Farm for an Automobile.

William N. Guilford, a farmer of Spencer, Mass., recently decided to yield to the entreaties of his good housekeeper, Mrs. Mabel Thompson, for an automobile. Cash was scarce, but the young man's acres broad, so he advertised he would sell his fine farm to purchase a motor car. The overseers of the poor, however, had a different idea of it. They felt that if Guilford were permitted to dispose of his property for such a purpose, he would become a charge on the county. Therefore they applied for a guardian for him. The conservator appointed by the court decided to let the sale of the property go on, but the proceeds were not spent for an automobile.
