A farmer went to bank to get his
note renewed, and the banker asked
if his implements were out in the
weather. After being told they were,
he was informed to go home and house
his farm machinery and then come in
and renew his paper. If some farmers
knew their own business as well as
some bankers do theirs, there would be
fewer implements rusting out in the
elements.

NOT here on Chri-tmas day and tina
she arrived here at 10 O'Clock ON the
