apparatus the town recently bought,
and that the members can handle fire
like veterans when one occurs. We
take this for granted because they have
not had one practice since the company

In order to boom place 1t is not only
necessary to write and talk about it,
but endeavors must also be made to
beautify it and make it attractive
This can be done to a certain extent by
making street improvements. Every
man is not expected to build a palatial
mansion, nor individually start fac
tory. but you can speak kindly Of your
neighbors. Make strangers feel at
home when they come to your town,
and sustain public improvements, even
if they do not benefit you at the pres
ent. Repair your sidewalks and your
fences, trim your trees and paint your
houses. The great thing is to employ
some one to do something, if it only be
to clean up around your dwelling, dig
or plant gardens, plant trees; all these
are attractive and enticing to the
stranger. 1t is the duty of every citl-
zen to assist in the building up OF the
town in which ne lives. A steady and
harmonious pull by all the citizens is
what makes villages, towns and cites.
