SUGGESTIONS For
BOOSTING BARABOO
With Acknowledgements
to CO /. Munson of
the Viroqua
Censor,

Don't be the man who put sit in city.
Building good houses builds a good
town.
Save little money and save lot of
worry. o.
Good roads lead not only to town bat
to money.
Be live one and the town will never
be dead one.
A nice front porch. has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not the Knockers?
When someone plans to help the town.
plan to help the plan.
The best plans man can have for
the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world better
is to begin with the home town.
A town is like q perambulator; it isn't
much good unless it is pushed.
Be like ball player. The thing he is
always working for is home.
Be one of the leaders of the town, if
you can;.but anyway, keep up.
A good town will do more to keep the
boys at home than good advice.
1t improves the soup to throw little
pepper into it. Same way with a town.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
If you think COW can't laugh for
JOY, let somebody sell you good silo.
Don't be crouch. Everybody in Bar
aboo wishes you well, even the doc
tors.
Let's not be trying to stop something
all of the time. Let's start some
thing.
A town is like grille It's wonder
full what little fixing up will do for
her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man living,
but the street corner is a poor collect
ion agency.
Dom t look for soft snaps; the hard
snaps are the ones that have the gin
ger in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to talk
business.
z,o,1 mould I;ixo kO boxyo
working for you. put little money in
the bank
If you spend all that you earn, some
other fellow ls banking your money.
Many a young man goes away to seek
his fortune when fortune is seeking for
him at home.
Plaster your house and everybody
will follow your example. Lath and the
world laths with you.
You've got to be citizen in order
to vote; but you've got to do good
deal more than vote to be citizen.
If you will consider the men in this
town who are ''well fixed" you will find
thatevery one of them made their
money mere.
The big things were not all done in
the big towns the greatest poem in
the English language was written in a
country churchyard.
There ia only one better man than the
man who gets behind and pushes, in an
effort to improve the town that's the
man who goes ahead and pushes.

Florence Moore Declares Laughter

Funny women are seldom beautiful

at a sad-eyed and doleful beauty.
Miss Moore Is beautiful herself,

and could have played beautiful
heroine TO perfection. had she chosen

OF her theories IA. that II Is a finer thing
to make people laugh than TO stir up the
sadness In their souls, though the tragic
play may DO elevating and inspiring.
And there IL 30 much bigger field In

there isn't half enough OF Il In the world.
and there are too few people who are
ready 10 be amused by the little events
OF the day. My theory OF eternal youth
and incidentally a measure OF beauty is
20 cultivate sense OF humor, TO train
ones life TO see the sunny side. and to
laugh. laugh, laugh"
Miss Moore works hard enough in the
