LIVE DISTRICTS
NOT ACCIDENTS
Consistent Cooperation of
Merchants and Public can
Accomplish Results

When you find high class public
schools located accessible to your
children; when you find a community
of fine churches; when you find all
the conveniences of modern life at
your elbow, just stop and think that
this is the result of successful home
trade, which has made it possible TO
create splendid center of civilization
in your locality. If everybody had de-
cided to trade away from home these
things could not exist in your neigh
borhood. They might exist in some
remote. city where your welfare is
never considered, and you might as
well be in the wilds of Africa, for all
those who had profted by the money
you sent them would care.
A safe and sound bank, live mer-
camille establishment, or an industry
that is commanding business in the
community is a great asset to every
person in that community. 1t is the
thing that decides the stability of the
town, and determines the growth of
the place and it's desirability as a
place in which to live. No person
cares to locate in a town where bus
mess is uncertain or shalay, or where
conditions are SO uncertain that in
vestments in real estate would be a
doubtful venture. And all of these
conditions depend in. the final an
alysis on what you are doing with
your money and whether the town
is receiving the business to which it
is entitled.
In home trade, however, you are
dealing with neighbors and friends.
You are dealing with those who sor-
row with you when your loved ones
are taken. You are dealing with those
who are ready to chip in and help as
far as their means will allow them
when you or your family are in dis
tress;; you are dealing with those who
are your joint partners in the joys
and sorrows of your home commun-
ity. Disaster to you is disaster to
them.
The welfare of the people of COM
munity is inseparable. Selfishness
and shortsightedness exist but its the
liberal, broadminded spirit Of live
and let live that makes your home
community an abiding place worth
while.
Very few of the country towns of
the state offer better business oppor-
tunities than they did twenty years
ago, and in many of them the pros
poets are not SO promising as they
were at that time. One reason for
this, perhaps, is the growing tenden-
cy to patronize mail order houses
and stores located in the large cities.
It is worth noting that farm values
depend in some measure, at least, on
the proximity of the property to a
good town. Eliminate the country
town, and land values surely will
drop. We believe the small town is
needed, and that farmers and towns
people are exceedingly shortsighted
when they fail to patronize home
merchants and their home institu-
tons.

Springfield, Mass. Sept is tF}-- Voters of the second Massachusetts congressional district have chosen 9 clergyman and 8 wealthy restaurant chain owner to contest In the No vember election for the seat in tha United States house of representa- tives left vacant last July by >the death of George B. Churchill, re- publican of Amherst. In the pri- mary yesterday Henry L. Bowles of Springfield, chain lunch room owner and sportsman, long prominent in state politics, was nominated by the republicans. Rev. Roland D. Saw yer was unopposed In the d-mocra- tic primary.
 Opposed by William II. Feiker, six times mayor of Northampton, Bowles won the republican nor1ipa- tion by 5,8S3 votes, receiving 7,1oo votes as against 1857 for Fciker. Sawyer in the same district polled 762 votes.
 Such campaigning as vas carried on was featured by the prohibition issue. Feiker, who in 1922 opposed the Volstead act came out in sup port of the dry law. Bowles an nounced his stand for enforcement but admitted that he would feel free to vote for liberalizing the law if the cause of temperance and en- forcement would thus be furnished He pledged his support of the ad- program of economy and tax reduction
 MT, Sawyer, has won note through his acknowledged belief that the prohibition law is a failure and that to permit light wine or beer to be sold is necessary. He has been returned to the state house of representative year after year since his election In 1914.

Every so often Buster Bear yis- ited the big tree in the Green For est which he knew contained the summers store Of honey of Busy Bee and her relatives. Those visits were useless He knew that. He knew he couldn't get at that honey. But just the same, he had to go around there and look at the tree every so often, and when he did stand there looking up at that tree how he did long for some means of getting at that honey His tongue would hang out of his mouth and the water would drip from it. Yes, sir It would so But 1t was useless, Strong as he was he couldn't tear open that tree 10 get at that honey.
 He was over there one afternoon when t began to grow dark very rapidly, It wasn't time for the Black Shadows to come creeping out from the Purple Hills, but 1t grew dark even faster than had 1t been time for them.

He didn't like the feeling that coming storm gave him He was just at the entrance to the cave when the first great big drops came pattering down. Then how 1t poured! It grew almost as black as night, The lightning fash ed and the thunder crashed and the trees smashed and the rain dashed and Buster just curled up in a ball. He was scared. Yes. sir. he was scared. Big as he was he was scared. And he knew that all the other little people in the Green Forest were scared too.
 The wind twisted branches from the trees and blew some trees over, and altogether 1t was one of the worst storms that ever had visited the Green Forest. It was no won der that even big Buster Bear was
