NeishbOrS As Mutual Friends,

There is a much satisfaction in
living SO that you have the conf
dence of your neighbors. When
neighbors have confidence in you
and trust you, not only in affairs
connected with transaction be-
tween individuals, but the general
welfare the community, you may
well congratulate yourself that you
have lived a useful life.
1t is we'll that men accumulate
wealth that will enable them to be
of benefit to society. But the
wealth they acquire is by no means
the full estimate of their service to
humanity and to the state and the
nation. Each citizen has personal
responsibility and personal worth
in the community. Wealth as i'm
portant hs it may be is not more
important than the life and char
acter of the man that produced it.
The sympathy, encouragement and
help you give to your neighbors
may be of more benefit to those
in need of such assistance than the
richest men in the community.
1t does not require great loss of
time to be of help to ones neigh.

Courteous Treatment

Courtesy is a great asset i'll bust
ness. 1t brings in larger returns
for the amount invested than any
other capital, yet it is not always
invested cor even kept as surplus.
Ask the successful people you
know what has been responsible
for their rise in the world and you
will be surprised at the influence
attributed to courtesy.
A courteous person is always po-
pular and will win in any contest
against the discourteous. Isn't it
strange that there is not more
courtesy among people in the pub
lie service?
Young people who are trying to
make a start in the world would do
well to practice courtesy, for it will
he very difficult matter to sue
coed without this characteristic.
The public detests a CROUCH
business men hesitate to employ
one; society is injured by such
people.
But no one can successfully act
courteously when in fact such a
person is not courteous. People
will be the judge. They cannot
lie deceived. Courtesy is the re-
suit of courteous acts. One may
deceive us in some respects, but
surely not in trying to act courte-
