Of poverty so much as case Of

costs even more than proper food

The Future Country Town.

One of the most marked changes
that recent years have brought to the
sypical country town, is the growth
ef organization spirit. In former
Years the farmers were largely in
dependent units, each of whom play
ed lone hand, and as a consequence
rarely got anywhere. Recent years
have shown tremendous growth in
organized activities in country towns.
Yet even now there are many farm
ers and country town people who are
ho, identified with any form of rural
BIZ village organization and contribute
little or nothing TO the combined
effort OF that community TO go ahead
The movement to form boys and
sirls agricultural aud home making
clubs is changing the interests of the
coming generation along cooperative
BID organizing lines. The young
people that have had good time aud
have won honor and profit as q result
Df their work in these clubs, have
keen these satisfactory results
irom their affliiation with good
Organizations Ii has been demon
ktrated that they get results from
80ining with other people to secure
pertain ends Having had this exper
5euce, it is not likely that when they
grow up and assume the burdens of
he community, that they viii want to
tlepend on their solitary and unaided
efforts.
