A cage in point is the feeding

gjChairman Legge of thb; Fedti
Farm Board said th-a other day tli
the feeding of wheat has become
general That J t may absorb enough

favor of the farmer. A few progr?
sive farmer^ slated this Sgyei

dropped.out of the wheat market.
If everybody, who is feeding be
cattle or 'hogs. "would feed 'o>'h?;

they can m\'>duce more beef or po
per bushei of w-hear fed than
feeding: the"same amount of corn. .

Chicago Board of Trade Wheat
Kalmornially cheap, corn hot much t
low a normal pried for this time
year. The only reason why com
usually fed to livestock and poult
? instead of wheat is bet aiisc corn
so much cheaper. At anything H
the same price, wheat is the mo

Sossamon's Sayings
By LtiROY SOSSAMON
ICKABOD IN SLEEPY HOLLOV
The sky was black as ink.
The stars were hid from view;
Between the folds rvf mv r.M pao*
The wind came whistling: throug
The hollow seemed scarcely to breatl
And mv heart missed one Ion
drawn beat
When once a solitary Weed
Entangled with my feet.
A whine came from the distance.
And I stumbled over a log?
Falling into a puddle of mud,
Because of some farmer's dog.
The trees shivered in a fright
And the sound of falling leaves
Mimicked the ryme of a skeleton
dance
Under some poor miser's eaves1
found the rain soaked trail again
And run with all my might,
Till in the distance, nearing home
1 saw the welcome light.
The branches still reached out lor ri
The devils raved in hosts;
^xaSH fat, catching the know of .1 frier.dl
door,
I bade adieu the ghosts.
"Look at the lovely radio set I g(
today, dear, and only $5 a month."

h; "I have a heart-breaking time with

!We have a good time. We enjoy our

That seems to us Americans a very
terrible utterance. It is treason to
the spirit of modern business. Of
course, a man should force his pro- j
j auction, and his sales, and force his'
own poor mind and body until he
dies at the age of sixty with an or- 1

Somewhere between the French atIy
titude and our attitude there must 1
be a nan-way point thai would coin- bine
the best elements of both. i
