Oar Farmers' Place in Sun.

When- it comes to reserving grandstand seats in the sun, the kaiser' cannot have a monopoly. The American farmer is entitled to a place in the front row. At the present moment our farmers are feeding 100,000,000 foreigners. They have all other aiders backed off the emergency map by the immensity of their work. It takes about 1,500,000 bushels of wheat to supply wasteful Americans with their own daily bread. In some recent weeks we have exported just about that much more to frugal Europeans. An easy sum in arithmetic shows that by the sweat of our farmers’ brows last summer 100,000,000 hungry folks beyond the Atlantic are now eating their daily bread. I should say that nearly breaks a record for foreign mission work.—Philadelphia Ledger, “Magic Ink erasers,” spun glass, I nickle plated holder, only 25c at The Democrat office.
