SYMPOSIUM ON BOOSTING"


enterprise more than another and as soon as it
is ascertained what would be the best for the
growth and prosperity of the place the. citizens
should take hold and push matters for all they
are worth The newspaper cannot do it alone.
But one man a newspaper with the help OF
wde-awake make big difference in
town. Every one who succeeds in town is
help to it, The more money he makes if he
spends it the better for the community. The
larger business he builds up the he ad
vertises, the more attention is called to town.
A we'll advertised business means a we'll ad-
vertised town and is of interest to all.-Grante
Falls Tribune.
One of the best things man can do is to
boost for his home town. Help your fellows in
their business and you help your town; knock
them and you hurt not only your town but your
own business And yet, there are some people
so short sighted they cannot see it. If you've
been knocker, turn a new leaf and from
now on be enthusiastic booster, both for your
town and for every legitimate interest in it.
Sank Centre Herald.
We owe it to the community in which we
live to do everything can in every way pos
bors' prosperity means great deal more to US
than someone's who lives elsewhere. Wei
should bear this in mind in buying our goods.
We can afford to pay our home man firm price
for his wares rather than send our money
away, knowing as we do that every dollar our
own citizen makes will help i'll sustaining our
schools, churches and public institutions It
pays richly to patronze home industry.-Elbow

Dead men are only fit to inhabit cemeter les.
If they decently dead, dead all over, we
tenderly lay them away in the sleep of the
tomb; but if they are dead to all the enterprise
out of the narrow plane of their interests
and yet persist in walking around, moving
their dry bones, calloused hearts and consci-
ences where real business is wont to throb and
pulse with vigor, they only like the drone
bees-in the way until they stung to death
and dragged outside the hive of legitimate in
dustry. Twenty real live are worth more
to the public generally than round full thou
sand of useless material that lies around like
rubbish in rising stream that is aching and
foaming to turn mills and factories. Yes, live
men bless, and dead men curse town.-Ex. -"
Encourage every home enterprise. Take
an interest in every industry, invest literally in
the stock of faith and good will and distribute
it all your city, in every factory every work
shop, every business house. 1t will pay you
large dividends, and will cost very little. It
will always be above par. Buy home made
goods. Ask your merchants for them. Wear
home made garments, eat home made articles
of food, sleep on home made beds, read home
spend is only loaned. It will come back to you
again with interest. Praise up your city
don't run it down. Stand by your merchants
and manufacturers-they the bone and
sinew of your municipal structure Stand by
your churches and your schools-they are the
hopes of your future. Stand by your press-it
is the tireless sentinel that guards your in
terest.-Ex.
That man is not necessarily "knocker"
who finds fault with certain conditions exist
ing in the town in which he lives. So far from
being one of that class he may be doing the
place good service. This is assuredly the fact
if he wisely and persistently strikes at evils
which lower the moral tone and make the town
a less desirable place in which to live. It re-
quires no argument to prove that the best in.
terests Of community never be advanced
by anything that breeds disrespect for law and
order, and that weakens the moral and social
fibre of its citizens.-Clinton Advocate.
