Rulers Of the Earth

The real rulers of the earth
are the land owners. Dirt is
man safest investment.
A tired man, hguratively
chained to an office desk or a
work bench or store counter
and yearning for the great out
door freedom that people had
before the coming of eff
cheney" must have sighed en-
viously if he caught this little
news item:
William Ingram Of England,
sues New Yorker for balance
of $500 due on the purchase
of the island of Little Tobago
in the West Indies. The New
Yorker claims the Englishman
told him there were 900 birds
of-paradise on Little Tobago.
The buyer figured on selling
these birds of gorgeous plumage
to millionaires whose estates
they were to ornament. Instead,
he says, he found only II of
the birds.
The thing that will interest
the reader most is that the en-
tire island, a tropical paradise in
the wonderful climate of the
West Indies, sold for only $l0,-
600.
Imagine being able to buy
such a place.
There YOU would be king.
The lure of the South Seas
is not the hula dancers nor the
weird wailing of ukulele and
steel guitar. What fascinates
people is the idea of the free
dom from worry and work sup
posed to be an inevitable ac-
companiment of island life.
Here is Little Tobago, for in
stance, selling for $4,000.
There must be thousands of
such islands. 1t is a marvel that
people do not save their money,
buy these little kingdoms and go
there to live-far from the in
come tax, politicians. traffic
regulations, city stenches, nasty
dispositions of nerve-wracked
people, and the other discom-
forts of civilization"
How d you like to round up
your friends and their families,
buy an island and flee for good
from the maddening crowd?
Radio and newspapers and
magazines would keep you in
touch with most of the things
you'd miss.
1t is impossible for any man
to be monarch of all he sur
veys." The closest approach is
to own a strip of land. There
is no greater pleasure than the
realization that definite section
of the earth belongs to you, even
if encumbered by a mortgage.
Few Of us can escape the sys-
tenn and live on tropical is
lands. But we all can own a
house and lot in our home town
or small patch of ground with
a shack and garden out in the
country where a COW, few
chicks and freedom await those
who desire quiet and content
ment.
