True Measure Of Civilization.

Iwarn my countrymen that the great
recent progress made in city life is not q
full measure of our civilization; for our
civilization rests at bottom on the
wholesomsness, the attractiveness and
the com pleteness, as well as the pros
perity, Of life 10 the country. The men
and women on the farms stand for what
is fundamentally best and most needed
in our American life. Upon the devel-
opment of country life rests ultimately
our ability, by methods requiring the
highest intelligence, to continue to feed
and clothe the hungry nation; to supply
the city with fresh blood, clean bodies,
and clear brains that can endure the
terrific strain of modern life; We need
