VII, She had sought to be definite in analyzing the surface ugliness of the Gopher Prairies, She asserted that it is a mater of universal similarity; of fiimei of construction, so that the towns resemble frontier camps; of neglect of natural advantages, so that the hills are covered with brush, the lakes shut off by railroads, and TO REMOVE BAD COLD Medicine Not Necessary-- The Bal- samic Vapor of "Catarrhozone' When Inhaled Quickly Dispels Colds.

Nine-tenths of the American towns are so alike that it is the completest boredom to wan- der from one to anothed. Always, west of Pittsburg, and often, east of it, there is the same lumber yard, the same railroad station, the same Ford garage, the same creamery, the same box-like houses and two-story shops. The new, more conscious houses are alike in their very attempts at diver- sity: the same bungalows, the same square houses of stucco or tapestry brick, The shops show the same standardized, nationally advertised wares; the newspapers of sections three thousand miles apart have the same "syndicated features"; the boy in Arkansas displays just a flamboy- ant ready-made suit as is found on just such a boy in Delaware, both of them iterate the same slang phrases from the same sportingypages, and if one of them Is in college and the other is a barber, no one may sur- mise which is which. If Kennicott were snatched from Gopher Prairie and instantly con- veyed to a town leagues away, he would not realize it. He would go down apparently the seme Main Street (almost certainly it would be called Main Street); in the same drug store he would see the same young man serving the same young woman with the same magazine and phonograph records under her arm. Not till be had climbed to his office | and found another sign on the door, another Dr. Kennicott inside, would he understand that something cur- fous bad presumably happened. Finally, behind her comments, Carol saw the fact that the prairie towns no more exist to serve the farmers who are their reason of ex- istence than do the groat caphals; they exist to fattén on the farmers, to provide for the townsmen large motors and social preferment; and, unlike the capitals, they do not give to the distriot in return for usury a jesitic stately and permanent center, but the civilisation: only this ragged camp.
