Boom Your own Town.

In recent speech Governor Hughes
referred to the constant inquiry Of re-
csption committees and prominent
citizens of how he liked their town,
and he said 1t made deep impression on
him. It showed him that the people
had civic pride and enthusiasm. and his
remark IL worthy Of consideration.
Good citizens always have good word
for their towns. They known it's good
points, and If there are other peculiar
tiles, they do not represent them.
The grumber who knows all the bad
features of town and men tions them
at every opportunity is not only poor
citizen, but he is one that does nothing
to improve the town he lives in. 1t is
good enough to provide home for him
and perhaps place of business, or an
occupation, but that is forgotten in the
general flow of complaint.
Every resident can do something for
the betterment of his town. If he can
not improve property for lack of means
or ownership, he can at least keep his
own home neat and clean. He can have
a clean yard, grass plot or something
to add to the appearance of the place.
and above all he can say good word for
the place at every opportunity.
The grumbler should take trip out
west and hear the boomers talk about
their town. 1t may be only string of
shacks and shanties, the most preten-
tious being one story high with dash
board front, but the enthusiastic citizen
will tell you how long it is since
the first settler located and how
the place is growing He will
point out the places which have
acquired local fame or notoriety, will
tell of the prospects, of the things they
are going to have and the room for ex-
pansion, which is bounded by the hori-
zon. 1t is MT New York, he will say,
but come back in ten years and we will
show you town that won't be hurt by
comparison with any city on the foot
stool.
The visitor can't help smiling, but he
feels that the resident has the right
spirit. He is doing the things that will
make good in time. And even in a
small community, where all are imbued
with the spirit, wonders are accomp-
lished.
How much better this spirit is than
that of the grumbler, who is sure that
his town was the last place made, and
was of the leavings. How much better
it would be for the grumbler to ex-
anime his home and place of business
to see if he is not contributing his bit
to make his home town look cheap and
untidy. If every grumbler should take
time to clean up his own surroundings
the town would look better at once
and the new interest in it that would be
bred Of a conscious effort to improve
it, even in small way would make the
grumbler better neighbor and bet
ter citizen.
