one taste of an orange, just one glass of milk for their breakfast, and they don't get it and they don't know why they don't get it; and it isn't their fault or a thing that they can help while they're little. By George, we ought all to be trying to do something to help them get it."

When you get an Indian to give up his unproductive island for a shingle mill that will cover the roofs of ten thousand homes!"
