A Word or Two for Our City Friends 
Be Real Producers— Help Reduce 
the High Cost of Living 
Did you ever in your whole life raise anything out of the ground? Have you ever planted a seed, 
tree or bush, watered it, tended it up through infancy to full growth and finally sat down at your 
table to enjoy its fragrance and beauty or to eat its fruit? If not, you haven't had a fair chance, and 
you surely have missed the greatest pleasure God gave to man! 
If you ever have periods of depression or the blufs, as commonly known, get a spade, rake or fork, 
out into your own back yard and dig; plant something, get close to the earth and you'll feel like a 
go 
new man. It's the best tonic in the world.
