The farmers are making good
use of the old adage, “Make hay
while the sun shines,” still there
are many far behind with their
work. Some have good stands
of corn, while others have just
planted. The ground is getting
very hard from recent heav>
rains, and it’s getting next to both
man and beast to plow it. W heat
is looking fine. Fall oats also are
looking splendid.
I guess the thermometer will
fall below zero in the political
world now. as the nomination is
over. It has been 90 in the shade
and still rose. But everything is
quiet and serene now. After the
storm a calm—maybe we 11 have
some rest now, for a little while
at least. The election at Worth
ville was the most hotly contested
election ever held there.

A Lesson From
Holy W rit
Don’t give a stone
when you are asked
for bread. Just give
a loaf of our

It is not better to give
this than to receive it,
for it is delightfully
fresh, sweet, well
baked, and so fully
nourishing.
