~ 7 is but a short time that
III the people of Winslow


will have to commence
thinking Of electing new city
officers for a term Of two years.
We should select the best men
we have to fill the various Off
ces. The Importance of hav-
ing intelligent and educated
men in public office is becom-
ing more and more appreciated
as the functions of govern
ment increase in complexity.
1t is vital to the preservation
OF our government that good
men take office and use their
influence not only to reform
evil practices that prevail in
legislatures but to understand
the needs of the present day.
The necessity of this action is
SO great that it imposes an
obligation upon all citizens to
do their duty in this respect.
The man who is ready to die
for his country should be will
ling to live for his city. When
our ablest men realize that
this obligation, because Of
their greater advantage, is
heavier than that of their less
fortunate fellow-beings, they
will make a more generous re-
sponse than they have made
heretofore to the call of public
duty.

HE man who is not a ia
~ milliar face in the busi-
ness places Of his home
town is not a man who attracts
many business friendships. He
creates very little good will
People buy of him if they have
to, if they find that he has
bargains that they simply
can't resist, but when things
are about even they never go
out of their way to serve him.
Such a man gets a reputation
for cold isolation, and if he
wins it is by sheer hard work,
and friendships never help
him. A great many of the
prizes Of life go by favor. The
fellow who feels interested in
his towsmen, who takes every
opportunity to throw a good
business deal in the way of a
neighbor, has created host of
friendly and willing debtors.
These favors are not forgot
ten. They may seem bread
cast upon the watersof a hore-
less sea. Then some day,
when he least expects it, along
comes some man to whom he
has done a business favor, to
whom it is a pleasure to make
some return. Here is explain
ed the mysterious ease with
which some fellows get along
in life. They never seem to
work as hard as others. But
they have a gerius for busi-
ness friendship, they throw
businessfavors friends when
ever possible, they buy every
thing possible of their towns
men. They create such a host
of business allies that by and
by they find what a lot of
people there are in life who
enjoy and believe in return
ing favors and remembering
mutual obligations.
