Wealth Is actually Increasing faster lu the rural districts than In the titles. And the Amerlcun funner and bis fondly are no longer sutisfied to exist on the very barest necessities of life. They are buying luxuries and conveniences In large quantities. The Introduction of electricity alone Into farming communities Is creating a tremendous demand for electric churus, washers. Irons, fans and vacuum Water system, porcelain sinks, wall cleaners. pnjier, paint and varnish, butter bouse furnishings these are only a few of the things thut are selling heavily In the rural districts. An expert lias figured that the American farm market ims a wealth of fbO.OOO, 000.000. Iart of that market Is around you. The chain stores are spreading out from the cities. The mull order houses have secured quite a Imld on the farmer's trade. But If you decide to build up a- business lo your community you need not worry over their competition. The mull order houses give no better values than It Is possible for a local merchnut to give. And a imm or woman always prefers to trade ifclth a friend whenever thut Is possible. The young nmn with a capacity for friendship and a goodly share of brains ami energy has every assurance of success In small towu merchandising.

There were half a dozen men ahead of him in the line for promotion, anj the best thut he could hoie for was an assistant editorship In about ten years. When ills vacation period rolled around, he made a trip through the rural districts of his state. He did not return to the city. For In a little town he found the subject of many dayn dreams a country newspaper for sale. And Into It he put every cent that he had managed to scrape together on his city Job. Not a very promising buby," you any. But Jim Ingalls had a vision of possibilities. The town was in the heart of a prosperous farming region that was well populated. Most of the farmers hud a big city dully delivered at their gates. There was a growing community spirit among the county dwellers. Jim saw the need for u real community uevvspaper.
