The Gazette and Independent

"A mothers love is indeed the
golden link that binds youth to
age; and he is still but a child,
however time may have furrowed
his cheek, Or silvered his brow
who can yet recall, with a softened
heart, the fond devotion, or the
gentle chidings, Of the best friend
that God ever gives u.s."

Cinnamon still struggle to get into
the United States. They are. willing
to suffer and to pay for the privilege.
It costs them about $3.50 for passage
across the ocean and services Of guide
to show them the weak spot on the
border. Once safely across they get
jobs as cooks, gardeners or laundry
men at $35 to $50 a month, as much as
they would make in a year in China.
They mortgage themselves to refund
the company that finances the adven-
ture. But what If they don't get in
and are sent back to China? All,
there's the rub. for then they are mort
gagged until they can pay back the
whole expense. including return trip,
at Chinese wages. And that ID prac-
tica1ly a mortgage for life! It's awful
to be q Chinese coolie!

The officers and crew of the Spo-

lack of judgment and discipline. Sew

vince him of the necessity for action
If supremacy is to be won, but the diff
ficulty is reached in forcing action.
You can hold meetings, talk things
over and agree upon what should be
done, but the fighting volunteers are
usually few, and the majority are
prone to shift the burden Of work and
worry to other shoulders, forgetting
that united action is essential and
every mans shoulder must be put to
the wheel to insure success.
Carefully assemble and compare your
local advantages. Eliminate the dis
advantages as far as practicable. Con-
slider your resources, bear in mind
present development, determine the
character of development needed and
for which your locality Is best adapted,
then spread the news and tell the
world about it. A city set on hill
cannot be hid, and your community
must not hide its light under bushel.
When in contemplative mood we are
prone to reflect upon piping times of
peace" but if you imagine that these
are days of peace it is because you
cannot or will not hear the roar Of bat
tie. The battle is on, one of the great
est>confiicts in American history-that
wholesome, uplifting, good natured
conflict between American communi-
ties for supremacy.
1t is no ordinary battle, this conflict
between American communities, for,
although contending with one another,
we are at the same time fighting a
common enemy. 1t is legion, with
spies and pickets everywhere. 1t has
three closely allied generals, Apathy,
Lethargy and InactiOn. They are deep
ly and strongly intrenched, they think,
but those trenches are only the ruts
that so often retard, but must never
be allowed to halt, the march of prog
lass. Under the leadership of Enthu-
siasm, Energy and Optimism the enc
my can be routed and the opposition
conquered, and when the smoke of
battle clears away you will find that
you have achieved success and front
rank among progressive American
committees.
The destiny is in your hands. The
responsibility is yours, and the chal-
lenge cannot be evaded VIII you
meet it and succeed or shrink from it

having the recent decis on of TIE u.

MAKE THE COMMUNITY SHINE
Assemble, Compare Local Advantages
and Eliminate the Disadvantages as
Far as PracticabIe-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 a modern plant, equipped with
the best up to date machinery and
producing the best of a needed prod
uct, II 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
filled with the commodity called local
advantages. Is this stock covered
with the dust of years or hidden by a
curtain Of cObwebs, and have it's 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 and 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 commun1-
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-frst, to interest; second, to
convince; third, to force action. Every
citizen worthy the name is interested,
and it is comparatively easy to con-
