STEPS TO PROSPERITY.

Stop and think. Doesn't man who
owns any real estate always command
your respects Don't you think, "Oh, he's
all rightS" Aren't you little more
willing to listen TO him than to the man
unattached to the earth9 It's natural to
feel thus, and 1t may he right. Surely
respect Is due to the man who sits down
and intellgently thinks about his posi-
tion-how to get along in the world, and
who then put, his thoughts into action.

the same. We don't care il you get six
cents week, or six hundred dollars.

which consists of $50 acres.
They sent some of the last rock Sc
