neglect to use our own creative in

Before any betterment can be ex-
pected we must come to realize that We
do occupy an inferior place in this
sphere Of culture We must forget
that in many things We lead the old
world, and this is the hardest thing
for US to do.

The publication in the News Of

sand acres of grain, but crops Of oil
kinds, which lie below the several
canals, whose source Of supply is the
