W oG-D gou increase the Ta-
w lue of your town property
if you could?
It's easy to do and worth do
ing.
Get busy on it: clean itup; re-
pair and paint up; grade your
grounds, if they need it; keep
your walks in good condition and
add new ones where required; cut
the weeds and keep them down,
both on and adjacent to your pre-
perty; don't throw trash in the
street or the back yard; keep up
your fences, if you have them;
grow plenty Of flowers and neat
ohrubbery, and MAKE 1T A
PLACE OF BEAUTY.
Then go around and brag like
the dickens to your neighbor a.
bout YOUR place, and keep en-
Dragging until you make him
jealous Of its beauties and he
goes to work and does the same
with his.
Then let him in On the secret
and start him out to rubbing it
into his neighbors, and see that
he keeps it up until they, too,
become tired Of the contrast and
the Dragging and get busy on
their own property with a de-
termination to outdo the rest of
you.
And in time the whole town
will become jealous Of the prop
erty of each other and every fel-
low will be whooping it up to see
who can have TIC most attractive
place.
Then the travelling public will
come along and take notice, and
go away and talk of the beauties
of our town and the thriftiness
of our people, and other people
will want to come and live in
such a fine community.
And isn't it easy to see that
your property then will be worth
nearly double what it is today?

We Want Better Roads
IIH automoviIes in large

TATIIa automovi!es in large
W numbers tearing through
the country at thirty miles an
hour, and the ordinary traffic in
creasing steadily, the matter Of
better country roads is becoming
a vital question with every rural
community in the country.
The size of our crops is not the
only thing to be considered when
speculating upon tile future pros
perity Of the nation. The matter
of getting those crops to market
IN the quickest possible time and
at least expense is one of the
most important problems we have
to deal with today.
1t is an indisputable fact that
automovile traffic cuts great ruts
IN our country roads, tears them
to pieces, and renders the hauling
of heavy loads OF farm produce
doubly difficult.
But there is a remedy, and it
should be applied.
We should build better roads
HARD ROADS.
If it requires a bond issue to
do it, then let us have the bonds.
The increased facilities for
marketing products, and the in
crease in acreage as a result of
improved road conditions, would
more than offset the small inter
est on the bonds.
1t is cold, sane, hard headed
proposition for the material well
fare Of the whole community,
and should be teken up and car
ried through to completion by the
proper authorities without loss
of time.
Wherever you find high grade
country roads, there you invari-
ably find a prosperous class of
people.
We need them here, and we
can accommodate all of the pros
perity that follows in their wake.
The editor hereby offers him
self as the first recruit in a move
ment to clean up this town and
keep it clean. We don't want to
be captain, or lieutenant, or even
corporal, and we don, t want any
honors We just want to see
how many of you energetic gen
tlemen are game to come forward
and plant yourselves by our side
with fixed determination to
make our home town exactly
what it ought to be-a place wor-
thy Of the people who compose
its population. Who will be No.

= AS THE EDITOR Sees IT -

TkTHY is it that men are as
w sharp as tacks in most
things and as careless as an in
fant in others? Get in a car
and drive around the country
and you will see farm imple-
ments everywhere exposed to
the elements, plows standing in
the fields, mowers, rakes, wag-
ons, and dozens Of implements
out in the rain from January to
December. Lift a five spot from
the pocket Of one of those fell
lows and he will want to either
lick you OF send you to the
penltentiary to square up for his
loss. But he lets many times
that amount 60 crack and ruin
in exposing his machinery and
implements tothe elements with
out an apparent thought as to
their value. Queer-but it S
true.

We dropped into a local store
the other day and found a clerk
nearly dead with a sick head
ache. But when a customer en-
tered a few minutes later he was
all smiles and right to the front
with a hearty and whole souled
greeting, and he kept his face
and his spirits until the CUSTOM

mind-to come again. No,
never mind who it was; but that
fellow will gel ahead in the

will always do business while
he is in the foreground.
