ALL SHOULD WORK TOGETHER
A Dull, Backward Community Can Be Made
Active And Progressive By Cooperation.

There is no more important work
than that of promoting a sentiment
that binds the community together
in neighborliness, making every
man who lives in the neighborhood
proud of his neighbOrs and eager to
help them
The community where every
man feels that his neighbors are
comrades is a neighborhood where
the people will work together for
better schools, better roads, better
churches and better citizenship as
insured by the ideals placed before
young people
Where a few earnest, determined
neighbors set themselves to the task
of making the community what it
should be, the others can usually be
won and the task accomplished. 1t
is work that will attract when
once it is started.
A dull, backward community can
not be transformed into a live,
active, progressive community in
few years. 1t takes time to change
peoples sympathies and ideals, yet
there is no limit to what can be
done when few men determine to
do things and 60 about them con-
scientiously. Great Improvements
have been made, difficult problems
solved a nd stubborn opposition
overcome by efficient leaders,

Jeiferson's Ten Rules

The following has been published
as the ten rules of life as laid down
by Thomas Jefferson:
Never put off until tomorrow
what you can do today.
Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before
you have earned it.
Never buy what you don't want
because it, is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold
We seldom repent of having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we
do willingly.
How much pain the evils have
cost us that have never happened
Take things always by the smooth
handle.
When angry, count ten before you
speak; if very angry, count 100,
