bereavement.
Mrs. Wm, Casemore and Family.
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

wonder if they really think. 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.

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
