Presence of Thriving Cities Near
BY, important to Residents
of Country.
MERCHANTS DO Their PART
Town and Rural Community Are De.
pendent Upon Each Other--Co-
operation Alone Brings Pros
perity to Both.
(Copyright.)


Residents of towns and cities every.
where are beginning to realize more
acutely the fact that, except under
very unusual conditions, their commu-
mites will prosper and develop only
in proportion to the prosperity and de-
VelOpment that comes to the farming
sections which surround them. Real.
ling this fact, commercial clubs and
chambers of commerce have in recent
years been devOting as much of their
attention to developing the country
districts as they have to securing new
industries and attracting new resi-
dents. They know that as the coun-
try about the towns becomes more
thickly settled and as the farmers be-
come more prosperous the more money
will be spent in the towns and the
faster these towns will grow. It is
largely for this reason that the resi-.
dents of the towns and cities have
been doing more and more to aid the
farmers in growing bigger crops and
IN improving marketing conditions.
The towns and cities have contributed
more and more literally toward the
building of good roads in the country
districts and have paid a large part
of the expense of maintaining agri-
cultural experts to assist the farmers
in growing bigger crops and getting
more money out Of their crops when
they are placed on the market.
Not One-sided Proposition.
But this is not a one-sided PROPOSE.
ton. If the city is dependent upon
the country, SO is the country depend
ent upon the city. What the farmer
raises is worth absolutely nothing to
him unless he can sell it at price that
will pay him fair return on the
money and time invested in it's pro.
duction. The farmer, without mar.
kets, would be in the same fix as a
storekeeper without customers. In al.
most every case the farmer is de.
pendent upon the nearby town or city
for market for at least his perish.
able products.
In the language Of the street, it is
a ffty-ffty proposition. The town

MAKES STRONG PLEASPRING IN FRANCE.
ID. @. GRABILL OF STATE COUNCIL,
TALKED ON PATRIOTISM
THURSDAY NIGHT.

A small but appreciative audience
greeted ID. @. GrabiIl, representative
Of the State Defense Council, at the
high school Thursday night.
Mr. Grabiu's subject was Linking
Up With the Boys at the Front" He
opened with the impressive sentence,
"Will God or Germany Win the WARP"
Mr. Grabill strongly denounced any
attempts at a negotiated peace. He
pointed to Russia as a sad example
Of what negotiated peace does for a
hapless country at war with nation
who regards treaties as "mere scraps
Of paper" to be broken at will.
Mr.. Grabill was in Germany when
war was declared and saw the mobil-
ization in that country Later he Wis
tied in France and Italy and saw them
mobilize. He talked to a banker in
Munich shortly before the war The
banker said, There is a growing feel
ing in Germany that the people are
being exploited for the benefit of the
ruling classes" Prophetic words ut
tered not by a peasant but by a man
in charge Of bank bigger than any
in Milwaukee!
''The world cannot exist half slave
and half Free" said Mr.. Grabill, who
pointed out that the kaiser and his
kind fight for the perpetuity of auto
cratic government just as we fight for
our democratic ideals. Ultimately,
said Mr.. Grabill, one or the other will
prevail.
The war causes date back 300 years,
Mr.. GrabilI said. Then the great dem
ocratic ideals began to permeate the
world and autocracy began it's bat
ties against rule by the people. 1--WE
were slow to get i'll but now we are
going to stay" was the declaration of
the speaker. Mr.. Grabill pointed to
the 80 stars in the high school SER
vice flag saying that ultimately the
news might come Of their sacrifice on
Liberty's altar. This city will be an
unsafe place for any pro-German
daring to talk disloyalty when the To-
cal papers print the names Of our boys
killed in France. In conclusion Mr.
Grabill said: GA Liberty Bond should
be in every American home. Homes
not having Liberty Bonds where they
can be afforded are not American.
"The banks will lend you the money
if necessary and it costs only $1.75 a
year to own a Liberty Bond This is
hardly sacrifice.
Germany is watching us in the next
four weeks.
"The war will end when 95 per cent

VET TAKES
$500 LIBERTY LOAN BOND.

w H. Croft returned Wednesday
from ST. Cloud, Fla, where he spent
the winter at the Old Soldiers re-
treat. VIM. ate oranges all winter and
as a result is stronger than ever. The
first thing he did on reaching home
was to buy a $500 Liberty Bond
Would have taken more if I had the
money" said William. Mr. Croft
sensibly recognizes that the safety Of
our government lies in the backing
of the people. He had a delightful
trip north passing through the old
Tennessee battle fields, seeing Mis-
sionary Ridge and ascending Look
out Mountain. Mr. Croft sets an ex-
ample to all but particularly to the
close and miserly.

