poets, No country has ever reached
a high state OF development without
passing through depressing periods.
Take the states OF Illinois, Kansas
and Nebraska, they have all had
their rise and fall in values, periods
OF depression ald like periods OF
prosperity. each having their influ-
ence on values, and causing discon-
tent and also contentment. and sat
isfaction, but following each period
OF depression, prices have gone high
err than ever before and as usual the
men who hold TO their possessions
through the trying times, caused by
drouths or monetary panics, have
been the ones who have been the
winners. and took down the profits
of rises in values. following such pc
RODS OF depression. the old adage
proving true the rolling stone gath

All new countries have practically

find ourselves the losers every time,
for If we sell during drouth and de-
pressed conditions, we do so at n
sacrifice and therefore when we
reach the place blessed with good
crops we as naturally find prices in
flated and have to pay them so as
result, we lose at both ends of the
! line. and the man who sells out
during good flush times and good
seasons and fine crops, gets the high
est price and then wisely invests In

catch the point? Last year Central
Texas made n failure in feed. Did
they all leave? No they did not, but
on the contrary, they remained for
