right now In the middle of the cotton
belt had a real hard time and It has been
a continuous struggle to keep things go

than lust season nnd this Is some conso

The trouble, however, has not been
confined to the farms alone, for It you
strike the agricultural interests of the
country everything else must suffer pro

farms, as has been aptly said, the seas
would be shlpless, deserts and the cities
houseless plains. Therefore whenever
the farmer feels the touch of adferslty
It becomes Immediately contagious and
all lines of business and trado feel the

The farmer Is the only man who car

If you were a merchant, would
n't you rather sell a thousand
yards of silk in a day. at a protit
of 10c a yard, than to sell (with
out advertising) fifty yards, at a
profit of 2octs a yard?
Isn’t it plain that in all such

merchant to do?

brother,
“Let us tell tales of the past to each
other; V
I can tell of banquet, and rev
mirth.
Where I was king, for I ruled
might;
Kor the proudest and grandest souls
on earth
Fell under my touch, as though
struck with blight.
From the heads of kings I have torn
the crown;
From the heights of fame 1 have
hurled men down.
1 have blasted many an honored name,
I have taken virtue and given shame;
I have tempted the yauth with a sip,
a taste,
I That has made his future a barren
waste.
| Far greater than any king am I.
Or than any army beneath the sky.
I have made the arm of the driver
fall.
And sent the train front the Iron
rail.
I have made good ships go down at
sea,
And the shrieks of the lost were
sweet to me.
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before
me fall;
And my might and power are over
all?
