THE BOARD OF TRADE.

No town can hope to accomplish
anything worth while in the way OF
development and growth through i'll
dividual effort Nearly all individuals
ly through a united organization OF
citizens that these various opinions
can be embodied into one idea and
effectively put into force.
More influence can be brought to
bear upon any movement through col
lective action than through individu-
al effort. Therefore, it will be noted
that all prosperous communities in
yariably have an aggressive civic or
ganization, through which they trans
act business having to do with the
public welfare.
There is no community at the pres
ent time that requires such an or
ganization more than does Parker.
We are on the eve of important de-
velOpements that can only be

OF the people Of this community and
the best way to accomplish salts
factory results is through our Board
of Trade.
1t is necessary, however, that per-
feet harmony should exist in order
that the best results may be obtain
ed. Next to harmony, the most es-
sential thing to insure success, is un-
ity, for in unity there is strength.
Where a community is united moth
ing is impossible if proper methods
are adopted and energetic efforts put
forth for the accomplishment of the
particular object sought to be OBJ
tanned.
From all indications the local
Board of Trade is on the road to
success. Vigilance should be used in
keeping up public interest in the or
ganiZation, and not to allow it to lax
If you are a citizen of this commun-
ity it is your duty to assist in con-
Quoting ltS a11alfS. III you nave IDEAS
that will benefit the town make them
known at the meetings, and if you
have objections to make as to it's
conduct come out to the meetings
and make them.
We cannot see how a property own
er here can afford to not become af-
filiated with the Board of Trade. 1t
represents progress and enterprise
and the only means through which
the business of the town can be effec-
lively transacted. Let it be known
that you are progressive and that you
take an interest in your town by at
