There Is an old saying that runs
like this: "Tell me where you eat and
! will tell you what you are" or "Tell
me what kind Of society you run in
and I will tell you what you are"
They amount to the same after all.
The people Of southeastern Kansas,
southwest Missouri and northeast Ok
lahOma have the same chance to set
in judgment on the people Of town
that aspires to become city and the
markings Of q well bred animal will
stand. out no cleaner than the mark
ings Of this city, If 1t happens to be-
come one, will stand out. II we ex-
pect to become q city we must plan
in q city way for sufficient accOmmo-
dations for people who live in such
places. II we persist in fighting good
roads because it Is going to cost lit
tie or fight schools or water plants,
or q thousand and one other modern
helps because of our mercenary atti-
tude. We simply will die as many
other well meaning small towns have
died. for lack Of public spirit.
