     A farmer living near a famous health springs decided to turn a large barn on his premises into a garage because of the many autoists motoring to the springs. 
     He started the first week charging one dollar for storing autos.  The receipts were not very large, so he decided to raise the price to two dollars.
     One day the farmer was standing in front of his house when a Ford automobile came sailing down the road at full speed.  The farmer ran out in the middle of the road and began waiving his arms frantically, and shouted, "Two dollars, two dollars, two dollars!"
    The driver slowed down and replied to the farmer, "It's yours for two dollars."
