saw said the other day, Warsaw can
advertise herself in no better way
than by always doing something that
counts" Thus her neighboring towns
and cities will take note of her i'm
proVements and her industries and
her fame will rapidly spread. We are
apt to say often about any proposed
change, "Oh this is good enough
we've always had it; it will do We
should not be satisfied to stand still
but strive to do better and make uI
our minds that 1T will do, won't
do" as Rev. Geo. Long said in his
address before the Commercial club
of Mason City, Ia, the other day
Ihis thought would be good motto
for Warsaw, as the Bulletin said last

satisfied until we see our bright little
city on a higher plane morally, spirit
ually and commercially and finan

profit to the meeting. a.
Several miles of cement sidewalk
