TRUEPATR10TISM UncloloHh riilloHojihy in Short Oliaptera Doe i Little Independent Figurine nn tho Homo Trado Proposition Tho following from tho Elk Point S D Courier is not only a woll told story but It points a moral that applies with strong force to Norfolk and vicinity at this time CHAPTER I I dont know as an old Dakota farmer that ulut Beon any more of this muddled up world thnu I hev ought to preoh to his neighbors but Im gol darned if I cau help yolpiu a little jest at prosout Yo boo Ive stuck to it those Boventeou years gouo that a man cnut do botteru to do his plain trndiu to homo whero theres aohauco of buildiu up the town and country round about hlni Ivo got a farm out hore jest six miles from Elk Point Elk Points our noarest town nn wo call it home when we write to friends back east Wall twenty yonrs ago I got this farm Elk Point wareut much to boast on then My farm warout worth much money either Id a had hard work to give it away I calculate until Elk Point began to sprout up Then I was closo enough to a tradiu point bo that it didnt seem so much like being on Sahary desert I remember jest how my farm went up from 3 an acre 4 5 9 12 14 25 nn now Im blowed if Id take 5 an acre for it Whats the reason Why jest because tho home towns a good one the countrys settled up and lifes more worth livin in this vicinity Now I say the wny to push up the value of these farmE of ourn is jest to look after the home interests If Elk Point was twice as big as it is my farm would bo worth more Tho prosperity of them abont me increases tho value of my farm Therefore Im goin to work for my home interests overy time an dont you forgot it CHAPTER II Now theres Tim Brown said Uuole Josh Yesterday he camo over to our place jubilant an he says Josh Hamilton youre a fool Why asks
