But the trading centers became cities, And @ city ts an abnormality where less than half the people are in any sens® producers, and the larger half leads & parasitica! existence. Then, when “hard times” come money and jobs become scarce, and life is out of joint for us for @ lit tle while, There has come to my hand a pean of Joy, tempered with sadness, from one who has put into execu tion a thought I am only firtin, with.

She is C5 }sad because she is lonely for neigh Too many of us tn the cities; too few in the country. Read her letter—and ponder: | Dear Star: The other day I read jone of your editorials about an Your American was born in cannot resist the! you of another home. For seven years we lived in the City of Roses, Hubby was a street car man and well until the house-shortage began. We were told to move. For two weoks we walked the streets but! could find nothing to suit our pocketbook, With two small chil dren and winter coming we were In @ sorry plight. THEY WERE LUCKY; HAD TEN ACRES Lacklly, we had 10 acres of most ly uneleared land in the’ wilderness of Washington, and that seemed our only resort. So away we moved That first @inter was the woret I/ ever experienced. We camped in a} bachelor’s shack and could see noth- ing but mud and rein, It was @ dreary old world. Then my husband bought an old |house that had been empty ‘for tore it down and moved the timbers two and a half miles to our place, We cleared a site. There we built our home. A coat of paint made the old timbers look new. How proud we were. It was all our own and no landiady NEIGHBORS It i nm backward neighborhood | where we live, We walk three miles to the nearest posteffice and We «et The Star once a but then we get a whole ile of them, and we surely do at night, Our little girl walks two miles to school, but she goes, rain or shine, and thinks it fun. When she gets home at night her cheeks are aa red as red apples. I only wish there were other) young families willing to do as we! have done, but it ls lonely some- times and we need neighbors, Here are ever so many uncleared acres of land. It is a beautiful country, but it needs pioneers to make tt a country of homes. We have never regretted that we moved te God's country, and if I could se my old landiady now I would thank her for driving us out of the city. We are happy tn the thought that | something for coming | we are dol generations and that we will some day be independent. We still have a lot of hardships, but it is. doing us good. When we first came here we puffed like steam engines when superb player-pianos. cheery with music.
