Let Us Make This Good Looking
Town

Ii every man who reads this-and
every woman, too-would make it his
or her business, the next hour he or
she has, to look around the home
premises and see how they could be
fixed up to look better it would be a
great thing for this town. 1t might
not induce people to do any more
than rake uq the sticks that are lying
around. That would be great help
alone. But maybe while raking up
the loose leaves you would find there
is loose board in the sidewalk bro
ken picket in the fence, that the cor
ner of the porch has sagged or that
the front steps need a new plank in
them. And, as you would want to
make complete job of it, you would
see that these repairs are made. May
be the house has needed new coat of
paint for long time. Perhaps new
curtains are needed at the front win
dows. And the inside Of the house is
quite as important as the outside
is more important for it is on the in
side you live and where visitors get
their real impression of you and of
the town. Maybe before you get
through, if you will really look about
you, there will be several things that
can be made to look vastly better
with the aid of a fauy boo,.Je ~. ,,o;I1
or a little vanish or small expendi-
ture of money. Collectively the eff
feet on this town will be great. There
is no economy in letting things run
down and putting repairs off. A
house that needs repairs is going
down hill; and house that is going
down hill is losing value-value in
money and comfort. Let's make this
better looking town; and let's begin,
like charity, at home.

WHAT THE FARMER DID.

A city man recently visited his
country cousin" The man from the
city, wishing to explain the joys of
metropolitan life, said: eve have
certainly deem having fun the last few
days. Thursday we autoed to the
country club, and golfed until dark.
then trollied back to town and danced
until morning" The country cousin
was not to be stumped in the least, SO
began telling of some of the pleasures
OF the simple life: eve have had pref
ty good tines here, too. One day we
buggied out to Uncle Ned's and went
out to the back lot, where we base
balled all that afternoon. In the
evening we sneaked up into the attic
and pokered until morning. "a sturdy
old farmer who was listening, net to
o. oucao-c, took 9p the co.lvepsa ton
at this point and said: Il was having
some fun about this time myself. I
muled to the cornfield and gee-hawed
until shutdown. Then l suppered until
dark, and piped until o'clock, after
which bedsteaded until the clock
lived, after which breakfasted until
It was time to 60 muling again.

co TO CHURCH.

Go to Church!
Is there man in any community
who is too busy to spend one hour
each week in church?
There are one hundred and sixty
eight hours in every week No man
is too busy to snatch few hours of
recreation in every week. No man is
too busy to sleep during the week.
Yet there are men who will declare
that they are so busy they can't afford
to give one hour in every one hun
bred and sixty eight to worship in
Gods house. In church you will find
spiritual food and rest.
Of all excuses for lack of atten-
dance at church the "too busy" one is
the fimsiest. Why isn't man hon
est and admit that he doesn't want
to go go to church? Isn't it a fact
that man has a better feeling with
in himself and the world in general
after he has spent an hour in the
house of God?
One of the finest sights of the lem
ton season was the MONDAY crowds
in the churches located in the bust
ness and financial districts of New
York City. There might be found
some of the greatest men in the coun-
try. 1t is hopeful sign of the
times. None of these really big men
was to busy to give several minutes
each dy to the worship of God. In
cidentally, these big men by their ex-
ample preached powerful sermons.
Don't hide behind the "too busy
pretext. 1t is to thin. If you have
an important business or social en-
gagement you will find time for it.
God asks you to meet him for at
least an hour every Sunday. Can't
you arrange your engagements so
that you can meet him? The visit
will not be disagreeable one. Sure
ly you are not ashamed to be seen in
church? You no doubt have been
seen in worse places.
Go To Church!
