cliques aud sets, with each immersed
in its own shell aud never a peep at
tue light Of outer day.
We need a common ground for
meeting, where neighbor greets
neighbor and the stranger finds HIM
self at nome and among friends.
If cooperation is good in com.
mercial affairs it would be of
equal benefit in private and social
life. 1t would afford us a more IN
innate knowledge Of humanity and
a broader perspective Of life, and
the resul ant spirit Of good fellow
ship would be felt in thousand
ways.
A year of "getling together"
would stamp a wonderful imprint
upon the heart, the soul and the
conscience Of this community.

Looking a Year Ahead

We are face to face with the
problems of another year. 1t may
bring us much or little, as we
choose. The question Is, what do
we chOose2 In the parlance ot the
street, lit is up to us"
One thing we need Is Crater com.
merclll activity. But how are we
to promote il?
We need a closer community Of
interests between the farmer aud his
family aud the town man aud his
family. In many ways each is de-
pendent upon the good will Of the
other, but few Of us seem TO realize
,hls.
In years past farmers have been
Shipping their products away to
market in small quantities and real.
lzmg small profits while the repa.
cious middlemen have rolled in the
gold that should have found ITS way
back to the farms. And the loss to
the farmer Is likewise a loss to the
town and community IN general.
We should not permit another
year to go by without remedyIng
this gIarIng defeat in our system.
It can be done.
The business men of this town
should all 60 together and devise
some method whereby they can
mal ket the products of all the far
mers quickly, economically, and
without the and of so many hungry
go-betweens. 1t may take a little
brain work, and trip or two to
some central market in order to put
the scheme into practical working
order, but it can be done if 1t is
undertaken IN the right spirit.
When the business men look after
the interest of the farmers IN this
respect the farmers will reciprocale
by giving them the immense volume
Of business that is now going to
other sources.
An agricultural clearing house is
needed in this town. The new
wear should see a movement on foot
for It's establishment, and the end
Of the year should see it IN practical
and successful working order and
with every body happy and satisfied.
Too many of us are strangers to
each other in this community, where
we should all be brothers and dwell
together IN unity for the common
good of all.
And that IS because there are en-.
tirely too many hard and fast
