EVERYBODY WANTS A GOOD
TOWN.
Towns and communities have per
sonalities and individual characters
just the same as do tile citizens of
which they are made up. In fact the
character of a community is precisely
determined by the character of its
citizens. Hence when a citizen finds
something wrong with his community
and wishes to complain about it he
may criticize himself. The community
has no existence independently of the
citizens or which it is composed.Every
delect In it If pursued to its ulti
mate source will lead right up to the
iront doors of Its citizens.
Talk about "kicking oneself," that
is exactly what a citizen does when
he "knocks" his town and commun
ity. The pity is that the "kick-in'.'
and "knocking" are not actual In
stead or metaphorical. '
There is nobody so stUDid as not to
prefer a good town to a bad town or
no town at all. But there are manv
people who do not know, or at anv
rate they do not seem to care, what
they must do to make their town a
good town; and they do not seem to
realize that by a little knockine of
one Kind or another a town's citizens
can kill it almost beyond resuscita
tion.
Let any man ask himself what
makes a town and he is bou nrl tn
answer, "Trade business!" Take
away the trade of a town and vnn
take away the life of the town itself
the air it breathes, the food it con
sumes. The avenues of trade are to
the town and community exactly
what the blood vessels are to the
human body. On every hand are ex
amples to illustrate the importance
of trade in the life of communitips
and the life of the nation itself.
.The retail store as a way station in
tile channels of trade is an indisnena-
able factor in perpetrating the com
mercial are of a community. With
the desthuction of the commercial
life of the central town or citv of a
community all other forms of social
me must cease to exist because thev
all depend upon commerce and trade.
For this reason the citizen needs the
town fully as much as the town needs
the citizen. Let him not suppose-that
in the few packages he carries home
from the local store are contained
all the things. he receives for the
money he passes over-th
the local merchants. Substantially all
me comiorts and conveniences of
modern civilized society are passed
out to him in return for his patron
izing his home merchants. The sur
est way to deorive himself nf til nan
facilities and environments that make
nre worth living is to withdraw his
patronage from the local town.
By Peter Radford.
Those who till the soil are the
chosen people of God.
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows,
NO Civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who
thinks more of his barn than he does
of his home.
The development of the farmer
himself must precede the full devel
opment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the far
mer's work is that everything he
piants is a lesson in faith.
1 The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his np.idihnr
his great business is to get ahead of
himself, i
We must give to the DeoDle whn
live on the farm the same education
al advantages for their children as
those of the cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an a;ency of
much potentiality because the rural
life movement is religious aj well as
industrial and social.
There should be a social a-d an in
dustrial survey of every community.
the pastor, the teacher and the
school and the church offijials are
they who should take such a survey.
In a recent survey of a community
in New England, the average annual
income of 154 farmers who had a
common school education was $229,
while the averaee net innnmo nt 199
farmers of the same locality with a
high school education was $482 an
nually. This was worth to each far
mer who possessed it $253 each year.

You young men. or mlddlo mrd
men, or old men had best take note
or the signs of the times, and make
up your minds to the fact that in
this day and generation it is your
drink or your job. You may com
promise with your conscience, or
laugh at the oracular temperance
orator, but you cannot fool the man
with your job in his hand. Nor can
you sign a truce with the growing
ostracism that separates success
from the man who habitually crooks
his elbow. Atlanta Constitution.
According to Ray Stannard Baker
in an article just published, the Uni
ted States government -spends 63
cents of every dollar it collects for
waf. Of the 37 cents left from each
dollar after taking out the cost of
war 5 cents, the next largest single
sum goes for improving rivers and
harbors. Four cents goes for the en
couragement of agriculture and for
estry, 3 cents for building the Pana
ma Canal, 1 cents for care of the
Indians, 1 cent for maintaining the
United States Congress, half a cent
for assisting the laboring classes,
and the rest for miscellaneous expenses.
Not to Blame.
"What shall we do, John," said the
farmer's wife, who had retained
much of her sentiment through 25
years of married life, "what shall we
do to celebrate our silver wedding,
"Reckon up where all the silver's
gone to in bringing up our family,"
grumbled he.
"Oh, no, John, it must be some
thing real good and out of the ordin
ary. I tell you what. Let us kill the
fattest pig and give a banquet."
"Maria," said the husband solemn
ly. "I don't see how the unfortunate
animat'is to be blamed for what hap
pened 25 years ago." Atlanta Jour

A Grave
Injustice
Do those who advocate the
absolute prohibition of the
manufacture and Bale of all
alcoholic liquors realize the
seriousness of the social and
economic crisis that would
be precipitated by such legis
lation? Are they aware of the
fact that the heads of families
aggregating probably not less
than three million people
would suddenly be deprived of
their sole means of livelihood,
and that properties valued in
the aggregate at perhaps two
billion dollars would as sud
denly become worthless?
It is doubtful if they do fully
realize this.yet these are figures
given by no less a writer than
Dr. Henry Smith Williams in
an article in the "Ladies Home
Journal," reviewing the pro
hibition movement. And he
adds: "Personally I am at a
loss to understand how anyone
who has the slightest, grasp of
economio questions can contem
plate with equanimity the anarch
istic possibilities nay, certainties
which reveal themselves through
the slightest use of the imagina
tion ia connection with these fig
ures. To me, at least, it seems
obvious that the only thing which
has kept the prohibition move
ment before the people of the
United States ist)ic simple fact '
that prohibition does not prohibit. "
Thinking men and women who
seek the truth and are unswayed
by prejudice, and who give the
foregoing facts the consideration
they deserve cannot escape a lik
conclusion. Paid Advertisement.
