Gone Forever.

Ten years ago an Allen Coun.
ty, Kas., farmer put his initials
on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and
spent it with a merchant. Be
fore 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 pockets OF
his neighbors.
The last time he got it back
five years ago. He sent it to a
mail order house. He has never
seen that dollar since, nor never
will. That dollar and never pay
any more school Or road tax for
him, will never build nor bright
en- any of the homes of the com
munity. He sent it entirely out
Of the circle of usefulness to
himself and neighbOrs.
The above is impressed very
forcibly upon our mind when we
read a note from home mer-
chant written on aWay-from-
home printed stationery. The
dollars he paid for it will not re-
turn to him again nor will his
business be pushed or his affairs
be noted by these nonresident
printers.
