They are leaving'no stones un-
turned to keep up with the pro
cessioa. They are indeed taking
great risks and are experiment
ing for better systems and
cheaper combinations aud larger
business facilities. At.Losan they
haveJust voted 10 expend 5000
in boring for natural gas. At
jackson they contemplate maxi
ing donation Of $4,000 TO get
a large business located at that
place. AT GAINESVILLE they ask
permission 10 issne $40. 900 worth
of bonds for Il similar enterprise.
And thus The live towns are
working 10 win success by de-
serving ii. Some of these efforts
may indeed fail but they show
That Intelligent appreciation OF
existing conditions which not on
" maintains present values but
is also an earnest of future pros
perity.
One Of The things 10 do is TO do
something and TO do il before
the dry rot become chronic. Why
our merchants could sell goods
TO four times as many people as
we have. Our tradesmen could |
Qnadruple their stock of saleable
Wares! Our present banks could |
double up and then quadrupIe |
their volume Of business. Even
our common laborers could !
double up their work If paid fair
rates.
