That was beans enough to make soup
all summer, but Rice wasn't figuring
on liquid diet, and insted of cook
ing the beans took them home and
planted them with his corn. The
other day he came to Madison with
eight bushels of beans and on inquiry
found that they were worth $500 a
bushel, in other words that he had
$72 worth of beans as a result of an
original investment of $2.OO. OF
course he didn't kick-merely cashed
in and kept still. Some bean story.
