Ten years ago a Fennimore
farmer put an X mark on a silver
dollar and went to town and spent
it with a merchant. Before the
year was out he got the marked
dollar back again for poultry and
spent it again with village
merchant. Four times in six years
that dollar came home to him for
produce and three times he heard
of it in the pockets of his neighbors.
The last time he got it in change
three years ago, he sent it to Chic
ago to mail order house that has
amassed a hundred million dollars
selling third rate stuff. He has
never seen that dollar since and
never will until the crack of doom.
That dollar will never pay any
more school or road, tax for him,
never help build up the town or
country, never bless and brighten
the home of his neighbors. He
sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to him.
