business organization is d very potent
factor in the building up of this coun-
try.
Some organizations are not so alive
t.. the situation as they should be and
it is their own iault for so remaining
in this condition. The worst thing in
the world to think of is a business
organization freezing up in the Win
ter and drying up in the summer,
practically having no season for
work. The trouble with all our com
mercial organizations both large and
small is that they do not have the
right kinds of laws to govern them,
and if they do they do not live up to
them, and where there is no system.
no success can come. This is true to
nature. The greatest trouble of all
the others is that a business organ
ization has, is a lack of funds. They
do not have money flowing regularly
into their treasury to do the work for
which they are created. Being poor
they are inadequate and being mad
uuate their members become disgust
ed and drop out.

past ten years as to how an organiza-
ton should be governed. There are SO

necessary to bring about the success
full conclusion of some important pro-
jcct for the good of the CITY A good
company of Boosters will always have
steam up for any immergency. 1t is
right and proper that | at this time
tell you what constitutes a genuine
Booster. The word is derived from an
electrical expression. The light is
carried through the booster and By
having a succession of Boosters strung
along a long line of electrical wires
the fluid is strengthened and burns as
bright at the end of the line as it
does at the power house. Thus Web
ster gives the definition of the word :
Booster-One who lifts up, helps up,
gives strength.
Now having told you what Booster
is, it is no more than fair that
tell you who is the Boosters worst
enemy The Knocker is the man. You
may have seen mules that could kick,
but the knocker is Some Kicker" and
has Mr.. Mule backed off the board
You will not be surprised when l tell
you that there are many kickers IN
every city Sometimes the kickers do
not attempt any thing themselves, but
they act as agitators, and by their
growing about abuses they get the
other fellow to work.
Every community is made up Of
pretty much the same fellows-there
are those who say nothing, but dc
much; then there are those who say
much and do nothing. The Kickel
