THH way to build up a town is to
believe in it-become inspired with
faith that there is n future for il.
and every citizen TO lend a helping
hand in making it what it ought to
be. This, in brief, is local public

make present sacrifice in the faith
that 1t will made the town in which
we live, in some way better in the
future

quired a decided liking for beer.

clean.
