For years I lived is cities — large, medium and small, Now I live in a town and like it. There are reasons why I should. Truth to tell I was never enamoured of the big city with all it mechanical forces of action, its massed fuss, its feeble accomplish­ ments, We should mould to our needs the place we live—-but this can't be done in the city—the city fashions our lives to its varying whims. But let us, together, go over a few of the ad­ vantages of the town in the hope that ‘we may make them stand forth in clearer light. One is the cold logical fact that in the town- living costs less—in other ■words one gets more for what one gives. In the cities we pay much for little. In the town we get a run for our money. A lot, one hundred feet wide -and two hundred feet deep, seems like a farm in a city. It would cost almost as much. In the town it costs relatively little and gives more joy and satisfaction. It is open to the air and the sun. Grass, fruit and flow­ ers grow better. If you doubt my statement come up and see me some­ time, in July when strawberries and raspberries are ripe, or in October when the corn is ready for the pot. Then building and maintenance cost less in tlfe tchvn than in the city. Tax­ es may be nominally high, especially of late years, but valuations are low­ er and that all important item of ex­ istence is not so great a burden in a town as it is in a city. Transporta­ tion costs less. Street cars and taxis are never pressed into service. You are closer to the sources of supply of the necessities of life, and there are ways of cutting costs which cannot be done in the larger centres. In the city you are called upon to keep up with the Jones family. Per­ sonally I don't like them. They think more of their clothes than they do of their thoughts—quite frequently I YOUR EYES NEED ATTENTION Our 25 Point Scientific Examin­ ation enables us to give you Clear, Comfortable Vision F.

The larg­ er the city the higher the standard of living for those who can afford it, but to the man who wants a reasonable life, the higher the standard of living, the lower the standard of comfort. In the city you pay for things you do not get. The greatest things in life are difficult to purchase with money, The list would have to include: break­ fast alone with a morning paper, time to think, a quiet place to sleep, and friends who are capable of under­ standing. These dearest whims are al­ ways accessible in the town—not al­ ways in the city, Then I like to live in a place where the children know me and tell me. their troubles. Today one of them wanted me to take a sliver out of his finger and I did it with a deftness of surgical efficiency difficult to por­ tray! What is the use of living in a city where the janitor’s daughter in the apartment block is the only child you really know. True—at times they are noisy and they shared with the robins the loot of my cherry tree but they paid for it one hundred times ov­ er with their laughter and sometimes with their tears, At first I question­ ed their wisdom in sawing off the limbs in order to get the cherries. This seemed like wanton waste of next year’s fruit and then I .remembered that governments do the same things — saw off, this year, the limbs tliat would bear fruit next year, and gov­ ernments are models which people are expected to follow, but this is not a homily on economics, but a stray thought or two on life in town. Then I like the way things are or­ ganized in the smaller places. They meet the needs .of the people who use them. Golf fees are less because management costs .little. The Club House is not so elaborate. No white coated waiter serves you ardently with longing hopes for generous tips. The course is not so smooth, but your chance is as good as the other fel­ low’s and the “greens" are could be desired. Almost every town has a green. The fees are low so ery one may play. The fun is divided equally into three parts: the game it­ self, the good nature of the players and their bantering-language. One lit­ tle lady bends the bowls to her will by the, masterly persuasiveness of her eloquence. If the bowls of her own 1 side are going astray, she pleads with them like a Billy Sunday calling upon sinners to repent—if her opponents’ are gaining she coaxes the bowls to go wrong, to slip across the dead line, to dally by the wayside or to crash head-on into some lucky shot which has gone before. The men in “mixed ( the country nor the country to the doubles" gain steadily in restraint of city—one is too far from the other, language. They car.ry, often without tlie fown knows the country and expression, thoughts which, as Wd^ds. the country knows 'the town because worth once remarked, do often He too J deep for tears. Now these things succeed in the town^. because there are men of exec­ utive capacity who direct and encour­ age them and do it not for what they get but for the joy of doing some­ thing worth while. All this serves to encourage a community spirit,. a com­ petitive enthusiasm which survives without bitterness or rancor. The hu­ man race may live without democracy —perhaps without government of any kind, but it is lost if-it fails to hold its capacity to play. Victory is not everything — neither Is -money — the game is the major part of life. I love to hear the rain in town. It falls like a benediction on lawns, gar­ dens, and fields. You think, as you hear it coming of the things it will do for the country and of those who will rejoice at the rain., Rain in the city speaks of running water from filthy eaves. In the country it tells the story of freshening lawns and fields, of robins revelling in the glory of a new life, of gray faced dust dis­ solving fast on fields and roads and richer, deeper color on the face of all the earth. There is more gossip in the smaller places, but it is rarely malicious. Ev­ erybody knows if you have been to Church or out of town, or under the weather. It all rises from a closer in­ timacy which brings a keener inter­ est. The man in the town knows that business is better because Jolfn Sjnith’s crop yield will be higher. In the city he measures things by curves and graphs. In the town the question is---what of the growing crops. The railway man figures progress by in­ crease of car loadings, but car load­ ings are dead material things — and •John Smith’s 400 bushel crop of wheat on ten acres is real, personal and, vital, both to John and the man in town who knows about it. I was in a tele­ phone office a few days ago and the girl answered a call, ’‘All right, Jim," she said, “go right ahead and cut your hay wait a minute and I’ll give you the story." And she read the weather report from the morning paper no doubt, the farmer cut his hay. The farmer Is close to the soil and ,the town Is close to the farmer. Mass Impulse's sway the city, but‘Individual Initiative begins further back among the trees. There is in our cities an intensive localism which sees wothifig save that which they deem to Be their H. E. Isard & Co. their interests are the same — they dwell in unity together — at least, in 1 unity of thought. Yes, I am glad I ’ live in a town. I wish the city peo­ ple who weave in and out the narrow lanes of city life could sense, for a time at -least, the beauty and the free­ dom of town and country. It would uplift their lives, improve their think­ ing and break the tangled weave of cobwebs from their minds. They would realize then that the town is a real part of the nation—-in many ways rthe better part. I am glad indeed that | I live in a town—in a not too big town at that! “The beauty of holiness is but one beauty, but it is the highest — it is the loss of the sense of sin and shame that destroys both^men and nations.'' —Independent. * “There is but good, and that is but one way of being good, and that is to be good!”—Mary Baker Eddy. i * * one way of doing to do it!
