HOME TRADE FABLE
HOW THE TRANSFORMATION OF
A TOWN WAS EFFECTED.
A STORY WITH A MORAL
One Public Spirited Citizen Who
Realized the Big Possibilities and
Cultivated the Field to Ad-
vantage.

Once upon a time there was a Man,
who in his youth was reared upon a
farm located near a Small Town of
Great Promise. Two weeks in each
year when he was not saving wood,
feeding the stock or picking potatoes,
he was allowed to attend the little red
schoolhouse in the town. BY hard la
Dor during the day, and persistently
reading few old books which were
heirlooms in his family, and each week
absorbing the intelligence contained
in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time
he could mark down his age at 18
years, had accumulated sufficient
knowledge to run away from home.
He wandered to large city and there
his great muscular power assisted to
gain for himself a position as Chief
Scrubber in large store. He had not
acquired the cigarette habit, and his
faithfulness to his scrubbing brush,
and his unwillingness TO know all
about his employers business, soon at
tracted the attention of the Old Man,
and at the end Of a year he was pro-
NOTED to Head Rustler in the shipping
department at the large salary of eight
dollars a week
His disregard for seooting when the
closing time came, and his total lack
of swelled head so pleased the Old
Man that from time to time the ambi-
tious youth was advanced until at the
end of six years he was drawing the
biggest salary paid by the house, and

the Storepeeker, caused Farmers to
bring in tons of butter and hundreds
of thousands of eggs, and chickens
and other produce. The transforma-
tion was quick from a Dead Town to
Lively Small City, A high school
was established, new churches built,

shocked to see an opera house erect

road, which for years had been run
ming 20 miles from the town so
changed its route as to have it on the
main line, so the place had two rail
roads. Enterprising men who wanted
to locate in a Live Town turned their
eyes toward the place. Soon there
was smoke from half dozen big fac
tories, and in five years after the Pub
lic-spirited Citizen had started his
store his old home town has increased
its population 1000 per cent. 1t was
no longer printed in little type on the
maps, but in capital letters.
MORAL-Do not underestimate the
possibilities of your community, or
fail to develop them. No city was
ever made great by its people buying
goods elsewhere.

the law prescribes that they shall be.
