An Eminent citizen.

The colonel was getting ready to
start a land boom in a certain district
in North Dakota, and one day he drove
over to the town OF Cakes to enlist the
services OF a citizen. At n grocery,
where he halted to get his bearings, he
said to the man behind the counter:
Can you tell me the name OF the
landing man Of your town."
ooh, yes" was the ready reply.
His name Is Bates
Hes at the top, Is he?"
"Clear to the top"
"And what he says goes?"

have confidence In him"

methods are Of "a very questionable
