She is going to get into her limits all
the people she can. Especially the
rich ones. 1t is her business to grow
just as it is yours. You must adopt
the same methods. Give them the

life so pleasant for him that he will
not want to leave.
The man who has lived for any
length of time in small town does
not like a large one. 1t takes him
three years to get acquainted with his
next door neighbor. Now how differ

drink of water the people will ask
next day if it was his wife who was
sick and did he get the doctor. You
see they take a real interest. Yes,

shown that the defendant had oper-
ated as a private detective and that
there had been no evidence TO show
that ne had ever been a member Of
tn local police force.
