guests, for the couple were both fash

freely SO she kept in her employ a
certain Mile. Louise, a truly admirable
cook, who had, however, an outrageous
temper. More than once, after out
breaks on the part of the cook that
would naturally have insured her dis
charge, the countess yielded to the
pleas of the count that such culinary
paragon must be permitted the "explo-
sions of the nerves" so frequently char

was not at home to plead, and the
countess plucked up courage to give
the explosive treasure notice. Mile.
Louise departed in a tantrum.
The next day she returned to de-

wished to show to a certain baroness.

countess gave her and carried it to the
baroness, who read it. burst out laugh

"No. no. my girl; you won't do!'
This-when the indignant Louise car

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
iZlng 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. 1t 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 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-Slded 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 al olutely nothing to
him unless he can sell 1t at price that
will pay him a fair return on the
money and time invested in Its pro-
duction. The farmer, without mar
kets, would be in the same fix as q
storekeeper without customers. In all
most every case the farmer Is de-
pendent upon the nearby town or city
for a market for at least his perish
able products.

needs the country and the country
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 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 a price as he can secure them for
elsewhere.
But does he always get the farmers
business? Ask the mail order man
