A small industry in a town may not
appear to be much but by proper nurs'
ing it may develop into an enterprise
of national Importance. In every
manufacturing undertaking there is a
turning point that means failure or
success Each small industry that is
established in a town should receive
the most careful attention of the
towns-people and be given the support
that it should have in order to make it
successful.

tors in the development of resources
of small towns. To the farmer the
commercial club of the home town is
as important as it is to those residing
within the limits of the town. 1t is
the aim of the club to improve the
town and in doing SO it must benefit
the surrounding country. Thus we
see plainly the reason why the pro.
gressive farmer should take as much
interest in the town commercial club
as if he were a resident of the town.

but is coming along all right.

There is no more important matter to
