10 Build a TONn.
A Lswton Editor Tells How it is
Done.

The Lawton New-Republican Of
last week published the following
containing ideas and hints which
may be read with profit by many
Of our citizens.
There are some things not gem
.erally appreciated by psople that
tend farther than anything else to
build city.
When people SO far forget self
as to remember that the prosperity
Of othershelps make town good
place to live III and do business in,
a long step is taken in the di-
rection Of building a city. When
people forget this principle and.
send to Chicago to buy for ninety
cents what they could purchase at
home for a dollar long step is
taken III the direction Of making a
village.
A thing that will do more than
bonus to draw capital to a place
bis knowledge that a town is clanish
SO to speak; that its business men
pull together unselfshly for the
common good; that they spend
their money at home are pro-
tectionists in the sense that they
will pay tariff on home goods in
order to build up the infant in
dustries in the town.
There are men,in every town who
are short sighted and 50 lacking
in public spirit that they don t
recognize these facts and i is only
a question Of time when they are
out of business, Either they are
80 many thstthe town becomes
village and they are weeded out o.
they are so few that the city be
comes too big for them and they
are eliminated.
But if the majority Of business
men Of the towncould get togeth
er and pull together for the com
mon good, if they are willing (
build up the town by encouraging
home enterprises even at a smal
financial sacrifice and if they d
this cheerfully and without knock
ing. because they realize that It is
for their ultimate interest, thai
I.awton would soon be in line foi
enterprises that go to make up
large and progressive commercls
center.

night Nancy took 1t to bed with her
carefully closing its eyes before tn,
| light was turned out. One day the doll
as dolls from time immemorial have
been known to do. met with an acci.
dent which placed the eye shutting
mechanism out of business and left Il
with not only widely and permanently
opened optics, but badly damaged ones
as well. At intervals during the re-
mainder Of the day Nancy pleaded to
have her dolly cured" but nothing
was successful. At bedtime when she
had donned her nlghtdress and started
for her little bed her mother saw she
had forgotten her adored doll and re-
minded her of It, saying:
But, Mamie you've forgotten your
baby. She won't be able to sleep un.

usual"
To her mothers amused astonlsh.

look over her shoulder at the doll, re-
cumbent on chair, and said
"Oh, what's the use? She can't sleep
anyway. Who ever heard Of anybody
