REMEMBER THE COMMUNITY

Almost every day we read of some
city man who has died and left some
thing for public use-something for
some school, church, library, park,
or something of the sort. There are
not 80 many people Of wealth in the
country, of course, but because the
country dweller cannot leave much
is no excuse for leaving nothing for
public use. A man who has even
modest means, in fact, should be in
deed ashamed to die without leaving
something to enrich the community
Ia gift for school or Sunday school
library; flag for the school house
or a carpet for the church; fund to
buy school books for fatherless child
rem; a piano for church or school, or
funds for adding an auditorium to
the local school building to serve as
a cnmmunity center Or, 1t may be
land for a playground or school
farm.
We should like to see thousand
farmers remember their communi-
ties this year. 1t is good example
to set in your neighborhood, even if
you are too poor to afford anything
more than SIS to buy a flag for the
school house.
Let's remember our communities
in our wills.-The Progressive Far
