AN OPEN SWITCH
It is not often that we get side-
tracked and run into an open switch,
but here we are, right in the ditch,
upside down and the boiler full of
escaping steam.
As ^ farmer, with the farmers we
want to stand, and if we have to die
we want to be buried in the Farmers'
lot, where the wild grape vines grow
and the sunflower sheds its bloom.
We have had barrels of weeping
tears shed for our farmer friends by
those who had tears to spare. We
have sat under the weeping willow
tree and heard the sighing of vocal
men and women sighing for our re-
lief, because \ve humbly followed the
plow from sun to sun. Through
drouth and famine, we as a farmer,
stood on the burning deck and saw
others escape because they were not
farmers. At last the sun began to
cast a streak of light along the
eastern horizon, bringing daylight to
the poor farmer and his toiling wife.
The toiler in the fields began to
feel the warmth of living, marked
by the advance of prices ot produce
from the farm; but, alas! the sun
is now' under an eclipse. Only the
farmers sun, is covered by a veil of
darkness thrown over it by the pres-
ent attempt of squelching the price
of butter and eggs and cranberries.
The farmer feels the weight of the
foot that is lifted, wearing a twelve
dollar shoe, and the stomach is going
to be boycotted and no butter allowed
to enter therein in order to help the
po^r farmer.
What shall we do to be saved from
our friends?
