How many of our good citizens
realize that this town is depen-
dent to considerable extent upon
the good will and patronage Of
the farming community surround
ing US? And how many of Us
ever give a second thought TO the
comfort Of the farmer and his
wife and children when they
cone to town
II We never have done any
thinking along this line before it
Is not too late to begin now.
Lets begin now.
We can not do everything at
once, but ve can make q start in
the right direction by selecting a
convenient sta and build sheds
where the farmers can leave their
rigs and hitch their horses and
feel safe n their minds that their
teams vii not be frightened
by the inzuuerable automobiles
that are constantly whizzing by.
Some may argue that there are
livery barns and feed sheds
where the farmer can stable MS
team for price.
True, there are. But when a
nan from town drives out into
the country and stops az a farm
house does the farmer charge
hin a quarter or a half dollar for
= place for MS team 20 stand?
Not . bit Of IL That team i put
riSht in the barn o. hitched in
safe place away from the road,
snd there i 10 price attached.
And II the town man is thus
taken care OF in the country Why
shouldn't the farmer be shown
equal courtesy when ne comes %
to~n and spends his money.
II ve wsni the farmers trade
We wiu have TO treat him right
when he comes 70 see Is. Il We
don't he viii ind other places %
go ard no one viii have just rsa-
son to complain.
This IL but one Of the items in
the count. Let's dispose OF II and
then tackle the others.
