"Nails have doubled In price
during the past few years," said thtj
Democratic orator, at the Farmers
picnic. Your " dollar will buy only
one-half as many nails as it did a
short time ago," he continued.
"True," interrupted the Wise Farm
er. "but one-third as many eggs
bring us a dollar now; so wo buy
more nails for the same number of
eggs."
The Democrats say the Payne
bill Increased the price of clothing
25 per cent, and then tell the farm
er that the same bill decreased the
nrice of wool. Thero Is a screw
loose somewhere in that reasoning.
The truth Is the woolen schedules
of the Payne bill are precisely the
same as In the Dingley bill so the
tariff has had no effect on the fluc
tuations one way or tho other.

Dr. E. W. Downton, of Starruc

Tho big car was being driven north
on Oak street from Rlversldo Drivo

street Downton took for granted that
tho small car was going to turn Into

or wrong side of the street to pass to
the left of tho smaller car on tho

avoid a collision. Tho left front
wheel of his car hit tho curbing at
an angle which prevented tho wheel
from mounting the curb, ana tn

glo was sufllclent to break th
spokes of tho wheel at the hub. The

aged, dropped to tho ground and tho
