hides should bo ntudlod tho local town an 1 the local merchant have certain re sponsibilities towards the fiumeru of tholr district and tho farmers have a certain duty towards these towns an tsttort should be made to determine what these duties are und to dlscdrge first of all tho town should be mudi a real cammunity centre and tho nern aary facilities provided to make it an attractive meeting place for the farm era of tho iiurroundlnc district and theh wives and families too frequently it is to bo feared farmers are rather given the impression that all tho town cores about them is tho money they have to ipond on tho other hand tho farmer is apt to compare tho lower prices quoted by the city houses with tho local merchants prices wluiout giving heed to anything else wbsn the- farmer buys from a city house ho is compelled to pay cash in advance nor has he tho privilege t first inspecting the goods ha purchases whon ho buys from tho local town merchxnt he thoroughly examines tho goods in advance of purchase and fro quently buys on credit and would resent being asked to pay cos it- yet is a well known fact that goods not be sold as cheaply on credit as for cash tho local merchant la immediately hand for every small purchase and all emergencies the city house 14 far away the average fanner ejt poets and rocelvoa accommodauor from the local merchant when he needs it and relies on him to take certain or his produce in exchange for goods but ho would never think of asking the city house- for similar accommoda uon and assistance and would not get it if he did ask for it this situation has existed for yearn yet the farmer la educated to cash payment to tho city houses why therefore should the local merchant not adopt tho same method and an one writer puts it say mr farmer ive been on tills spot serving you for years ive given you many favor out you make your most important purchases by mall pay cash in od vance now nureiy it la only fair that you pay me cash in advance also for tho small purchases you now make here kvery ume i pay cash tho job ber gives mo a discount of 2 to per cent iach year ho allows mo also 9 per cent for prepayment of my bills you pay me cash and ill turn this advantage over to you both of us will be better off and tho discrep ancy between city house prices those of the local merchants would largely disappear the local town or village should d its part it should identify itself mora with tho lives of tho farmers upon those whose trade its uxlta it should provide an attracuvo rest room where the farmers wlfo and babies can gather out of the cold or wet or hot sun for an hour or two thoy i town it ahould be equipped so that tho mother can care for uio children and tidy 4ip and refresh herself after a long drivo in the wind and dust wet and cold it ahould have facilities where iho can mako a cup of tea or coffee and some books or mogaxlnes to read farmers und their families should be welcomed and encouraged to take on active part in the social ufa of tho town in a word the formers and their families should be made to fee that they aro welcomo for them selves and qui to opart from the monoj they have to spend the community aspect of tho prob i cm of tho small town la easily the most important aspect vero iho city houses called upon to support every public enterprise in all the towns in which thoy sell goods as all the re tollers do and aro expected to do a considerable hole would be made in their profits and their increased over head expenses would result in in creased selllntf prices what the locil merchant docs for his community in these days should not be overlooked the more the city house is patron ised tho more dliucult it will be to build up a bright attractive prosper ous local ommunlty tho more tho town merchants are patronized the better oervlco thoy will oe ablo to ha greater variety and volume of stocks thoy can tarry the closer they can moke thotr prices because the- overhead
