COMMUNITY GROWTH

busy factories are as vital to

and fair market prices are vital
to the agricultural section. The

Little more than a meeting and

tually, as the nation drifted to-

were established in these little
centers of population. These
industries took what native
labor they found and acted as a
magnet for the surplus labor
in the surrounding area. The
community grew and new ind

Advice in Selecting

AND NOW The MODEL
VILLAGE

The forces that are working
to make American communities
more attractive in appearance
will find encouragement in the
report of the United States de-
partment of agriculture that
country villages are improving
in this respect.
There is village planning as
well as city planning, and it's
benefits are now manifesting
themselves in picturesque ham
let's which have got rid of their
|drabness by paying a little at
tention to their streets, setting
aside tracts for diminutive park
and providing convenient APP
lAroaches.
The department finds that al
though nearly 20,000,000 per-
sons live in American villages
and farming population of 3d.
100000 depends on them for
business, education and social
purposes, such towns are often
ugly and make poor showing in
comparison with villages in Of
her countries. Of course it may
be said in pallation that the vii
lagos of the old world have been
settled for hundreds of years
and their inhabitants have had
Igreater opportunity to develop
beauty than our villagers whose
communities are comparatively
young. The American small
town has sllcung up in a hap
hazard way and there has not
been sufficient time to do away
with the unsightly spots. 1t is
not to be expected that they
would show from the outset, the
charm of European hamlets
where lawns and gardens have
been cultivated for centuries
and where there still remain
picturesque relics Of bygone
ages.
But now that thecivic spirit
has penetrated into our country
communities rapid progress to-
Ward appreciation and creation
OF beauty can be predicted. lWo-
mems clubs and chambers of
commerce are at work in the ru-
raj regions as well as in urban
centers, and their efforts are
generally in the direction MAX
ing their communities attract
i've places in which to live. Their
is, of course, no reason why a
village should not be as we'll
laid out as a city, and the rural
community has superior facil-
ties for growing trees and flow
ers, which contribute as much
las anything toward making a
town beautiful.
