In the old country he planted his back

in the old country he planted his bach
lot to an onion patch.
The crop was good and of fine fla
vor, and when the neighbors had sam
pied it they insisted upon buying all
he would sell them.
Which set Maulenhaus thinking.
Last year he rented for small sum
a couple of vacant blocks not far from
his cottage and planted the entire plot
with the little white pickle onions,
And during the summer Mr. Maulen-
haus and his wife and son put in as
much odd time as they could spare in
tending the onions.
About the LIST of September the
onions were harvested, and the Maui
lenhaus family realized from those
choice pickle onions the sum Of $1,000
Which was a fine object lesson in
intensive farming" about which so
much is. being said
Also q fine object lesson in grasping
opportunity.
While some of the Maulenhaus
neighbors were spending their money
in the corner saloon and deploring the
fact that 81 man has no chance in
this country" the Maulenhaus family
was hoeing onions.
There was other unoecupied ground
ia the neighborhood, but it grew up to
weeds for tie weed gang to cut down.
Here was opportunity. And onion
