CITY AND RURAL RELATIONS i T h e I n t e r e s t s o f A ll S o I n t e r w o v e n t h a t E v e r y p e r s o n P r o f i t s by L o y a lty to th e C o m m n n i t y as a W h o l e — S o m e T h o u g h ts W o rth y o f C o n s id e ra tio n . The sim ple barbarism of prim itive man made each individual almost wholly independent of his fellows, ex cept as they m ight have to unite for defense against attack from a common enemy. Modern society represents an entirely d iffe ren t condition. Indepen dence has been succeeded by indepen dence. The complex conditions of modern life make the individual more and more dependent on his fellow men. This increases th e necessity for clear e r recognition of the benefits that each derives from all. The things w ithout which life in the country in these enlightened days would be a dreary existence roads, schools, churches, libraries, electric cars, tele phones, rural free delivery, and every thing th a t combines to make up the social life especially in the sm aller cities, towns and villages w ithin reach of farm homes, cannot be enjoyed un less the community co-operates to cre ate and m aintain them. Hence th e community as a whole, in so far as its relations to all these things are necessary for enjoym ent, as a community is concerned, m ust be treated as one entire and individual social organism . A nything th a t in creases its stren g th and w ealth and the number of people composing it, increases in a like degree its power to serve th e w ants and needs of all as a community. Consequently everything th a t can be done by every member of th e commun ity to promote its general prosperity and healthy grow th and im provem ent should be done from a purely selfish standpoint, if from no other. Each member of necessity participates in th e increased property values, in creased prosperity and general w ealth and increased social and educational advantages. This is tru e of the dwel lers in the adjacent country, on the farm s, ju st as much as of those living in the m idst of the town th a t is the center of social activity for th e entire section. T he sp irit of co-operation and m utual helpfulness for the com mon benefit in which all m ust partici pate should include the farm ers as well as the town dwellers. The isolation and deadly monotony of th e old farm life has filled th e insane asylum s and driven countless thousands of young men and women aw ay from home to failure and a life of unhappiness and dissapointm ent in the cities. These terrib le draw backs to farm life have b ien done away w ith in any modern ru ra l community by uniting the farm s and town into one loyal whole as a community co-operating for th e w elfare of all. The telephone, the ru ra l free delivery, the consolidated school, good roads and neighbors and th e entire social life of the town w here the fa r m er should trade are the new influ ences to make farm life the happiest life in,th e world. But to enjoy these benefits the farm er m ust be one of the community, and in exact proportion th a t all who comprise it co-operate stro n g er and weld it to g eth er more closely and keep its accum ulated capi ta l and its trade a t home ju s t to th a t ex ten t will each enjoy the increased benefits resulting from such a policy of loyalty to th e home community. All should work together for the im provem ent of the schools, the estab lishm ent of libraries, halls and churches, th e im provm ent of roads, th e establishm ent of new industries and increased .prosperity of those al ready established, and everything th a t human activity can do to m ake a bet te r environm ent for a fully rounded out ‘com plete and happy human life.

Mrs. Cook, wife of th e pole explorer, declares she never had an y dou bt t h a t her h u sb a n d would reach the north pole, an d when she leard t h a t C om m a n d e r P e a ry also had been to th e top of th e world she exp ressed herself as being very glad.

He Is of Little Consequence and Is a B arrier to Progress. It is not an easy thing for a man to s e p a r a te him self from th e thought and activ ity an d purpose of th e com. unity in which he lives and to pursu e an isolated, disconnected an d selfish part. H e c a n 't do it, Indeed, an d If he tries it he will only reduce him self to a cipher or stu m b lin g block. T he com m unity will get ou som ehow, for it m ust, but if it has many members of this kind it will lie dull, heavy and uuprogressive. Man in isolation is of little conse quence. next to nothing. H is associa | tion with others, th e inspiration lie re ceives from others, d r a w out his own powers. "T h e slate," to this day. as P lato conceived it. rem ain s "a pro duct of mind." O ut of the action an d inter action of c u rr e n ts of mind, affected an d even directed by v a ria n t views or opinions, comes th e whole progress of man, of society, of the h u m an race. We w an t w h a t Burke described as " t h a t action an d counteraction which in tlie n atu ra l and political world, from the reciprocal stru g g le of d is co rd an t powers, d r a w out th e h arm ony of th e universe.” T he most Isolated man cannot sep a rate him self from th e situation he lives In. If such Isolation w ere general or could be general It would la- th e n eg a tion of civilization. -P o rtlan d Orego nian. SUBMARINE RIVERS. Cold W ate r C urrents Flowing Along the Deep Sea Bottom.
