THE MUNICIPAL WOODY ARD. | The serious situation of the fuel question has caused men everywhere to bejrin to consider this important topic.

Now is the time to take cure of the situation let the town and all the citizens of tho town look the situation squarely in the face and be ready when the serious hour arrives.

Several material pains have been made on the wsetern front.

The plow-horse follows the straight and narrow (sometimes it's pretty crooked) furrow, becauae he is broke. I often w< nd< r if that id the n lltn why si me folks follcw th same c Id rut. L<t's see if it is. For convenience, say there are three general classes of farmers; tired farmers, re-tired farmers and rubber-tired farmers. The first class, ihe tired farmer, kinda tickles the soil, throws in some seed and then follows the shade around the house till bar vesting time when he keeps the kid dies home from school lo harvest th?> crop, lit doesn't read, doesn't go to fairs, dosen't vote, but ho sure stretchis the pull-back straps when it comes to voting bonds for better schools and better roads. He is too tired and needs a rest ? at something else. The second class, the re-tired far mer, is the one who moves to town and lets the tenant scratch the farm for halves. His sons and daugnters are sc ttered and so are his interests. He just mopes around at nothing in particular. Things are good enough for him and they ought to be good enough for the younger generation. Hi' whittles goods boxes for a past time. The third class, the rubber-tired fnrmer, is the man of the hour. He has an automobile (or Ford), a mod ern home on the farm, half hid from the road among the shrubbery and flowers. He has his boys and girls in school. He h ;s a big bunch of bogs, sheep and cattle on rotated fields and permanent pastures. He has a bank account and some Liberty Bonds. He uses his vote and pj'Bmotes all that is for the well-being of his neighbors and country. He is happy. He doesn't follow a rut; he makes a new road and a paved one at that. The . igns of the times are that the tired farmer is being pushed off the land, the re-tired farmer is dying off, and th rubber-tired farmer is hold ing his own, and will continue to it so long a# he lives on his farm.
