AS we said before, we are making no
money this year by what we are doing
We are simply paying out cash for the i'm
proyement of our property, as farmer
incurs expense to enrich his grounds, that
it may bring larger crop, or a merchant
enlarges his store and stock to win more
trade.
What the soil is to the farmer and the
store and stock are to merchant, that
the circulation is to Il newspaper.

our store and stock and are paying good
wages to everybody who will help us along
with the Improvement.
