NOW COME ON,
EVERYBODY;
GET BUSY.
Summers Past, 'Lection's Over,
Panic's Over, It's Time For a
Long, Strong Pull
And RESULTS Will FOLLOW.

The time is opportune, ripe, now for
everybody to shake off his lethargy and
get down to solid business. The tourists
are coming in force and all is not in
readiness.
Look about you and see what can be
done to improve, to beautify and make
attractive to the visitor the things you
control. What about those broken
palmetto fans which have fallen in your
yard, those punches of Spanish moss
lying i'll a clump near your front en-
trance, those scraps of paper which
have been dropped on your psrkage
and so ON through the list.
Il IS activity that brings happiness,
work that wings the hour, quickens
the heart beat and makes you self
respecting and satisfied; inactivity
brings sluggishness, illness and finally
death. Work strengthens the mind as
well as the body. tunes the voice,
brightens the eye, quickens the pulse
and buovs the soul.
In doing more one is more, expands
into larger, happier life, and is rewarded
| in proportion to the effort Work is the
antithcsis of death, and since it is uni
versalIy conceded that activity and
good deeds for others are the concomit-
ants of health and happiness why not
brighten up and brace up for this glad
season opening SO auspiciously? Drop
that scowl, shake off that crouch, forget
your nerves, cultivate your resibles and
tone down your vocal cords.
The tourist season of '0S-9 is on. and
it rests largely with Daytonians what
/ the season shall be, and what the future
shall be. A broad, open, warm, smiling
policy with everything spick and span,
and kept that way, will win. First i'm
pressions are the lasting ones; see to it
that strangers are favorably impressed.
