upon a distant New York, let us glow
with pride for our own town, realizing
that the difference is only one of de-
gree and that the home town pos
sesses social and moral advantages
seldom to be had in the big city.
There is no town that does not pos
sess some advantages and resources
and every town is, to a considerable
extent, what it's citizens make it. In
stead of complaining and sulking, get
busy and help make your town what
it should be. Resolve that you will
vote, talk and work for a bigger, bet
ter brighter town. Every man owes
a duty to the community in which he
lives and can discharge it only by do
ing something for its betterment. The
home community is entitled to first
consideration when improvements are
to be made or when money is to be
invested. Invest your money where
you made it and where you can watch
it. There is no pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow; the place to do things
worth while is right here at home
And above all, throw away the ham
mer" and never miss an opportunity
to speak a good word for your com
munity.
There are so many things a com
mercial club could do for your town
1t could encourage the home consump
ton of home manufactured goods; il
could encourage home trading gen
orally; it might bring organized pres
sure to bear to provide new transpor
tation facilities or to increase the eft
ficiency of those that already exist
it could discuss and recommend need
ed or desirable local improvements; i
could take the initiative in getting
logged-off lands cleared and settled
and in reclamation projects; it coul'
secure the improvement of the roads
leading into the town and encourage
the making of periodical market day
or farmers institutes in the town; /
could take the lead in local public al
fairs and entertainments and plan
for improving and identifying tn
town. and finally it could be ION deck
all the time boosting the home tow
in many practical ways and keepin
alive a sentiment of local pride an
patriotism.
