Upon his return to the White House, Mrs. Coolidge asked him whether the sermon was good. To which he replied: “Yes.” “What was it about?” “Sin.” “What did the preacher say about it?” a “He was against it.” THE FARMER AS PURCHASER It has long been known that the farmer feeds the wt»rld. That state ment, however, usually causes one to have a mental vision of a man who holds a plow, wields a* hoe or drives a reaper. That is only a partial repre sentation of the truth. The farmer feeds ,the world not only by what he produces, but also by what he buys, i who thus adding prosperity to those are dependent upon mercantile insti tutions. The purchasing power 6f the farmer varies in different sections and in ac cordance with crop conditions, but In the aggregate it is much greater than many realize. This is set forth in the following paragraphs from an article b> John H. Perry in the American Review of Reviews: days. If there be ~*h old soldier there, it is he who may give such life to history as you never knew before aa he fights again the old battles and faces anew the periliPtyat are past. If there be in the company an old man who has remained rooted to the soil upon .which old age has overtaken him, he can give yon such an insight into local history and the develop ment of institutions of which his life has been a part as you could, not find upon the dry pages of written re cords. . , ’ It is well for us to pause sometimes and do our feeble best to twine h wreath about the brow of the aged. They have garnered for us the les sons of experience which bequeath a wealth of wisdom to Others. They have founded and fostered institutions which have laid a basis for the happi ness and prosperity of those who suc ceed them. They have made it possi ble for the light of today to be made up of the rays of yesterday. They are living proof of how much we owe to; the hast. > f In reality : > the old mon are not laid aside from the channels of usefulness. They live in the works which follow them even in their latter days. The sun is brightest at midday, but even after it sinks below the horizon th» light it leaves guides many a traveler to his home. The tree falls in the forest and in the Jong procession cf the years is converted into coal so that our fires may burn brighter to day. In such ways the old men make it possible for the light of other days to shine upon us and even in the after noon of their lives they bring to us mellow beams which should deepen the respect in which they deserve to be held.

We look upon them as and apply to them the term of old men. They have reached that stage in life at which they join in the ex perience of those to whom every day is Sunday, as the old saying goes. They walk no longer in the ways of the more strenuous duties of life and becoiqe well known figures at typse places where men gather to spend their leisure time. Those who look upon such men* with an appreciative eye may find much food for thought and may have kindled within them the fires of respect and honor which we too Often allow to die out by reason of the attention which the exacting tasks of the present demand. -.
