THE POOR FARMER. Do something The farmers must have some good press agents. for the farmer has been a continual cry for many years, and it is heard loudest just prior to elections. These poor fellows who live off the fat of the land probably need some help. How about the poor consumer who lives in the cities? No one has ever suggested a way of taking care of him. They toil winter and summer in order that they might pay big prices to the farmer for what they eat and wear. The farmer works hard all summer, but in the winter he is a gentleman of leisure. In the fall of the year he buries his troubles until next spring when the planting season begins. Who ever heard of a farmer starving to death? JUDICIOUS ECONOMY.

In that manner the taxpayers will be duly protected by their representatives in legislature against unwarranted expenditures of peoples money. Then, too, the taxpayers hope that any and all duplications in offices and in efforts that can be avoided without impairing the efficiency of our state government will he done away with. This would merely be putting into public affairs the efficiency which rules in private business. prefer to give than receive.
