The town, then, that has an ann
bition to advance, 10 build up,
spread out and prosper, should,
first of all, devote its energies to
the fullest possible development
of the community from which il
draws it's substance. This not
merely from a standpoint of be-
nevOlence or philanthropy, but as
a measure of pure self-interest.
To demonstrate the truth of this
assertion, one has but to observe
the number Of towns IN this cOun-
try that are really overgrown-
developed out of all proportions
to the surrounding country. And
in every one of such towns. bust
ness conditions are abnormal. The
growth has been mushroom
growth, with no enduring foanda-
ton, and as soon as the general
prosperity of the country has
slight decline, these are the first
towns to suffer.
The town that would insure its
growth based ON a solid FONDA
ton, should make the develop
ment of the surrounding territory
its first consideration. The devel-
opment of any and every industry
of rural districts is of as vital in
terest to the jewellers in the town
as to the parties directly concern
ed therein. The organization of
farmers clubs, boys pig and
chicken and similar elubs-al of
these as vitality affect the town
people as the country folks, be-
cause they are factors in the gem
eral prosperity from which the
town must draw it's enduring
strength. A poor road leading
from any community to the town
is as much matter of concern to
the town as to the community af-
feeted.
And thus it goes through the
entire list Of community interests.
The enduring prosperity Of the
town jewellers bears an exact ra-s
li0 to that Of the rural population.
Their interests are inextrieably /
1t is, however, far
easier for the farmer to dispense
with the backing of the town peo-
pie than for the latter to ignore
his support.
1t is essential that the town and
rural people work unitedly for a
common end if they would gain
he ideal results for both. Thus
Nezperce and her en-
irons can be made a most en-
RANGING spot for human habita-
ion. Nature has provided boun-
fully here the materials for man
o mould into this ideal condition.
