Money makes money.

Money makes money.
When intelligently invested and
directed.
The country is full of money-the
sinews of enterprise, the implement
of ambition, for those who want to
do things.
The man with intelligence, energy
and persistence can do things with
out money, but give him the aid of
money and he will double the re-
suits.
What can he invest in to make a
success? A thousand and one things,
perhaps, with nerve, determination
and qualification TO aid him in care
full, steady, protracted effort along
almost any given line of endeavor.
There Is no royal road to wealth,
or success.
Get rich quick schemes are irrides-
cent dreams, and leave nothing but
vain regrets.
While the element of chance may
enter into all human enterprise to a
greater or less degree, the part OF
wisdom is to seek that investment
which will reduce this chance to the
minimum and give satisfaction in
something worthwhile achieved.
He who makes one blade of grass
grow where none grew before is a
benefactor of the human race"
Shall we chase hither and yon
seeking Alladin's lamp? 1t is a use
less and needless waste of time and
energy, and each mans stock is linn
tied.
Opportunity is at each mans ell
bow. He but needs nerve to. act,
and staying qualities to play the
game through to successful finish.
Success in life, in greater or less de-
gree, is largiy encompsased in one
word perseverance.
While each Individual may ever
follow the line of effort best suited
to his tastes there is vet one broad
field of operation that any and all
may engage in or invest in-the
farm.
Land investment is the nearest to
absolute safety that man can find.
so long as it is the destiny of the hui
man race to increase in numbers.
To open up and improve farm is
doing something worth while, and
usually pays its owner handsome
profit in productions and raise in
value
That this general statement is true
may be attested by the experience
of many men on the prairies of Hand
county, but as it would be mainly
repetition we will cite but one case:
Lewis Swab 1i2-6S
Mr. Swab is pioneer. He came
to Hand county in the early eighties
with his two hands and whatever
qualifications Divine Providence had
given him that was all He went
to work with a will, and soon bought
quarter of land in st. Lawrence
twp. He has now gathered in by
hard work and thrift $40 acres of
land, upon which he has a splendid
farm home, with all necessary i'm
provements including an artesian
well. His farm is worth now at least
$4,000 per acre $4,000. His stock
and other personal property would
very likely add $5, 900 to this, or a
total of S24 200.
One year ago Mr. Swab bought his
last quarter for SIS per acre. This
year he got $l400.00 worth of flax
off this quarter. And he borrow
ed the S2400.00 to pay for it. His
total farming operations for 1907
brought HIM over $4,000. .00 cash, and
one day last week he paid off the
mortgage given for the purchase
money on his last quarter.
In other words, Mr. Swab has rails
ed family and is today worth $25,-
600, all made right on farm in
Hand county. ;.
And many others are doing the
same thing.
A good farm, directed with intel
ligence and erergy, is the best invest
men man ever made.
