It Depends Upon Checking the Tend ency of the People to Gather In Congested Centers How the Mail Order System Kills Rural Life. From an editorial article by Gcorgo H. Maxwell lu. Maxwell's Tallsmun tho following pertinent extracts nre taken: There aro many country merchants who see their trade gradually slipping away from them, leaving tho country town and going to the great cities by the channel of the mall order trade. There nre many country editors who see the prosperity of their towns de pleted and circulation and advertising Income- reduced for the same reason. There are very few, however, who realize that their problem Is a national one and that It Is wrapped up In and a part of the great fundamental ques tion whether this nation shall be ppr petuated or sha'l be destroyed by the physical degeneration of humanity, tho social unrest. Industrial discontent, moral and political corruption and class hatred bred .in tho city slums and ten ements and certain to culminate In anarchistic crimes, riotous mobs nnd all destroying social upheavals a tho result of some long continued period of Industrial nnd commercial depres sion. The fact Is that the upbulldtjg of the country town and suburban vil lage as an antidote nnd .safeguard against tho poisonous social, moral, physical and political consequences of herding millions of our working peo ple together In tho unnatural congested llfo of the tenements Is tho ouo great question that rises above all others la importance as a problem that this na tion must solve. Unless It does solve It It will BUlfcr death from human de generacythe fate of so ninny nations and civilisations that have risen in tho past only to bo destroyed. Ours will bo llkowlso destroyed unless wo take heed in time. Tho danger arises from tho conges tion of population In cities and from nothing else. The solution lies in checking the fur ther growth of cities ut the homes of hulusfiial workers and scattering those homcii li.to and among suburban home croft villages and In country town3 and rural settlements. To do that trade and Industry must bo decentralized. Industries of all 'kinds must be established In tho sub urbs of tbe cities or In the towns In stead of In the congested centers. That Is something that requires an organized campaign, but first It requires a cur rent or right thought In tho minds of the people. It renulros that everything should bo done at can bo done to hold In tho existing towns and villages the trado that now naturally centers thare. Any part of It, small or large, that Is di verted to any of the huge central malL order concerns in tho big cities and thereby taken away from the locality vhero It originates and belongs Is an lnfluenco that promotes Just to that extent tho growth of tho evil that Is eating at tho heart of our national life. Yhatever Is needed to supply the needs of every household lu every rural com munity should be sold over the counter of a local store and not through the postofllce and tho mail trade. Then comes tho question of tho growth of towns and villages. There Is where tho country editors and mer chants can help tnemselves. Once get It luto tho minds of tho whole Amer ican people that the salvation of tho nation depends on tho upbuilding ot tho country towns nnd suburban vil lagesgot tho Idea planted and deeply' rooted so it will grow Itself and a thousand Influences will enter tho field and enlist for this great campaign for rural and country town and village development to check the overgrowth of cities, with all its resultant evils. It cannot nil bo done nt once, 'x'ho first thing is to got public thought ac tively aroused and turned Into right chnunels. There must be a eompleto common conception in the minds of millions of people of this new national ideal. Then thero must bo united, con certed nnd vigorous action to realize that Ideal. Tho facts and arguments to support It must bo disseminated through a groat educational campaign, entirely separato nnd npart from poli tics. The Card Advertisement. "Ono excellent way to keep n town'a attractions and advantages before the outside world," remnrked n citizen of a thriving western town, "la tho uso of tho card advertisement. No, I don't mean tho big card In tho street cars carrying display type notices. I am not talking particularly of street car towns anyhow. I menu tho card use4 by somo persons I know, Including my self. It is Just a little smaller than tho business envelopes used, On this card Is printed an epltomo of tho town'B attractions, tho main points be ing brought out boldly. A hnlf tono plcturo of tho business center, If It lends itself well to Illustration, is a good feature. You can uso both sides: of tho card for matter booming your town. Put ono or two of theso cards in overy letter you wrlto. You will bo surprised to learn how ninny Inquiries you will receive in a short time. I consldor this a flno wny to keep a town before tho pooplo outside. If every citizen would do liVowiso tba card advertisement would be a great thing for tho town." w NATIONA i
