lated in any way by boundary lines.
But it is especially important that our
economic and social relations, upon
which our political activities largely
depend, shall have the closest possible
, acquaintance and association. 1t is
important that the city man sympa-

and that the country man is on close
and intimate terms with his neighbor
in the city.
Situated as you are here in Port
