PLAYING THE GAME

There is only one way for a town
to grow That is from the inside.
While the additional growth may re-
suit from the addition of population
from the outside. there must be
something TO attract people to a
town. and that is what the people in
a town accomplish by team work.
Folks don't come 10 a town that Is
dead. They want a live town In
which to live They want to come
to q town that Is n companionable
place, where the people get on well
together. where strife is absent and
where the rivalry takes the form of
competition in good works for the
advancement of the towns needs
That feeling of good fellowship
can only be secured by cooperation
in the work for the public good; by
keeping faith with each other In the
mutual undertakings OF the city
When the citizens and business men
agree to do certain things everyone
should do his part, keep his word
and abide by the decisions of the ma
iority. Playing lone hand to get
an advantage over business compet-
itorS while of temporary advantage
will not pay In the long run.
The business man or citizen who
essays to play such role will soon
be like the boy whom thd>rest of the
fellows will not play ball with; he
can't make the team, no matter how
good an individual player he may he

REVOLUTION. THAT'S All

Tho statement which the American
Federation issued after It's session
last Sunday afternoon was little less
than reasonable II was false. too,
for II purported to speak for the sem
timent OF all the American people
when II manifestly was but the eX-
pressed opinion OF Samuel Gompers
and his associates On the executive
board OF the Federation.
II is not true that all the American
people, or even majority, approve
OF the methods OF the United Mine
Workers In their attempt TO coerce
the American people into submission
TO their demands. These demands
we're made at time and IN a man
ner that showed plainly an ulterior
motive; namely the naturalization
OF the coal mines OF the nation by
which the miners could hold up the
public when over they saw NJ.
In abjurlng loyalty to the govern
ment Mr.. Gompors and his associates
took n bold step and one which they
will rue one OF these days. ~py their
excesses these leaders have thrown
away the confidence the public once
reposed In the conservative union
men, TO the damage OF the union
movement
There are being heard mutterlngs
about a show down coming from
men who heretofore have been pas
siye on the labor question. They
have taken no interest In such mat
ters for they felt that their interests
were not oiiected, now they know /
better, They realize that there Is a .
effort being made TO revo-
lutlonize our government, and they |
want none Of II,
This effort on the part of the labor
leaders has come In time. II Is to
be hoped that the conservative con-
itructiye, homecoming industrious
Iaboring man will make his voice be
heard In the councils of the unions
In the future so that he will not be
TO the public by the
radicals who are now in power. That

KEEPING FAITH IN BUSINESS.

Business men In the country towns
have big advantage over the mer-
chant of the city, tho they seldom
think so. II is fact that the aver
age income of the resident Of the
smaller communities is greater than
the average earnings of the city fam
ily
According to statistics the average
yearly income of city families is but
$3.50 per year while that of the aver
age country family Is nearly $500.
That means that the average pur-
chasing power of a country family is
six times greater than that OF the
average city family
While the number Of such families
in thecountry is smaller, yet to Sc
cure their trade and to reach them
the country merchant has thru the
country press simple and direct
method, beside having the personal
acquaintance with his trade that the
city merchant can not hope to secure.
Tho city merchant uses the news

bills. catalogs and every means
known to the business OF publicity.
This vast volume OF publicity is
sent out over the country and into
the fields of the country merchant
II gets business too. and the local
merchant wonders why his customers
buy away from home. There IL no
reason for that wonder. The de-
mand ls stimulated by the advertls-
ing. The country resident has one
