If THERE is any one who has
gained the idea that the pros
perity of a town, village or city
is guided by the wealth of it's in
habitants they are mistaken.
History shows us that it is the
uniformity with which all citizens
pull together when any impor-
tant duty is to, be accomplished
that builds cities and makes
them prosperous. A man with
a thousand dollars at his COM
mand, backed up with a genuine
interest in the welfare of his
town, can do more for it's up
building than a millionaire who
locks up his money and snaps
his fingers at home progress
