PARADISE IN
The COUNTRY
A Live Town. a Desirable
Place to Live In.
NOT DEAD, But MERELY SICK

Man Made Country Towns; God to Be
Thanked For Them-Ten Men En-
gagged In Rural Life Succeed Who're
There Is but One Succeeds In the
City.
Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas j. Sullivanl
If you would be known and not
know. vegetate in village. If you
would know and not be known, live in
the city
God made the country, and man
made the town. What wonder that
health and virtue should abound and
least be threatened in field and grove!
But. while man made the country
towns, God is to be thanked for them.
They have been as lamps of life along
the pathway of humanity and religion.
Within them great men have been
born and great minds conceived and
developed. Behind their walls freedom
has fought her noblest battles. They
have stood on the surface of the earth
like great breakwaters, rolling back or
turning aside the swelling tide Of Op-
preston. Country towns have been the
cradles of human liberty. They have
been the active sentries Of almost all
church and state reformation.
Towns Not Dead-OnIy Sick.
We refer, of course, to live, prosper
Gus towns, not places that are dead
and ready for the last sad rites. Of
course there are many towns which
are not dead, only sick. They need a
tonic to quicken their pulse; they need
general treatment by a community
specialist, or, better still, they should
consult their pride and their conscience
and awaken to a full realization of
their position and condition.
The wise farmer is looking for the
81 best market possible for his products.
He will naturally find it in q live
town where there are live, up to date
merchants and business men. These
men are not only making good mar
kets for the farmer. but are vitality in
terested in the welfare Of the entire
town and surrounding community.
For Universal Good.
They see beyond the results of one
days trade and realize that there is
something more in life than mere
money making. They are actively in
terested in lettering community con-
ditions from an educa tional, social
moral as well as financial standpoint.
Effort in this line is not confined to
Morris tribune., 1916-11-03

You have shown that the government
at Washington had, full knowledge of
the danger Of the situation through
kilograms from Admiral Mayo sent
by wireless to the navy department on
April II, II and l3. You also give the
telegram of Mr.. Daniels Of April 20
directing the admiral to proceed to
Vera Cruz.
Mayo Feared Loss of Life.
You have shown that Admiral Mayo
made an emphatic protest to the navy
department, stating that he feared the
result Of the sQuadrOn's leaving would
be the loss of American lives and prop
erty. You also quote the kilograms
sent by Admiral Mayo the following
day, containing the protest of the
American consul, Mr. Miller, and re
questing authority to remain at Tam
pico You have shown that, neverthe-
less, the navy department On the Dist
confirmed it's previous orders and di-
rected the ships to leave at once.
"You have shown that the admiral
put out into the ocean eight miles dis
tant, but received a protest from Con
sui Miller reiterating his demand for
protection You then quote the tele
grams and signals of Admiral Mayo,
who, in spite of his orders, nobly re-
fused to run from the post of duty
while the lives of American men, wOm-
en- and children were in danger"
Can't Hide Behind DAM Is.
OF the President and Secretary Dan
iels the colonel writes:
"President Wilson cannot shield him
self behind Mr.. Daniels. for Mr.. DAN
iels could do nothing that the presi
dent does not order or sanction. WheL
Mr.. Daniels actions have been brought
to the attention Of Mr. Wilson, and
are not repudiateu by him, they he

the town alone, as the magnificent
benefits extend beyond the corporation
limits The town is made community
and trade center for farmers as we'll
as townspeOple, where there is a lively
co-opera ton which makes for univer-
sal good,
1t was a beautiful truth which our
forefathers symbOliZed when in the
old market towns they erected mar
ket cross, as if to teach both buyers
and sellers to rule their actions and
sanctify their gains by the remem
brance of the cross
Standard Goods Bear Trade Mark.
The live town furnishes a market
for all kinds of farm produce. 1t also
becomes a center of exchange which
supplies every human requirement
from a needle to a steam thrasher or
the luxurious automobile. Modern
merchants pride themselves on their
ability to serve the buying public.
They fill their stores with merchandise
of standard quality which should
make aN1 keep customers.
In previous articles we have shown
how a good town contributes to higher
farm values and how farm prosperity
may be directly and greatly Influenced
by the presence Of good town. This
being the case. there is a natural rela-
ton between country and townspeope
which many perhaps have not thor
oughly considered.
Same Goods, Same Price.
A live town with live merchants
who are broad minded enough to look
beyond present day profits invariably
affects land values and the desirability
of the countryside as place to live.
Let it be remembered that standard
made goods bearing registered trade
mark sell for the same price the world
over, and the manufacturers guaran-
tee Of quality stands behind them in
the village store as we'll as in the large
city mercantile emporium.
Any manufa cturing concern which
will permit itself to be tempted into
turning out goods which do not bear
it's name or trademark is a mighty un-
reliable institution. If it's dealings
with the mail order house are fair and
honest, why does it try to shield itself
from public discovery?
Price and Quality.
The lower grade goods and sec
onds'" never carry the makers name
and are sold almost exclusively by the
retail catalogue houses or ten cent
stores to consumers who have not al
opportunity to inspect the goods OF
who consider the price rather thar
quality.
Buying your necessaries at home and
selling your produce at home is what
makes and keeps the home market
and contributes largely to the making
of the home town and community the
sort of place in which one generally
desires to live and die.
Unnecessary.
Hell don't see why you refer SO
constantly to my old faults.
Shell really don't see why, either.
You certainly acquire plenty of new
ones every day.-Richmond Times-Dfs-

JUDGE J. L. LIGHT.

J. L. Light in retiring from the office of county
Judge did leaving its finances in far better con-
dition than they have been for years During the
past two years the Judge has exercised rigid econ
omy, and by so doing has held expenses down to
minimum The entire amount of scrip outstanding
will total only little 900 ard nearly equals
one years income from tax In other words,
the county is only about twelve months behind with
its obligations This is excuse whatever for the
prevailing low price of scrip During the past SIX
months scrip has sold at ridioulousy low figure
The reason is not that Greene county is on the verge
of bankruptcy Rather, it is traeeable to habit
Purchasers of scrip have grown accustomed to offer
inc forty and fifty cents for the paper, and others
have been afraid to buy at better prices Judge Light
retired with the countys finances in such condition
that scrip easily should be worth 80 cents. Most of
the unredeemed paper is held by five or six men II
the new county Judge exercises the same policy OF
rigid economy Judge Light put into practice during
