About ten years ago farmer put his
initials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to near town and spent it with
a 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 the next time he heard of it
in the pocket of his neighbor.
The last time he got it back he sent it
to mail order house. He never has seen
that dollar since and he never will. That
dollar will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the houses of the COM

circle of usefulness to himself and his
neighbors. Patronize your local mer-
