THE SMALL TOWN is NEEDED

The Aitkin Independent Age prints this de-
tense of the small town and draws the conclusion
that farmers and towns people ae very shortsighted
when they fail to patronize home merchants and
their home institutions. The editorial follows
There is debt you owe to your home town
but whatever the bill Isl none will be presented to
YOU for payment. If you do not realize the size
of it, nobody will try to tell you. You know what
the town has done for you, and you should know
better than amy body else what you ought to do for
the town.
For instance what part does this community
have in making you living Or when You lost
your job who gave you credit-not the big city
business men-oh, no. Again, it's the growth and
prosperity of your town that make it convenient
to find doctor, bank, amusements, churches,
schools, and business houses prepared to meet your
every need.
When you find high class public schools iocat-
ed accessible to your children; when you find com
mumty of fine churches; when you find all the con-
veniences 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 SPLEEN

THIS, THAT, and THOSE
BY x. C. Dingpoor
(Philosopher)

o these fads and these follies of
mortals
Bear hard on us who are sane
But, in the worlds reformation,
Will some one stand up and ex-
plain
What governs the mode of pro-
cedure,
And where the place to begin
Why take the gin out of E-gin
And leave in Wisconsin the sin ?
1t dawneth upon me that we
probably are inclined to overes-
innate even the financial ability of
holders of great wealth. An ele-
ment of chance which afterward
is lost sight of frequently enters
the money game. Many fortunes
have been won by accidently meet
ing the right man at the right

temper our ascribing of the sue.
cesses in this line wholly T., great
ability.
Why here is the Vanderbilt
family. They had won in the race
and had acquired great wealth.
But a desire satisfied yields to
another. You know that an eve
ming spent with THE anti " olstead
exhilarant is followed by a ire
mendous thirst for cold water the
morning after. And so with the
Vanderbilts. Having succeeded in
piling up to their hearts desire a
full supply of that wl,lc1 makes
the mare go, they fell an-hunger-
ing and a-thirsting for Duke.
Well, here was their daughter,
Consuelo, a lovely girl, as all
girls are; and there over in Eng
land was the Duke of Marlborough,
whose dukedom rested upon the
fact that one of his forebearers
few hundred years ago had hit the
military nail on the head at the
proper moment and had gained the
title. And a bargain was struck.
Duke was to take Consuelo and as
a bonus was to receive one hun
dred Thousand dollars annually;
which amount has been regularly
delivered to him for more than
twenty years.

Now in all this where is there
any evidence of the business judg-
ment we so much praise. From the
standpoint of Yankee thrift we
say it was a mighty poor bargain.
Calvin Coolidge would have done
better. There was no necessity
even for going abroad for a for
eign article. For in our beloved
America there was 4 Duke family

FARMING MUST MAKE GAINS

No one can do his best if he is handicapped by
a burden which prevents the free exercise of his
abilities The farm &inHestme@t has reached a
point where it is an esifenisly bufdensome load to
carry. 1t hampers the farmer in his operations.
The load of a farm investment in it's proper light
should be stmulator instead of an obstructing
burden. Many man has achieved success be
2 cause he had responsibility in the way of the
purchase of a farm or a business that made him
have to win; but there must be fair prospect
that the battle can be won or the stimulus the en-
enlargement to continued effort, wanes. The re-
port of the National Industrial Conference Board
showed that the cost of farm ownership has been
increasing faster than had the returns on farm
operation. This situation naturally hampers the
farming industry, and hits back very definitely and
directly to the business of the neghboring towns.
Any business that does not go ahead be it farm
ing or commercial, must go backward. Nothing can
be stationary. swimmer in the English channel

The farmers of America are the most efficient in
the world, yet if the national economic tide be too
strong against them, they must eventually lose.
The handicaps against the swimmer were Natures
and could not be removed. Those that are af-
fectlng agriculture, from the economic standpoint
can, fortunately, be remeded. This requires the
best cooperative thought and effort; then, when
accomplished we may all go forward. The bust
ness interests of Sank Centre quite fully recognize
that their welfare and success is quite particu-
larly contingent upon the welfare and success of
the farming community which the Herald serves

success of the farm business of their farmer neigh
