and peeling of onions. The tables
were spread in the old fashion picnic
•way and, aa the guests arrived, each
laden with his plate, knife, fork,
spoon and glass, they were asked (if
that, was necessary) to take their
place as near the eats as possible.
There was a mad rush for some few
minutes, then came the lull after the
storm—only the steady “chomp,
chomping” was heard for some 30
minutes, (perhaps somewhat longer
for others). The only regretable
event occurring during this hour was
ilitii. the gentlemen were either ftel-
ing badly or timid, and could not eat
very much—but the lady folks, espe-
cially some of the younger lady folks,
se< med to eat with a "coming'’ appe-
tite that had already “come" regard-
less of the inconvenient feeling later.
There was a unanimous decision that
the grocery men might close their
stores on the morrow, but that, the
drug stores would do a land-office
business.
The tables were cleared and games
were played until the hostesses an-
nounced that the next thing on the
program was "home and mother.”
As the guests departed, these two
wonderful liostespes. were showered
with congratulations, happy smiles,
and handshakes for this, .the perfect

Why should not congress give farm-

system designed to serve them alone?

congress thinks good for them. And
bankers are always at the elbow of
congress to help It think, What
farmers ought to have, what is sheer
