The Bank that does things foryou
Why Towns Grow

1t is too much too expect that the
growth of a town can be obtained by
the alertness merely of the heads of
its industries. The manufacturer is
baked unless his work people thor
oughly cooperate with his ambitionsI
1t is a difficult matter to build UP a
growing industry, unless the employees
are doing their best to make them
selves intelligent in the details of their
craft. They must try to turn out a
product little better than any other
factory or town creates. An industry
in which both employer and employee
are doing their best to turn out an art
icle of superior merit, can hardly help
growing. The town will grow with
it.
Our towns are also learning now
that it is great help if they can de-
velope the agricultural resources of
their own neighborhoods.
A prosperous farm country means
a growing business center to supply
that farm country. Boosting the farm
er boosts the place where the farmer
trades. AS in the case of manufac-
turing industry, farming section will
make faster progress, if it can build
up reputation for some staple of su-
perior quality, for which there is a
growing demand.
If we made a systematic effort for
1t, we could get practically all the
country people for miles around to
come in and trade at the stores of
Grand Rapids. This would mean more
and bigger stores.
If we could double our volume of
retail trade, we would then have here
very unusual body of progressive
and aggressive business men. They
would never be satisfied until they had
secured for this town some new pro-
ductlve industries, turning out some
distinctive products for which there
was growing demand This would
make certain a very large expansion.

loose actions about ownership of pro-
pesty, and think that it is legitimate
to slip easy money into their pockets
when no one is looking.
An orchard or back yard garden
means that some one has put good
deal of work for the improvement of
his home place. A man may have a
lot of sympathy with boys, and at
the same time not like to see his cher
ished fruits, which represented labor,
money and pains, taken away from
him.
Stealing of fruit did not seem so
much of an offense back in the simpler
life of years ago, when fruits and
vegetables were cheap and often rot
ted on the ground. Now that they
cost high and are scarce, it does not
seem much different from stealing
other kinds of property.

The Bury the Hammer Club

Mrs. Broadmind, at our last meet
ing, felt moved to make few re-
marks as to why civic movements Of
ten fail to accomplish what they hope.
''There are too many people" she
said, "who want to know who starts
a thing before they will do anything
to help. If good public movement
is started by some one without much
social prestige or backing, lot of
people will have nothing to do with it.
They say it did not have the right
crowd back of it. They will hammer
it until the person who really had a
good idea becomes discouraged, lets
it drop, and one more good PROPOSE
ton is done to death"
"The knockers seem to feel that in
some way their social prestige will
be prejudiced if they allow themselves
to be identified with people who do not
have prominent social standing. AS
a result, unless you can get the social
leaders of the town to back thing,
it will be knocked to DEATH"
Glow much better it is, when any,
one suggests a good idea, for the social
leaders to encourage them to push it,
and take secondary position if neces-
sary in backing it, and let some one
else have a little credit"
Mrs. Broadmind's remarks were
greeted with applause.

Cleveland NeaOs The president
does not suggest it, but voters are
free to consider between now and
November 5. whether they wish the
republic administered with the Re-
publican wisdom which has produced
prosperity so phenomenal IN past
periods of peace, or whether they wish
the nations culture entrusted to the
same Democratic statesmanship Of the
Kitchin- Underwood Dent Clark Bryan
school, which brought forth the soup
houses and bread lines Of President
Wilson's second year in office, before
the munition trade solved the unem-
pioyment problem and war contracts
raised wages from the depths to 4
height not to be expected after the re-
turn of peace.

In loving remembrance Of Beatrice
Wallace, who departed this life, Octo-
ber 26, 1917.
Sister, dear sister our home is sad,
Where lately your loved form was
known.
And dreary and lonely and dull is the
hearth,
Where the light of your counten-
anee shown
And your voice once was music to
fond loving hearts.
But now it is silent and still.
Sadly we turn in our sorrow and pain
From the grave at the foot of the
hill.
But the fond loving lessons and pre-.
cepts you taught.
Forever shall liyei n our heart
Till we meet you at last on the bright
golden shore
In the land where we never shall
part.

the method of procedure. Mrs. Will

aThe Dictatorship pgoDoatr, y

THE Dictatorship Proposal
Neao York GIobe-The President
freely comedies that the leaders of
the Republican party in congress have
been loyalty pro-war. He brings no
accusation of copperheadism. But he
alleges that they have been anti-ad-
m,nistration and for this offenae hs
would have no Republicans sit in the
house. Appropriations have been free
" voted and a policy of promotion
rather than obstruction has been fol-
lowed. What the president asks for is
substantially q dictatorship during
the period of the war. Many thinga
are to be said in favor of the die
tatorship. Rome in times Of crisis
centered power in the hands oP one
man. But the dictatorship principle
IS not recognized in our Fundamental
laws. On the whole, it would seem
wise to stick to the old American sys-
tenn.

WILL THE NEGRO BE
PREPARED

The end of this great war must
come; the new day is at hand. Will
the Negro be prepared? Great OPP
portunities will be open. Will the Ne
gro be ready to grasp theng The
Negro must seek and will obtain po-
sitions for what he is best fitted by
nature. The trained Negro will do
whatever he is trained to do with all
the skill within him and will be valu-
able to his employer and his country.
The unframed Negro, like the un-
trained white, viii be given the
crumbs from the table OF opportunity.
Then cease to doze by the fireside.
Cease to blame your condition on the
race. Begin to prepare for the day
that is at hand.
A new day for our race IS at hand.
We are emerging from the long night
into daylight that means for US lib
erty and freedom and pursuit Of hap
piness. The great war is our new
emancipation. On the battlefield and
in the workshop the white man is
learning that the black man eats and
sleeps and bleeds as he Shoulder to
shoulder we are helping to carry the
burdens Of the war. Sending our
boys to the front and buying Liberty
bonds. On thinking over the condi-
ton of our race; it appears to my
limited judgment, that our greatest
need as race is unity, as we search
the great records we find that we are
in great measure related to the
crab which, when one tries to climb
to the top in order to become free, the
others reach up and drag him down.
We can recall no other race which has
so little confidence III itself as our
people Search history and you will
find the people who hold the reign of
government are those races of peo-
pie who have faith in themselves.
The only reason can give for our
people being so far apart is the lack
Of confidence in each other and the
sooner we learn to trust each other
the sooner the old ship will move off
towards the goal of success.
hope the time will soon come when
our people will get together. No ma
tion has ever made its way to the
highest possible goal except that ma
tion which stood as one in their eff
forts to win. We, too, can win. when
we learn to trust each other SO long
rs we fail to support and encourage
those who are striving to rise, just 50
long shall we continue to sink beyond
recall. 1t is essential that we learn
to support each other in whatever
step we make toward the uplifting oi
the race. It Is cruel to say, yet it is
true that we, as people, and as d
rule, we look for the sloppy end Of the
stick, and most assuredly, we find it.
This is not the part for US to play
Find way or make way. And as d
race we will never meet with success
until we learn to trust and support
each other
There is much in d united force
and little in single force; and know.
ing this, ! hope the day will soor
come when we can get together al
