BE A Booster For Your Town
And Country.

Mary had little farm
Away down in Tennessee.
Every time she saw the farm
She was happy as she could be.
She kept the land until one day
The country settled up;
And where wilderness had been
There grew humping crop.
Then Mary rented out her land
She would not sell you know
And waited patiently about
For prices still to grow
They grew, population came
And Mary, raised the rent
With common food and raiment now
She could not be content
She built her up mansion fine
Had brio a-brac galore.
And every time the prices rose
She raised the rent some more.
What makes the land, keep Mary so?
The starving people cry;
Why Mary keeps the land you know,
The wealthy would reply.
And each one of you might be
Wealthy, refined and wise
If you had only bought some land
And held it for the rise,
Now to be healthy, wealthy and wise
Just listen to Mary and me
For next winter when the snow flies
We will be down in Tennessee,
ELI JONES, Marion Indiana.
