Author Description

Excerpt from The Rube's Day Is Forward to the Farm, Why Not? This is the life! May be said of the country as well as of the city, where the lights do burn brighter and longer, but not always with such good results as in more rural communities. How about it? Maybe you've had such an idea of the, quiet life while you were catching your breath between bouts with the Hun? Maybe you thought perhaps some day back home you would like to be boss of a tidy farm? Yes, there is always something attractive about the country and the life there - maybe you would like to think it over now? In order to help you, some. Very interesting facts and figures have been gathered within the pages of this little book, prepared under the direction of Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the Secretary of War. Its purpose is not to make you feel that farming is the only life in the world; it merely is written to lay before you the pleasant and profitable side of life and work'in the country - hard work, you had better believe, but work that will bring its own reward if you persist in it.
