Everybody thinks he knows how to kcop a town alivo--but how to kill ,a town that's another question. The average man wouldn't know exactly how to go about it. "What do I want to kill a town for, any- way T" ho would ask. Towns are an abnormal excrescence on the body pol itic. Cities and towns are tho breeding grounds of vice nnd crime. They attract all that is ugly and unlovely in communal life. At the same time, they organize and con solidate activities that up lift and refine tho race. They present advantages in cul ture and education which the country cannot supply. Whilo tho country gets you Missing Dry Worker Is Believed Found; Says Was Kidnaped ST, LOUIS, May 38.

The encampment will be held during July. Insurance Commissioner Potts of Illi nois has begun a campaign for a read justment and reduction of flro Insurance rates. He says on investigation has re vealed discrimination against Illinois risks as compared with other western states. He also asserts that the compa nies have been making large profits In this state which they have been using to pay losses In unprofitable states. A re duction on Chicago dwelling rates Is also sought. Flro Insurance companies which suf fered losses on property burned by strik ers or troors during the Colorado mining troubles will probably deny liability, un der thn clause In their policies exempting them from loss caused by riot and insur rection. Thn Rocky Mountain Fuel com pany canceled al Its Insurance two days before the arrival of the troops, as It was understood that the company will seek to hold thn state responsible for the loss of Its property. The Colorado Fuel and Iron Iron company has not carried any Insur ance on Its Colorado plants lor several years. "Talk on Newspaper Advertising" BY TRUMAN A. DeWltfSSE, EUFFALO, N. Y. close to Nature, it lacks the advantages of big libraries, art galleries, schools and highly organized merchan dising. The city is a neces sary evil. It is an evolution from the commercial and so cial necessities of the l'ace. "Therefore," you ask, "What is the use of trying to destroy it!" No use at all. It is best to keep it alive with honest enterprise, social uplift and religious nnd educational activity. But it is very easy to kill a town, and when you see how easy it is to kill it you will know how to keep it alive. Here is a woman who gets the "catalogue habit." She falls a vietinrto the lure of printers' ink. Tho picture of a rug or piece of furniture looks so much more attrac tive in the catalogue than it does in the local store in her own town. One of these pictures caught her eye and she sent in an order. It was a novel experience this shopping by mail.

The news of the "bargain" spread from one home to another until the wliole com munity was infected. There is a strange fascination about "long distance shop ping" which no woman wants to enjoy alone. Con nections with catalogue houses soon were estab lished by a hundred women. Tho genn spread with great rapidity and soon put a crimp in the business of every merchant in town. A constant stream of money going out to mail-order houses year after year soon sapped the life blood of the town. And this woman who inoculated here neighbors with the catalogue habit had no thought of killing her town. She wonders why her boys finally left the town and yielded to the lure of the big city and its sky-scraper mail-order houses. Respons ibility for the decay of her own community and for the loss of her boys is farthest from her thoughts. ( There is just one cure for Field News J Oompany Phone Doug. 29 KENNEDY Phone Douglas T. the catalogue germ that worms its way with serpen tine secrecy into the brain of a community and that is newspaper advertising. Surely the merchant can print just as attractive pic tures as the mail-order houses can print in their catalogues. Surely the local merchant can describe his wares just as convincingly as they are described in a catalogue. If he can't he should employ an expert a man who can combine the lure of wordcraft with the skill of a salesman. With printers' ink he can pull a town out of the "slough of despond." He can match the personality, acquaint ance and reputation of the local merchant against the lure of long-distance shop ping. The right kind of newspaper advertising will stop the ravages of the cata logue house and will keep at home the brain and brawn and enterprise that are ne cessary to keep a town from falling into decay.
