A TOAST TO THE FARMER.
(An eastern paper proposed the fol
lowing toast to the poor farmer:
"Here's to the poor farmer. How
can be have a very merry time when
he has nothing to live in but a big
house, nothing to shelter his horses
but a warm barn, nothing to eat ex
cept everything that grows In the
ground or can be bought at the store,
so way to get his mail except having
it brought to him every , day ' by a
smiling mall carrier who will soon be
wearing Uncle Sam's uniform with
rhining brass buttons, no way to get
to town but with a rubbertired buggy
or auto, no way to make money but
by selling CO cent corn, 35 cent but
ter, $5 hogs, 27 cent eggs and have
his farm double in price every once in
jl while. While you are enjoying your
Sunday dinner, don't forget to drop a
lear for the poor down-trodden farmer
man."
