TWO ACRES -A COMPETENCE 

 WITH CONTENTMENT 



IF success is measured by the amount of gold 

 one accumulates Miles Turner was successful. 

 He had made considerable money in business. 

 But as "the seekers after fundamental truths" 

 are continually reaffirming — and as experience has 

 taught many of us — money does not always buy 

 contentment and Turner was far from being con- 

 tented. He was one of those unfortunates who 

 always are on deck with a spy-glass looking for 

 trouble. And the worst of his troubles were those 

 that never came to pass. 



So Turner concluded, and with good judgment, 

 that "back to Nature" was the life for him. There 

 he would be rid of the worrying responsibilities of 

 "doing business"; he would be rid of the never- 

 ending daily grind at the desk; and he would 

 exchange the nerve-racking existence in the over- 

 populated city for the quiet and peace that comes 

 with the glories of life in the country. 



"If I am to find contentment anywhere", Turner 

 figured, "it will be in the big out-doors".
