Neighbors: The biggest hearted
American, Will Rogers, loved by
all, went to the top, daily preach
ing his favorite prayer: "I never
met a man I did not like.” I have
had happy times at living and
working In some large cities,
since I struck out from “Boy-
ville.” around the turn of the
century, with nothing in this
wide world, but a smile, good
health and love for this native
land. I always loved life so well
that I'm sure I’d be happy even
floating down the Amazon on a
raft and quite busy a-dodglng
even alligators and head-hunters:
when I die. 1 hope some sweet
voice will sing: "In the Gloam
ing” and read David’s twenty-
third Psalm and I want some
good neighbor to write for me
this epitaph: "Gone—Lived 140
years." But no one can live that
long happily and worthwhile,
without good neighbors and real
trlends; often, I think, if I could
plan my life all over again. I’d
shape my work, so that 1 could
1 ve and work In some nice little
friendly city, with a name some
what like “Springdale” or “Pleas-
antvllle,” with a lot of genuine
neighbors and friends—and. may
be, try to buy an interest In the
local paper, the most important
and constructive business of all
toward the building of any com
munity. For. many a time, cooped
up in a large city, without handy
relatives, friends and neighbors,
I have felt like a lowly ant, or
much like singing out over the
roof-tops that little verse, so oft
en played by the famous Jack
Teagarden’s blues band, from
