Business and Speculation

While it may be true that the man
who risks nothing gains nothing, 1t is
also true that gain does not depend on
risk alone. In all business there is
an element Of risk, but In business

Summer reached its crest, and the

was a good fruit season, for the rains
had been plentiful, and had come at
the right time. The rich, purple ber-

little finger grew in prodigal profu-

beneath their weight.
Fortunately for Long Portage the
crop was IA failure elsewhere, and the
berries brought IL good price in De

camp in the more extensive patches.
Others drove forth and back, morning
and evening in their cars, the tonneau

were found on bumpy side roads. trap
