Hits the Key Note

A great deal is being said these days concerning the boosting of towns. We believe that one good way to boost town is for the town to help develop the home paper. It is a we'll known fact that paper cannot be first class unless it receives the patronage of the public, but on the other hand if it is supported by the people of the town, it will grow and become an interesting sheet. Effort is the keynote to success and support is another keynote to success, effort and support should go hand in hand. Support can be given in a number of ways too numerous to mention. So if you want to boost your town boost your home paper and 1t will help in boosting the town = St. Johns Herald.

 We will all lend a willing hand, to make the visitors feel a spirit of welcome, and we feel that the city of Flagstaff should take official notice of this affair, and do all possible to make the day real "Flagstaff's welcome to the strang- CTS within our gates"
 Further, we would suggest that the city council set apart and designate Wednesday June 5th, 1912 as Clean Up Day" By official published notice, urge our citizens to clean up their premises. Let all rubbish, and trash be  heaped up in piles, and then let street supervisor, with enough hired teams, cart away all trash and rubbish. Shine up and clean up, so that our visitors may be more impressed with Flagstaff. The advertising Flagstaff will get from these automobile visitors, will be a long and enduring benefit to us all.
