12 or 14 years ago he had a neigh-
bor who was just getting a "second
start" after the drouth of 1896-97. He
had a fair crop of wheat, but had no
granary. Wheat was selling at 35
cents a bushel. Will Adams said to
him. "1 have a granary that you can
use, and it wont cost you a cent.
Put your wheat in it, and before the
spring you can get 60 cents per bush-
el for it." His offer was accepted.
The neighbor got 75 cents per buah-
el for his wheat. With the proceeds
he bought another farm. Today this

civil war was the scene of a battle
which bears its name. Upon this f.irrtiY
which is yet in the family name, his
father had settled in 1833, whither Tie
had come from North Carolina to
make a home In a then sparsely inhab-
ited country.
A lot of the drudgery incident to
converting a forest into a farm had
been borne by the father and oldur
brothers before William was born, or
when he was too small to help. But
to "clear" a big farm in the Ozark re-
gion before the advent of stump pull-
ers and the like was a task that re-
quired years to perform, and before
the boy was ten years old. he found
that his axe and mattock were in big
demand.
And those days were days of few
conveniences. The nearest poatoffice
now Patosi, was 35 miles away; the
naerest trading 'point was St. Louis, «,
hundred miles. The school houses
were made of logs and the seats of
the same material. They were eight
or ten miles apart, and the schooll
term was two or three months.
Their religious services consisted of
a camp meeting every fall, just be-
fore corn shucking time. Such con-
ditions are man-makers. Under such
circumstances one learns to think
and do for himself. History teaches
that those who have- had the fewest
opportunities make the most ot
them.
During the war the family home,
the barns and the granaries with all
they contained, were burned; the
stock was driven away or killed. The
ing a bonded position in Guthrie got
short in funds befonging to the com-
| pany. He had been gambling and.
: drinking a little. Ten years before
he had been a farm laborer on the
Adams farm. In his dilemma,.he went
to Adams, and the boy got a check
for 1150 and held his job.
There's nothing short about this
fellow Adamsfi except his stature
But he is conservative and economi-
cal. What he has is the result of
honest labor and careful saving. He
has donated for every railroad that
has come to Guthrie since the Santa
Fe, and he has 'paid hia donations—
