tou KNOW,

One® & traveler was going
through ths corn belt of the
UiUU at in , the United
States, and he desired to
learn of the location of a
certain road. As it was get
ting Into in the afternoon he
Sodded to inquire of the
firat available person* Hu
soon saw an elderly man still
tolling in his field. The
traveler came to a stop and
aeon acquired the desired in
formation, and asked the far
mer what kind of work he ms
doing in his field. The far
4pcr replied that ho was plan
ting corn. The travdler
acted if it was a little late
to be planting com. of vdiich
the f-.iwer agreed that it ms
but ho wanted more corn so he
could feed more hOgs. The
traveler politely answered
thr.t he ms sorry that the
fanner didn't have* an ample
supply of hogs, but the far
mer Insisted that he did but
went in dotail to explain; ho
wanted more corn, so he could
feed and sell more hogs, so
ho could, buy more land, to
raise more corn, to feed more
hogs, and buy more land. The
traveler became quite con
tused by this time, and he
asked the farmer if he ms
aware of the laws of nature
that perhaps would not permit
him many more years in which
to onjoy his wealth. Then the
tired fanner's eyes boomed as
he told of his real ambition;
HORSEFEATHERS
ge'ro Just fresh out ofr
but nearly 1 anything else

the loTiest prices in totau

FOOD CENTER
and that was to leave his
land to his son so hc# too,
could grow corn, them feed it
to hogs, and buy more land*
I am wondering if our am
bitions "make just about that
much sense" to God that ore
ated and rulos this groat
Universo.
A thought for the week:
So-*c people are like blotters

get it r,ll backwards.
