w have a great country" said Presi-

miles before me, but the pleasure have
had the last $500 makes me think that /
shall live to get through the rest. In Utah
they nearly killed me with kindness, but
that Is the sort of death that l am willing
to suffer.
when we consider this great homo
genous country, 1t impresses one that It is
greater to be an American than to belong
TO any other nation. Wherever you go you
find the same people, the same ideals, the
same prosperity, the same determination to
ovrcome obstacles and the same loyalty
and fidelity to the flag. This includes not
only the east, not only the middle west,
no tonly the far west, but also the south
and every other corner OF the country
