There is one good thing for town at
all times secure all the public gather
ings possible. Get the people together
in some way and make the attraction
strong enough to bring people in. Con-
ventions. lodge meetings, church and
school affairs; anything that will bring
people in is good thing. 1t is much
better than to be going somewhere else
to public gathering. Naturally one
town can't have everything. but the
live city should try to get its share.
