HOW MONEY GROWS. - Money
grows spontaneously i'm this valley al
most anywhere. but in some places
more than others. Just as soon as a
man buys a piece Of land. money be-
gins to sprout on it. Two years ago a
piece Of land just south of the ranch
of NJ. A. Stanford southeast of the
city. was sold for $50 an acre a year
ago il sold again at sl25 per acre. Two
months ago it sold again at $50 per
acre and the other day the owner re-
fused $500 per acre for it. Nothing
was ever planted upon it except alfal-
IA. which served as a mulch for the
money roots. And the alfalfa was
worth something.
