NSsenple, compare Local advantages
and Eliminate the Disadvantages as
Far as Praotieable-Treat Town as
You Would Your Own Business.
To promote successfully and solve
the problem of local development each
one must consider it as he would his
individual business. says w. Chum,
editor of Town Development What
would it profit a manufacturer to
erect modern plant, equipped with
the best up to date machinery and
producing the best of needed prod
uct, if he stored it in his warehouse
and let it go at that?
The community has something to
sell, vacant building lots for houses,
stores, warehouses or industrial plants
or similar plants for rent or sale;
merchants and manufacturers to be
patronized and professional citizens to
consult and a destiny TO determine.
The shelves of the local wareroom are
filed with the commodity called local
advantages. Is this stock covered
with the dust of years or hidden by
curtain of cobwebs, and have its own
ers forgotten their warehouse and itS
salable contents?
In these modern days of keen civic
competition the handle of the big
front door of that warehouse must be
polished tnd the dust and cobwebs
banished and the world advised of the
quality, nature and utility of these
wares by advertising and exploiting
them as we do in private business.
for what is true of it is equally and in
greater degree true of the communi-
tvs interest. for without active CO.
operation neither can thrive; hence
the campaign of local promotion and
development is no longer optional.
There are three essentials to mental
activity-firSt, to interest; second, to
convince; third, to force action. Every
citizen worthy the name is interested.

Grand Forks to Have Water Filtered

The new rapid sand filter which
has been in the course of construction
since early last fall for the city of
Grand Forks, n. d., has been com.
pleted, and official tests are now in op-
Grafton. 1t is expected that the city
will accept the plant, and the citizens
will again have pure drinking water
after being without it for more than
four months.

LOUISA ALCOTT MEMORIAL.
The Concord Woman's Club Heads the
Movement.

Movement.
Orchard House. formerly the home
of Louisa NJ. Alcott. stands today un-
occupied and in bad condition.
The Concord Woman's club. through
the interest and generosity of one of
it's members, has been given an op-
portunity to purchase this house at a
reasonable figure for the purpose of
opening It TO visitors and maintaining
il as a permanent memorial to Miss
Alcott.
In this house Little Women" was
written, and little paintings and
sketches by Amy may still be seen
upon the woodwork in some of the
rooms. The house is almost unchang-
ed in its general features, but now so
desolate it is a pathetic sight to every
one who has loved Louisa Alcott's
stories and the characters she created.
Miss Alcott's stories and characters
have given pleasure and had a great
and wholesome influence on almost
every girl who has lived In the last
forty years. and 1t is believed that
many people the country over will be
interested to contribute toward the
preservation of this Alcott home. The
house and sufficient land about it can
be bought and put in order for $4,000.
If this sum can be raised the house
will be repaired and placed in the
charge of permanent organization.
which will maintain 1t as an Alcott
memorial. The Concord Woman's
club appeals to all lovers of Miss AL
colt to help by contributions, large or
small. Contributions may be sent to
