Mr. W. L. Larkin,
 Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
 Homeseekers are more and more preferring the natural
life of the country to the artificial life of the city. They
prefer to live where the pure air, sunshine and flowers give
rest and happiness and the few acres of garden enough
income from its harvesting.to pay the cost of living and
set aside something for the "rainy day."
 Where can they go and live this life? In the Everglades
of Florida. This is a true home land, which Nature has
created for the home. Climate, soil and picturesqueness
are some of the reasons why the drainage canal is making it a
home land in truth. Merely to see it is to tempt me to
stay and forget the dark side of life.
 Very truly yours,
 DAY ALLEN WILLEY.
