Mr. Nelms was bov nd raised in

HOW RICH IS AMERICA?
100 LITTLE PIGS.
ALSO VASSAR GIRLS.
WORK AND LIVE. _
How much do you think the
United States is worth, all togeth
er, in thousands of millions of dol
lars ?
According to the Census Bureau,
all the property in the United
States three years ago amounted
to about $320,803,862,000. That
means 320 times or.e thousand mil
lion dollars, with 803 millions to
spare.
It’s a great deal of money, but
you may be sure tiiat it’s much
less than the United States is
worth. Properly developed, the
State of Texas will be worth more
than the total “wealth of the Unit
ed States” as now estimated.
Nobody has the faintest idea
what the real wealth of this coun
try amounts to. In ten years the
total wealth according to the fig
ures above, has increased more
than seventy-two per cent. Give
this nation fifty million more in
habitants, intelligent, willing to
work, and they would raise the val
ue of the nation’s property five
hundred per cent in half a gener
ation. G
A boy sends this information to
the United States Agricultural De
partment. Five years ago, when
he was in the public school, he
bought a pure-bre i pig, female,
eight weeks old. Since then his
pig has added 300 small pigs to
the earth’s porcine population. The
little boy writes paid for
my clothes, three ..ears in high
school and gave ir.e spending mon
ey also. I am now in my second
yt ar in college and she is still,
doing the same.”
T’nis boy has joined the “better
sires—better stock” campaign, and
will work hard to improve the pig
creed. and
If it wore possible to improve
human breed as easily as we im
prove cattle or ewine, civilization
would progress rapidly. Unfortu
nately, eugenists make little prog
ress. But something might be
done. ,
That proud mother of 100 little
pigs in five years never smoked
cigarettes or drank cocktails. And
the father or fathers did not set
before their sons the example of
bootleg law breaking and contempt
for the Constitution.
Dear young ladies of Vassar
College, with beautiful, tall fore
heads, nimble feet and nimble
minds, tell what they think of to
bacco. 433 say they like cigar
ettes, 524 never smoke.
No matter what you may think
of women smoking, how would you
answer this question?
Which will be married first, the
433 girls that smoke cigarettes, or
the 624 that don’t smoke cigar
ettes? And which will make the
best mothers?
Men have spent most of their
time on earth fighting and mur
dering each other. But the real
job of the human race is to fight
against and conquer Nature.
Every canal dug, desert irrigat
ed, swamp drained, is a victory in
the really important war.
Canada is growing rapidly. Up
there they welcome gcod immi
grants. Here we discourage im
migration.
What is more important even
than immigration is human happi
ness and Independence. Canadians
attend to that.O In Canada 92 per
cent of farmers own their own
farms. In the United States, only
62 per cent own their land, the
others are tenants paying rent.
The nations in which those that
cultivate the land own the land on
which they live grow in strength.
The power of France is due large
ly to the fact that Frenchmen own
their land. That small country has
more than six million land owners,
a great improvement on the days
of monarchyj when a handful of
nobles, ecclesiastics and royal prin
ces were the land owners.

I quit, I’d die/ he says, apd he’ll

hasn’t got as firm a hold on them
as it has on him.
