A MILLIONAIRE FARMER.


Until recently there was an enron
lecus Impress on prevalent among
country boys that they had to go TO-
the large cities TO get rich. Although
This belief has been almost entirely
di sipated nowadays, there still re-
mains large quota Of young men
from teh farm who seek fame and
fortune in the large manufacturing
and industrial centers every year.
They did not stop to think that the
lvast improvements and numberless
offer increased opportuni

There never was better promise held
out to the thrifty intelligent farmer
Than there is today.
