J The politician started in with olives nd soup and orderéd everything on the bill of fare down to dessert and nuts. “And now,” he said, turning to the farmer, “What do you wish?” . “I wish,” said the farmer, “that I'd never met you.” X % " SOUNDS REASONABL*J Did you know that Grabski is minister of finance in Poland? % * In a western town a couple of In- dians were talking together, a short time ago, in their own language.

AM afraid the board of trade - perhaps won’t like this brief tirade that tells just how the price is made. : But when the farmer has the wheat the word go “up and-down the street, “Dem#nd is short, the crop is long, so why not buy 1t for a song?” And all the brokers have a fit as they throw wheat into the pit. The papers talk of “bumper crops” and ev’ry ‘hour the wheat price drops. But as the winter rolls around the talk all has another sound. “We haven’t half the wheat we need.” (Just. then the farmer’s buying Aeed) The papers talk of “starv- | ing millions”; the brokers smile, and pocket bllllons. And day by day the prices rise until they seem to touch the skies. Each broker figures, in his seat, the value of the nation’s wheat, and gives the fig- ures out, and winks, “Them farm- ers sure are wealthy ginks.” "And Farmer Brown throws out his chest, looks modest, says, “We've done our best.” But Farm- er Jones, who lives next door, has seen the same game worked before, and says, “Friend ‘Brown, you're . full of beans, have you a nickel in your jeans? T don’t know where these millions went, but you and I ain’t’ made a cent.”
