SMALL TOWN STUFF"

Did you ever hear someone exclaim: That
small town stuff. Those who use this expression
seem to think that there is something so unsophls-
ticated about the people who inhabit small town
that their viewpoint is to be discounted-especlally
by those who live in the larger centers OF popula-
ton. Maybe so. But what is small town stun
anyway. In what respect does the rural resident
differ from the urban denizen! We nave Travelled
neither far nor wide but we have had the oppor-
tunity for many years, to observe along tins line.
Some years ago, of course, the styles in hats and
skirts and pantaloons and slang used to come to
the CITY little sooner than they did to the country
Town and the rural districts. But with the auto
mobile and the radio these things come home to US
country folks just about quickly as they make
their appearance on the street and IN the drawing
rooms of the city. The rural and the small town
conditions make for relationship between neigh
bors that you do not find generally, in the city
1t is objected by those who do not like the small
town, that it is a place where everybody knows
everything about everybody In a large measure
this is true. In the country, people know their
neighbors. Years, if not lifetime OF ASSOCIATION
have made for intimate knowledge. The wittcism:
IA friend is one who knows all about you and
loves you still" is more generally applicable in the
country than anywhere else. Despite occasional
fractional squabbles the population of the small
town lives what might well be termed an enlarged
family Life. When sickness misfortune
overtakes some member of the community every
other member of the community is ready with SYM
pathy and assistance. When some circumstance
brings happiness prosperity to one of the mem
bers of the small community, there is fecitation by
the neighbors. When the Grim Reaper gathers in
of the fold there is in the hearts of all
and genuine participation in the grief that has en-
veloped the stricken household. Daily association
brings sympathetic understanding. That one
can live by for himself alone is a truth better
realized and fully accepted in the small COM
munity than in the large. Helpfulness between in
divduals, cooperation between neghbors- these

are things that thrive in rural SOIL You know your
neighbor and he knows you and the band of friend
ship is strengthened because of that knowledge.
All this may be ''small town stuf''-but it is the
stuff that enters into the making of the worth while
things of life VIE are not unmindful of the fact
that all things are not always well in the small
community We do not forget that the small town
has its troubles, its occasional strifes it's fractional
Individual quarrels. We do not claim perfection
for the conditions of the small community nor any
special saintliness for it's people, But this we be-
lieve, that in the small the rural community, people
live closer to each other take interest in each
others welfare and spend more time in ripening
acquaintance into friendship than is done where
people forced to keep pace with the busy throng
that GIBBS and flows through the overflled avenues
of metropolis Disguise the fact as you will, the
city is artificial 1t is not natural to live in sky
scrapers and work all day under electric lamps.
Parks are beautiful-but they are artificial. We
have seen the human face artistcally-and mar
tistically-painted, but we prefer the bloom of
youth. The art of the landscape gardener can
transform an ugly city plot into veritable par
adse of fern and flower, but who that has known
the free and the open would not much rather loll
along the unkempt banks of some babbling brook,
where willows cluster and weeds abound, than he
would stroll the graveled walks of pretty park
"Keep off the grass?" Would James Whitcomb
Riley ever have written his intensely human poem,
"The Old Swimmn Hole" had he, boy, been
forced to take his swimming in some fashionable
clubs swimming pool? Not your tintype-or
any other type. Of course "Tne Old Swimmin'
Hole is "small town stuff" but it is the kind of
stuff that lives because it is rooted in the human
heart. Yes, there may be things about us country
folks that the city bred delight in calling "small
town stuff But we will wager that ours is the
more natural existence. We surrounded by the
things of nature The waving grain of the fields,
the herds that Craze in the pastures the cheerful
homes that dot the prairie side, these and other
pastoral sights make the and woman of the

lot of farmers who had planted
peas, sweet corn and other pro-

Good Roads Material Aid
to the Sick and Injured
Improved Highways Make Medical
Attention Quickly and Easily
Available

Much has been written and
printed in recent years about the
large sums saved in transportation
costs through the good roads that
have been developed in recent
years, and the millions that might
be saved if our highways were
further improved and made ade-
quate to the traffic.
But there is one time when the
value of good roads cannot be
measured in dollars and cents, and
that is when some member of the
family is seriously ill. Good roads,
which make it possible to get med
ical attention quickly, often are
the means of saving life, but even
when the case is not so serious. it
adds greatly to the comfort of
the patient and the efficiency of
the doctor, if good roads are avail
able.
Many people in Stearns county
Well remember the difficulties in
getting medical aid a quarter of a
century ago. If you lived ten
miles from town, it took an hour
with good team when roads were
at their best, to drive to town and
summon a physician, and as long
for him to drive out to the patient.
and much longer when roads were
muddy.
Now you notify the physician by
telephone and he jumps into his
machine and is by the bedside in
few minutes. If medicine is nee
essary, some member of the fam
lily can go to town, get the prescrip.
ton filled and be back in less thar
an hour. If. hospital attention is
needed, an ambulance, summoned
by telephone, will carry the patient
quickly and comfortably to 8
place where modern medical anc
surgical aids are available.
Good roads have greatly in
creased the doctors field of activ
Ity. Thirty years ago a trip t,
see a patient ten miles away tool
up half of the doctors day. Toda,
| they can make many such trips
and still keep regular office hours
| When long trips were difficult, tn,
| doctor was not called until the cas-,
became serious. Now, when trav
Ell is easier, many cases, by gettin!
early attention, are kept from be
coming serious.
Not every one can have trunl
highway to his door, but one sew
enth of the farmers in the stat,
live within a mile of trunk high
way. County and town roads hav,
also been greatly improved in tn,
last ten or fifteen years, and near
/ ~ everyone has a good road, or a
j least a fair road, the greater par
of the way to the nearest city.
| Since we have become used t,
good roads and automobiles, WI
notice it all the more in season
when the roads break down, espec
tally in time of emergency.
