HUNGER MOVES THE WORLD.
Inventors, Authors and Toilers ii
Other Fields Actuated by
Same Motive.

An inventor of an important mech
anism was asked one day how he hap
pened to think of the thing. He said
he was hungry.
The author of one of the most
charming novels ever written was
asked how he happened to write it
He said he was hungry.
A man was toiling in the field
gathering the sheaves into little heaps,
preparing for the thrasher. He was
asked why he worked in the broiling
sun. He said he was hungry.
None of the men was literally
hungry at the time. All Of them had
been fed properly for the time being.
None of them would have persisted
had they not performed the tasks they
worked at, perhaps. But all Of them
gave correct answers, Hunger moves
the world.
While many of the worlds greatest
inventions were not perfected with a
view to getting something to eat,
while many Of the most notable writ
ings of the world have been by men
who were not thinking of food, nor
of the lack Of it, the fact remains that
the bread question is at the bottom OF
all progress, 1t cannot be ignored
at any time.
Our ancestors came to this country
to make their homes because they
were hungry. They chopped down the
forests and cultivated the land and
built their factories to obtain bread.
They believed they could secure more
bread. or secure it easier, on this side
of the ocean than upon the side where
they were born. They fought in the
revolutionary war because they we're
hungry-or felt that they would be-
come hungry if compelled to live sub
servient to an old world ruler. Pa
triotism itself is based upon bread
and the desire to enjoy food in COM
fort and free from the disturbance of

For US to simply attempt to please conhdng pub

To attempt to simply "pIease" without trying to

to deny those who favor us with their patronage
