1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN, IT'S YOU.


If you want to live in the kind of
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long. long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone work and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake.
Your neighbor can make one, too.
Your town will be what you want to
see.
1t isn't your town-it's YOU!

HE DIDN'T TAKE THE PAPER.

A farmer in this community once
had horse he wanted to sell. 1t was
a valuable horse and should have
brought a good price. For months he
tried to sell the animal, but could not
find buyer at his figure He finally
sold it for about $25 less than it's
value, rather than carry it through the
winter,
Now it happened that just across the
line in another county there was an
other farmer who was looking for just
such horse, but was unable to find
it. Then he inserted little ad in the
home paper, which brought him q
number of offers, one of which he re-
Iuctantly accepted.
The first farmer did not take tho
home paper, and of course did not see
the little ad Of the man who wanted a
horse, and who would have purchased
his animal at a good price.
By not taking the paper he saved
the subscription price of 81, and like
wise lost $24 by not seeing the other
fellows ad.
Such occurrences are happening
every week right here in this commun.
ity, in which people actually lose good
money because they do not take their
home paper. and hence do not know
of many of the opportunities that ara
placed before them.
The man who takes the paper and
reads it carefully each week not only
knows what is going on, but he is in
fact money ahead at the end of the
year by knowing what, when and
where to buy.
"Penny wise and pound foolish" is
exemplified in many ways.

none the less imperative than is the
duty to vote on election day. If VIC
are too Indifferent to support the can

have no right to complain of misgoy-

If, therefore, we do not Loyalty sup

no right to grumble at unfair trade
customs, bad business practice, or un-.
just laws. 1t is questionable taste on
the part of the man who lives on free
lunch to upbraid the cook.
1t is very easy for the busiest of
busy men to help his association. He
need not take an active part in its af-
farfs, 1e may not even serve upon its
committees, but it is his plain duty to
encourage those who do. He should
join the organization in the first place
and pay his dues freely and promptly
not for the sake of others, but for hi;a
own sake. He may not be a speaking
member; in fact it is often better 10
remain dumb when we have nothing
particular to say. But he can do a
whole lot by attending meetings regu-
larly, by handshake or an encourag-
ing word or two spoken on the side
to the executive members who are do
ing the work. The encouce cement Of
we'll attended meetings and dinners
has much to do with the success Of an
organization, and it costs so little ef-
fort that absence without cause should
be a disgrace StatiOner.

THE LETTER "E." I"
(Fourth Estate.)

NrOuTLu ESldI0.J
Some one has advanced the opinion
that the letter "e' is the most unfor.
innate letter in the English alphabet,
because it is always out of cash, for
ever in debt, never out of danger and
IN hell all the time. For some reason
he overlooked the fortunate of the let
ter, as we call his attention to the fact
that "e" is never in war and always in
peace. It is the beginning of exist
ence, the commencement of ease and
the end Of trouble Without it there
would be no meat, no life and no heav-
en- 1t is the center of honesty, makes
loVe perfect and without it there
would be no editors, devils or news.

age of the people of this community They are a

They pay very considerable portion of the taxes

thousands of dollars for the purpose of putting the

out of business, and everyman who spends dollar

PREPARE FOR DEAR EGGS.

If the farmer wishes to benefit by
to bring next fall and winter, he
should begin to get ready for them at
once, say the poultry specialists in the
department. The way to have eggs
late in the year is to hatch pullets
early. 1t is the early matches FROM
which the pullets are derived that are
the largest money makers for the
poultry producer. The early hatch
ed cockerels can be marketed in
America when they attain weight OF
three-fourths of pound to a pound
and half each, which they should
reach at about 6 to 10 weeks of age,
respectively, at greater profit to the
produced than at any other time OF
their lives. The early pulIets, if
properly grown. should begin to lay
in the fall at the time when eggs are
scarce and high in price.
A Few Facts to Remember.
Pullets must be well matured be-
lore they Will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets in will. as a
rule, lay all winter.
1t is the early Matched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March, and April are the
months to do your Matching in order
to secure early hatched nullets
Yearling and 2-year-old hens do not
lay many eggs in the fall, as they are
molting at that time, and the feed
they consume goes not only to keep
up the energy and life of the birds
but also to put on or grow new coat
of feathers.
In properly matured pulIets ali
surplus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements of the body
is available for the production of eggs.
