THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT ONE of the town's local merchants showed a farmer a buggy, priced at $90, and the farmer kicked,, because twenty years ago his father bought one just like it for 60. Then the merchant looked up the sale and found that the father had turned in 300 bushels of corn for that huggy, and he told the farmer's son to deliver him 300 bushels of corn and he would give him; 1$90 buggy, 1 $75 wagon, 1 $20 suit of clothes, 1 $20 dress, 2 $5 baby dresses, $10 worth of Crossett shoes, S10 worth of Arrow shirts, $10 worth 8 of sugar, $10 worth of tea, $100 worth 8 of gasoline, $15 worth of lubricating E 8 oil. " The total figures $365.00, as the value of 300 bushels of corn, and it is needless need-less to say that the high cost of living disappeared from the farmer's mind and he bought the buggy. I Some such reckoning as this might 8 be a good thing for those people who B never stop to consider the other fel- low's troubles. 1 o 8
