On thai half million acres the planters did no land clearing, fencing, plowing, hoeing fighting weeds, and grass, and no drainage. Irrigating or fertilising. Now tmlle! Quite different to dad's loll cropi on tre old farm Isn't It? Sounds Ilk a "fish atory ." However, it'a an "oytr tory" tnd I true. The oysters on that half million acre Into a-money crop whethej the plantar wr at hm ar absent aa ' a vacation, ar evta wtea theae plaat ere remained la their atere. eke ; afield oa other business or another nub Now mile again er horselaugh, it yoa eheeee.

At vou read the government's e tlmated nroflt from cultivated oys ters, It sounds almost too good to be true And to the president of this as sociation when h wa unlnformtd as to facts, It also teemaa to mm, al most too good to be true. But the minimum estimate of "two for one' as aforesaid, is by the United States government, and not by the president of this association. Therefor, you can not blam th president any mor trin you ean blam yourlf but for these profit that "almost sound tdV good to b true." Yes, aeemingly It ound to good t be true; but neither you nor the nreialdent of this association can help how good It sounds. No business man can doubt faots.

Friendship I almot a (acrid thing, and all ot ua are given to aeek the advice of a friend or an acquaintance In making an invettmtnt and In to do ing, torn ot ut nav mau tne great eit mistakes of our llvet rttultlng In much lost of monty.

A will meaning man ono aiktd a friend' advlo on buying a shirt in tht Henry Ford automobile taotorr Th friend' bonett advice watt Mt might bt all right, but you had bttttr hold to your monty." Th gentleman HELD tn hi FEW dollar, a advised, and LOST THOUSANDS Simply took a friend advlc and lost. Once, a widow, th mothtr or ix children, aald to a banker friend; "My husband left mi a tew dollars, but not enough for our tupport. 1 desire to Inveit THE WIDOW '.-4 MITE' In tome ihtrei tn the Ren Telephone. What I your advice? Bitter keep your FEW oonars in tne bank," replied th banker, "you are getting 4 per cent Intereit, and a 'bird ta the hand Ii worth two in the huih." The widow took the silly, but honett banker friend's advice, but left her children untdutated, and dltd a poor washwoman. Had ihe trusted her OWN bttter Judgment, ihe 'would have been wealthy. Just took a friend's advice, and lott. Ainu it a ilmilar can one happened regarding the purchatt ot touit iharta ln Btar-Robuck and Company, Blmp- lv took a f nana I advice ana lost.

THESE iiAMlii frleadt would GLADLT repay tho owner of the "wlldwood" tvtry cent invttted PLUS tin tlmei tht original amount paid for tht property. It pays to uie your OWN Judgment Instead of leaking advice from friends or ac quaintance! UNLESS yojt are ipend Ing YOUR FRIEND'S MONEY. Tho ONLY conceivable ixcuse for askmK a friends advice la WHEN you are using HIS or HER MONEY" In a cer tain purciase of HM)0 acres of land, the president of tha Oyster Growers' Co-operative Association wat advised by a sincere friend: 'Do not make this Investment, better save j .ur money. ' Detplte the friend's advu c. the property was purchased and paid for, and Is worth today, perhaps. I'ji more on the acr than the purchase price. Had the Investor taken his frlend't advice on thli ONE dial, bis lost would probsbly have been 00.000 and would this friend have "made good" this loss? No, no.

Even your POOR Judgment, doe NOT mak hi advic WISE Your friend will ad vis but If you take his advice and thereby lose, he will NOT pay you Ih LOSS occasioned by his silly sdvlce. Unlets you are Investing your friend's OWN money, nr UNLEfW he WILL AGREB to PAY YOUR LOSS (If your neighbor makes good in taking one of th lhares which you would hav taken), do NOT b WEAK enough to "turn down an In- veetment" on a friend' advice or even tne ad He of your acquaintance.
