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.
