What One Farmer Thinks

with me it is a serious matter-it is
life. VIII I live near dead town; or,
will live near a thriving, prosperous
town that has strong business insti-
tutions and such social environment
as is enjoyed by normal, healthy men,
women and children? I have a fam
lily, the welfare and happiness of
which is my first consideration. 1t
supplies and save dollar now and
then, Or, might not. do not know.
But even if did save little, would
be loser in the end If got to looking
to the city for financial salvation,
would lose tie interest I now have
in the community would cease to
be a booster-and I would lose the
with my neighbors and friends for the
advancement of local interests. I
would lose, in a measure at least, the
cordial relationship that now exists
between myself and many good men
who are working hard to make our
community agood place to live.
would be tearing down while they are
trying to build up. Money is neces-
sarry, but there are other things be-
sides money-besides bargains to be
considered. 1 do not know that all
men look at the matter in this light
and I am sure every man has a right
to his own opinion, but for my part
you can count me in as home town
booster. I believe that the making of
the local community is up to the man
who live in the local community.

is where their interests are. But my
