"Don't Let The Rain Fall On Baby's Nose If The Sod Roof Leaks"
Student In Correspondence Course Tells How Our Fathers Used To Save
They Did Real Hooverizing
A Little Cornmeal In Your Flour
Isn't Anything To
Kick About
"So you're objecting because Hoover has put corralme in your white four, are you? You're complaining that times are not what they once were?" You're angry because your husband's salary won't buy as many luxuries as he does, dear medium, what you need is a good big dose of Kansas forty years ago.
"Let's pretend you are rubbing Aladdin's lamp and wishing for the happy times of the dear long ago.
"Ah, we are we. Came like lightning, didn't it? A tremendous change of scene, don't you think? Broad rolling prairies, covered with tall grass or corn that's been shrived by the hot winds. Won't be much of a corn crop this year. Never mind, you can buy corn for ten cents a bushel—and if you want eggs before buying chickens, they are only three or four cents a dozen. Of course you'll want to keep three or four cows and a flock of hens, because the butter and egg money will have to pay for all the clothes that you and the children will wear.
"You'll have to be desperately saving, but it's amazing how far a few cents will go when buying calico. You can make all the family underwear out of flour sacks, you know. Of course, the children won't need more than one school dress apiece. You should be sure to come home from school in the afternoon, and iron them early next morning.
"Most of the time you'll have to use corn bread, and you will put sugar on the table only when company comes.
"Ha, here's a dandy sod house, better than the usual run. It'll be a splendid place for your family. Perhaps you wonder how those sod walls hold together. I'd better tell you how such houses are made.
"Being inexperienced, madam, you need some advice. Don't let vermin get started in your sod house, because
"The pioneer goes out and plows up the virgin soil in long ribbons about eighteen inches wide and several inches thick. Then, with his spade he cuts the ribbons in pieces and piles them high to build the walls of his house, much as bricks are laid. The grass roots hold them together. Across the top he lays split logs for a roof, and over all he places more sod. If he's prosperous he plasters the inside, but often it is a rough job, and the rain sends streaks of brown mud down the walls.

"Where am I to put all my family in that small house? you ask.
"Why, bigger families than yours have lived in just such houses.
"What's that? You won't live in this house?"
"Why, why,—well, all right, but it's too bad. There's only one vacant house left, and it's a dugout. Let's find it at once.
"Here it is. Walk right in. It's rather dark, but you'll be safe from cyclones.
