the town he lives in. 1t is good
enough to provide home for him
and perhaps a place of business, or
an occupation, but that is forgotten
in the general flow of complaint.

for the betterment of his town. If
he cannot improve property for lack
of means or ownership, he can at

''Tne visitor can't help smiling, but
he feels that the resident has the
right spirit. He is doing the things
which will make good in time. And
even in a small community, where
all are imbued with the same spirit,
wonders are accomplished"
