his own home garden would bring
Florida or n California to his door and
then the white man could live there
all the months of the year.
Foolish man Where would he get
his culture from travel? The di,cip-
iine of patience from five nights In
sleeping car, or the pleasure OF gag
ging over the rail of an ocean liner
for six days and nights. During these
tying hours. vistas of "Iiotne, sweet
Home" may come to him. but he has
that inward satisfaction (?l that he is
.'evoluting" to higher plane, AMI
that after these suiferings are over he
can walk among his envious neigh
bors at home, knowing that he has
bfeu abroad.

But then every new country has its
hindrances that will be overcome in
time. remember in the early '90s at
ordway we were not happy all the
time. The bugs would chew up my
potatoe vines, and sometimes II was
too dry for us. Eternal vigilance is
the price.
Three miles to the north is the home
of our Congreg ationai minister who
has starved through the year on $500
from his little flock annually fJr the
last five years, while his 20 acres of
citrous fruits have been maturing
last week sold 81 500 worth of fruits
the results of only two acres. In two
or thsps years more his whole orchard
will bs bearing, and then his growing
family of siz children can have ths
Advantages Of the city and college and
and his brave little wife, who left
friends aud social advantages of the
CITY and game into these pine woods
to fight mosquitoes and make home,

It's all right to drink evaporated
baby food for milk and spread your

Ordway five years ago instead of Flo
rida, he would have had farm, nov
all paid for with sugar beets, or canta

willing to drink the cup How thu
tropical sun must have beamed on hia
back when he was bent over setting
out tomato plants and egg plants OF
hoeing out the weeds and half ths
time his hopes are blasted by lAnu
AIRY frost.
