One of our Willow Valley livestock
dealers met with an experience re-
Gently which is really amusing. The
stockman was talking to prospec-
tive seller who had cows to sell and
who is quite deaf The buyer sail
to the farmer, ''I'll give you $50 for
those two CATTLE" The farmer did
not hear the offer and he looked err
nestly at the buyer and said in de-
cisive tone, " / want you to under
stand that I'm a man of one price.
I'll take $45 for those two animals
and not a cent less" AS soon as the
buyer could recover from his sur
prise he leafed off the required SUM
of "long green" and the deal was
closed to the satisfaction of the far
mer and to the delight Of the dealer
who Unexpectedly was S. to the good.
