COUNTRY LIFE AND THE
COUNTRY TOWN.

recommends extension of cooperation
among farmers. 1t likewise recon-
mends establishment of the parcels
post
These two things can mean only one
result, the decadenee of the country
town. The parcels post means that OF
ders may be sent to the city and filled,
cheaply. conveniently, satisfactorily.
The extension of cooperation means
that the cooperative societies will ev-
erywhere be doing what they are now
doing in a few places-emancipating
themselves from the exactions of the
limited market of the country town;
from the grain buyers ring which
every country town used To know,
from the agreement among the little
group of general stores at the county
seat town, from the limitations of the
.meager market in which they were com
PEELED to turn in their butter and eggs
and chickens" and take out a poor
equivalent "in trade" 1t means put
ting the farmers business on a new
basis. and bringing him to the greater
market for both his sales and his pur
chases.
All this means an end to much Of the
Importance, commercially and socially,
of the country town. Add to this the
improvement of the country schools, by
process Of consolidation. grading, and
free transportation of pupils to and
from them. and the village will find its
excuse for existence largely gone.
The real question, then. is whether
the country town is worth saving;
whether the business it does costs too
much in the doing; whether it is a mere
middle factor, a consumer of more than
it produces. This view of the country
town has long been held, and it Is Ger
tain that the most enlightened thought
tends toward methods that mean its
/ destruction.
The changes. of course, would not
come Immediately; they would not even
be striking in their approach. The
country town would cease TO grow as
/ it once grew. Its people would 90 to
I the cities and TO the farms. They
would adapt themselves to the new
conditions as those conditions daveI-
oped. If in the end the general welfare
were promoted by the change, it ought
to be made. Certainly. for the sake of
| the country towns future, there ought
TO be no beuighted opposition to
changes manifestly for the good of the
great rural population OF the nation.

Disastrous Wreck

A railroad wreck resulting in
the loss Of life and property and
tying up traffic for sixteen hours
occurred On the S. P. line Sun
day morning at 3 o'clock at a
point six miles west of Yuma.
Freight train No. 243, west
bound, a double header made up
of 20 cars, met freight No. 244,
east boVnd, consisting of one
engine and thirty cars, quarter
of mile west Of AraA the FIRST
station out from this point. No,
IA had received orders to meet
243 but this train had no orders.
When the engineers and fremen
saw that a collision was unavOid-
able they set the emergency
brakes and jumped for their
lives. None Of either crew was
injured.
Three Of seven tramps in q re-
frigeratoF car lost their lives,
two being killed Instantly.
One of the Killed was a Next
can. Juan Ramirez. The other
was an American, j. D. McDev-
itt of Goldfield, Nevada, who
was apparently about 20 years
of age and far gone with con-
sumption
The three fine engines Of the
colliding trains are totally ruin
ed, the damage being placed at
not less than $4,000. The total
loss by the wreck will probably
exceed $4,000.
The blame for the wreck is
fixed upon p. 2. Jones, night
operator here, who acknowledge
ed his responsibility In failing to-
deliver train orders to 243.
Four of Ringing Brothers
circus trains, en- route to Phoe-
nix, were sidetracked along the
line west of the wreck, but got
through at II o'clock Sunday
night and reached the capital in
time to give their scheduled per
formances.
