Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tials on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent 1t
with merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard Of it in the pocket OF his neigh
bors.
The last time he got 1t back four
years ago. He sent 1t to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him. will never build or
brighten any of the homes OF the com,
munity. He sent 1t entirely out OF
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
