race in the county should receive his
support.
First, it should be the tow n nearest
the geographical center; then it
should be the one most easy of access
to the most people in the county; it
should have the best schools, best
churches, best morals, and in every
way be the best town in the county.

between living ’in style.’ or modestly
as they may elect. Practically no so

those who hare the money and inclin
ation to live in higher priced places.”
In late years hundreds of cabins
have have been built along tile Frying
Ian -lver by people living farther east
where the summers aro not as pleas-
ant as they are in mountains. In mnnv
instances families wlv> have spent a
few weeks In the Rockies fishing or
hunting, and who have lived in ranch
houses or tents, have cut logs and
erected a cabin of their own, installing
3 cooki“g facilities. Th*
