Just What He Meant
"Your toys are very pretty, but the
prices are too high," objected the cus
tomer.
"Why, look at that drum for $6.48.
You can’t beat it at the price,” pro
tested the dealer.
“1 believe that is what I intimated
iu my remark," said the customer.
Why wouldn’t a movement to utilize
some of the many acres of corn stalks
that go to waste every year for pa
per pulp, instead of devastating the
iorests, be in line with the movement
for the conservation of our natural re
sources? Without a doubt, in years
to come we will see every pound of
plant tissue noi made use of for feed
I on the farm go to a paper mill.
