LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

J. W. Faylor Writes From His New Home in Ohio. J. W. Faylor, formerly of Union township, writes The Democrat from his ppw home near Jefferson, 0., Jefferson, 0., July 8, 1920. Jasper County Democrat, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sirs —Find enclosed check to place me on the sunny side of life. Since leaving Jasper county we have taken different papers and thought we could do without your paper, but it seems impossible as it is as good as a personal letter from our old friends in Jasper. We like our new home in eastern Ohio very well. Have lots of brick roads here and the best of markets We are located 12 miles south of Ashtabula, 30 miles north of Youngstown and 100 miles from Pittsburg. We have men here from every state, as land is the cheapest here of any place in the U. S. All of the young men have been going to the cities for years. We are one of a dozen from Fulton county, Ind., who have bought farms here this spring, and some six or eight from Jasper county. Ohio is bound to furnish the President this fall, and his name will be Cox as the farmer doesn't care to vote against his own interests. Harding is the man that said in congress that the farmer could get rich raising wheat at $1 per bushel, when the universities had figured out the 1919 crop, under present conditions, and the actual cost was several times $1 per bushel. So, you see, if Harding is right, us poor, ignorant farmers and the universities are wrong. Best regard to old friends. J. W. FAYLOR.
