q Elko, Provo Pueblo, Denver, Omaha,
Chicago, st: Joseph, Muskegon, Lud-
iington, Walhalla, zig-zag across to
down to Detroit, through Flint and

sor and over the Canadian peninsula
, to Buffalo, east to Batavia, north to
Rochester back to Cayhuenga cast to

ington. The walker then strobe
Through Virginia by way of Richmond,
south through Raleigh to Florence to
Kingstree, and west to Manning.
The objects of his hike are to study
economic conditions, to analyze hu-
man nature in it's various complex
phases for a book, the name Of which
he is not sure of, to scout for movie
actors, Of whom he has found but
five so far with the necessary poten-
tialities to qualify them to become
thoroughly satisfactory portrayors of
human nature. "The people who make
real actors are usually born not made

already. planted, all one has to do is
make it grow. Thus it is with hu-
man being, one must first possess the
soil Of soul, the seeds of mentality, to
be cultivated by proper direction and
sprinkled with encouragement. The
easiest ones to do this with are those
who are willing to obey, combined
with proper inside material"
In general his book will deal with
adventure told most likely in fiction
form, combined with narrative and ex-
position, to make it more interesting.

of hardship, perplexities, and un-

conditions. I believe i have found q
cure for the boil weevil worm-if that
is all there is to worry about. There
are several methods, never before

people know about it. T am going to
make a careful study of this pest, of
which knew nothing before my walk
South. I think I have solution
already at hand which will cost the
farmer but little and save him much.
My analysis will probably come out
in small pamphlet, or may be will
tell you folks about it in different
way"
"The aim in my hike is to study for
the help Of my fellow being, anything,
therefor that I can do, in that direc-
ton, will be my aim"
Greenleaf has had contact with adj
ventures of various kinds. Such
things as rattlesnakes, toads, bear,
lions and wolves were of not uncom-
mon occurrence. "Of these the toad
! was most annoying-peculiar as this
may sound. A rattlesnake is man
enough to let you alone provided he
is not molested which is fair enough
it seems to me, bear will not annoy
you if let alone, lion will at least
fight on common grounds, wolves are
treachcrous yet towards, but deliver
me from the toad. He is too friendly.
