THE BOOSTER
AND THE KILLER

Nearly every town has two classes
of citizens-the boosters and the xii
lers All the world loves the former
but even the devil shuns the latter
Be boosterl
The town booster is known by eve
rybody, 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 booster!
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 accomplished. 1t is
only the killer who falls of his own
weight, of his own words, of his own
deeds
Be boosterl
The booster is like a ray of sun
shine on a cloudy day. HE brightens
everything and everybody around him.
His geniality, his cheerfulness, his
energy and his good deeds breed hope
in the bosom of despair. His words
and his acts aid others and ennoble
himself. But the killer only kills
just kills, kills, kills!
Be booster,
", o. r1d
you all know them, you admire them.
you respect them. And your respect
is more precious to the genuine boost
er than your gold. 1t is only the
killer that stands alone, without
friends, without hope for the future.
Be boosterl
There may be killer or two in this
town, but we hope not. But if there
are any we hope they will cease kill
ing and go to boosting. There is no
honor or profit in killing, but there
is much good to be gained through
boosting.
Be booster!
We need the booster-we need more
boosters But we can exist handsome
ly without the killer. for the killers
principal diversion in life is to take
knock at the town, at its people, at
their ways, and at everything and
everybody connected therewith-ex-
cept the killer.
Be q booster
If there are any killers in this town
let's convert them, so we can all be
boosters. The booster is of value to
every legitimate thing with which he
comes in contact, while the killer is
not even of value to himself.
Heaven loves booster-and hell is
full of killers.
Everybody boostl

WOULD YOU
VOLUNTEER

The Statesman Friday sent to Pres
ident Wilson, and it was transmitted
to the war department, suggestion
that force of rugged men from the
plains and mountains of Idaho and
other western states be recruited for
service in Mexico in case, of course,
prolonged campaign there seemed
inevitable The suggestion was favor
ably received and it was stated that,
if volunteers were needed, these ran
gers doubtless would be given
chance to enlist The demand would
be for men who can endure hardship
and privation if necessary, who are
accustomed to roughing it and can
take care of themselves in rough
country under most any circum-
stances, who know how to shoot and
who are as courageous as they are
rugged and resourceful. Possibly the
services of such men will not be
needed. BUT In anticipation Of call,
The Statesman will be glad to receive
and compile information a. to any
Idaho men who would be willing to
respond, tho facts to be submitted to
the authoritie. at the proper time.
If you would like to enlist In such q
ranger organization, and feel that you
could qualify, send your name and
address and any other pertinent In
formation to Tho Statesman at once.
This tender will be regarded ~ con-
fidentiaI on request.
