ried?''

considerable land out there, doesn e hep
About 800 acres. he traded some Of
it for town property"

From what know of that country I'd
keep all the good farm land / could

That's where you're level headed,
too" said Mr.. Walker. placing his
hand conhdentially ON the others
THAT land all through there is bound
to increase in value, and we can get a
crop there when they can't get it any
where else. "
Il told Sylvester Smith the same
thing. A man that's got a good farm
down in that country is fixed "
You're right You're right. wish
