JohnHinemon and Joe Lyons cer

little Japs make our America
farmers look like amateurs. Recen
statistics show that every squar
mile of the Japanese empire tha

the tilled fields of Arkansas woul
support nearly one-fifth of all th
people in the United States.

That is true, yet no one* knows in
what remote and lonely farm
houses or in what squalid city ten

children who will guide the des

hence. The era of the log cabin is
past, but the country is still the
land of unlimited opportunity.
