EVERY DOLLAR SENT OUT
OF HOME TOWN HURTS IT
Whv The Farmer Should Not Allow The
City to Grow at the Expense
of the Country.

There is the same reason for building |
up the trade and industries of COM
munty that there is for building UP
the trade and industries Of nation.
1t goes without saying that the coun
try Which does most 10 foster the com
MERGE. the manufacturing and the pros
perity Of its own people soon outdis-
tances the country which neglects these
things. The same thing applies to small
communities
Now. that is just the principle involv-
ed in trading with home merchants
rather than with distant mail order
houses. To trade with the home mer-
chant helps home commerce ana home
industry. TO send money to the dis
tant mail order house helps that re-
mote concern. but depletcs the commu-
nity from which the money Is sent.
Every dollar taken out of "A community
makes everybody In the community
that much less prosperous. lf more
water flows out of lake than lows
into 1t. there is only Il question OF time
when the lake will 20 dry II more
dollars flow out Of community than
flow into II. there Is only question OF
time when everybody that lives there
will suffer for lack of money.
Take the farmer. for example. Sup
pose he trades with Il mail order house
on the supposition that he can buy
goods cheaper there. supposition that
actual investigation shows In most
cases TO he untrue. Every dollar the
farmer sends away leaves his commu-
nity short that one dollar. AS result
the home merchant suffers. When al
the home merchants suffer the village
itself becomes less prosperous. This
reacts on the farmer. Ii Is trulsm
that n farm near n thriving town Is
worth more money than one near Il
poor town. Therefore every time the
! farmer hurts the merchant OF his near
est village he is depicting the value OF
| his own acres.
This is not a theory. but n condi-
ton shown by rundown villages and
abandoned farms in many parts OF the
land. The thing that caused this havoc
was not deterioration Of the soil, but
deterioration in the local public spirit.
The same thing that causes dollars to
go to the distant city when they should
remain at home causes the boy or the
girl To go to the distant city when he
or she should remain at home. The
fault does not lie in soil or other outer
conditions SO much rs in the people
themselves. They fail to appreciate
their locality. its charm and its posi-
bilities.
The outcome Of all this is that the
city becomes congested both with men
and wealth. While the rural community
falls behind i'm the same degree. This
is not Il healthy condition. Any ma
ton is in bad way whose cities grow
at the expense of it's farms. When the
farmers are prosperous the nation Is
PROSPEROUS. and no true and permanent
prosperity is possible otherwise.

love. There is nothing to settle man
down to steady practical effort so
much as love and marriage. The first
invention Faircbild made after his en-
gagement he sold for $4,000. On this
he married.
His workshop was single room on
an upper floor in business block In
the city There he used TO go at
O'Clock in the morning and work all
dav at his inventions. In few
months he had perfected a machine
which he believed would make his Tor
tune. He made very excellent model
of the choicest wood, with brass mt
tings. keeping it secret and locking
the model in his shop when not there,
so that no one could get at 1t. When,
however. his lawyer came to ask for a
patent he was informed that the same
machine had been perfected a few
days before.
