HOME TOWN BUILDING
Loss Of Population in the Rural Districts Of
the United States

this town must have the trade of
its citizens and the people of the
surrounding country. If they do
not get that trade, the town will
die OF dry rot. Real estate values
including farm lands in the near
vicinity, will decline. The Miner
has decided to open its columns to
a discussion of this question of
Home Town Building and an
article bearing on the subject will
hereafter be printed weekly. Con-
tributions from our readers are in
vited. We believe that there is a
remedy which will improve local
conditions, both as to the financial
bettermen and steady healthy
growth, rather than a decline of
the kind which we all know is
much in evidence in many towns
in this section of the country. 1t
may be true that we have not yet
been seriously affected by the pull
of city life which is depopulating
some of the smaller towns through
out the United States, but preven-
tion is better than cure.
In another column is printed the
story of Mrs. A. R. Garfield,
Mayoress of Warren, Illinois. who
recently visited Chicago to learn
something of the ways of the
world. She probably meant the
underworld.
When l go back to Warren"
said she, I will do everything in
my power to make the town at
tractive to young girls. If only 1
can keep Warren girls in Warren,
l shall be happy"
We know of no better way in
which Mrs. Garfield can immortal
ize herself and her administration
than by devising ways and means
to accomplish the purpose she has
in mind However we can all
take lesson from her experience.
The question involved in it is one
of the most important of the times.
How can we keep our young peo-
pie at home, is big problem.
AS previously stated, suggestions
from our readers are invited. Let
us have your views on the subject.
Communications under this head
will be printed in our next week S
issue.

Why are the country towns OF
the Middle West of the United
States going backward? 1t is a
fact known to many people that
during the past ten years $50
towns in the State of Iowa have
suffered a decrease in population.
The rural districts of Illinois dur
ing the same length of time have
lost 1874 900 people. The States of
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri
and Kansas have been adversely
affected in the same way. 1t is
predicted that like conditions will
in the near future prevail in all
states east of the Rocky Mountains.
The larger cities in those states
which have shown a decrease in
the rural districts have, during the
same time, made an astounding in
crease in population. This indi-
Gates that the young people are
growing to dislike conditions pre-
vailing in country towns and are
leaving home to find employment
in the big cities which attract them
because of the natural allurements
of city life, or the greater advan-
tages which they seem to offer to
the ambitious youth.
In any event, it is condition
which is not we'll calculated to i'm
prove the moral or business status
of the nation. The question which
is now confronting the American
people is, how can this exodus
from the country towns to the
larger cities be checked? What is
the cause and who can supply the
remedy?
We must all realize that a
healthy industrial growth is prime
necessity for the future welfare of
our Home Town and all other
smaller towns througout the coun-
try. Without prosperity and in
dustry we cannot have life, pro-
gress or morals.
AS far as our town is concerned,
we are persuaded that we should
shape our policy so as to give our
young people chance to develop a
future at home instead of making it
necessary for them to turn their
eyes cityward. AS begin
ming to that end the merchants of

MORE towns die for want of con-
fdence on the part of business
men and lack of public spirit than
from the rivalry of neighboring
towns or adverse surroundings,
says a writer in a western paper.
This is true. When a man in
search of a home or a business
location goes to a town and finds il
brim full of hope and enthusiasm
over the prospects of the place and
earnestly at work to build up the
town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as a re,
suit he drives his stakes and goes
to work with the same interest.
When, however, he goes to town
and everyone expresses a doubt
and apprehension of the prosperity
of the place, moving about and in.
dulging in mournful complaints
about imaginary evils which are
likely to befall the town, he feels
that it is no place for him, and
shakes the dust from his feet
while he departs with all possible
speed for some other town. Try
and make live, enterprising, pro.
gressive town out of the one in
which you live. When you are
working for or saying a good thing
for your town you are accomplish
ing a good thing for yourself.

additional safeguard.
