Permanent highways are one thing
needed in the rapid development Of
the Salmon country All recognize
this fact and all are bending their en-.

A fellow citizen of Salmon has
handed in the following prescription
as tonic for the town: it would
seem to be about what every com
munitV needs:
Don't be the man who put sit In
city.
Building good houses builds good
town.
Good roads lead not only to town,
but to money.
Be live one and the town will
never be a dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knOckersy
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
A good way to make the world bet
ter is to begin with the home town.
A town is like a persmbulatOr; 1t
is not much good unless pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
about what sou could do II you had
the time.
he like the ball player. The thing
he is always looking for is home.
Be one OF the leaders OF the town II
you cau; but anyway keep up.
Don't be a Rrodch. Every body In
this town wishes you we'll, even tie
doctor.
Let's not be trying 10 stop, SINE
thing all the time Let's start some
thing.
A good tosn will do more TO keep
the boys at home than good advice.
The world owes everybody living
but the street corner is a poor col
lection agency.
Don't look for soft snaps the hard
snaps are the ones that have the gin.
ger in them.
Don { spend 50 much tue talking
var that you haven't time to TAX
businss.
1t improves the soup to thro" a
little pepper into IL. Same WITH
the town.
You have to be a citizen In order
to vote: but you've got to do good
teal more than vote to be citizen.
There is only one better man "ho
gets behind and pushes in an effort
10 Improve the town and that's the
man no goes ahesd and pulls.
