It is advocated because every citizen of a town is to a certain extent dependent upon every other citizen for his own prosperity. Business men are sometimes ai greatly at fault as,anyone else in the matter of out-of-town trading. If the shoe dealer sends away for his atttomobile tires, and the automo- bile dealer sends away for his furniture, and the furniture man sends away for his clothing, and so on, how can they all expect to build local prosperity?

He was a victim to his own writing when he wrote at the age of 37 years and 7 months: “Q why is worth so short of date, — Villians ripen gray with time.” No poet of any age or nation is more grapie than Burns. | A single phrase depicts a whole subject.
