Community Development.

A community, like an indivi-
dual, must grow better by a
closer and more intimate know
ledge of the4things Immediate
ly enyironing it. It must grow
through q bigger, broader view
of the obligations Of life.
A community fails to grow
when the average Of it's citizens
fail to grasp the spirit of pro-
grees. 50 a community is not
bettered by better conditions
environing afew homes, but by
better conditions environing
the many-the average homes.
And even when a community
has better homes, it hash t all
tit must have better churches,
better schools, and the extern
sion Of the educational thought
in many directions before il
reaches the high point Of com
munity spirit. IT must have
lecturers, libraries, sermons,
amusements, sports. and all Of
the things in an educational
way that make men and wo-
men bigger and help them to
throw off the cares of life and
enjoy its blessings.

TRUE LovE-H0W TO KNOW II

@eFENG#iEH-E
True love, in any man, is the essence
Of unselfishness-and the most selfish
thing 'in the world.
True love, in the poet, is expressed
In soul kisses, and by his inability to
do any work for days at q time.
True love, In the a man, is ex-
pressed bysa desire to beat a woman
and to pull her around by the hair.
True love, In an author, is demon
strated by his self-restraint in refus-
ing to make copy" out Of a love al
fair.
True love, In a born ffrt, Is evil
denced by his inability to think Of any
other woman while he is kissing a par
ticular one.
True love can be no deeper than
your capacity for friendship, No
higher than your ideals, and no broad
er than the scope OF your vision.
True love Is nothing but friendship,
highly intensified, favored with senti.
ment, spiced with passion. and sprin-
kled with the stardust Of romance.
We speak Of failing in love- as
though It were a pit or an abyss; but
true love Is the light on the mountain
top, to which we must eternally climb.
True love, in a husband, is e
pressed by his willingness to. give his
wife anything, from the tenderest piece
Of steak to q divorce, II 1t will make
her happy.
It Is the flash Of light, by which one
sees clearly that to do for another,
give to another, and sacrifice for an.
other will gel. one the most happiness
out Of life.
True love, In q bachelor, Is exemplt
fed by his willingness to marry q
woman against all his instincts, his
nj OF self-preservation, and his bet
tel Judgment.
Il still exists, here and there, like
the buffalo; but In the face Of eugen,
ics, fern1nisrn, war, and the growing
masculine determination not to marry.
II may some day have to take q place
beside the dinosaurs In the. public
museum.
