whether it be in its own town
and immediate vicinity, or in
other towns and sections of the
country. Therefore it is with
pleasure it notes the evidences
of activity and determination
to do things which are so man
ifest in our neighboring town OF
Sites.
Recently cooperative cream
cry was launched by the enter
prising citizens of the town and
surrounding country, which when
thoroughly equipped and fully
under Roadway, will mean the ma

has been recorded; it will put
hundreds of dollars into circula-
ton in addition to what has be-
fore been considered sufficient to
keep business moving along after
a fashion at least; that means
much easier times both for mer-
chant and farmer, in fact for
everybody.
Say you add $40, 500 or $50 a
month in ready cash to the in
come each of from 300 to 500 cit
liens in small area or commun-
ity, what effect is that going to

If man does not have money
he cannot spend it; if he does
have it he can, and he will
spend more or less of it, no mat

he may be, and everybody else
IN the community is benefited
just that much by his having it.
just these little amounts of
ready cash turned loose in a COM
munity in addition to the sums
which have been before required
to keep things going, is what
spells prosperity for a community
and contentment and satisfaction
for the people.
When long headed, enterpris-
ing, public spirited men in a
community lay down their little
differences and petty jealousies
and get together and plan end
work like brothers and friends
to accomplish such things for the
betterment of the people, that is
what is known as building up
a community But when they
nurse their sore feelings over
imaginary wrongs or differences,
and parade their petty jealousies,

there is sufficient number of that

and grow.
Sites may have its knockers, ;
but it evidently does not have
them in sufficient numbers to
block the game"
Recently that town offered
city bonds for sale to the amount
of $4,000 for the installation of a
water system. The bonds failed
to find a buyer, but the cit
liens did not quit. They worked
up an interest with men of means
and will try it again this week,
and it is safe to venture they
will meet with success, for perse-
verance will always win.
On the 9th of this month Sites
held an election and voted school
bonds for the construction of a
$500 high school building, and
the statement is made that they
Will go right on and erect build
ing at the earliest moment, and
will then put forth every effort
for the organization of a rural
high school district.
Such course is certainly COM
mendable and stamps the cit
liens of that community as wide
awake and progressive; more so
for the reason that Sites has no
