fact of the case is that it is
mighty hard o find a country
that will’ produte 'with great-
er regularity and abundance

Once more, and
See if things had
Changed any.. Well;
When I got there
Nearly everybody
Was there in their
Place, and * ■ • •
A Teller says:
“They’s room up
In the choir”. Now
I been hearing
That old gag about'
Room Up Ahead
EveV since I entered
My first street car,
And every time
I hear that line it gets
My goat
Because generally,
If not every time, it’s
Some guy
That aint got
Very far up
The ladder of fame
That hands it out to
You and tells you
What General Grant
Or somebody-------------
Was doing at your
Age,’
And then looks at you
Like he’s done you
A . favor.

Renting land has proven the
downfall financially of not on-
ly the landlord, but the renter
as well. Very few, if any,
renters put the same- effort
into farming land and con-
serving its qualities as he will
put into the care of his own
land. The land owner there-
fore stands a ipuch better op-
portunity* to^succeed than the
renter. Every year the rent-
er realizes what should have
been done last year. The
owner sees this year what will
he heneficial for the land next
year and succeeding years—
and does those things. The
result is that he is continually
building up. and continually
reaping the benefit of his past
efforts. What is the moral?
Buy yourself a farm, if you
are a fariper. Go in debt to
get you a piece, of land that
you can take the proper care
of, preventing washing of the
soil arid cFTstiributing-tthc riat-
ural fertilizer to the best ad-
vantage. You can . own your
own farm and do much bet-
ter. And you c’An do as Well
.in Favette Countv, and in the
Flatonia territory as you can
do anywhere.'
