E FOR ALL AND

The nearer a farm is to,, or the
easier its products can tie spit in,
ijuuu, live, (.iiiiviugi pivgicpa-
,ve town the more profitable that
'arm will be.
1 The more good farms, well
filled, well fenoed, well housed
; veil siloed, surround the town,
i he more prosperous that town
vjll be. A thriving city or town,
vith a busy population, spells
jvofit iof the actual producer.
The interests of the towp and
country are identical. Neither
jCan grow and prosper if he oth
. er is either dead or dying.
The nearer he point of pro
duction the produce of the farm
eftn.be turned fytp cash the lar
ger the percentage of that cash
which reaches the original pro
ducer. On, the other hand, no
town can thriye unless its busi
ness men, its workmen, and jts
ritizens genepaliy have a genuine
jiind abiding interest in, the peo-
vie wno live arpynq tne wwn ana
tributary tQ it,
Every one of them should tyave
l- he closest tprf fif sympathy with
the man who hu chosen agricul-i
ture-'all around farming-as his!
life work.'and wjjo is striving to
make the farm the ideal home.
Such men are the basic asset of
our general prosperity, and hope
of the future'.' He 'shdilld work
with the town dweller, and the
town dweller follow his lead, in
order to get the best things for
which botji of them stand.
Town 'and country" must grow
closer together for the best In
terests of all. The town needs
mqre progressive farmers, - more
than it has now. , The farmers
need more progressive towns
men than are on Southern Vas
co county's map jusf now. They
should be brought closer together
town and country in time, by
the construction of better roads.
Closer together in a spirit' of
neighborlinesB and brotherhood,
by a cjearer conception of how
much each depends upon the oth
er.' Let us preserve the fertility
of the farm and conserve the
commercial growth of the town
robbing neither by shipping it
off. Remembering that while
the circus may take sqme money
ofyt of town the mail order house
takes away more money still
and does fjotfven give flade.
School supplies have arrived
