that this was an attempt to
"rig" the examination so that
Appling's man would be in.

this was "cheap, political pop
pycock." "It is very gratifying to
have our judgment of Mr.
Thompson confirmed in such
a rigorous competition con
ducted by the civil service
commission," Appling com
mented. Thompson served five years

To The Farmer
i
From the soil comes - the sustenance f the
world. From the hard working man-who tills tht
soil comes tht fruits of Nature in ; "bountiful
rray. God lovts the Farmer, someone hat said,
because he is in such close communion with
tht good earth.. He plows it. He plants it. He
worries over it. And lo, then his smiting fields
re lush and abundant with tassels, tomatoes
and all the things we eat. Fat cows and porkers
give us milk and meat. And Mrs. Farmer has
chickens and turkeys fort the market.' Without
the Farmer there would be no life or living. Let's
salute his sun up to sunset existence-. . . and
be grateful for his bounty! . .,
