Excerpt from A Lawyer's Life on Two Continents In the closing chapters of this book I have told the tale of our part' in the slow development of a back woods county in the far west of Oregon. Here in the winter months the air is filled with the reverberation of the roll of the great Pacific on the not-distant shore. Our neighbors are, as a rule, small farmers, ranchmen, dairymen and stockmen. Among us are many homesteaders, working hard and long on the clearing of the brush and stumps and logs from their rough acres. The aim of these men's lives is to secure the Government title to the home that they are living to create. That all these men should have the will and courage to subscribe their full share in the quota of our country in the first, second, third, and now the fourth Liberty Loans is to me a revelation of clear patriotism. I know the sacrifices so called for. Money is the least of their possessions hardly earned, and apportioned to the family needs with the strictest economy - for the State and County taxes, and the bills at the little country store, must needs be met: and the surplus is pain fully slender.
