The Farmers
If you would know where wealth It
born Just seek the.,haunts of cows and
corn for In the farmer we behold the
nation's greatest source of gold. While
city dwellers scratch and strive to get
nough to keep al.ve, the farmer coaxes
from the ground a bunch of dollars
hard and round. At harvest time the
fruitful soil repays him for his summer
toll and when the winter bVeczes blow
he doesn't have to plow or hoa, but he
can loaf around the barn, or. If he
wants to hear a yarn, he sidles to the
general store where soap box generals)
win the war. Just now his barns are
full tf stuff that'll going to call the
Kaiser's bluff, because his crops pro
vide the feed that we and all our allien
need and every one who knows will
say "The Yankee farmer saved the
day." WILL MOORE.
