i NOT DEAD, BUT MERELY SICK
Man Made Country Towns; God to Be
Thanked For Them—Ten Men En
gaged In Rural Life Succeed Where
There Is but One Succecds In the
City.
[Copyrighted. 19M. by Thomas J. Sullivan.]
If you would be known anil not
know, vegetate in a village. 1£ you
would know nnd not lie known, live in
the city.
God made the country, and man
made the towu. What wonder that
health and virtue should abound and
least be threatened in field and grove!
Hut. while man made the country
towns. t!od is to be thanked for them.
They have been as lamps of life along
the pathway of luiiuauity and religion.
Within them great men have been |
born and great minds conceived and
developed, ttehind their walls freedom
has fought lier "noblest battles. They I
have stood on the surface of the earth
like great breakwaters, rollhi;'. backer
turning aside the swelling tide of op
pression. Country towns have been the
cradles' of human liberty. They have
been the active sent t ies of almost all
church and stale rcf mutation.
Towns Not Dead—Only Sick.
We refer, of course, (o live, prosper
ous towns, not places that are dead
and ready fur the last sad rites. Of
course there are many towns which
ure not dead, only sick. They need a
tonic to quieten their pulse; they nej>.l
general treatment bv a community
specialist, or. better still, they sli< uld
consult their pride :>!id their conscience
and awaken to a full realization oi'
their position and condition.
The wise farmer is looking for the
best market po.stibie for his products,
lie will naturally lind it in a live
town where there are live, up to date
merchants and business men. These
men are not only making good mar
kets for the farmer, but are vitally in
terested in the welfare of the entire
town and surrounding community.
For Universal Good.
They sec beyond the results of one
dny's trade aud realize that there 1:
something more in life than mere
money making. They are actively In
terested In bettering community con
ditions from an educational, social,
moral as 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 tow u is made a community
aud trade center for farmers as well
as townspeople, where there is a lively
co-operation which makes for univer
sal good.
It was a beautiful truth which our
forefathers symbolized when in the
old market towns they erected a mar
ket cross, as if to teach both buyers
and sellers to rule their actions aud
sanctify their gains by the remem
brance 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 thrasher or
the luxurious automobile. Modern
merchants pride themselves on their
ability to serve the buying public.
They^ll 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 how farm prosperity
may be directly and greatly influenced
by the presence of a good town. This
being the case, there is a natural rela
tion between country and townspeople
which many perhaps have not thor
oughly considered.
Same Goods, Same Price.
A live town with live merchants
who are broad minded enough to look
beymd 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 trade
mark sell for the same price the world
over, and the manufacturer's guaran
tee 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
turuing out goods which do not bear
its name or trademark is a mighty un
reliable 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 "sec
onds'" never carry the maker's name
and 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 ueccssaries at home and
selling yotir produce at home is what
makes and keeps the home market
and contributes largely to the making
of the home town and community the
jsort of place in which one generally
desires to live and die.
DEPICTS HOMES OP ROMAN
FLATDYVELLER AND MAGNATE
Seattle, July 16—"TJio large
apartment houses of the Roman
cities or twenty; centuries ago, Into
which poorer classes woro packed as
in a rabbit warren, were not much
unliko the large apartment buildings
now common in Italian, citie3, thou^H
of courso, far inferior in equipment
and comfort," said Dr. Thomas K.
Sidey, professor of Latin, in a lec
ture on "The Roman House," .be
fore the University of Washington
summer session.
"They woie built fc> cover a jvhole
block and probably had small win
dows in the upper stories looking
out on the streets yor alleys. Stairs
led from tho inner court or some
times from the Btreet. Whole fam
ilies somotinies were packed into a
single room. The sanitary condi
tions were ver^ bad, the danger of
fire and collapse always imminent.
The remains of Roman houses in
Pompeii, Rome and other places are
for the most part those of the rich
and well-to-do citizens. The huts
of tho poor naturally have not sur
vived, but we can well imagine what
they wero like, since a hut is a hut,
anywhere and at any time.
