DEDICATION
Here at Prairie Farmer-WLS we enter the year 1942 with a deep feeling of gratitude for America, for the homes, families, institutions, freedoms it stands for. It is the second year of our second century, eighteeth for WLS.
Storms may rage over the world, self-seeking conquerors rise and fall, but the ties that bind us together as fellow citizens in honor, sincerity, and an idealism of service, will stand every stress. This is our faith.
Greatest of all the forces that changed this middle west from a wind-swept wilderness to its present beauty and prosperity, has been the fellowship of neighborliness. That same mutual respect for each other's rights, and honest desire to help each other, will lead America forward to her great destiny. Whenm the wold is willing, that same force can deliver it from unhappiness and destruction.
Again to you our neighbors, to whom has been intrusted the great secret of happiness and progress, protectors of the American way, we dedicate this book.Acquisition
