In every county and in every
stale can be found towns that arc
continually forging ahead, while
others remain practically at a
stand still and accomplish nothing
in the way of advancement. In
every case the fault can be found
to rest, not with the town, but
with the people themselves. An
exchange has been thinking very
seriously along this line and it
presents its conclusions in this
way:
The reason why some towns
grow is because they have men in
them with push and energy who
are not afraid to spend their time
energy and money in anything
that will boom and benefit the
town. They have confidence
enough in their towns to erect |
substantial and modern buildings
and residences and work for pub
lie Improvements in the same or

They organize companies ard
establish factories, induce indus
trial enterprises 10 locate and use
every means to further the best
interests of the town. Their :
work is never considered finished r
and the accomplishment of one :
thing is only an incentive of an #
other.
"On the other hand the town
that does not get ahead will be f
found to be dominated by either 9
set of men who are perfectly sat 9
isfled with their surroundings and r.
who are afraid somebody else will Il
