STAR—FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918. PAGE 8 Superintendent Reed Asks— at Are YOU Getting Out of By H. B. REED, Superintendent Aldert ood Manor ‘Demonstration Farm. HAT does Life mean to you; what are you getting out of it? What are you living and working for? These questions are not asked thoughtlessly, nor is this a sermon. But I rant to set you thinking. The man who thinks now is the man who can shape own future. What I say here is just as personal as if you, my neighbor, my friend, had ght me out for a little visit and advice. ’ Do you want to work for some one else all your days, for little more than a bare existence, and leave your children a legacy of more hard work? If you have never considered leaving the hard, soul-wearing grind of daily employ- nent, begin to think seriously of what a little land and liberty would do for for your wife, and for the kiddies that glory in the sunshine and the open fir, the flowers and the garden. To put off considering this question is to hold you back that much longer m SUCCESS. What does Alderwood Manor mean? A visit re will open your eyes. It is a place where indreds of Seattle people are planning to have beautiful, self-supporting homes, with already there. It is a place where there are © tenants or landlords, but where every man jwns his own land. And land is something real, something sub- ial. It is the foundation of health and wealth—a fundamental necessity. There is no healthier place in the world than wood Manor, 400 feet above sea level, wept by the sea breezes that bring a ruddy glow jthe cheek and a vigor of body that makes life forth living. Hear the call of Alderwood or; it is the call of the land that has been ‘Finging through the ages; louder and.more in- si t now than ever, because of the whole orid’s cry for food! Your government, my government; your esident, my president, are pleading with you ‘all to become producers of food. During the "past thirty days, two poultry experts sent out by federal government have come to Seattle to ‘advise you to go into poultry raising: ITKNOPM that poultry pays. Starting from practically nothing, in four years I built up an income of $3,000 a year and blished my own plant, worth $10,000. As head of the Alderwood Demonstration Farm, with the most complete facilities ever rovided, I can show you how to do that well— or better. : Let me explain to you how the $2-a-year- profit hen can be produced in any numbers you wish; see the electric incubators that have © hatched 50,000 baby White Leghorn chicks this spring—chicks from the finest stock in the AS PS SF a ie $ ¢ Sor he world, all the mother birds having records of 200 to 300 eggs a year. Poultry raising is the one form of agriculture that has been completely standardized—and that has been accomplished by the State of Washington Agnicultural Department, whose plan we follow. But there are many forms of agriculture to follow with profit—growing the filbert nut, the new fig tree that is especially adapted to this cli- mate, intensive gardening, and many others. The experts of the Alderwood Manor Demon- stration Farm show you how to take every step on the road to SUCCESS. You have plenty of work right now, at good wages—but how about the future? e Remember, Alderwood Manor is right with- in the city’s gateway, reached by fine electric cars on the Everett Interurban, or over the mag- nificent North Trunk boulevard, only 45 min- utes from the heart of the city. Come to the Puget Mill Company's city of- fice, in the Walker building, Second Avenue at University Street, where arrangements have been made to bring you out, either by interur- ban or automobile, without any expense to you. Let me show you and your friends this wonder- ful demonstration farm. I am particularly anx- ious that women should see, for they really make the best poultry raisers; they have made the hen America’s national bird. Come with an open mind, prepared to inves- tigate and determine for yourself. You will be surprised how easy it is to become the proud owner and possessor of a country home that will make you as independent ast has made me and hundreds of others whom you will be able to meet.
