Secretary Chamber of Commerce
To place city where it belongs it is
necessary to pull it'-strange as this
may seem, it is the naked truth.
To be a full fedged Booster, you
must be Fuller with an initiative of
your own, Leader and not follow
err. Every Booster should fly his kite,
and not hang on to the tail of the 9TH
er fellows kite.
Many town has been Boosted to a
place where it excels others conse (
quent of the fact that it has had the
untiring efforts of a live Chamber OF
Commerce with full membership OIL
live Boosters whose ambitions have
been spurred on by a Leader, who in
culcated into his followers the sam
happy expressions of good things of
his city, that his own convictions car
ried with them. He was a man who
always said good things about his city
He was Fuller.
Other nearby cities have Boone
while the natural resources were
afforded, and then retrogression set in,
and they were allowed to slide into a
rut and become Dead Towns.
Has Americas come to a stage like
this?
Move are a set of people that be-
lieve in Progress, and we are going to
have progress. We will not be down
ed. Show us the way Lead us to the
way Of Boosting and we are with you.
Let's look at the definition of both
words as Webster sees them:
Booster-To lift. To help along. To
carry forward
Boom-A hollow road. A sound
made by the waves that dies out.
| Which of the two words shall we
follow in the building up of Americus?
Surely you want to be a Booster
Boost everywhere. Help everybody.
Take a pleasure in doing so. Tell ey-
eryone that comes within the borders
of our city of the good things Ameri-
Gus has to offer. Tell them of the
great County of Sumter, with her miles
of fine roadways and hundreds OF
thousands of acres of beautiful farms
Go on and Boost Do it in truthful
way. Tell the truth about Sumter
County, and then you have not told thu
half.
What We want is Progress.
To get Progress, we must Boost.
Were any of us driving Wagon and
its progress became impeded, we woul,
look up the reason.
Perhaps we would get down from
the Front Seat where we had been
driving and look for the cause.
We find it-a boulder lodged in front
of the Wheel, and we remove the cause.
Then were We unable to move the
Wagon we would Shove.
Now we have first lightened the
wagon by getting down; we have found
the cause of the delay by observation,
We remove the cause and remedy it.
That is making Progress. We mus
get the habit of surmounting obstacles
and advancing regardless of impede
ments and hindrances.
Boosting your city is like unto liy-
ing your life.
So be it with city.
When it advances naturally-like a
piece of oiled machinery-when the
cogs are perfect and there are no
hitches-when it glides gracefully on
ward-it is we'll.
But when it stops growing of its owl
aCcord-what?
Then its Boosters and Pullers must
set busy.
The only thing that moves back
ward with any degree of accuracy is a
Crawfish-now who wants to be a
Crawfsh?
A Leader is needed for each CITY
Boost
Then all the population must bet to
gether and Pull

LITTLE TIME. FOR SENTIMENT
Bird House Attendants All Too Busy
to Bother About Legendary
Stories or Myths.

The visitor approached one of the
gayly uniformed attendants who spend
their days in the bird house of the
Bronx park geological gardens. This
privileged being must. she thought,
have imbibed at least touch of senti-
ment.
Isn't there" she asked. some
story. some myth. connected with that
pigeon which has on its breast the red
splotch like blood from bullet
wound?"
STORY? Myth? Git off. Course
there Amt no story about it, It's just

bird was born that way. See?"

The Last Straw.

Mary James master is slightly
eccentric bachelor. He has one most
irritating habit. Instead of telling her
what he wants done by word of mouth
he leaves on his desk, or on the kitch-
en- table, or anywhere else where she
is likely to see it, note CURLY direct
ing her to Dust the dining room" or
Turn out my cupboard" and SO on.
Inc other day he bought some note
paper, with sthe usual die-sunk ad-
dress imprinted upon it, from the sta
toner, and ordered it to be sent home.
Mary Jane took it in, and the first
thing that caught her eye was note
attached to the package. She read it
open-eyed.
Well" she said, hes asked me to
do few things in his blessed notes,
but this is the limit. | won't stand it
no longer!"
For the note read:

Eight pair of eyes turned toward

The Patriot.

Sir Thomas Upton said at provi-
sloners' banquet In London:
All the blame for high prices is put
on us dealers. You'd think, the way
some people talk, that we dealers were
as false in our patriotism as the chap
who was sanding his sugar the other
day with his errand boys help.
The errand boy, lifting a scoopful
of sand, asked:
The usual proportion, sir?'
No, Joseph, of course not the
boss replied sternly. The usual pro-
portion in days like these? Joseph.
where's your patriotism?
Then he sighed and added:
only half the usual proportion of
sand, Joseph-only half the usual pro-
portion as long as our gallant troops
at the front have such need of sand
bags"
