WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN
SIGNED THE PLEDGE

No better example can the boy
follow than that of the beloved
Abraham Lincoln. When he was a
boy almost everyone drank. There
were a few temperance people
among whom was one called "Old
Uncle John" One night he gather
ed the people together and pleaded
for temperance, producing the
pledge for any one who would
sign. A tall boy rose and came
forward, and with determination in
his face he boldly wrote the name,
abraham Lincoln" To that one
thing he always attributed much Of
his success and years after, when
President Of the United States, he
said: Gf ! had not signed the
pledge in the days Of youthful
temptation, l should probably have
gone the way Of my youthful COM
panions who are filing drunkards'
graves. "-Press Supt. w. c. T. u. +

rnE BOOSTED AED rHE kILLER


Neariy every town has two
classes Of eifizens--the boosters
and the killers. An the world
loves the former, but even the
devil shuns the latter.
Be a boosteri
The town booster is known by
everybody, for he is always doing
and saying something to push his
town and its people along He Is
the man who makes the town The
killer is the one who destroys it.
Be a bOosteri
The booster never loses anything
by his boosting. He boosts other
people and other people boost him,
and through this combination Of
boosting great things are accom-
plished- 1t is only the killer who
falls Of his own weight, Of his own
cords, or his own deeds.
Be a boosterI
The booster is like a ray Of sun
shine on a cloudy day. He bright
ms everything and everybody
around him His geniaIity, his
cheerfulness, his energy and his
;ood deeds breed hope in the
BOSOM of despair. His words and
ais acts aid others and ennoble
himself. But the killer only kills
just kills, kills, kiIlsl
Be a boosteri
This town has many boosters,
and You all know them, you adj
mire them, you respect them And
your respect is more precious to
the genuine booster than is your
gold. II is only the killer who
stands alone, without friends, with
out hope for the future.
Be a boosterl
There may be killer or two
in this town, but we hope not. But
ii there are any we hope they win
cease killing and go to boosting. |
There is no honor or profit in kill
ing, but there is much to be gained
through boosting.
Be a boosterI
We need the booster-we need
more boosters. But we can exist |
without the killer, for
The killers principal diversion in
life sto take knock at the town,
at its people, at their ways, and at
everything and everybody connect
d therewith-except the killer.
Be boosterl
If there are many killers in this
own let's convert them, so we can
Ill be boosters. The booster is of
Ialue to every legitimate thing
With which he comes in contact,
While the killer is not even Of
-alue to himself.
Heaven loves boosten-and
lell is full of killers.
Everybody boost!

People are doing quite a little
talking and reasoning on political
topics these days, and they win
continue to buzz around until after
the years elections have become
history. Then they viii promptly
forget all about it and the people
they have placed in Office win pro-
coed to do as they please through
out their terms, and there are
times when what pIeases the Office
holder is anything but pleasing to
the men who put him there.
Right there, Mr.. Voter, is where
we make very great mistake. We
should keep right after the Office
holder with as much persistency
after election as he employed In
Fostering us for our votes before
election.
We should talk things over
among ourselves, and decide what
we need, and what is best for our
collective welfare, and then we
should hang onto the Office holder
ike hungry dog grips bone un-
til he gets what We want or it is
shown not to be within the bounds
of possibility.
If the official goes to veering of
on some fool course it should be
up to us to tell him in pointed
terms to yeer back again and travel
the road that we select for him.
He may be governor, or congress
man, or sheriff, or township official,
all Of which looks and sounds
big to those who like If. But we
are the people and we are a whole
lot bigger than all of the govern
ors, and congressman and other
officials combined. Officials are
merely the hired servants Of the |
people who place them in Office and
who pay them their salaries, and |
their duties are to obey the win Of |
their masters.
, Keep right on talking politics,
and discussing men and conditions,
and pointing out the needs and
Of our section of the 1
state. And don't be afraid to let 4
our public servants hear you talk,
For the more you talk the closer
hey viii listen, and that viii all
cad TO results favorable to us az
4 people and as a community.
After we have talked people
nto Office We should continue right
llong and talk them into doing the
light thing after they get there.
f any Office holder doesn't ike our
,rand Of talk that we are justified
n assuming that we have made a
nistae in placing him there.
Sane discussion of conditions,
md people, and events, is good for
his community, for it serves two
distinct and wholesome purposes.
I brings forcibly to the fore
hose things that are best for us,
md it lets our officials know that
We are keeping both eyes on them
With view to seeing that they
perform their duties as expressed
" our win in manner acceptable
o us.
Every day should be campaign
