"It is Important that all of us bankers,' manufacturers, whole salers, farmers and wage earners recognize the fact that the economic adjustment now going on is inevitable and must run its course. However, there are so many favorable features to the present situation, and so much of encouragement In the future out look, that it is difficult for me to be otherwise than optlmlBtic."

I blew a pile of dough, ' On you three years ago; Now you refuse to go, Or wont or can't. Through town, and countryside, You were my Joy and pride, A happy day. I loved thy gaudy hue, The nice white tires so new. Put you're now out of true, In every way. To thee, old rattleJbox, Came many bumps and knocks, For thee I grieve. Badly thy top is torn. Frayed are the seats and worn. Whooping cough affects thy horn, I do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze, While good folks choke and wheeze As we pass by. I paid for thee a price, 'Twould buy a mansion twice, Now everybody's yelling "ice" I wonder why. Thy motor has the grip, They spark plugs' have the pip. And woe is thine. I too, have suffered chills, Fatigue and kindred Ills, Endeavoring to pay my bills, Since thou were mine. Gone is my bank roll now. No more 'twould choke a cow. As once before. Yet had I the "mon" again, , So help me John, Amen. I'd buy a car again. And speed some more. MAKE IT SNAPPY GIRLS! (With humblest apologies to Robert Herrlck, who recognized the need three hundred years ago.) Pluck ye your eyebrows while ye may. Daub up your lips and nose.

SHIPPING OUT OLD MILL MACHINERY The old machinery from the Fischer Storey mill which burned here two years ago, Is being shipped out to the Albany Iron Works this week.

The Post voted unani mously in favor of the Farm or Home Loan and were very much opposed to the cash bonus of $15 for each month of service. The meeting considered the question from the standpoint of the voters and taxpayers and from the opposite angle, that of themnolves who are to be directly benefited. It was decided the cash bonus would be a big financial burden to the state and there tore undesirable. Also that the Farm or Home Loan would do more lasting anrt pp"nanent good wHhout hnndl. ci.iiS.Ua the state with f urtlvci big bond ' Issues, which everyone wishes to be; reduced as far as practicable, For boys' good grade knee pants DR.
