Bob Altman, better known to the
world as Scotch Bob" the Wollow
creek sheep ban has been in town
the past two weeks trying to pun
the wool" over the eyes of some wool
buyer. He has about $4,000 pounds
of the little sleeps donation to mans
comfort in the warehouse. None of
Bob's sheep died last winter. He is a
subscriber to The Tribune. The les
son is evident.
The Board of Trustees have con
tracted for 500 feet of rubber-lined
hose, hose cart and several dozen
buckets as starter for the Caldwell
fire department. The condition OF
the transaction is that the company
take the fve-year eight per cent bonds
of the town of Caldwell in payment
for the supplies. The agent has wired
his company for instructions and we
will know in few weeks whether or
not the deal has been contaminated.

body will believe. He is willing to
make an affidavit to, the effect that
his sheep have never had the scab
since he subscribed for The Tribune.

UN AVVISO SUI
PATRIOTA E. COME SEAHNARR
MEL VOSTRo CAMPO. ESQ
The Port Gibson reveille., 1920-07-08

cepted this modern principle in an ef.
fective way. He bought a quarter
/ page Of space in the hometown paper
to use in telling the people Of the
county, that he had taken his fifteen-
/ year-old son into partnership with
HIM. The announcement told, also.
how many acres the firm was farming
what the main products Of the firm
are, and what nlnns were being made.
In every way it was just the sort
Of announcement that a business man
in town would make when taking a
partner into his concern.
The father then arranged with the
local printer for new stationery. on
the letter-heads Of which appeared
the pictures and names Of the two
partners, the firm name. the farm
name and list Of the main products.
The two partners talk over their
plans together Knowing that his
opinions are seriously considered. the
boy takes big interest in the confer
cnces.
Last winter, the firm decided in one
OF the evenig conferences that new
blood was needed in the pic yard. The
son recalled that the hometown pa-
per that week announced an auction
sale Of pure-bred gifts that offered
the opportunity to acquire the stock
needed by the firm.
On the day Of the sale, the father
handed the firms check book to his
son and sent him as purchasing agent
to the auction sale. use your own
Judgment in buying what we need"
was the fathers parting word
When an uncommonly good gilt was
brought into the ring at the auction
sale, the boy ran the bids up to $3.50
Eventually, this pig sold for $1,000
Though he was disappointed in not
obtaining the gilt he most wanted, the
boy stayed in the game and outbid
his competitors for three other gifts
that looked good to him.
At the conclusion Of the sale, he
wrote check for 5000, signed the
firms name, and drove home with his
purchases.
When neighbors afterward asked
the father if such methods weren't
pretty risky, the senior member Of the
firm replied: Come and look at the
pigs. II you are as good judges Of
pic value as my boy is, you'll saw that
ne made good investment. I'm
mighty well satisfied, myself. Even
if he had made d little mistake in buy.
ing, ! wouldn't have been angry. Pve
made mistakes. So have you. +
know that my boy will make mistakes
sometimes, but you can just bet that
his old dad is going to back him
every time want to grow some-
thing besides forty -bushel wheat and
pure-bred Berkshires and Herefords;
want to develop the best farmer IN
this section Of the state
It is safe to say that the false CLAM
BUR Of city life viii never attract that
boy away from the farm. His pros
poets for a happy, prosperous sue
eessful life are definite. Because Of |
his fathers wise methods, he will be
q real asset to his firm, to his COM
munity and to the nation-The Fur
row.
