—Birds live to eat. It Is lucky for
men they do, for If the bird did not
breakfast man would not dice. Some
years aga a French scieutlst told the
world that if all the birds should sud-
denly die man would have only one
year's life left to him. The French-
man proved his point to the satisfac-
tion of other scientists, but laymen
laughed and the usual proportion of
them kept on killing, writes Edward
II Clark in Country Gentleman. It
a ways has been my belief that the
sin of bird persecution had its begin-
ning with other sins in the garden.
Adam probably saw a robin picking
away at a cherry, and instantly said,
“The bird is a thief.” Then Eve very
likely saw a scarlet tanager sunning
Itself and straightway coveted it*

of woman arrayed againat the bird.

—A man was heard recently to re-
mark that the slit skirt worn by the
ladies shows a cracked brain and an

places where the skirts are silt worse

relatives last Friday/
W hy Business Lags
The concentration of trade in
the big cities during the past twen-
ty years has driven thousands of
country merchants out of business.
The result is especially noticeable
following the withdrawal of busi-
ness patronage from the merchants
in rural communities. The average
property values in rural towns all
over the country have lagged far
behind the rise in real estate values
generally, while the rural popula-
tion has actually decreased in many
states. This state of affairs is a
calamity to civilization, as it is
generally conceded that the sources
of our moral fibre are vested with
the rural community.
Contrary to what many believe,
this situation is not all attributable
to the allurements of the big de-
partment stores and mail order
houses. The ultimate cause of the
arrested developments of the rural
towns lies farther back The ex-
pansion of any one line of business
in a given town is limited by the
variety of types of other enterprises
tepresented in the same town. A
failure to grasp this economical
principal explains, in no small de-
gree, the decline of rural popula-
tion. The business interests of a
community are frequently sacrificed
to personal prejudice. This is in
violation of an essential principle
of municipal development. Each
class should entertain a spirit of
hospitality toward every other class
holding differences in political
opinion, religious ideas, or social
taste. It takes all of them to
build up a town. Each one is sup-
plying a legitimate demand of
human nature, whether for legal
counsel, spiritual edification, cloth-
ing, food or fun.
Any one or all of these classes
may abuse its'privilegesand require
regulation. But when one class
diverts any pt?rt of its energies
from a performance of its own
normal functions to oppose or sup-
press the perpormance of the
function of some other class, it is a
subtraction from the total upbuild-
ing energy of the community as a
whole. Again, other faetors being '
normal, the business progress of a I
community is measured by its I
money circulation. Yet many |
citizens boast with pride that they
never spend money locally only
when they are '‘in a hurry for
something.”
These are some of the factors
entering into the decline of rural
towns. The merchants sneering
at the local press and ignoring their
advertising possibilities; the non-
church-member sneering at the
local church and its functions; the
minister engaging his whole ener-
gies with denominational tomfool-
ery or in rabidly denouncing young
people's amusements, by which he
has already driven them out of his
church and lost the support and
respect of many of the substantial
business men.

—Last week this paper referred to
a light fall of moisture as "dew,” and
have been considerably joshed for
spelling it d-u-e. In defense, we offer
to prove by any farmer in Grant coun-
ty that that moisture was d-u-e long
before It was d-e-w; and besides, we
have been so often confronted with
that "due” and ‘ past-due” that the
other way of spelling the word had
been quite forgotten.
