The F ifth Declam atory Contest of the Coqullle public schools was held a* Hall last evening with the usual large attendance. Each one o f the participant* ac quitted herself or him self creditably and their efforts showed careful prap- Givsn at the home o f M rs^pr. Rich mond Friday evening, May 18, was a party in honor o f the M. E. choir. A f ter a very pleasant evening spent in playing games, dainty refreshments VALUES Second Story. The Rolling Dollar U y In the same p a n e with a 960 yellow b ack. “ Speaking 0f children,” said that buay piece o f money, "w hy don’t people look ahead a little? Thfey think they are giving their boye and giria a fo o d start in life, when as a m atter o f fa ct they are handicapping them heavily. “ You and I know what it means fo r young people to make a start in the city. We know how many m ore good chances th e n a n at home— or ought to be. Yet lots o f folks, thinking they a n saving money, tear down their county town instead o f building it up, by buying everything possible from the catalog houses. “ When the children grow up they must stay on the farm or go to the city, fo r no town can grow and offer opportunities to a young man unless its merchants a n patronised. And few boys, seeing how dose the sher iff is after the business men o f his own town, win stay th e n while the distant d ty attracts them .. “The good people have forced their beys and girls into the fearful grind o f the d ty by their own short sightedness. The home town goes downhill, while the mail order houses get rich.” “ Farm values a n always higher i f th e n is a good live town in the county," responded the |60 yellowback. “ When the* farm er sells out and retires he can get a stiff price because h t sells location as well as land. W hy, farm land around Centerville here—-w hen folks kiep their money working right around in a circle so that, it gets back to them— is worth a quarter m o n than around Marsh dale, w h en the land is ju st as good. But the Marshdale country has the order bug. “ It Is human n atu n to want a good town to come to once in a while, and we^are all willing to pay fo r a live town’s advantages. The people in the Marshdale district send all their money to Chicago and the other mail order centers. Consequently their land is worth less money.* They haven’t figured yet that no terri tory, drained o f its cash constantly by a city which buys nothing from it in return, can offer any induce ments to investors dr newcomers. “ A good local market is worth money to the owner o f farm land, and you can’t have a good market i f there is no live town. “ Some people think the local furniture dealer, the clothier, the grocer and the hardware man are robbing them because there are but one or tw o stores o f that kind in the town. That is one excuse for mail order buying. * “ Here is proof to the contrary: City people are not a bit sm arter than country folks, and they fall fo r the catalog with the pretty pictures ju st the same. Why, I heard that Omaha sends $260,000 a year to one eastern house that has a fascinating scheme fo r selling soap. Now Omaha has a lot o f good stores, big ones, and com petition is so keen that “ robbery” is impossi ble. People there have some other excuse for ‘buying a" pig in s poke’ I suppose, and they get trapped the same w ay." Copyright, 1914. WOman’s Study Club.
