thOrity you can count on"
Here. just duplicate that order for
me. win you? I'm a bit too Old to join
the boys club. but I'm joining by
proxy. Joe is representing himself and
me. too laughed Mr.. Somerville. I'm
really very much Interested
AS Joe and MIR. SOmerville went
down the street the merchant stepped
into a bookstore.
Lets go in here and get started. |
see the first thing on the list is a
book for a beginner. That sounds
sensible, like it was a start from the
bottom. Wen get TWO copies. You
take yours home. and III study mine
here
Cant start any too soon for me"
answered Joe.
We'll, here's the books. Now you
come to town next Saturday and spend
the day with me. and well compare
notes on what we've read. When you
go home have your father point out the
four acres we are going to cultivate.
Don't matter whether it is poor or not. y
I'D rather he'd give Us the poorest,
meanest land there is on the place. |
don't want him coming around after
ward saying We had any advantage on
the land" said Joe.
That's right. the poorer the land the
bigger our demonstration viii be. Get
it laid OF, and anything that suggests
itself TO you. why, i,et go ahead and
do it. I'm going to I've you a check
book. and when you need to spend
any money write out a check for it and
sign it Weston n Somerville.' l will
instruct the bank TO pay it,
"All right. sir. but 1 am not going to
spend anything | can possibly help"
Now. let me tell you something right
here; don't ever be afraid TO spend
money if 1t is going to pay you to do
so. II you can see where a dollar
brings a return spend it quick. The
thing to do Is to spend wisely-that is
investment"
Wei | think the first thing | want.
then. is enough hog wire fencing for
those four acres. Seems to me I've
never done anything much except chase
hogs out Of our fields"
you are starting right. Joe. That's
good sense. I'll send the wire out
Thursday ANA a main to stretch it and
put it up. You get the posts ready"
"All right. sir"
And after You get the fence up go
ahead now and use your judgment as
to what next 10 do. from what you get
out of the book Well here's my bug
gy. The driver viii take you home
Good night. partner
lie shook hands cordially and vanish
ed into the store. Joe. his precious
book held tightly in his lap. was soon
whirled home behind the Somerville
%trotter and made up his mind that some
day he was going to have a horse and
buggy exactly like that when he got
to making money farming.
