Wnl that's not a bad idea," said Aunt
Melindy, "and so ll:;.S jot'. an
in tight, you can take some of that
Ji.i.i'ur and build a new rhicken
house, clean out the old one, mend
the wire, make a drinking trough,
put tip some new nests, bum the old
ones unil then whitewash the whole
business. I'm on to you, my friend:
a new srheme o git my aigs; 'jut It
won't work. The only chickens you
-will ever look after are the very ones
lhat I'll see that you don't look after,
my Chicken Fancying Friend! Come
here! " but Ben had gone where
he could tell his tale of woe 10 a
jnore sympathizing soul.
"I'll be dog-goned If I can under
stand politics. Here's Cam Moriimn
ays he learned to be a Democrat by
attending a Republican Convention,
as a delegate." "I wonderf ' said Me
lindy, "if he were like a lot of the
rest and bolted the cooTention, be
oaiise they wouldn't let him run It.
J" know one or two Democrats that
are going to vote for Republicans this
iUme because they didn't get enong'i
raay In politic ut ,h(?m- Darn
Itoe politics I ay. If they'll let me
ote one time for Johi Oriffuh, ler
Sheriff and Will Heath fer Congress
jnan I'll quit."
Ben to hia Banjo:
These are surely the difficult days
"When a man goes out t ote.
Tor no matter which lot he hustles fer
He surely Is theVoat.
If he votes for the Democracy,
He's supported all his days,
He finds he's a prohibitionist
To his very sad amaze!
If he votes for a Republican,
As good as he ever has met, '
He's cut by his religious friends
For they think he's voted "wet!"
I think I'll vote fer Tarker
And I think I'll vote fer Vann
The only good excuse I've .got
Is that I'm a Union man.
I asked the "Wldder how she'd vote
She said .
What the "Wldder" said was not
related, as a particularly bad egg
hurst when his collar mot his neck.
"Now go over and ask her." yelled
CUelindy. "She'll smell the noi3C of
the battle afar off. Come back you
animal! I've got half a dozen more
old nest eggs here. Regular election
-ggs and I'll let yo-have Ifceni cheap.
G'wan then, she'll sure smell you a
wniin'." He never heard for he was
"on bis way," shedding Ms coat as
lie went.

Hub May and buy a horse hide and

"I was a watchin' the hunch go Into

"Some day we'll understand." "Per

yelled Melindy, ns she broke the only
good chair over the old man's head.
"Well, hereafter, you'll go to church
with me, not at all." "Can't be done,"
snarled Uncle Ben, "I've joined the
Mormon church, and I'm a goin' to
gela a job with Senator Smoot in
Washington. How do you like lhat,
you old she-porpoise, you!!"
Hen to his Banjo:
I still continue to puzzle my brains
Over politics, I say
I want to do what's strictly right
Ar.d I want to see fair play
I'd like to vote fer Hoover.
For Bickett says he's good
But he Is a Roosevelt Republican
If he did fit up our food,
I studied what both of the parlies say
About running the land and sich
And after I read It over twice.
I-cannot tell which Is which.
It seems to me like the same old song
I've heard a many a dav
It's: "Do not do what the leader do
But do as the leaders say."
There's Colby up In the Cabinet
Another old Roosevelt man
I wish- old Teddy was here alive
And I'd vote fer him If he ran
The Wldder "
The crash of the best mirror broken
by a bad shot of Melindy with the
stove lifter, slopped the harmony and
the laneuage that Melindy used on
seeing the result of her artillery prac
tice will not be recorded here, as this
is a decent paper. No one would have
guessed on hearing It that Melindy sat
in the "Amen corner" regularly at
church, but she said, "Ben would lose
the religion of a Saint."
"I wnnder what's the chance of get-
tin' a job as County Health Officer,"
said Ben. "Darn little, I should say."
sneered Melindy. "I got a better
chance myself, but since you mention
It, you can Inspect these premises and
cut some drains out of the hog lot;
haul the manure out in the fields;
clean up the premises generally, and
then report lo me, and as a special
favor I'll let you clean nil the pots
off and dry the dishes as I wash them.
Win, Ihul I thilll l-flll t! II "
but Ben hud slipped out and was well
on his way across the fields lo where
a female figure could be seen gath
ering "cresses." the bright sun shill
ing on a head of brilliant red hair.
"I see Casey Caldwell Is in the hos
pital." said Uncle Hen. "Yes, you can
see lhat In the paper, sure enough,
but you see darn little In the paper
about all Ihe hard work he has done
for the town. There's never anything
goes on but he's a leader in It, and
irhls name gets in Ihe paper It's an
.iiTlilent. Casev's 'all to the mustard.'
and here's hopln' he's about and well
soon. In fer him everytlme, and I'm
tellln' you. See! ! !" "Well, fer
land's sake." said Uncle Ren, "what
a 'tempest in a teapot.' If I were to
talk that way about the Wldder "
Another one or the election eggs stop
unit Tlpn'i rtinnlh at this no lilt and the
room needed disinfecting; but Me
lindy only chuckled at the success of
her shot and the quick stopping oi

vigorously and spitting out the rotten
egg and pieces of shell.

I The Cotton Farmer's Cow
The farmer who grow.s so much cotton that he has no room
for a cow is neglecting a chance to make some easy money.
If he would follow the advice of the American Cotton As
sociation, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use
carefully selected seed and fertilize highly
He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre,
thereby maintaining the standard of supplies, but reduc
ing the net cost per pound ;
He would have left acreage on his farm to keep cows, to
raise hogs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give him enough extra
cash so that he could store his cotton in the system of
warehouses advocated by the American Cotton Associa
tion and get for it a fair and equitable price.
This Bank, first, last and all the time, is for the American
Cotton Association's program of better cotton, higher
prices, diversified crops and more money for all!
