BOOST YOUR OwN TOWN

More towns die for lack OF conf
dence on the part OF the business
men and lack OF public spirit than
any other cause. When a man in
search OF a home or a business
location goes into a town and finds
ever ything brim full OF hope and
enthusiasm OF the prospects OF the
place and all earnestly at work to
build il up he soon becomes inn
bued with the same spirit, and as
q result he drives down stakes and
goes to work with the same inter-
est. When, however, he goes into
a town where everyone expresses
doubt and apprehension for the
future prosperity OF the place,
moping about and indulging in
mournfui complaints, be naturally
feels that IL is no place Tor him,
and he at once shakes the dust from
his feet while he pulls out with all
possible speed for some other place.
Consequently, try to make a live,
enterprising town out oil the town
in which you live. When you are
working for your town YOU are ac-
complishing all the more Tor your
self.-Las Vegas Optic.
This is the right sort Of senti-
ment for a newspaper TO propa-
gate. II our newspapers would
talk a little bit more about local
conditions, advertisers would ge,
more for the money e aside Tor
the purpose. The dissemination
OF news is the province OF a news.
paper, as we understand il, and
one that insists on bumps and
personalities is a detriment, and
should receive nothing more than
il merits from the business interests
OF the town il aficts. Anywhere
a live and breezy newspaper exists,
il goes without saying, that there
are live wires connected with the
business interests OF the commun-
ity. and business men are not found
whiting or talking about dull
times. A newspaper simply re-
fleets the life and business condi'
tons Of the community where it is
published, and no matter what the
amount OF other advertising me-
diums, the newspaper is the court
OF final resort for the homeseeker
and investor, who carefully scan its
columns tor information wanted
about the locality sought.
II is just as true that a good
town or prosperous city can't ex-
list without a wideawake newspaper
as II is, that the newspaper can't
prosper without such a town or
city. The two 20 hand in hand
and their welfare is mutual.