needs the town. The FARMER needs the
assistance of the storekeepers of the
town in securing market for his
products. He needs the assistance of
the storekeepers of the town in getting
good roads over which he may haul his
products without losing more time
than the products are worth. He often
needs the assistance of the storekeep-
ers in helping him over a period of
financial stringency.
Storekeeper Needs Farmers Trade.
On the other hand the storekeeper
needs the business of the farmer. He
does not ask the farmer to sell him his
products on credit even though at the
time he may be hard pushed for cash
and may need more credit badly. He
does not ask the farmer to help him
build a sidewalk in front of his store.
He does not ask for the business Of
the farmer provided that he can sell
the farmer the goods he needs at as
low price as he can secure them for
elsewhere.
But does he always get the farmers
business? Ask the mail order man
in the big city or ask the postmaster
or the express agent in any town or
city in the country. They could, if
they would, tell of thousands of dollars
sent away to the big cities to pay for
goods that could be purchased just as
cheaply and much more conveniently
in the nearest town or city. These
thousands of dollars, when sent to the
mail order houses in the big cities,
never come back. They do not help
to build good roads past the farmers
houses. When the next crops are har-
vested, the mail order man won't buy
any of the farmers products. The
potatoes, the tomatoes, the melons and
other things that the farmer raises
may lie and rot upon the ground SO
far as the mail order man is concerned.
No Credit From Mail Order Man.
The mail order man won't sell the
farmer 2 cents worth Of goods on
one days credit no matter how badly
the farmer may need the goods or how
AAIGAO 4OA0J NGASAA 41C W pay 1O1
them. If the farmers house burns
down, the mail order man is not GO
ing to sell him any lumber on credit
SO that he may build another home.
He will take what cash he can get the
farmer to send him and there his in
terest in the farmer ends. If the farm
er has no money to pay for what he
needs, the mail order man will find
others to help swell the stream of dol
lars which is building up his great for
tune and helping build up the great
city in which he lives. Let the home
merchant help the farmer when he
needs it. And the local merchant does
help the farmer as long as he can, but
there comes a time when he cannot.
He cannot make money without Gus
toners. Without the legitimate profit
that he makes from his sales he can
not "carry" the farmer over the rough
spots, he cannot contribute to the good
roads funds, he cannot pay the farmer
cash for his prOductsl

5000 Workers Cheer
Hoover in Paris

Speaking at a luncheon given in his
honor at munitions works to-day, Mr..
Hoover said
Comrades, allied in the common
cause, salute the French workingmen, /,
for during three years | myself have
worked as a laborer
have word Of encouragement and
hope to convey to you. Last year the
American and French crops were much
below the average. This season the
crop which will soon be harvested in
America IS the largest we have ever
had
Next year our bread shall be bet
ter. On all sides we must practice
economy. Each pound of bread saved
viii make room for the transporta ton
of an equal amount of munitions for
soldiers and more munitions.
The bread may times have bean
bad in France, but you workingmen
should know that the American work
ingman has also sacrificed the quality
OF his daily bread in order to share
the French workingman's war bread
The sentiment of the American food
administration is that. as we are fight
ing for a common cause. we should sit
ct a common table"
Three thousand French workingmen
gave Mr.. Hoover great ovation as
his speech was translated by Hugh
Gibson, secretary Of the embassy.
NJ. Boret, the French Food Minister,
led the cheering, shouting: Let US
salute together the man who made il
possible for France to eat"

Find Real Valley of Death

or some other explosive used by the re-
treating Germans.
From Percent -Tardenois valley
stretches northwest to Saponay and
beyond, and this valley on Friday was
a great battlefield. At one place near
Saponay, at crossroads, lay five
saddied horses, apparently killed by
the same she'll. Beside two of the
horses lay dead Germans just as they
fell from their saddles.
The rOadways are Uttered with am

of the FrancoAmerican allies. Many
of the wheat fields are partly harvested
with the wheat stacked, the Germans
having reaped what the French peas
ants had planted. Here and there dots
can be seen from the roadway, indi-
eating where some German dropped.
Az one place q German killed by shrap-
mel had fallen head first into shell

1t was into this valley of death that
the French infantry came Friday morn

the valley north of Saponay. The
French and American shells follow ed

hill to the west and northwest Of
Saponay the French came from woods

To the northwest the Americans
were advancing, virtually under the
