Frank Williams
Getting Hoggish
Frank Williams is proving to be a
gentleman farmer as evidenced by
the fact that he has just killed two
large Poland-China hogs which
weighed 1106 pounds when dressed.
They produced 506 pounds of cur
ing meat, 43 gallons of lard and 125
pounds of sausage.
One of the hogs weighed 610
pounds- An unusual coincidence is
the fact that the daddy of this hog
when killed two years ago, dressed
exactly the same weight, 610 pounds.
Frank is a firm believer in the fact
that comfortable living can be made
on the farm is a farmer is indus
trious and raises the best in livestock
as well as farm products.

Letter To Old
Man Folks
In Ihe Valley
There's a lily In the valley
Of every heart and tears,
A rose vine on a mountain
To bloom In other years
A voice out in the offing,
As sweet as any song,
And lots of other reasons
Why 'tis sweet to live along.
Dear Old Man Folks:
I reckon we hadn't thought a
great deal about it up to now . . .
But we are fixing to travel again.
We do not know where we are go
ing, though, as we rig up our rig
ging and crawl aboard the coach of
the New Year Train, which is now
just around tire corner. But many
of us do know and with too many
regrets, the stations we have Passed
. .. but why should I go deeper into
this, since each of us have a little
book ... a Recollection Book, of
where we have been; the times we
have derailed our little caboose, and
any and all the smooth sailings we
l»ve had, along our little track of
Time!
So, I believe, folks, the better town
we are now at should be known to us
as a Think Station!
We can look a pretty distance back
and down a wobbley line—leading us
to hero. But out yonder a piece, the
track seems to curve and wrap itself
about a •great mountain of Mystery!
Yes, the poem does say “There's
a Illy in the valley, and a rose on a
mountain,’’ but the poem does not
say it all. There's no lily in the val
ley and no rose about the mountain
unless we search diligently for them
and find them there! Unless we have
a love for them and crave them! The
way is rough unless we make a beau
tiful wish and follow it to the end
of itself.
Call it a Resolution. But this Is
not the word for it, Resolutions are
weak things. Desires, though, are
as big as mountain? and as strong
May we all desire to make the com
ing New Year a better year, and if
we do, the year will be kinder to us.
