Senator Root evidently regards

man has told him that one ton OF

ashes mixed and broadcasted on
the ground ten days before plant
ing, will "disperse" the mole
crickets. Being no agriculturist
himself, Brother Jordan doesn 7
say how big a piece of ground
should be for the quantity Of fer
tilizer to have the desired effect
But we will be charitable and say

TWO WAYS TO GROW


There are two ways for a business
man 70 become more prosperous. The
first Is by active competition among
his n~eighbors. II he Is a live one. he
realizes TO the full the law Of life.
that he must hustle, or young and
brighter men will get ahead of him.
He must get out AFTER trade, or he
will get out OF trade.
But an additional prosperity can be
acquired, outside OF whatever a be
realized as the result Of successful
competition with your neighbOrs, by
united efforts 70 make the home town
grow. The advance Of a whole com
munlty brings An acoretion to every
one who owns real estate or a bust
ness. or who has an income dependent
on the prosperity Of his neighbors.
This increment brings a new pros
perity without much effort. AS your
houselot grows in value the more
houses are built around IL, so your
business grows more valuable, as
more people read your advertising or
pass your door.
No man is doing his duty by his
WI business, unless he sets apart a
certain mOdicum OF effort to be de-
voted TO measures to make his home
boMil kloWs
ANY town can be made to grow by
systematic aud common sense efforts
to attract new residents and indus
tries. Communities are like stores,
IL takes advertising TO attract inter-
est and attention.
Often II is not advertising spread
broadcast that lands new business. If
every community does all IL a TO
help its W young men who have
new enterprises to start, 1t lays the
foundations for concerns that will be-
come prosperous and bring people TO
q town.
A dozen active business men, who
have faith in the future Of their OWE
town, who will give some time each
week to working out plans and TAX
ing advantage OF opportunities that
would otherwise pass unnoticed, can
work wonders.

THE ANNUAL

January has been a great month for
organizations TO have annual meet
ings. Newspapers exchanges are full
Of elections Of churches, %fraternal
orders, banks and other corporations,
and philanthTopic societies.
An ordinarily active person may be
an officer in a dozen organizations.
This is called an age Of ''iiners. "
Many people say one organization
should be formed merely 10 kill OIL
needless societies. Still the purpose
OF all these associations is commend
able and their work is needed. The
trouble Is to find workers enough TO
perform all the tasks Of the commun-
ity.
Most people sit back and criticise,
while Others get up the church sup
pers organize the work Of the char
tiles and the lodges. This may be a
pleasant lazy mans way of getting
through life, but 1t is not much 10
look back on when you reach the end
OF your career.
