You know it is true, if you know which “side of your bread is but- tered.” /1 was born in @ village and-not on a farm, but I was “bread and but- tered” on'the farm. And these thir- [ ty years I have been in professional life and not a farmer, I know where my living has come from. Governor Hoch’s little story that once went the rounds, strikes the right spot with the farmer: One time a mer: chant put up.a blackboard in his store and asked his customers to write their names on it and opposite tell what they were doing for hu, manity. A lawyer wrote, ‘I plead for all.” A doctor wrote, “I prescribe for all.” A preacher wrote, “I pray all.,” An old farmer walked up, wrote his name, scratched his head awhile, and wrote, “I pay for all.” Yes; I believe in the farmer, The foundation of all true wealth is tak- on from the soil. The cultivation of the soil is the oldest of all occupa- time, that “there will be land for sale when you are old and gray.” There will, doubtless, but, land val- ues are advancin" rapidly and it will not ‘be long until it will be here && it is in some Oriental countries, the man who owns ehough land to build a house on will be eongidered rieh; the man who does mot own land, will be a peasant.” We had as well face the fact, we are facing a & ation similar to that of many foreign lands. We have betome land im- | poverished through our foolish gen- erosity. Today by the merer fact of his arrival every immigrant increas- es the value of the land in the United States by $500. Every mnew bhorn bdbe has the same effect wpon land values. The editor of ~the Minneapelis Dally, recently gave this timely and wholesome advice: “Land is the Iy permanent property. It you want a safe investment, buy land, “Stocks and bonds may melt away like water—which they possibly are. Money in your ‘pocket dribbles out through a hundred holes. Jewels are lost or shrunk in value by clever im- itations. And as for savings in the stock or banks, it is of little avail to hoard up money when, year by year, more and more value 18 squeezed out of the dollar. “Money goes down as prices go up. The gold mines of the” world aré pouring their Dbullion into the mints by scores #f millions a year. More money means cheaper money, just as more potatoes means cheaper potatoes. Your hosrded dollar shrinks in purchasing power even while you look at it; it buys less and less of the things of real value for which men and women toll. “Save your money if you can spare anything from the nifvoul expen- 8es of # decent livelihood; and then, if you want your savings fo work for you—buy land.

When gray hairs appear it 18 & sign that Nature needs assist- ance. It is Nature’s call for help. Gm hair, dull, lifeless hajr, or hair that is falling out, is not necessar- 11y & sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of hailr wmmnt s sin- gle streak of gray. 3 When gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless or dead, |some good, reliable hair-restoring tions, and ‘the first return of physi- |increasing, and the yalue of avatl-! o tmant should be resortéd to at cal exertion ‘in the emdeavor to sus- tain human life was derived from its cultivation.
