The Hopkinsville kentuckian has 'fig-
ured out" that, with land selling AT 800
per acre, one dime will buy a little over
five feet square, and sagely advises "Save
your dimes"
There probably could he no more cogent
argument in saving the dimes than this. II
every person would save his dimes until
he had enough To buy an acreage sufficient
for home, and make the investment, this
