SUGGESTIONS FOR
BOOSTING EXTRA

Don't be the man who put sit in
city.
Building good houses builds
good town.
Save a little money and save a
lot of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town.
but to money.
Be live one and the town will
never be a dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have
to the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world
better is to begin with the home
town.
A town lis like perambulator;
it isn't much good unless it is push
ed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
Be like a 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.
If you think COW can't laugh
for joy, let somebody sell you a
good silo.
Don't be crouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you we'll, even the
| doctor.
Let's not be trying to stop some
thing all of the time. Let's start
something.
la good town will do more to keel
the boys at home than good advice.
A town is like girl. It's wonder
full what little fixing up will do
for her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home whe.
the lady calls.
The world owes every man liv-
ing, but the street corner is poor
collection agency.
Don't lcok for soft snaps; the
hard snaps are the ones that have
the ginger in them.
Don't spend so much time talk
ing war that you haven't time left
to talk business.
If you would like to have some
body working for you, put little
money in the bank.
1t improves the soup to throw a
little pepper into it. Same way with
a. town.
If you spend all that you earn,
some other fellow is banking your
money.
Many young man goes away to
seek his fortune when fortune is
seeking for him at lone.
4 Plaster your house and every
body will follow your example. Lath
and the world laths with you.
| You've got to be citizen in or
der to vote; but you've got to do a
good deal more than vote to be a
citizen.
| The big things were not all done
in the big towrs. The greatest poem
in the English language was writer
! in a country churchyard.
4 There is only one better man
than the man who gets behind and
pushes, in an effort to improve the
town, and that's the man who goes
ahead and pulls.

THOSE SONGS
Of YESTERDAY

We ANT so awful up-to-date.
Ner don't pretend to be;
An bide a little wee,
I guess however, we can wait.
Our square planners jes' as good
AS on our wedding day,
No piannoller ever could
Such golden music play.
New-fangled songs may be more
smart,
An may be all the rage
But somehow they don't reach the
heart
Like those of yester-age

And "Silver Threads" old-fashioned

But one that cannot die.

We're jest leetle slow;

But Annie Rooney Sweet Marie

But said that before.
On July the 10th. North came to town from
his camp in the Adrondacks. Try to imagine
camp with sixteen rooms, plumbing. eiderdown
quilts, butler. garage. solid sll1er plate. and
Iong-distance telephone. Of course it was in
the woods-if Mr.. Pinchot wants to preserve
the forests let him give every citizen two or ten
or thirty million dollars, and the trees will all
gather around the summer camps, as the Biz

North came to see me in my three rooms

travaganty or all night. He slapped me on
the back q would rather have my shins kicked
any day., and greeted me with outdoor OBJ

For one moment had relaxed my vigilance.

Nannette in Binkley & Bing's production of
The Silver Cord She is to have better part
next season.
Take me to see her," said North. :
Miss Ashton lived with her mother in small
hotel. They were out of the West. and had'a
little money that bridged TIE seasons As press
agent of Binkley & Bing had tried to keep her
before the public As Robert James Vandiver
had hoped to Withdraw her; for if ever one
was made to keep company with said Vandiver
and smell the salt breeze on the south shore Of
Long Island and listen to the ducks quack in the
watches of the night. it was the Ashton set
forth above.
But she had soul above ducks-above
nightingales; aye. even above birds of para
disc She was very beautiful. with quiet ways.
and seemed genuine She had both taste and
talent for the stage. and she liked to stay at
home and read and make caps for her mother.
She was unvaryingy kind and friendly with
Bnkley & Bing's press-agent. Since the the
alter had closed she, had allowed Mr. Vandver
to call in an unofficial role had often spoken
to her of my friend. Spencer Grenville North;
and so, as it was early. the first turn of the
vaudeville being not yet over. we left to find
a telephone.
Miss Ashton would be very glad to see Mr.
Vandiver and Mr. North
We found her fitting a new cap on her
mother. Lnever saw her look more charming.
North made himself disagreeabIy entertain

him. Besides, he had two, ten, or thirty
millions. I've forgotten which, incautiously ad-

are no rights for you to encroach upon.
On Thursday afternoon Miss Ashton invited
North and myself to have tea in her apartment.
He was devoted. and she was more charming
than usual. By avoiding the subject of caps |
managed to get word or two into and out
of the talk. Miss Ashton asked me in make
