Business called me to Denison terri
tory last week and while there called
at the Review Office. Brother Tucker
OF the farm department of that publica- 1
ton entertained me for about an hour
and handed out some courteous treat
ment that will not soon be FORGOTTEN.
TO one who is not familiar with the
roads there tip by one who knows
them oft saves miles of travel. In Ode
bolt territory there are roads around
nearly all sections and its an easy mat
teritO find people, Not so in some d.
rectiOns from Denison, as some of the
secondary roads branch out from the
main ones like d spider web. and if
you are not careful instead of driving
into John Jones who you wish to see,
you will find yourself in Ole Olson's,i
yard Many thanks, Brother Tucker
