By Milton Starr

town would like to live in large one. Big
ness does not mean happiness. 1t does not
insure content, which anywhere is essential to
happiness The town of 5000 almost any
where in the agricultural regions of this coun-
try is more favorable as place of residence
than Is the average town of $4,000 or larger.
