We would like to see one Wisconsin
county settled by mail order people, and
see what would happen, says an ex-
change. All Of the stores would stand
it as long as they could, then move
away. Banks, usually prosperous,
would close their doors. The newspa-
pers would have to quit. The hotels
would go out of business, M "hanics
move away, the schools and churches
dwindle, the sidewalks would go to
wreck, buildings would be vacated, UNI
painted, dilapidated; strangers would
take one single look and then flee. Ism t
that precisely what would happenif one
entire county were populated with peo-
pie who bought everything in the mail
order trade Who would buy a farm
so located that he could not drive to
some sort of a town? A sane man
wouldn't take such land at half price.
Be a friend to your own home town,
and it will be friend to you.

OBSERVERS OBSERVATIONS
Nssr-GOId GIsaninss Sentimental and
Otherwise

People who go into debt for Injuries
not only exchange present pleasure for
future trouble but also find their ex-
pected pleasures to be a gold brick.
The substantial and sustaining joys of
life are not to be found in the expendi-
ture of great sums of money but in
things within the reach of all people CT
moderate means. The happiness of man
consists more of a proper attitude to-
ward the facts of life than in the pos
session of this and that tempting bau
