that would make things easier at home,
but 1t did not; they only went from
bad to worse.
Before | was fifteen ! tried to take
my life twice, and am sorry to say l
failed, My sister could do anything
she pleased and 1t was all right. In
the evening she went to the movies,
stayed in and did all the work OF
the household, l never complained, for

from her would send cold chllls all

Yet | would not have rehelled eve

ly. and often when | cried from pain

II have worked very hard since

a very good position; but there is no
future to t., and | would like to better
myself If | could. | went to night
school all last year and studied hard,

that helps me a lot.

COMING SOUTH

Farmers and cattle raisers from the North and NORTHWEST
are growing tired of the SHOWS. billiards. and severe winters OF
their section, and are looking Southwark for a more salubrlouS
and a less rigorous climate, and the indications are that many
will come South, and the lower Mississippi valley oliers a most
inviting field. Here is an abundance OF rich land, indigenous
grasses and fertile soil. In ancient times the valley OF the Me-
was the then known worlds granary, and the Valey OIL "e N"N
contains only 1000 square miles of cutlVable soil
The Mississippi valley, between Cairo and the passes, con-
tains 2o,5O0 square miles, equal in richness and salubrity OF CHI
mate, besides an abundance OF valuable timber so much needed at
this time to rebuild the war-wasted countries of the world. lhou-
sands with their flocks and herds and farming machinery, and
their energy developed in a country where the conditions OF
life are much harder, will soon be coming this way. Here they
will find ample room for their activities, and rich rewards Tor
their efforts. At home they are IN a continuous hallo-'o-hana
struggle with nature. Here nature assists and encourages
Instead of blowing around through snowdrittS and shiver1ng
in the cold. if not housed and fed, their cattle will find here rich
pastures all the year round, and the need for shelter, if any, lasts
When the timber is removed and the land put in cultivation
crops Of any kind can be raised, with less labor and expense
than in a colder and less ~hosptable climate.
The Mississippi valley is destined to become the worlds
granarv. and it must be developed, because the world needs the
food, and the war has made the world much smaller and brought
countries that are not self-supporung closer to us. Very few
countries OF Europe can raise enough food for their own people,
and they will look to us, as the starving millions are looking to
us now.
Corn and wine ships are coming to us daily clamoring for
our surplus food to keep their people from starving, and while
the wheat fields OF the Northwest and the corn fields Of the
Middle West will continue to do much, the great Mississippi
valley will be called upon to do its magnificent part. This it
can do, if only given half a chance. The opportunity is great,
and our landed resources are practically inexhaustible, and as
this valley has been neglected and overlooked, while other sec
tons OF the country have been exploited and filled up, the time
is now at hand for the tide Of soH-tlers and home-seekers to
turn this way. This is the land of promise, and soon to be
the land of fufillment.
