Is there a single book in the public 
library in your town which gives an ac¬ 
curate picture of farm life or an interest¬ 
ing story of real farm people? 
Many city people form their opinion of 
farmers and farm life from the books they 
read. Therefore, there ought to be at 
least one good book picturing real farm 
life, with its mixture of bright and dark 
sides, in every town or grange library. 
“Hope Farm Notes” is a well-printed 
224-page book, containing 25 interesting 
stories of farm life and country people 
Many consider it the best book of country 
life which has ever been published. 
Ask for this book at your library, and 
if it isn’t there tell them they ought to 
have it. You will enjoy the book your¬ 
self. and it will give those not familiar 
with farm life a better understanding of 
real country people. 
Many people are making a present of 
this book to city friends or to their town, 
grange or school library, and it is always 
considered a welcome gift.
