Be "A Real Town Builder

on that tax list, they lose sight OF
the fact that public improvements
that increase the tax roll slightly,
increase property values immensely.
They oppose movements and there
by become destroyers, placing the
tremendous weight of their hostile
influence in opposition to the ad-
vancement of the community.
Then there is certain class of
men who carry around a load of
crouch which they let loose upon
every possible occasion and without
regard for their victims.
They damn the town and the peo-
pie and everything else but them
selves.
To mention civic improvements to
them is like shaking rag at mad
! bull.
They rave at all times and at ev-
erybody, and grow, and penetrate
every section of the country.
And then there is still another
class that comes along with their
contributions to the downfall OF
their community. They are the pa
irons of the mail order mantle
worlds greatest enemy of the small
town community.
Many of these utilize the local
stores when they want something in
a hurry or on credit, and then send
the bulk of their cash away to great
cities. They give the mail order man
the ripe ear of corn and toss the
husks to the local merchants.
They, too, are destroyers, and are
daily throttling the community
which shelters them-the com
munity which they should foster ant
encourage in every way, for without

Are you a builder or are you

Are YOU seeking to advance the
interests of the community in which
YOU live, or are you diverting your
efforts to its ultimate destruction!
It is one or the other, for there is
no happy medium.
You are a benefit to the town, or

You are either builder, or you

Others know you as you are, but

Every town has within its border

see their community advance and

The impression made upon the un-
preiudiced reader of the testimony
in the Naval Academy scandal is
that that institution is turning
out fine crop of young snobs every
year to strut the decks of our war
ships. And, worse still, its boosted
honor system, supposed to make the
naval cadet only less impeccable
than an angel in his stern fidelity to
the HIGHEST standards of truth and
honor, is in such poor working order
that common cheating and lying to
pass the examinations and secure
other advantages are quite popular
among the cadets, and, while all may
not indulge in it, those who do sui
fer no social penalty and their Of
fence is tacitly approved. The cold
facts in the case seem to have de-
stroyed the pleasant illusion of the
public that all the young officers
who come out of Annapolis are shin
ing examples of immaculate recti-
tude and personal honor to the
whole wide world.
