"a DIAMOND STORE FOR A GENERATION"
Going About In The
Country Among
The Farmers

One always sees or hears something
often useful or amusing, if you
haven't your best Sunday clothes on

the nice old people feel at home
with Dad" as she called him, and
talk to you.
That little boy over there in the
barnyard feeding the chickens, the
mother, one morning as she leaned
over the garden fence, pointed out
and said: There's Billie feeding
the chickens. He tends 'em all his
self and has to shell the corn for
'em. T'other morning he was she'll
ing away as usual when his little
weak fingers got little tired and he
called me, "Mommy come, here's
one can't shell; the corn is too
stuck on itself"
That's just what's the matter with
some stores and some people and
they do not know it-just stuck on
itself"
The old wheels which were under
the stores, little and big, and made
them go, ran out or grew tired. and
without any OF the old wheels the
stores have to run on the old mo-
mentum and regulations. each being
stuck on itself.
