covers the ground. Looking around the earth I selected one to take 

 me up like a little boj and place me in the house. He placed a brand 

 of tire down liefore me and a cigarette also. Lighting the cigarette 

 he puffed smoke toward the east in a great white arch. The shadow 

 of the arch crept across the earth l)eneath. A grassy carpet covers 

 the earth. Scattering seed, he caused the corn with the large stalk, 

 large leaf, full tassel, good ears to grow and ripen. Then he took it 

 and stored it away. As the sun's rays extend to the plants, so our 

 thoughts reached out to the time when we would enjoy the life-giving 

 corn. With gladness we cooked and ate the corn and, free from 

 hunger and want, were happy. Your worthy sons and daughters, 

 knowing notiiing of the starvation periods, have been happy. The 

 old men and the old women will have their lives prolonged yet day 

 after day by the possession of corn. 



People nuist unite in desiring rain. If it rains their land shall be 

 as a garden, and they will not be as poor as they have been.
