Town Spirit


One hears nowadays about "tow,
boosting, booster but tons, "boostinl
campaigns, &c. It's all very good tall
and should be repeated over and ovel
again.
But there is deeper side of the subject
in what might be called town Spirit
the keen feeling of loyalty to ANY cause
that belongs in your town.
In schools and colleges great deal i:
said about school spirit. The pupils are
exhorted ostand by their athletic teams
to root for them on the field, to support
school entertainments, as something ex'
pected of every member of the school
The fervor Of this spirit can be seen at
base ball games, foot ball games and bas-
ket ball games.
Now the point we want to get at is
this: If towns could have the same feel
ing, how many a community might go
ahead If you root for new enterprises
as the boys root for the athletic teams,
nothing could stop your community's
growth.
Even from selfish reasons that spirit of
loyalty pays. Every new enterprise that
can be builtup here, every public improve
ment, every store, factory and farm, all
professional service, all faithful labor, the
entertainments that are given, the
churches that are supported and the so.
cleties that are conducted, all help to
make the community more ATTRACTIVE and
livable. They attract new residents and
they bind old ones to our homes.
The tie between the peoplt iyrg in one
town ought to be one ofloyal ship.
If you meet a townsman a thousand
miles away, you welcome him like a long
lost brother Next time you see him on
your own street you pass him with
cold nod.
In towns where there is a fraternal
spirit between the people, there grows up
a feeling of affection for that community.
II you move away from such town you
never forget the cordial welcome you met
there and you never cease to speak a good
word for it. All of which makeslite pleas
anter, and from the sordid point OF view
t is good advertising, both for the COM
munity and the individual.
Now, how about yourself? Are you a
Booster for your own town? Or are you

object the occasional gathering OF the
people of the town and i'll addition to a
social intercourse discusses those things
which are for the towns best good At
a recent meeting in Cambridge there was
a banquet, attended by over a hundred,
following which were talks on 1.-The
Young Man in Business" Schools"
"The Cattle Industry" "The Public

thus set taken up by other towns.

The United State will use Pal
myra island for a coaling station
for the Pacific fleet upon the com:
pletion of the Panama canal.
. This information follows the
receipt of Rear Admiral Souther-
lands report of the exploration of
Palmyra island and 81 other
small bodies of land in the Pacific
by the cruiser West Virginia late
in February, when he annexed
the islands for the United States.
When the report reached the
state department some time ago
that England contemplated forti-
flying Tanning island and max
ing it a coaling station, the navy
department dispatched the West
Virginia to the Palmyra group to
grab them up if possible so that
they could be used as protection
for the western end of the
Panama canal and as central Pa
cihc naval base.

dropped anchor off Palmyra
island" the admiral reported,
