Once q farmer had 1900 bushels
OF wheat, which he sold not to o sim
gle grain merchant. but 70 I 800 dif-
ferent dealers, q bushel each. A
few OF them paid him in cash, but
far the greater number said it was
not convenient then; they would
pay later. A few months passed
and the mans bank account ran
low. How is this7" he said.
my 1890 bushels OF grain should
have kept me- in affiuence un-
til another crop is raised. but l have
parted with the grain and have in
stead only o vast number OF accounts,
so small and scattered that cannot
get around and collect fast enough
to pay expenses.
So he posted up q public notice
and asked all those who owed him
TO pay quickly. Butfew came. The
rest said, mine is only a small mat
ter, and l will 60 and paw one oi
these days, for getting that. though
each account was very small. when
all were put together they meant a
large sum 70 the man. Things went
on thus. The man got to feeling
