Taa Burden Reduces
Farm LiVing Standard
By a Farmer Correspondent

0J a SAakoA NOiAONPOAAONHb
CHARLESTON, MOI am writ
ing you a few words in regard to
the cotton tax, hog tax, and the
tax on grain.
The hog tax is $3.50 on every
hundred pounds. The farmer Is
also taxed 50 on every hundred
bushels Of corn he sells. How is
the poor farmer going to live and
pay these taxes?
The government rented thou
sands of acres of land from the
big landlords and paid them 81
to $40 an acre, and let it lay idle
this year. If it was planted with
crops, it would have worked thou
sands eff men and fed thousands
Of heads of harness mules, cattle,
and hogs this winter and kept
them from starving to death.

mand more than that. VIZ, the
Communists organize the women for
that time when we can wrest from
the ruling class, the joy as you
describe it, of giving us charity.
The best, Mrs. Roosevelt, that you
have to offer is too shoddy, too
shallow, too hypOcritical, too little
for us.
The Working Woman, which is
steadily growing, needs some vol
unteer to act as business manager.
1t would require work three times

In THE HO M E
Mrs. Roosevelt Offers Too Little
BY ANN TON
WE must be thankful this Thanks

WE must be thankful this Thanks
giving. Farmers and their
wives who live in the drought area
must be thankful. Men and women
living on relief, however made
quate, must be. thankful. We must
all count over our unusual bless
ings" this year of the depression,
1884. The principal woman spokes-
man for the Roosevelt administra-
ton says so. Mrs. Franklin d.
Roosevelt herself says so, in her
regular monthly article for a wo-
mans magazine.
She says we must be thankful
at Thanksgiving because there are
"the possibilities which open up
before us to help our fellow human
beings"
BE Thankful"
''Let each of us this ThankSgiv-
ing Day count over our unusual
blessings wherever we may be
living" she writes. Even if it is
in the drought area, perhaps some
of us may find that our positions
are improved a little. F. Others like
the woman I heard of in the south,
not long ago, have to be thankful
that relief has come to them from
the quarter from which they dared
not hope it would come. Even if
it is only relief, and relief made
quately given-let us be thankful
for it,"
Be thankful you 10000 homeless
women, you nearly 100000 I'M
employed, you millions working
part time, you who are striking
against wage-cuts. You still can
help your fellow. BY this time, if
you are serenely and properly
thankful, Mrs. Roosevelt has done
her work well, and may law down
her work well, and may lay down
You are not thankful? Well here is
some more.
Mrs. Roosevelt tells the sad story
of woman she knows well. This
woman is mot exactly what you
and would call poor" This lady
still lives pretty much as she al
ways has, but she can no longer
give charity to persons and funds
to organizations. She therefore
feels she has little to be thankful
for. But Mrs. Roosevelt consoles
her. She can give, Mrs. Roosevelt
says, sympathy, understanding,
strength. But for the general run

Pure Natural Mineral Water
May Help
MILLIONS FIND IT
VERY BENEFICIAL

For over 1000 years the great min
eral waters of the World, given to us
by Mother Nature, have proven them
selves very beneficial in the treatment
OF rheumatic aches and pains, ar
Thrills, sluggishness, certain stomach
disorders and other chronic ailments.
1t has been estimated that Ameri-
ans alone have spent 500, 900, 900 a
year in going TO the mineral wells
and health resorts Of Europe. Over
Sl,000,000 of these foreign mineral
waters are imported annually into this
country to help suffering humanity.
But it isn't necessary to go to Eu-
rope to find fine natural mineral water.
We have many marvellous mineral
waters IN our own country-many ex-
cellent health resorts to which you can
go for the mineral water treatment
for rheumatic" aches and pains.
Most surprising of all, however, is
the fact that today you can make a
natural mineral water in your own
home at a tremendous saving in ex-
pense. For Crazy Water Crystals
bring you, in crystal form, healthful
minerals taken from one OF the
worlds fine mineral waters. Just the
natural minerals. Nothing is added.
All you do is add Crazy Water
Crystals to your drinking water, and
you have a great mineral water that
has helped millions to better health
and greater happiness.
A standard size box of Crazy Water
Crystals costs only $1.50 and is suffi-
cient for several weeks thorough
treatment for rheumatic pains. Crazy
