The buyers from Baltimore, Jer

The plan seems to be a good one
and doubtless will result In a great
gain in the population OF North
Dakota. But the plan need not be
confined to that State alone. Any
prosperous rural community can bene-
1T itself II its energetic men and wo-
men will help TO spread the gospel Of
country life. Almost every one OF our
readers can think Of some friend or
relative now struggling along in some
town or city who. if transplanted TO
a modest farm, would be healthier.
happier and more prosperous than
they are at present. Let our readers
ny the North Dakota plan. Write to
your friends, tell them what you are
doing and what you mean to do. point
out To them that farming today is no.
what it was 40, 80 or even ten years
ago. Write to your old home town
newspapers and let your old friends
and neighbors know how well you are
getting on. Pass n good thing along
You will be doing your friends a favor

ity.
