HELPING ONES HOME TOWN.

That kind of public spirit which ex.
presses itself through the practice of
speaking we'll of ones home town or
city has also a tendency TO do things
at home for its development and gen
eral welfare The man who speaks
well OF his town when he goes among
outsiders Is usually the man who does
something for the town ar home and
for whom the town is doing some
Thing. The man who is always speak
ing disparagingly of his town among
outsiders is as rule the man who not
only does little for his town at home
but does little for himself as well.
People who have never been to town
judge II largely by what its own peo
Pile say about t.
No town or city was ever built mp by
eroakers On the other hand many
towns and cities have been built mp by
residents who bring capital and desir-
able hotne-seekers to them through
the practice of saying favorable things
about them This practice makes a
good impression upon outsiders. It
shows enterprise and faith in ones
home town, and II is well known that
outsiders Judge a town largely by the
judge ii largely by what its own peo-
pie.
