MEYER AGAIN"

1t was the day after the Fourth and
tn local people were feeling good over
iss success, pattiug themselves on the
back for the way "we" handled the
event and taking that enthusiastic
interest in things that the public
usually does after success has been
achieved and there is no more work to
| do.
But In the rear of we'll known local
place that morning half dozen OF the
"Old Guard" of the Association were
wearily stretched on the leather chairs,
talking it over and Strengthening the
accounts. They had borne the brunt of
the work the day before, and of the
work of advertising IL before that; they
had seen their work come within an ace
OF failure two days before through the
unprincipled refusal of the company
engaged as an attraction to fulfill its
contract; they had spent many hours
worrying over the way to secure new
attractions and so keep faith with the
people, and what hurt most of all, they
had heard people who should have
known better, intimate that they were
simply fakirs deliberately deceiving the
people by advertising an attraction they
never had. And now it was over and
everybody satisfied-but they were
weary and tired and almost disgusted.
"Never again" groaned one, and at
the moment it was the heartfelt senti-
ment of all.
We some times wonder II the people
OF town realize the debt they owe to the
comparatively little group Of men who,
working together under the name of
the Association, have done more to
keep Reynoldsville on the map during
recent years than any other force in
town.
Without any hope of reward other
than that which will come with the
towns continued prosperity, they have
kept unweariedly plugging" along,
working on every industrial proposition
that develops, however forlorn the
chance, keeping Reynoldsville in the
peoples eye on every gala accession,
lending frequent assistance to home
institutions asking for it, trying to
influence railroad projects that will take
years to develop, interesting outside
companies in the few remaining re-
sources, notably the clay and coal, and
with an eye always open for the good of
the old town. Busy always, with so
little encouragement, what wonder If
they sometimes grow weary and groan,
"Never again."
But these men are made of the right
stuff and when the WEAKNESS of the last
event is over. and the town again needs
men to look after its welfare, you will
find them In the front 'once again"

DID 1T PAY?

Does it pay to celebrate the Fourth in
Reynoldsville?
When the committee from the
Business Mems Association recently
solicited money enough to defray
expenses incident to securing attract
ions for the Fourth, they were met all
too often with the statement that the
celebration meant nothing to the
business men or town and that 1t
mattered little whether it was held or
not.
The celebration cost between six and
seven hundred dollars, fully half OF
which was spent right in the town and
county for advertising and materials.
The day after the Fourth over
FORTY-FIvE THOUSAND DOL
LARS WAS DEPOSITED IN THE
THREE REYNOLDSVILLE BANKS.
Did the celebration pay?
And that sum does not by any means
represent the total that was taken in by
local business men on the Fourth.
Probably third more was deposited
within the following two days.
That is the financial side only, In
addition the celebration gave the town
wide spread advertising for its public
spirit in celebrating while nearly all
other towns in the section lay dormant
1t brought here thousands who will
remember the town kindly and return
again during the year with resultant
good to our business men. Last, but
fully as important, it kept in Reynolds
vile many hundred dollars that would
have been spent elsewhere in the
absence OF celebration here.
In the face of all these facts will local
business or professional men eyer again
have the, nerve to beg off from con-
tribu ting on the ground that celebra-
tion means nothing to the town?

THE POSTPONER.

The world is full OF postponers-pro-
crastinators who put off doing the thing
at the time they think of 1t, and keep
right on putting 1t off and finally never
do it. Along the pathway OF life the
postponers are strewn like driftwood on
the strand. They constitute the worlds
failures-the junk that has pecome rust
ed and corroded for lack of use. Some
acquire tha habits OF the postponer be-
cause they have not enough to do to
develop energy. Plenty Of work engen.
ders activity, and spells achievement
it is surprising that SO many young men
contract the habit OF the postponer.
They should be so full Of ginger and en-
ergy that nothing can influence them
to postpone the performance OF duty.
Men stand hesitating about entering up
on an enterprise. AS they stand still
conservatism grows and finally they re-
fuse to make plunge. In driving
through the country one can discov-
er which farmer is a postponer and
which is the man who does it at the time
he thinks of it, The postponer's garden is
full OF weeds, his fences are down, his
wagons and farming implements are
standing out of doors, the pigs are proba-
bly, roofing up the lawn, because of post
ponement in repairing the pen, and
something suggestive of slovenliness is
everywhere apparent about the place.
And it is the same with others. The
man who puts off until tomorrow what
should be done to-day will find some
thing on the morrow to put off until the
next day, and so his troubles multiply
and compound until the case becomes
absolutely hopeless. Don't be post
poner.

1t is announced from Ridgway that
Hyde-Murphy Co., have again changed
tn cir plans and will rebuild on the old
site at Ridgway. Reynoldsville, in
common with many other towns in this
sec tion, made strenuous efforts to in
terest the Hyde-Murphy people, but it
is safe to say that, falling to land the
big concern for ourselves, there is no
town in the state our people would
rather see get it better than Ridgway.
It's removal from that pretty little place
would seriously lnjure the towns
prosperity.

BACKS UP RAKoW.

Equity Farm Journal: Our we'll
known Carl F. Krakow is getting a lit
tie pounding, friendly and otherwise,
for taking an interest in politics,
There are some people who seem to
think that when a member joins the
American Society Of Equity of the
farmers union this should immediate
" act like a muzzle upon his right to
take any part in politics. If Mr..
Rakow, or anyone else. connected with
the American Society Of Equity,
makes use of Official positions and un-
dertakes to act in the name of the
society as such and thereby influences
or tries to influence votes for or
against any other matter that may be
submitted to the voters for decision,
then such a person has misused his
office and taken unfair advantage of
the society.
But this must not be carried so far
as to prevent one who Is member or
even an officer in any farmers or
ganization, from taking an active in
terest in political matters as an in
diyidual citizen just the same as If
he was not a member of the society.
ORGANIZATIONS as organizations do not
20 into politics and cannot rightfully
be accused OF doing so unless by
resolution or otherwise it be deter
mined to do that thing, and the Of
flcers be instructed to proceed in ac-
ccrdance Herewith.
Rakow has done more to promote
the terminal elevator project in the
Northwest than any other person and
the loyal workers in the ranks of the
society will not stand for any unfair
criticism of the good old Dutchman.
He may make mistakes, but so does
everybody else that does anything at
all. Those who don't do anything are
not counted in this.
