Forty, fifty, and more years ago there were annual Old Ssttler gatherings. It was a big day and lots of shopping was done and I can look back and -still enjoy the good times they had. Oodles of fried chicken and speeches, and whiskers, and long skirts, and funny bonnets. Quavering voices were raised in songs of patriotism and Auld Lang Synes. And then there was Home Sweet Home, an almost unsung song today, and when the band played "The Star Spangled Banner," everyone Mrs. F. G. Mayes visited the sick and brought them delicacies ? McHenry had some mighty fine God-fearing and church-going people. •' ' ' Dick Bishop drove his fast trotter about town and -through the country? Jacob Story, with his cane, and serene bearing, went after his mail ? cracks and original stories? Mr McLean was a staunch Republican until,. in his old age, he went down south to live. He came back for a visit and had turned Democrat, which was evidently the childishness- of old age. A short story I recall will interest you: "Noah," says he, "was a good Republican, and, in loading the ark, kept his 'near-sighted' eyes upon all entries for his famous voyage. A Democrat appeared and demanded admission, but Noah told him that the Lord did not care to propagate his species. The Democrat, sore, beset, returned to his family in despair, but his wife was equal to the occasion. - "'Follow me and do as I do,' says she, as she got down on her hands and feet and, followed by her family and friends, went squealing and grunting up the gang plank to the ark. Noah shaded his weak eyes with his hand and an expression of delight spread over his face, as he said: 'Well, by gawd, if it ain't a new variety of short-nosed swine; and let them all in." I notice that Mr. Stoffel is still subtle and that his politics have not changed, nor has he Wen fooled by the "beat of distant drums." Have m(y friends, old and young, stopped to think that a goose is fattened before the kill ? Take that personally, I mean it Last fall I drew a parallel between a person ill with pneumonia and the "New Deal" The AAA^ was a "s'hot in our arm." The dole is another shot in the arm. A fattening for the "slaughter." Power, centralized in Washington, is a certain suicide for all of us. You know and I know that the dole cannot be long continued. We have no rea) wealth, except that which comes out of the soil, so curtailment of production is not a sound plan for recovery. Personally, I. do not believe in government ownership or dictatorship in private business by Washington. It is extremely unwise to deflate the dollar and raise the price of commodities because wages are very reluctant to follow! an increase. Two hundred dollars ar*ntonth to persona over sixtyfive sounds good, BUT, the price of everything would advance to such heights that the money would be worthless.
