CHEERING UP A TOWN.

This creed, adopted by it's board of
trade, Is submitted to the citizens OF
Gloucester, Massachusetts, with tho
request that they subscribe TO It:
/ believe in Gloucester, her people
and her interests.
/ believe in her natural beauties
and attractions.
l believe in her fishermen and the
future OF her fisheries
believe in attracting and welcom-
ing SUMNER people.
/ believe in industrial development
fer Gloucester and in pushing for
such advance now.
believe that every dollar spent for
good roads win bring many dollars
worth of taxable property into the
city. Dollars for the mechanics the
hotels and the merchants.
believe that when ] spend a dol
lar out of town that 1 could spend in
Gloucester am doing my city an in-
jury.
1 believe in commencing and not
condemning. If / can only help by
my voice. will give that help or
keep quiet.
l believe in bright future for my
city as L know her illustrious past.
SO believing 1 shall spend my dol
lar In Gloucester. where L may get 1t
back as 1t rolls along.
That isn't bad sort OF creed. It's
something of gospel of cheerful
ness-something that every commune
ity needs. There are too many pes
simists everywhere. Too many knock
and too few boost
Most localities have too many cit
izens who take too narrow views OF
everything. Petty Jealousies creep
in Success of an individual, firm,
or a corporation, however much mer-
tied, often causes envy among those
who have not been successful, but
whose failure may usually be traced
to themselves.
Too many citizens won't let go or
a dollar unless they are assured of
its return with fifty per cent. inter-
est. There's too much waiting for
somebody else to do something-and
then, all too frequently, a criticism OF
the one who does take the initiative
as being over-anxious to get into the
limelight
There are too many who simply
hold on to all they have ana expect
it's value to be enhanced by the en-
terprise of others.
If a city or a community Is to
achieve greatest success and develop
ment there must be a getting togeth-
g" and pulling together of Its peo-
pie. IL men in the same line OF
business, or the same professions, are
meanly jealous of one another and
resort to low down and contemplate
actions on that account. they can't
and won't do good team work to ad-
vance the interests of the community
in which they live.
No city no locality, was ever bene-
fited by those who would seek to
thrive by disparaging others or seek
ing to pull them down.-Mansfield

The heating and power plant OF
this house has a capacity of 100 tons
OF coal every hour; suppose that they
use one-eighth of this capacity twelve
hours per day, they would use 150
tons of coal per day or $4,000 tons
per year, which plus the freight would
cost them at least SO per ton. This
gives us $4,000 more expense We
could go on enumerating these ex.

of electric light, the keeping of a
thousand head of horses, inbound
freight and express, etc, but using
these figures as basis, we would say
very conservative estimate of the
operating expenses of this house
would be at least $20,000,0OO per year

then, with the operating expenses
alone amounting to one-third Of their

that with the other two-thirds they
coud keep dozens of large factories
running, pay salaries of hundreds OF
managers, wages to thousands Of
workmen, control the output Of nu-
merous other factories which have
managers and workmen, rents, taxes
and operating expenses to pay? Does
1t look reasonable with this vast ex-
pense that this house could supply
you with really first-class merchan.

though the girl has been offered
more money elsewhere, she won't
leave Mrs. Smith. The girl does all
