A Farmer’s Prayer.
Lord, 1 am only a fanner. Thou
kncwest that when wheat was 82 pc
bushel and I ban hour and sugar in the
bouse and eake and pie every time I
wanted it I was Dot satisfied and voted
for a change.
Thou knowest that 1 wore a Larding
bu,dg: anc was faithful in all things to
the G. O. P.
Even so thou knowest that J believed
iu the dawn of the new day and that
wool would advance in price, that I
would get 83 for wheat and 20 cents for
my pork.
Lord, two years have gone by never
to return and 1 am too poor to buy the
necessary Rockefeller for my Henry.
Still 1 wear the Harding badge, but
it’s on the seat of my overalls.
0 Lord, 1 am thankful for one thing,
that Harding has been able to make
jackrabbits ta-ue good in the summer
time. 1 pray thee that. Thou wilt keen
them replenished so that I shall dot
want.
1 am glad, o.. Lord, that Thou hast
prospered the railroads and that they !
have been able to keep up their freight'
rates when irA coi r would not pay the
e:- peuses of gathering, and 1 pray Thee
that Tb'-u will continue to uphold
Mellon that be may be able to collect;
for y.aii interest on the funds fof his]
on bank account, for it is a righteou
course.
Ttach me to pray, Our Father who j
art in Wash': -don, Harding be his |
name, his ki: gd> m come, he will be 1
dom even to be- -;ng the soldiers out j
of a bonus. Give us each day our daily j
corn bread, that Wilson tried to matte j
us eat for tw years and Harding bad'
us eating in three months, and 1 u
not into temptation to vote for a demo
crat:.' pre.siut ot, lor Harding got all 1
the |". wer and Mellon all the money !
