Ten years ago a farmer put
his initials on a dollar bill. The
next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with mer-
chant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar bill back J..
-Four times in six years the dol
lar came back to him for pro
duce, and three times he heard
of it in the pockets of his neigh
bors. The last time he got it
back was four years ago. He
sent it to n retail mail order
house. He has never seen that
dollar since, nor never will.
That dollar will never pay any
more school or road tax fol
him, will not build or brighter
any of the homes of the com
munity. He sent it entirely on
of the circles of usefulness tC
himself aud his neighbors.
