Community Spirit

The Iowa Farmer: The farmer needs the town
and the town needs the farmer. This being confes-
sedly true there ought to be mutual interest be-
tween the town folks and the country folks. The
business In the large cities realizes his
dependence upon the success of the farmer and the
farmer knows quite we'll that the better the town
the better the market, and hence he is interested
In having the most up-to-date progressive town
his market place. II ~ IS -. '.'r.,
There is tendency sometimes to minimize the i'm
portant link that connects town and country. The
farmer sometimes gets the notion that it is the
send to mail order establishments for his goods.
He does this when he has the cash at his COM
mand, but sometimes he gets into close place
financially and under such circumstances he has
no use for the mail order fellow but instead hunts
up the home dealers and asks for credit until af-
ter harvest" This is not the proper spirit. 1t is
the local dealer who pays the taxes to help support
the community. He contributes toward the sup.
port Of the church, he pays taxes to sustain the
best possible school; he contributes toward the
working of highways and the building of bridges;
he helps the poor in the community and in every
good work he is the leading spirit If the people
of the community are pinched for money he ex-
tends credit oftimes to his sorrow. Who would
want to live in county where there was no live?
towns and consequently no markets?
And then there are the country folks to take into
account. The merchant oft times thinks he can do
better by shipping his produce, such potatoes,
cabbage, apples, onions, and such things, and so
when the farmer drives up to MS place OF business
told that his store basement Is already full and he
can @use Then the farmer must either
take this stuff back home or pedde It over the toWn
This is not the right kind Of treatment. 1t is just
as bad for the storekeeper to treat the farmers in
this way it is forthe farmer to send to the mail
order houses in the big cities for his goods.
What both the farmer and the merchant need is
cooperation and this cannot be- attained without
confidence each in the other. There ought to be
real community spirit abroad in the land. n The
towns1lan ought to&lneet the farming community

ity spirit magniied Ii takes mo prophet to predict

This has got to a point where it is
80 outrageous that it should be
looked into and some action taken
against Mr.. Schweizer.
A little while before Christmas the
high prices took a drop when one
was peddling lutetisk at 10 cents a
pound, Schweizer Immediately drop

cents under the peddler, and was
then making more than one-third

We have heard Mr.. Schweizer and
others say that the high cost of meat

to come another day and at an ap-
pointed hour to be treated. Even
this did not disillusion Mr.. Hill, who
wrote note and enclosed a check
for $4,000 for the services. The
check was returned with the infor.
nation that a bill would be sent him
in due time. To his surprise the
charge was $4,000.
An investigation revealed the fact
that patients paid, as nearly as the
hospital was able to find out, ten per
cent of their income for one year, or
q correct proportion depending upon
the kind of service rendered.
In contrast to Mr.. Hills experience
can be cited hundreds similar to the
following: A poor woman brought
to the hospital bank book which
showed her meager savings. She
volunteered it all If they would cure
her. The woman was given the usual
attention. The danger Of an opera
ton was explained and she agreed
to undergo it. The operation proved
successful. When at the end of
several weeks the woman umidly
asked about her bill she was handed
her bank book and a check for $500,
with the information that her opera
ton was considered an experiment
and that the surgeons consider
themselves and medical science in.

Absurd Reason For
Not Advertising
Some Merchants Refuse to Patronize
Paper Because They Do Not Like
the Editor-Such Men Are Poor Bus
mess Men For a Town.


Some advertisers make the tremen-
dous mistake of refusing to advertise
in a paper because they have some
personal feeling against the editor.
No such attitude should be taken.
This excellent editorial along these
lines recently appeared in the Obel-
in (O.) News:
"An Oberlin business man, solicit
ed for advertising business, stated
that he would not use the columns
of the paper which the solicitor
represented because of the fact that
notice had been made of an action
brought against the business man a
few weeks before.
There should be but one reason
on advertising and that because it
pays the advertiser. We would not
drive away. the business of the man
who carries space because he and
the editor are members of the same
church or smoke the same brand Of
cigars FOR have similar tastes in
neckties or politics, but the fact re-
mains that the business of advertis-
ing is plain business. It should be a
dignifed presentation on the part Of
the bushes man of the reasons why
the public will find it profitable to
deal at his store. .,.
1.-THE fact that he likes or dislikes
the editor should have nothing to do
with the question. The fact that the
paper in question prints the news
without fear or favor is a strong rea-
son for using its columns. Charac-
ter, for papers have character, and
circulation should be the determin-
ing factors in the purchase of space.
If the paper reaches the people in
the territory of the advertiser and
If its policy is such as to command
the respect Of those with money to
spend, the business man should use
space in it, not to oblige the editor,
but to push his own business. Ad-
vertising is a commodity of genuine
value. The advertiser should get
value received for the money he ex-
pends for space. He should pa
tronize the papers which print the
news, because that is the business OF
a real paper, and any other policy is
unfair to its readers"
