CITY AND COUNTRY,
Relation Should be Always
Harmonious,

A new sort OF a GOSPEL is being
preached in Illinois by a professional
trade evangelist" who goes TO a
town and endesvors to build up its
community spirit. His methods are
original and effective. The other
night in a Western Illinois city he
lectured on "The Relation OF the City
and the Country"
He declared the relation OF the city
and the country Is often too delicate,
There Is often suspicion on the part
OF the farmer of the city man. The
keynote Of the lecture was commun-
isy interest. II radiating lines are
drawn out from that city and from
the other cities nearby the lines OF
the different cities will intersect and
The intersection OF the lines will be
the boundary OF each community. A
community consists OF town and
the surrounding country for six, ten
or thirty,fye miles, perhaps. Too
often there Is a spirit OF contention
between the city and the country
They are both dependent upon each
other and both suffer In the strife
II town is not prosperous the coun
try suffers. From the most selfish
standpoint it is 10 the interest OF the
business man TO care for the country
srsde. The man next to the soil Is
the foundation OF the commercial
world. The reason the money furry
not long since did not cause q de-
structive panic was because the farm.

dent upon the city. He may plant,
raise and reap his harvest, but he
has to have a market. Is is to the
advantage OF city TO see to 1t that
a market ia provided where the farm
er can get good prices for his pro-
duce.
He related an incident of two cities
which are situated across a river
from each other. Both Of them were
OF the Same siza, but the one pros
pered 80 much more rapidly than the
other because a good market had
been established and the farmers were
given square deal. A square deal
Is a level-headed piece OF policy for
any business man.
1t will be found profitable to q
community TO see that the country

Women the Greater Dreamers.

A Vienna doctor has published the
following figures:
Thirteen men out of hundred as
against thirty three women dream dur
ing their sleep. The number of men
who dream frequently is 81 per cent
that of women is 10 per cent. As a
general rule. it may be said that the
weaker sex has twice as much tend
ency to dreaming as the opposite sex,
The cerebral phenomenon under con
sideration is absolutely unknown to s
per cent, and IA per cent dream only
very rarely.
It seems idle to add that the same
doctor noted. what is perfectly well
known, that almost all our dreams are
suggested more or less directly by the