"The house of the rich man, how
ever, was a very pretentious af
fair. Oficu it covered a whole block.
Even in the small town of Pompeii
one of the houses measures 315 by
115 feet. Usually much of the
lower floor next to the street was I
devoted to shops. No decoration
was wasted on outward adornment. I
A Roman house did not possess |
nearly as much furniture as mod
ern residences, but the little that
it had was rich and beautiful. No
carpets covered tho floors, for they
would have hidden the rich mos
aics; no pictures hung upon the
walls, for frescoes and other paint
ing wero permanently attached there
to. No fireplaces or mantel shelves
wero there, for they used little
fuel for hoatlng purposes, and the
use of coal was unknown. Statuary
in marble and bronze, large lamps
and tables in elaborate designs, and
several uncomfortablo chairs and
couches wore the us'ial articles. The
house was elegant, but, to our no
tion, not a cozy homo."
SOO "THIRD LOCK"
N EARING COMPLETION
Sault Ste Marie, Mich., July 15—
"Witli a length 350 f»*et greater than
any other lock in the world, the
new "third lock'' at the Soo canal
is rapidly nearing completion and
engineers In charge of the work to
day predicted that yrithln a month it
will be open to navigation. The
new lock has a total length of
1,350 feet, a width of 80 feet and
a depth sufficient to permit boats
of 24 foot draft to pass through It
The completion of this new work
will bo opochal in the history of
great lake navigation. With the
locks already in operation here, it
will permit a gross tonnage to pass
through from the waters of Lake Su
pericr to the lower lakes that is
ten times greater than the expected
annual tonnage of the Panama can
al. Three locks are now in opera
tion in the canal, two on the Ameri
can side of the St. Mary's river,
and one on the Canadian side. Two
additional locks are under construc
tion on the American side, one,
known as the "third lock." to be
completed during the latter part of
August.
During the eight months of the
navigation season of 1913, approx
imately 60,000,000 vou8 of freight
»assed through the Soo locks. Since
the start of the development of the
iron mining industry of the Upper
Mic higan regions, more than 500,
uoo,000 tons of iron ore have been
shipped through the canal to Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana points. In
ad iitiou enormous shipments of
copper ore, lumber and wheat have
passed through the big locks, the
niieat shipments alone now aggre
ting approximately 200,000,000
bushels annually.
History of the Soo locks extends
1'ick over a period of 117 years. In
: 797, the North West Fur Com
l ny constructed here the first lock
on the North American continent,
1 ut in 1S14 it was destroyed by
i nited States troops as a war
measure. No further attempt to
make navigable the waters dividing
Superior and the lower lakes was
made until 1S54 when the state of
Michigan constructed two locks,
each 350 feet in length, and of
sufficient depth to permit vessels of
12-foot draft to pass through.
| In 1S70, the United States gov
ernment took over an interest in
the canal and eleven years later
had completed the Witzel lock,
which is still in operation for the
use of small boats. In 1887, the
federal government had assumed
complete control of tho canal. The
government then ordered the des
truction of tho void slate locks and
tho crection of what la now known
1 ns the "Poo lock." This undertak
ing was completed in 189C. The
Poe lock Jb 800 feet long, 100 feet
wldo and admits vessels drawing 18
feet of water.
SKUNK FUR 18 WORTH
$3,000,000 ANNUALLY
Washington, July 15—Just com
mon skunks are worth $3,000,000
annually to trappers In the United
States.
Their fur is regarded In Europe
as equal to, and in some places
better than, the Russian sable.
And still only thirteen states pro
tect the animal by game laws.
These facts are emphasized by
the United States Department of
Agriculture which lust Issued a
bulletin on the "Economic Value
of North American Skunks." The
states are: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, New
Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and
North Carolina.
In 1911, the department declares,
2,000,000 skHnk skins were sold by
American trappors iu London. Many
of these skins the department says,
ire dyed and shipped back to the
United States and sold to Ameri
can women as "black marten" or
'Alaska Sable."
