Which shall it be? Shall we
beautify this city the best we can!
Shall we do things as they do in
other modern, progressive cities, in
our own humble way? Shall we
move on and keep moving on to-
ward some higher goal, or shall we
yield to the still small voice of the
chronic croaker who never sees good
in anything but that which brings
in him dollar and keeps him from
spending 10 cents? Washburn has
gone en- record in favor of going
forward. The Woman's Council,
the Commercial Club, the City Coun-
ell, the Superintendent of Schools,
the School Board, the Banks and
Bankers. the Churches, the Boys
Scouts, the most of the merchants
and private citizens, both men and
women and ALL of the young peo-
Pile, have declared themselves for
making Washburn better and
more beautiful city in which to live.
