A NEIGHBORLY CALD.

II the roads are good and the
weather favorable. Grand Forks will
be visited tomorrow by a large party
Of neighbors from several o fthe cities
to the north Of us, the citizens of
Park River having taken the lead in
organizing the trip, and it is expected
that the greater number Of visitors
Of the results of the visit made a few
days ago by members of the Grand
Forks Commercial club to that terri
tory.
The members Of the Grand Forks
parties that made the southern and
northern trips tried to make it clear
that they were not out on a business
trip. They were not trying to buy or
sell goods, or to engage in any form
Of business. They went out to see
the country and visit their neighbors.
That getting better acquainted with
the country. and with the people who
live in it is likely o have a good effect
On trade goes without saying, but that
result is incidental. and is not the
specific object sought. The object
was and is the cultivation of the spirit
of neighborliness. and the visits thus
far made have had a most excellent
result.
The return visit, If the conditions
are favorable to it, cannot fail to be
good in the same manner. We of
Grand Forks have need of a better
knowledge Of our n%eighbors; they
have need OF a better knowledge of
us. The approaching visit will tend
to Increase that knowledge, and 1t is
sincerely hoped that the visit will
have the best possible results for all
concerned.
Arrangements are being made for
the proper entertainment of the Wis
itorS while they are here. The BUSH
ness people Of the city should by all
meanS make 1t a point to turn u in
force to welcome the guests. They

MONDAY. JULY IA. 1913.
A TOWN F

In some respects life in a small
city Ia about the ideal form of exist
once. The great city has it's glitter
and its glamor. and many are at
tracted by it. but, after all, there are
many things lacking in it. Human
beings are social creatures. They do
not thrive we'll alone. There Is need
for interct urse among people in order
that full enjoyment OF life may be
reached, and that there may be full
development Of its possibilities. Hence
men and women have found it neces-
sary to form communities, n even
where population is sparse there is
need for common centers and meet
ing places. Out Of this need springs
the country village and the small
city.
The great city, with its population
Of hundreds of thousands, or millions.
has some advantages which the small
city cannot have. Where there is
great concentration Of population
there is great concentration Of wealth,
oIlu WILL llIlS COIlSCillA l VI SeA
great things are possible for the COM
fort and culture and entertainment
Of the people. But it is in the small
town alone that anything like a hon.
population is to be found
There neighbor knows neignbor' n
each citizen takes some sort of per-
sonal interest in the well-being of
those around him. The problems OF
the community are problems which
interest every person in it. A local
solidarity is possible which cannot be
reached elsewhere. and the small city
is in reality a complete unit.
With all their advantages the peo-
ple of tho great cities have found 1t
necessary to reproduce as best they
ma some Of the conditions Of the
small city in order h a the best de-
yelopment of life may be possible.
The several millions of people in New
York CITY are as much strangers to
each other as If they lived on oppo-
site sides of the continent. They are
not one people. but many. They can
not unite because they do not know
each other and have no means of get
ting acquainted. In order tina they
may act with some degree Of unani-
nifty. and that there may be some
thing of the spirit of the small city
which has been productive of such
splendid results, our great cities are
resolving themselves into many small
cities by the organization of ward
clubs, neighborhood associations and
the like, ard in this way they are able
to enjoy some of the benefits which
come from a state Of affairs which
the people of the small cities find
ready to their hands.
The great cities are the places Of
great things. great riches and de-
pressing poverty, great opportunities
and grea. failures, out the small town
is the place which. under proper con-
ditions. lends itself most readily to
the building of homes, the cultiva-
ton Of friendships, and the creation
Of a loca. spirit of real loyalty to
home and friends and country. And
because Of these things, it is in the
small towns rather than in the great
cities where the destinies Of our coun-
try are being shaped.
