We art told of an Impending danger and think that we can escape It or avoid It by refuting to face It. We Are Informed that 'here Is creat danger of restriction of our facili ties for local trade If our I en I bnst'iess men ar tint plven better support; that we may find ourselves ib prlved of the opportunities for marketing our fnrin vroducH In our home town tf our storekee pers find themselves stocked up i'h g;iods, but with no sdeitustp volume of local business. What It more natural t' ?n that this may be the esse If we do not stop ending our money away from home to the mall order houses In the big cities? We must realize such possibilities and take tteps to prevent them. If we don't, we will find out, In all probability, that our local merchants will look for other locr'.ions thsn In our town. Which Is the wlcest tMi.K to do to look the conditions squarely In the face, and take the steps nersary to counteract them or shall we, like the foolish ostrich, refuse to face, the conditions and decline to take eognliance of them? W'p. can permit matters to drift along until the Inevitable occurs, or we can think thlnes over, carefully and with Judgment, and take the steps nec pRFary to protect cur Intercut! the Interests of ourselves and those who will como after us. Our community Is built up as the result of various Interests, not the least of which Is the tributary farmlni? popu'aHon. Our town was created because of the various interests that center here and because this Is a, natr urnl point for the distribution of farm products and merchandise. The sale of the farm product? brings the money for the buying of the merchandise, while the merchandise supplies tho necessities of those who raise the crops.
