Save SOMETHING, matter how little. And as you

URUGUAY is the smallest OF
all the small South American
countries and for some reason
we rarely hear of 1t. Perhaps
one of the reasons is the fact
that it Is an agricultural coun-
try, quietly and contentedly rails

porting them to the rest OF the
world.
1t is one of the wealthiest of
the small republics of South
America. Throughout the length
and breadth of the $4,000 miles
there scarcely Is any barren
land. The deserts, mountainous
regions and unfertile stretches of
it's neighbors are unknown in this
little land. Everywhere you go
you find the cattle and sheep
grazing on fertile land. There Is
no country that Is more favored
by Providence for the raising of
livestock.
The capital of this country Is
Montevideo, which is city or
perhaps 200 900 inhabitants. 1t is
