AS these words left his mouth,
Billy Jr. made a plunge for him
and, landing in the yard clear over
his head, ran off and disappeared
behind some freight cars.

came from good home and he was
wondering why he had no home. He
came to an old house and he went

And John said, ut is John.
The voice said, Come in"
John went in and he looked
around and saw no one and he
looked up on the door. There was
a cat and it had a tail as long as a
broom stick and had eyes as big as
saucers.
John said, MAY stay all night"
And the cat said, wait till my
master comes"
John sat down and another
knock was heard. and voice said,

The cat said, Come in" And in

another cat.

this The use of motor trucks with | the farmer may be said therefore, to i farmer is learning to think in terms | of road mileage. When he ceases to think of transportation wholly in serms of horse power and can com regardless of the power used, then the sale of motor trucks will be greatly increased. Farmers within a radius of 25 or l 30 miles of South St Paul are turi:- 1 ing more and more to the use of i trucks for delivering their stock to market. Roads leading into South St. | Paul in all directions are now being used by hundreds of farmers, large l and small, some of them coming from as far asw the Lake Minnetonka dis | trict while others come from the sec l ton near Northfietd, and still others | from Washington, Hakota and Ram | sey counties.
 i The development of the truck has l brought on a new phase of orchard | ing. The rapid transportation of | large loads increased the business fla i cilities in cities and made profitable i locations that had for centuries been l considered impossible. The same is | true of the country. Land that was | good in all ways. but too far from the | railroad has now taken an added value, and greater areas can be de- i voted to the production of agricul l turaf crops. Particularly is this so
 
 1 such as fruits. The crop that has the l largest monetary value may be grown | at profit at a greater distance from +Ioo Shinnin~ nointS than those of low l value, provided the perishable crop l Ca pc =ot to the railroad at a reas- i enable figure. Good roads and2 the | truck virtually put all farms within reach of the market
 The fruit grower who has haul | to the loading station cannot consider the question of affording to have a truck; the real problem is that he 1 cannot afford to be without one. The l truck has become a part of the equip | ment of all large and progressive or 1 chardS; it is as necessary as the horse
 and wagon used to be. and, a mat

History relates that Croesus was
given entertainment on one occasion
by Lydian named Pythius, supposed
to have been a distant relative of
Croesus. During the entertainment
Pythius Informed the king that when
he heard of his approach he had made
careful count of all his ready money
that he had on hand in gold and sill
yer, $24,OOO,OOO, and that he wished
to present it to the king as token
of regard.s
The king hesitated about taking his
money lest Pythius might be reduced
to want, but Pythius replied: MY
lands, estates, slaves and income-bear-
ing property are still untouched"
This sum of money was simply cash
on hand which he had not yet invest

purchasing power, Pythius had ready
money equaling $24O,O00,O00.
