Good advice, no doubt, from that readers point of view, for evidently he wasn't a dead name spoort. Uut Homebody else would tell the news paper to cut ont the society section, and somebody else the religious sec tion, and so on. ad infinitum. And tnost of the women would say "Cut OUt the politics", perhaps. You see about what the editor and the newspaper would be reduc ed to, don't you? CHAUTAUQUA READING HOUR - By William ByrOn Forbush. When the lirst cave-man got too Old to enjoy fighting with his nei'.;h bore while yet ls neighbors were Jroung enough to enjoy fighting with him, we can imagine him saying to blf Lrothers, and his sons and bis grandsons: "Come you take this cave end yu take tnat no an(J the rest ot you take others, and let us build a fence around us all, to that we can sleep at night with Only one watchman, and be safe." Thus, began the first community. Its bond of union was fear. Today we live in towns, not for necessity, and not entirely for safe . tT. We live there for convenience, . for business interest, for economy. But none of these constitute a town a community. In a town that ' bat nothing but these, men may re ' main as suspicious of each other as i up In that Connecticut village where they say every man counts his fing eri after he shakes hands to be sure be gets them all back. In such a town the attitude of mind Is often ' 4 Oxpressed in the tamillar saying a . tnOng farmers when they are asked bf travellers for hospitality : "We ain't fixed to entertain ift rangers." A Community Is made by fellowship !) It our town "fined to entertain titrangers?" Do we live in union or y In suspicion? Is our town yet a com unity? The atice.it community-bond was fear. The modern community-bond il fellowship. As soon as the people Of a town begin to do things togeth or they begin to be a community. The Amepfcan City speaks of Os aeo, Wisconsin as 'a village that . graduated Into the community class' ' It Is interesting to know how it Was done. The village -has only 900 people, about sixty per cent Scandl-- tavlan In origin. Because there is - BO other Tillage within eleven miles It has twenty-five per cent more trade, than an ordinary town of .Its lie, and until 'recently It appeared to be living for the dollar. There were the usml number of churches women's clubs, but ncW of ' o hive raiiri' tM ttnded to create and maintain Its own special faction. But vaguely and then, definitely the people began to feel that some thing was wrong. "Let's get togeth er." a few of them said, just who either has been forgotten, or else they were too modest to say. How the Comm-nlty Begaru Three years ago they bad a com unity institute, a specialized Chau tauqua, and they have had one ev ery year ever since. Some mourners were there and some In the seat of the scornful, at first, but not now They organized a neighborhood Civ ic Club. The club beuan to meet in an old school house, and when the club found how uncomfortable and tin tafe the bu 1 ling was for their own meetings they realized how unfit it was for the r children. True, one man had just built an up-to-date hog house complained because they were going to raise his taxes, but by this time it was as necessary to house their children well as their hogs. ; The club bought itself a motion picture machine, secured reels and slides, free of charge from the uni versity, and .showed them nearly every week without admission fee to the children and those of the par ents who cared to come. As the farmers could not come into town evenings, the machine was fitted, for gas and taken to the country school houses. It was delightful to see these little buildings full of peo ple, many' standing, and among them eager young mothers with sleeping babies In their arms. For those just outside the village a small room was prepared, with volunteer atten dants present, to take care of the children while their parents were attending the club meetings. They had a town Hallowe'en par ty, a community Christmas tree, a "hard time party," with old clothes, an old-fashioned spelling match and a candy pull. People in Osseo have learned how to throw off their old reserve, and as one says who knows the town "People are carrying their hammers' as concealed weapons now, and 'knocking is no longer the never-failing source of amuUBment." They made their mistakes. One was to try to raise funds to support these improvements by a level sub scription of two dollars apiece. Not all could afford to pay as much, and those who couldn't but wanted to, were senslatlve. So now they raise the money by Indirect taxation, through plays, and entertainments. Another mistake was to bar child ren frohi the club meetings. This kept many adults at home. Now many Interesting, young people at tend the club, while the little ohm are entertained In the rest room. A Beginning with Hens. In Chemugg county.' New Vork. the farmers and business men were at odds with each other. The town bo; rd of trade and the rural grange were not on speaking terms. Then Itufus Stanley began to organize Poultry Clubs among the boys and girls of town and country alike. Pretty soon they had a Joint exhibit In trwn. which was presided over by the Professor Hens at Cornell University. Town fathers and farm fathers met here together. It was not long before th Hoard of Trade Invited the grangers to a dinner, and now both organizations are unit ed in making Chemung county one of the notable, centers on the hen map of this country. Tbe Laurel Hill Society of Stock bridge,' which , bas already been noted as the parent Tillage. Improve ment society, begaa !f8 work by try ing to get thelnwrm rt ti Co fro- ( rnnwwl, - i -- - America. la Columbia City, - Indiana, the most immediate nee j seemed to be that of a rest room'Un the town for the wives of the fanners coming In to trade from tb country. Very sensibly that local libnry associa tion jlfclded that, instead of reserv ing its rooms for t chilly silencer they should fee offered to the use of all. Tbe result la that rocking ta in were put among tbe library 'shelves,- pd instead , ot adopting seme obscure "dec'msl system" 'of classification that nobody but the librarian could understand. th most Interesting books were put on the front .shelves and the unused books were relegated to the fear of the room. The library has now an un usual circulstion, and everybody is at home in it. In Kennett.gPa., the people first learned community spirit through their summer Chautauqua. After they had been together lor a week In the tent, they said, "Why can't we get together every week?" And so they startel a community even ing service, closing the separate chuches and all coming together in one place to worship. In each of these movements watchword wag 'Together." we adopt that watchword oar town becomes a community, the When PREPARING FOR COMMUNITY FAIR Preparations are going on now at a rapid rate for the community fair to be held !n Sound Neck next Thursday, November 9th, The farmers, housewives and cun ning club uirla are busy preparing their exhibits and the prospects dre good for a fnfi showing for th Sound Neck community. County Demonstrator Agent G. W Falls w 11 spend Monday and (Wed nesday in the community assisting the farmers in preparing their ex hibits. Next to the exhibits interest will center in the addresses to be made by prominent speakers on this oc casion. Thomas J. Markham of this city will be among those who will speak.
