The fact that no names are used iv this story must not be allowed t: cast a doubt upon its authenticity | It is absolutely and wholly true, ar at least three persons ina little town in Kansas know, the Nervous Farm er, the Woman and the Cashier. It was in the begianing of the r- cent financial flurry that the Nervous Farmer demanded his deposit.

The Farmer showed more deep, heartfelt regret at the Woman’s re ply than ever he had displayed fn all his grasping career. He insisted that he hated to go to town with empty coops but, of course, the Woman couldn’s help that. She’d sold her chickens for cash, The Farmer wouldn’t believe her. He pushed in- to the henhouse and searched thor- oughly for chickens. Then he drove away with a face as long as @ wagon tongue. hk se 4 Ss 2S That afternoon the woman drove to town—to the bank. She opened an account. Handed it to the Cash fer, in one roll, $910, with a rubber pretty sure that he recognized that roll. But he couldn’t say anything. The Farmer hasn’s whispered a word.

There are turkeys and turekys, and I in they diff - who shall say wherein Shey diller ex tion of the campaign all along the prehensive that a vigorous prosecu-| ceptin price? A few inquiries were made about turkeys, says the K. C. Star. First, it was learned that com- mission men, who deal {n poultry are quoting various prices to the retall- ers. ‘Ihe seeker for {nformation had presumed shat all hen turkeysshould be priced at one figure and gobblers at another slightly lower. But not so. Hen turkeys were quoted yes- terday by one commission merchant at 7 cents for the live stock, while his next door neighbor priced them at 9 line {s assured, and one that we may well feel contident will bring early success. Your Committee, therefore, unani- mously upprove the recommenda- tions of the Worthy Master and the the Executive Committee, The resolutions referred to this committee are {n harmony with the plan and are hereby approved and {ncurporated in she following—which {fapproved will become the platform, as {¢ were, on which the Grange cam- palgn will be fought: Wuereas: The improvement of the highways of the country {sa mat- ter of general public concern, and should properly receive the attention and assistance of the Nattonal Gov- ernment, and Wuereas: The revenue ratsed by taxes by the people of the country as a whole should be devoted as far as possible to purposes which will bene- fisthe greater number of the taxpay- ers in all sections of the country, and Wuereas: No argument can be advanced in favor of the annual ap- propriations by Congress on behalf of river and harbor tmprovements that does not apply even more strongly to the {mprovement of our public roads; therefore Resouvep: That the NATIONAL GRANGE favors @ general policy of good roads construction by the various municipalities, countiés and states, and RESOLVE “Can’t be any trust in this bust- mation to one of the dealers. “Why?” was the inquiry. “Your prices differ so.” “Sorry to dispel the filusion, but “I don’t understand.” “Eleven cents is the price for fancy “Seven cents fs for hens that have crooked breast boues or other defor mities. They are what wecall ‘culls.’ They are just as good to eat as the others but a wise housewife can spot a deformed turkey clear across the street. And she’ll have none of it. Begin to understand?” “I begin to see more clearly. But ff vou sell turkeys to the retatlers for 11 cents—the best ones—why do the consumers have to pay 18 cente? That {s the price to-day.” “Our price is for live stock. A twenty-pound turkey will shrink two pounds when dressed. And it costs acent and @ half a pound to dress them. The retallers have to keep wagons and men to deliver the birds. They are not charging too much.” An up-town retafler said the top price for Christmas turkeys will be 18 cents a pound. A clty market dealer said he will offer hens for 15 cents and gobblera for 14 cents. Chickens are 1.24 to 15 cents, but the young ones—brol'ers, they call them : That we favor the {m- Congress making liberal federal ap- propriations for the improvement of the public highways of the country, these appropriations to be expeuded in such manner as Congress may pre scribe.
