PIONEERING.


Pioneering has always been at

the next Democratic State Assembly.
Already the people are taking
stock of recent activities and before
another twelve months they will
know to a certainty many things
now strongly suspected. Public
servants Will be weighed in scales OF
finest balance. Those who serve in
high places and far from home will
have their records scanned as never
before. If the analysis discloses
ability only to get their country into
war and its attendant grief, and only
inability to protect the country from
burdens that ought to cease with the
silence of arms the verdict Is going

VIII The Little Town Always Be
Tiftle2

There are in the United States, in
round numbers, about 1000 small
towns. Half of them have a popu-
lation of but 500, or less.
Every small town expects soon to
become a populous, thriving city. You
live or have lived in one of them.
Not one of them is ready to accept
the fate of small town, with the
idea of making the most of the stu
alton 1t may be well for the small
towns to know the following facts:
Just few little towns grow to be
big and grand. Just very limited
number grow at all Each year
there are a number of new towns to
compete with the $4,000 already in
existence Then every year there
are a number of towns that give up
the ghost entirely. County seat
owns have a better chance to grow
than others,b but even with them two
thirds are non-progressive or are
actually declining With other
,mall towns the probability of growth
is even less.
Therefore-it is foolish for the
small town to wait until next year
to improve the schools: it is foolish
for the small town to walt until there
ire more people before 1t puts in side
walks; it is foolhardy for the little
own to wait until next year when
here Will be more probability for
taxation to put in a water system
and sewer system to safe guard the
health of the people; 1t shows poor
judgement for the little town to wait
a year or two to plan for the social
and religious life OF its people. The
very life of the little town lies in its
doing now what 1t has been in ten
ding to do tomorrow. This is one
way to success.
1t is no disgrace to live in little
town, but for the people of the little
