PARADISE IN THE COUNTRY A Live Town a Desirable Place to Live In. ® NOT DEAD, BUT MERELY SICK Mm Made Country Towns; God to Be Thanked For Them—Ten Men Engaged In Rural Life Succeed Where There Is but One Succeeds in the City.

(Cot>yrt*htnl, 181 t, by Thomas J. Sullivan.; H you would be kuowu and not know. v«getate in a village. If you *<>u>d kuow and nut be known, live in tb« city. G<"l made the country, and man , mndo the town. What wonder that lH*nltli nml ilrt: . should abound and lx threiiteii-.-d in field and grove! Hut. while mini made the country 't- niiH, God Is to be thanked for them. I They lune been ns lamps of life along tin pntbwnv of humanity and religion. Wlttilii them great men have been . tn-iu and great n.iuds conceived and i ik-ielo[H-<|. Behind their walls freedom has fought her noblest battles. They lune stood on the surface of the earth ■II..- great breakwaters, roiling back or turning aside the swelling tide of oppn - sion. Country towns have been the iradies of iiumau liberty. They have bei-n the active sentries of almost ail chun h mid state reformation. Town* Not Dead —Only Sick. U e refer, of course, to live, prosperous iov. i . not places that are dead ui.d ready for the last sad rites. Os course there are many towns which an not dead, only sick. They need a to quicken their pulse; they need . r.il treatment by a community »|ns lalist, or, better still, they should i0..-alt their pride mid their conscience n d a waken to a full realization of their iKiKition mid condition. The wise farmer is looking for the lest market possible for his products ll<- will naturally find it in a live I'juu where there are live, up to date ami business men. These mi u are not only making good markets fur the farmer, but ate vitally interested in the welfare of the entire town mid surrounding community. For Universal Good. They see lieyond the results of one •In s trade and realize that there is Homethlng more in life than mere mouey making. They are actively interested In bettering community condiimns from an educational, social, moral ns well as financial standpoint. Effort in this line is not confined to the town alone, as the magnificent benefits extend beyond the corporation limits. The town is made a community and trade center for farmers as well as townspeople, where there is a lively cosqieration which makes for universal good.

bJAUDOlizeu wueu in tho old market towns they erected a market cross, as if to teach both buyers and sellers to rule their actions and sanctify their gains by the remembrance of the cross. Standard Goods Bear Trade Mark. The live town furnishes a market for all kinds of farm produce. It also becomes a center of exchange which supplies every human requirement from a needle to a steam tbraslier or the luxurious automobile. Modern themselves on their ability to serve the buying public. They fill their stores with merchandise of a standard quality which should make and keep customers. In previous articles we have Shown how a good town contributes to higher farm values and now farm prosperity may be directly and greatly influenced by the presence of a good town. Tills being the case, there is a natural relation between country and townspeople which many perhaps have not thor ougbly considered. Same Goods, Same Price. A live town with live merchants who are broad minded enough to look beyond present day profits invariably affects land values and the desirability of the countryside as a place to live. Let it be remembered that standard made goods bearing a registered trademark sell for the same price the world over, and the manufacturer’s guarantee of quality stands behind them in the village store as well as in the large city mercantile emporium. Any manufacturing concern which will permit itself to be tempted into turning out goods which do not bear its name or trademark is a mighty unreliable institution. If its dealings with the mail order house are fair and honest, why does it try to shield itself from public discovery? Price and Quality. The lower grade goods and "seconds’-’ never curry the maker's name end are sold almost exclusively by the retail catalogue houses or ten cent stores to consumers who have not an opportunity to inspect the goods or who consider the price rather than quality. Buying your necessaries at home and selling your produce at home is what makes and keeps the home market and contributes largely to the milking of the home town and community the sort of place in which one geuerally desires to live and die DRY CLEANING.
