/ it. Some are temperate, some in
some modest of their qualities; in
fact you can take every peculiarly
that is found in man and you will
| find it developed to a greater degree
in some community.
To find out the character of a COM
munity is but to ascertain, by an in
tervieW with it, what its ideas are
and what its purpose is and what
its past has been, and size it up,
just as you would an Individual you
proposed to employ or to go into
business with.
The only way an individual can be
improved or educated is by develop
ing his best qualities, training him
along the lines in which he is best
qualified to make good, teaching him
to abandon dreams he cannot &C.
complis'', and go after the real
things he can reasonably hope to
gain. No other course will make
him a success.
In training a community these
foregoing policies obtain; likewise
the necessity of training good to
overcome the bad. Evil will some
times die out if the good be suff1ci-
emily forced into action, but as rule
is aggressive and the evils of town
must be removed after the same
manner they are removed from an
individual, through teaching that
they are destroying the community,
holding it up to ridicule and affect
ing the confidence of the country in
it. A community must see the truth
as muc has man-it must see its
own faults. The whole world may
be talking about it and condeFnng
it and the community like some
abandoned person. actually glory
ing in its disgrace. Nothing seem
ingly will check it, but time comes
when reaction sets in, and by and
by what was once town of possibili-
ty has lost its grip and now is mere
ly station aofng the line, mere
name on the time table. dot on the
map that is no longer thought of as
an example as in former years, but
as type Of failure to be warned by.
True community has longer life
than the individual and can come
back" largely because through years
its reputation will be forgotten, but
it must COME BACK of its own
strength, and power must come from
within, and the desire be born in tie
heart.
Like an individual, a community
must be reached through it's senses,

I, and in just such proportion a. each
individual in that community refus-
es to exercise his senses, the com
munity must suffer.
The personality of q community
and its reputation as each individual
in that community refuses to exer-
else his senses, the community must
suffer.
The personality Of community

the personality of its individuals,
and the exhibition of q certain char
acteristic by a community IL posi-
tive proof that its citizens as .
whole. or at least In pfeponderance.
possess that particular characteristic
that needs a change. Education.
alone must form the basis. On one
hand will be found a certain proper
t1on of timing, active men, on the
other a class Of unthinking and
slothful. There Is also q class Of
idlers, dissatisfied. out of place, and
so on.
The willingness to learn on the
part Of citizen, however humble or
obscure. is a far better basis upon
which to build than the mere popu-
larity of a man who is catering 70
public opinion; in this analysis 10
take into consideration only the
mental qualities OF the citizen, his
capability for development AZ q citi-
zen. his desire to learn, and worldly
goods or the lack of them, educar
tional advantage or the lack Of Il,
social position or the lack of 1t, arc
not material.
A community is of great value n
the material development of the COM
mun1ty as q community-not solely
as an industrial center, but as q good
place to live in, and has q far-reach-
ing influence In determining the adj
vantages for large industries that
might seek labor in that community,

able to readily determine the labor
questions, social questions and such
phases of life among their employees
as vitality affect them, II they show
an analysis OF the community.
The individual of a community can
be gathered under three classes
which deal entirely with their char
acteristics, and are:
First-The Constructive Class.
Second-The Destructive Class.
Third The Parasite.

Constructive and the Destructive

EMBATTLEO AMERICAN
FARMER OF YEAR 1917

Times change In the Revolutionary
war it was the "embattled farmers"
who fired the shot heard around the
world.
Today the American farmer is again
doing something that will be heard
around the world. but in a different
way.
The world is waiting on the Amer.
lean farmer for its food Its hope is in
him. 1t wishes him good weather and
abundant crops, and it will pay him
well
The farmer will help win battles
that he will never see. For our boys
at the front will be well fed and coura-
geous, thanks to his industry and pa
triotism.
Nor is the farmers part in this
world warm this greatest catastro-
phe history has ever had to record
limited to producing food. He has
his part to play before crops are ready
for harvest. For, right now, the ma
tion needs the farmers support in a
different way 1t needs his cooper
alton on Liberty bonds.
These bonds are issued to equip
our soldier boys with everything they
will need for their safety, comfort and
fighting strength. The government
will pay every bond buyer 81 per
cent interest, free from all taxes, and
will return to him the entire principal
Liberty bonds are a safe, sure, profit
able investment
1t is the hope of President Wilson
that not single farmer in the coun
try will be seen without a Liberty
bond button in his buttonhole.
