Picture Meant for White House
"This picture can be seen to best asa-
vantage from a distance OF TWENTY-FIVE
feet" said MIR. Roe, "and there Is q
building in Washington in which all
An orleans have an interest in which we
hope it will be displayed after March A.
In accepting Senator Harding said:
Since this most pleasant gift comes
from you I am going to leave it to you
70 decide where it is to be exhibited"
When the applause ended he contin-
ued: ~ congratulate you as fellow
countrymen that in America, where we
are less than a hundred years old in
our development, we are now having,
with agricultural progress, time, inter-
est and concern for the development of
art, which adds to the refinement and
enjoyment of practical life.
Il want to go one step further. I
want to find not only art encouraged
and developed in the general progress
OF every community throughout the ma
ton, but want to reach that stage of
mutuality of interest and common ad-
vancement where there is just as much
art on the American farm and among
the American wage earners as there is
IN the more fortunate or better COM
pensated of our people,"
turning to Mrs. Harding, who stood
near by, Senator Harding said "This
is the artist in our family" and the
INTRODUCTION was acknowledged with
more cheers.
Visit Farm Boys Camp
From the art exhibit the Senator
and his party were taken to the farm
boys camp, where lads who have shown
special aptitude for agriculture or
animal husbandry in contests are being
given snort course in scientific farm.

The best product of the American
farm is leadership of the citizenship
OF America. The best crop in America
consists Of the farm boys and the farm
girls OF this country. / don't care
where you go, whether it is in the
large cities of the Northwest or the
Stlll larger cities of the more populous
East, there the farm boys are having
snelr great say about the trend of hu-
man. activities which lead to the tri-
umphs we all so much rejoice in.
Says Opportunity Still Beckons
- Don't let anybody ever tell you that
the American farm is poor place to
begin. 1t is the best place in the
worla to begin. Don't let anybody ever
tell you thao there is not an equal
