On the whole, the daring German

SOMETHING WABENO NEEDS

1t is often sne case in the small town
that people pay taxes of considerable
amounts but, do not receive adequate
return because of false economy in
local government affairs. Money can
be wasted by not looking for the great
est good that may come from the ex-
penditure. Generally we find this true
of the town or city hall which ever the
place may be. People thinking to save
money will puts small, disreputable
shack when small additional expense
would have been scarcely felt in the
taxes but which would have enabled
them to construct neat useful Hall.
Does Wabeno want to remain back
number or is she ready to get IN line
for better things. 1t is not one or two
people that can push her ahead but the
mass of the people must get together
in order to do it,
In almost every community there is
strong tendency for organization to
meet local problems. Conventions,
Market Day festivals, Institutes,
Lyceum courses and many other simi-
lar functions are being made worth
while to the community. A community
is valuable first according to it's reputa-
tion in selling the products that it has.
This is the day of advertising People
must be shown that our stuff, or our
land, or our work is good. The COM
munity idea is the best way of doing
this. Wabeno can not hold any meet
ings except of limited local Importance.
Not even good sized county conven-
tion could be housed. Again, would it
pay to have, say. Potato convention,
and let the people from other places
go home and say that the meetings
were held in barn. That however is
what is often done and we will suffer
by it. We will have to sell our potatoes
cheaper, our land will not increase in
value as it should and better class of
people will go elsewhere.
Wabeno needs a Market Day celebra-
ton. She could just as well have a
midwinter fair if she had hall facilities.
What we need is building first that
will house a good crowd comfor, ably;
second that will provide for couple of
extra rooms which can be used for
civic purposes; for instance a small
room could be provided to be used as 2
library and another room could he used
band practice, or as an Office; third the
building should be in convenient place
and last it should present an agreeable
appearance from the outside. 1t should
attract favorable comment from the
casual visitor. This latter point can
not be over estimated in new country
like we have here.
To farmers as well as others will this
be of real service Soon proper sheds
for teams can be provided which with
the hall will furnish ideal headquarters
for the farmer when he comes to the
town oPeommunityicenter as it is often
called.
would personally urge people to
think this plan over and not build now
and have to do it over in year or two.
other places are doing these things.
Why cart we? wabeno can have con-
ventions and meetings if she will pro-
vide room for the entertainment of
visitors. We do not want to be ex-
travagent but let US look to the future.
Careful methods would often save
enough to pay for better town hall.
