Nothing Like Enthusiasm

There is nothing like enthusi-
asm. It's worth as much to a
town or community as money.
Without it nothing worth while
can be accomplished. The man
who does not take a lively interest
in his work or business has no
license to be successful. Hustlers
are admirable. They get there
because people like them aud help
them. It is no trouble for the
man who is sincere and enthusiast
tic 70 get the support and coop
Grafton of his fellow-townsmen IN
any worthy enterprise. In the
first place, they know he means
business. They also know that
his ardent zeal will carry him
through. They are taking no
chances. One good lively pusher
will do more to build up and adj
vance a community than a dozen
pessimistic capitalists.
Money is not the only power.
There is such a thing as "git up
and git"
