The government has taken up this dubious Iagriculturlst and placed him where he belongs, the income tax returns from farmers, says: "A person cultivating or operating a basis other than the recognized princi- to year, is not regarded as a. farmer." if he loses more than he makes out ol the farm, he doesn't have to include his crop~values in figuring his income for the government tax. So there you have it. out at last. Every real farmer in Am erlca has known right along that the ="gentlenian farmer" or “agriculturlst” , isn't a farmer at all, but merely a more or less eccentric city man temporarily residing in the country; nobody. how— ever, supposed the government. itself would blurt it right out like that. it may gall the successful farmer a little to have to pay an income tax when his genteel neighbor is relieved of the burden just because he doesn‘t know enough about the business to make it pay.

Mr. Cole has been a friend to many a hungry wanderer and if some who are beyond the reach could come back to earth, more than i can say could be proven. There-ls one name I will make public, because he was friendless and homeless before he died, William Phillips. an aged colored man, known all over town, had become unable to work and was penniless. When Mr. Cole heard of it he got him a room and gave an order to Ellen medieu’s grocery, as well as to a near- by butcher, to give the man whatever he wanted and charge it to, him. But Billy didn't live long, and his last thoughts were doubtless about his ben- efactor. I think I have written enough to prove that sometimes where least expected. the best comes along.
