"Then Dad and I picked out three small farms that were going cheap because of labor shortage, and when our boys come home each one will be presented with an income-earning piece of property. These farms cost us an average of $12,000 apiece; all three are somewhat rundown now, but in good farm neighborhoods and capable of real productiveness. Our payments on them come to a little more than $3,600 a year--they are already half cleared. "This means that we live simply and cheaply. But we love it; the crampedness and dullness, the sacrificing and self-denial. We're living for the time when the boys come home, to take possession of their fafms. We're living for the time when we can tell them that with two good tenants upstairs, and with our own earnings and savings, we needn't ever turn to them for help. They can marry, raise children, enjoy for long years the peace and freedom that they've helped win for us all.
