THE BOOSTING OF A CITY
A Letter, In Response to An Inquiry Telling What
the Commercial Club of Another City is Doi,q.

Editor Times Republican: Those
things which will interest one COM
munity may not be of concern to an
other community. What is needed
here, may not be needed there. Boost
ing is not an exact science, nor are.
there certain lines of procedure or rules
of practice to be employed in every
effort Burlington's methods seem to be
correct for Burlington. They may be
Of no. use in Marshalltown.
Boosting Is the creation of an atmos-
p1ere Of home pride, home confidence
and home energy.
Burlington's business organization,
the Commercial Exchange, holds a
noon day luncheon every Monday, at
tended by three or four score of its
members, Following the dinner, atten-
ton is given TO speakers WHO nave pre-
pared to discuss some matter Of COM
munity interest. Result IS the security
of united movement and united effort.
United effort always succeeds if it is
a sensible effort as we'll.
In Burlington the past year has been
prolific with accomplishment. A stock
company has been organized, and a
sufficient amount of stock sold to make
possible the erection of the finest hotel
in Iowa, work on which will begin in
the spring. It will be fireproof
structure Of seven or eight stories, and
will represent an investment, when
ready for public use. OF $4,000 for
real estate, $225,0oo for building, and
$50. 900 for furnishings and equipment.
New passenger trains have been se-
cured to bring trads from adjacent
territory into the city, and other trains
schedules have been changed SO as to
better accommodate the public. A
trade-at-home movement has been
started and its constant agitation IS
educating the population Of Burlington
to sensible action In all things.
BY reason Of the variety Of interests
which come into contact thru the ex-
change, the particular wants OF many
concerns are Iva iiisti and sa tisfieq po-
sitions are filled with men who can fill
them, and many little adjustments
! brought about.

HAVE PROPER sELF-REsPECT,
One Of the Greatest Mistakes Possible
to Make 10 That Of Holding
Oneself Too Cheap.

Do not hold yourself too cheap. II
you do not think well Of yourself 9TH
ers are not likely to think much of
you. You are usually taken at your
own value. By this is not meant a
foolish self-conceit, but a proper self
respect.
Have a regard for the esteem of
those whose opinion is worth having.
No one can be admired by all. He
who has no enemies may doubt wheth-
er he has real friends. Try to win
the regard of the good and the wise;
II the foolish take offense pass 1t by.
: Think too well of yourself to stoop
to anything coarse. mean or untrue.
However humble your station in life
may be, you may think yourself wor-
thy only of that which is good and
true. To be genuine puts you on
high level. Whatever your purse, you
may be rich in character. Think your
self worthy Of the best to which you
can attain. Aim for the highest you
see, and should you fail to reach It,
you will still be higher than If your
aim had been low.

REPORT SEEING SEA SERPENT.
Fishermen, Residents Of . "Dry"
Town, Declare They Saw Reptile
in the Pacific.

Guy Griffith, James Harvey and
three other fishermen who were out in
the launch Reta, report that when Is
miles of the coast they sighted q sea
serpent 40 feet long, with brown
head as big around as a small barrel
and eyes as large as a mans fist. The
serpent is said to have moved its head
from side to side as a snake does, and
had q big dorsal fin Is feet back of
the head.
The fishermen say the same monster
has been reported within the last few
months near the Philippines and
along the northern coast of this coun-
try.
They furthermore aver that heavy
sinker, which one Of the five threw at
the sea serpent as the boat was pull
ing, away from the unsafe neighbor-
hood. was caught in the creatures
mouth and spit back with such force
as to make a deep dent in the fish box
on deck.

1t up SO that 1t would float. Taking a
hitch about q convenient post, the
rope was Stacked and run through a
pulley block at the mast head to re-
lieve the strain of raising the great
body. The winch was set in motion
and for Is minutes nothing was heard
save the monotonous grind as fathom
after fathom Of line was wound in.
When the body was brought alongside
the lobes of the flukes were cut OF
and lifted to the deck. Then q long
coil Of small rubber hose, one end of
which was attached to q pump and
the other to hollow. spear-pointed
tube of steel with perforations along
its entire length. was brought into
play. The spear was jabbed well down
into the whales side, the air pump
started and the body slowly filled with
air. When inflated sufficiently to keep
1t afloat the tube was withdrawn, the
incision plugged with oakum and the
chains cast of. A buoy with q nag
was then attached to the carcass and
the whole set adrift to be picked up at
the end of the days hunting.-Popular

An Instantaneou. Cure.

During the cattle plague of 1866 in
England farmer who had lost a num-
Der of his cows grew so depressed that
he fully persuaded himself he had al
SO contracted the disease. The medi-
cal man whom he consulted tried in
vain to laugh him out of his fears,
but subsequently. being fond of a
joke, pretended to agree with the pa
tents views. and solemnly told him
il he would attend to his instructions
he would be cured. He then gave
the farmer q prescription. which he
directed should be taken to a neigh
boring druggist, but when the latter
opened the envelope and read the con-
tents he was as much startled as the
farmer. For the prescription was as
follows: This man has the cattle
plague. Take him into the backyard
and shoot him, according to act of
parliament" Needless to say, the
cure was instantaneous.

Shame upon us for 1t, too! God
give us more dreamers. I pray; more
of those whose inner eye is free of
cataract. We need them here in Amer
lea to-day; we are too practical a peo-

have fought an aging battle for the
supremacy of a great continent We
have come up out Of the struggle with
