Push Your Town.

The Baltimore Manufacturer Record
gives this timely and practical advice to
the people who would see their towns ad-
vance in prosperity, population, and gen.
ersl progress
Talk up your town. Never run 1t down.
Speak kindly and encouragingly of its
location, resources, advantages and pros
poets. Capital flies high over a place
that is unappreciated. criticised, and cried
down by its own people. Bees won't live
in hive with quarrelsome, lazy drones.
Work for your town. Whether rich or
poor, work. When the world knows that
the people of town are working It will
come TO the rescue and give mighty lift
for the upbuilding and development of
that section. In concentrated home effort
alone is success assured.
Hold mp your town. However little,
help. A town cannot be prosperous If
the people are content to fold their hands
and wait for outside capital 10 come their
way, take hold of and build up their en-
terprises. Both God and man help those
who help themselves.
or little, invest. Identify your interests
with those of your neighborhood by
placing your dollars along side of his,
thus mutually assisting in the material
growth Of your town.
Don't expect strangers to put their
money and brains and energy in the en-
terDrises that the citizens Of their own
refuse to aid. The world is not 80 philan-
thropic as that. Home is the best place
to exercise abundant charity and pros
perity.

from specially mentioning little

little Beatrice lleermans also exhib-

actress. 1t would seem that much

required to get such small children
to completely enter into the spirit
of the acting rs to exhibit the gest-
ures and even facial expression so
we'll. This was the first public APP
pearance of the company out side

that the ice is broken and they have
made such brilliant start they
should go out to some of the other
