"ADS" SAY CENTRAL AMERICA

Country To South Will Not Be Ready For North American
For Many Years, Says Writer

TO buy farms i'm Central America.
These people find IL impossible TO
live there After becoming sick OF
fever they give up all and return
home.
The very best place in the wide
world for man with family and
only little money. is the dear old
United States.
II all the booklet says is true. why
this disappointment? you ask !
will tell you.
The colonization company does
not tell you the whole story II
does not say your neighbors will be
ignorant and vile Indians with
whom you cannot associate
II fails 10 mention that no
schools exist excepting in the cities.
Although your farm" may be only
a few miles from some prominent
city, the PROSPECTUS does not say
that you can reach IT only after a
days ride on muleback.
The booklet shows only pictures
OF this Central America city. near
which IL offers you suburban
farm. Remember. however, that
photographs do not show the
smells.
or course, such booklets say
nothing about the snakes, alliga-
tors. scorpions and the ten million
different insects that inhabit these
lands Nothing IS mentioned about
/ the mosquito which surrounds you
in focks as soon as night falls.
or what does happiness consist ?
\ study OF nations and races con
I vinces me that 10 be happy one
must have at least three things:
+ health, friends and freedom.
or course. we must have some
money; but the money Is Of no use
I unless II brings these three things.
No sane man would today leave
the United States to secure health
in Central America.
For the North Americans OF to-
day to mix &c real friends with the
Latin Americans IS almost an i'm.
possibility
As for freedom. You would have

There is newspaper publisher
| In this country who has climbed
from a small country-town paper 10
the ownership and editorship OF a
great city daily. He is the leader
of thought in his state. lie Is n
political idealist. an enthusiast
In talking with him one gets that
impression OF vital interest in mod
ern thought. II is ones first impress
sion. The next is that he rs a mar
vel OF accurate business thinking.
For instance;
He has figured out the cost Of
every item that enters into the max
ing OF his big newspaper. He knows
that every agate line OF his paper
costs i've cents TO produce-with its
present circulation. White paper for
his edition when the paper Is l6
pages costs so much; each two
pages added means q known definite
increase of cost. He knows exactly
the cost OF the ink used on each
edition.
In the conduct OF his paper he
takes pains TO let every man who
works for him know that IL 10 lines
OF space is wasted or filed with I'M
important material 90 cents is
squandered. Spoiled sheets are G
waste. and his pressmen know ex-
actly what carelessness costs.
In talking with this man found
that he knew the cost OF living. For
a good while, he said. this cost was
In excess of his income-it ran as
high as $1,000 a week above income.
But because he knew what the cost
was. and could demonstrate 10 his
financial hackers that expenditures
were made In order TO build up the
paper in the future, there was no
panic, no retreating from its policy.
Now the paper is probably max
ing more than $1,000 a week; the
publisher has paid of his debts. He
has kept himself free from the fear
full nervous strain which comes
when one sees that he Is spending
more than he earns but doesn't
know how or why.
II is the only sane basis for right
living and for building up your
ideals OF life and service. No one
is going to carry you financially
very long in order TO hear you de-
liver your message to the world. II
you think you have something TO
say to me that is worth while, your
FIRST duty Is TO devise way OF
saying II that will bring you at least
the cost Of delivering your message.
In the same way the family must
be self-reliant. And the first step
In attaining independence is to find
out exactly what il costs TO live.
