DUGGAN BROTHERS
THE PLOW OF GOD
If you will listen you will hear, from cast to west,
Growing sounds of discontent and deep unrest
It is just the progress-driven Plow of God,
Tearing up the well-worn, custom-bounded sod.
Shaping out each old tradition-trodden track
Into furrows—fertile furrows, rich and black.
Oh, what harvests they will yield
When they widen to a field!
They will widen, they will broaden, day by day,
As the progress-driven plow keeps on its ways,
It will riddle all the ancient roads that lead
In palaces of selfishness and greed.
It will tear away the almshouse and the slum.
That the little homes and garden-plots may come.'
Yes, the gardens green and sweet
Shall replace the stony street.
Let the wise man iiear the menace that is blent
In this ever-growing sound of dicontent.
Let him hear the rising clamor of the race
That the few shall yield the many larger space;
For the crucial hour is coming when the soil
Must be given to, or taken back, by Toil.
Oh, that mighty Plow of God—
Hear it breaking through the sod!

the cent'qi' of the store.
it was extinguished in a few
minutes, resulting in slight damage
to the building. The stock consist
ing of groceries was damaged by

Origin of Popular Saying.
The origin of the saying that it
takes nine tailors to make a man ie
thought by tome to be a corruption of
“nine tellers make a man." the "tel
lers" being another name for “tolls”
of a bell. The English custom was to
strike three times three tolls or “tel
lere" on the passing bell for the death
of a man- It was three times two for
a woman.
Ho Knew Teacher.
“A small boy dropped Into a store
on the North Side on his way to
school to get some candy,” says the
Holton Signal. “While he waß look
lng over the assortment displayed In
the case the saleemi* called his at
tention to some fr-,.1 lemon drops.
‘Naw,’ the boy said. ‘G*nme some jellv
