A great many people fondly imagine
that if they are honest, pay their
debts and do not speak disparagingly
of other people, they are among the
mainstays of the town. But such is
not always the case. Honesty and q

mended, but his town needs more than
| that. 1t needs citizens who will &C
out of their way to do something fol-
the town, who will labor to better
local conditions, who will go their
length to bring new industries anC
new people to the community. Such
people as these are in reality the
nainstays of a town.
