TOM BLODGETT, fARMERI
 AND ADVERTISER

Just to De one 5 own natural self is great thing it is great because 1t is so easy and simple. While you are wondering what kind of a mix ture Tom Blodgett is, because you have read some of his ad stories, I am just going ahead Saving wood" and living just like any other human does and enjoying it all.
 Mrs. Tom and have a good many hearty laughs when ] tell her the mystery that enshrouds her amiable husband. Just an over-grown coun- try boy-with mountain of faith in folks and real estate, that's all
 1 was raised on farm and liked it and am a farmer yet, and, of course, 1 do not claim that l spend every day in the field with pair of lines over my shoulders. It keeps me too busy with lines in the newspaper and l had to turn the harness lines over to one of the hands.
 That don't make me bit better than'he is, I get homesick often times to get out in the field and smell the fresh dirt rolling up behind the blow, get up a good sweat and lay down flat on the ground and take a good drink out of the spring.
 The only real life, after all, is the farm, and even if you have to live in town and be an industrial slave, you ought to have a farm where you can run out and put on some old clothes and loosen up your hide and forget the telephone, the click of typewrit- CTS and the jar of the noisy streets.
 The time is coming when we will all do that every thing-that is if we don't wait until land gets so high we cannot afford to buy it.
 The reason I want you to buy a house or a farm is because l know the joy of it, and l want to make my business add to the happiness and success of the community as well as help pay my grocery bills.
 1 actually enjoy helping folks buy a place or selling one for them, and it makes no difference if it is lot worth $50.00 or a plantation worth a half million, or tract of timber. l have clients who are in the market
 and l can put the deal over if it is
 worth the money.
 If you have some idle money can recommend good places where you can loan it on good land or real es- tate security, and it will help you and the man that borrows it, and be safe and sound, and you will get your in
 terest and the money when due. Some of my old hens had scaley legs and l soaked their feet in coal oil, and it cured them-and when one old hen was squalling could not help
 but think of some men 1 know that have stood around and knocked so long that they have scales on their legs and need soaking in coal oil. Your hens won't lay if you let the mites eat them up and if you don't know how to get rid of them I'll tell you. Pust call me up.
 If you let the mites of procrastina- tion get on you and keep putting it off, you will pay for half dozen
 houses in rent and won't have roost of your own either. Call me up and Ill tell you how to get roost of your own, either town or in the coun- try, and elsewhere in this paper you TOM BLODGETT'S BUSY CORNER. If you want to build house of your own, let us help you find a good lot and you build, and get out l of the way of someone else that needs | the house you are living in.
 The office is full now and some
 have places to sell and some want to
 buy and my twin cylinder Ford is rar- ing to go and I will ring off.
 The Citizens Bank building is | built around my office. The door num-
 Der is room 5l0, and Jones, the phone
 man, has wire that runs from your 1 place to mine that you can talk to me over, and day times call 2515-af- ter supper use 705, and I will an
 swer you in my carpet slippers-and
 if you call too late may not even have them on, but I'll talk to you just 1 tho Snna
