You forget how wide main street looks com- pared to its length and how the false- front buildings crouch low leaving plenty of room for the sky. The town stretches itself along the ground trying to fill up as much of the prairie as it can. Only the grain elevators by the depot stand high and mold the wheat from the flat spreads of fields into unique skyscrapers, How they stand empty waiting for the sum- mer sun to form and ripen the small gold— en wheat kernels which will fill them in the fall. The town is bounded by the highway on one end and the railroad on the other with main street connecting the two. The grain fields push themselves up to these limits and resent the hard paVeo ment, packed earth, buildings, cement sidewalks, and steel rails which build an infertile gap between the strips of land. The sun is just coming up by the time you've driven the thirty miles home from the train. When you get outvofl the can and smell the air it's the kind of smell captured in sheets. when they've. been washed and hung outside on a sunny day. Then the rest of the fanily wakes up and everyone has coffee and talks. Pretty €1.5- Show less
