COMMUNITY SERVICE PLANS

All over the country bright people
are organizing towns and villages
for better community work. In some
places the fundamental idea is econ
omic, to get farming on sounder
basis, apply modern science, secure
cooperation in buying and selling,
etc.
In other places village improvement
is the fundamental idea. If the town
looks ragged and run down, the or
ganization deyotes itself to cleanup
plans, painting Of houses, barns, and
fences, improvement Of public squares,
streets, parks, and back yards.
Still another form of development
is making an interesting social and
educational life. Many places that
were near the army environments did
much during the war along the lines
of the War Camp Community Ser
vice. They had community sings,
community dances, athletic contests,
boy scout and girl scout organiza-
tions, pageants, dramatics, and lee
lures. They see how helpful all this
kind of work was, they want it con-
tinued, and are forming permanent
organizations TO carry it on.
In many places handsome club
houses are being put up to serve as
the civic center for the whole town,
and the home for all this social life
and ORGANIZATION work.
The ordinary country center and
small city may not be able to attempt
anything elaborate But at least it
should study the methods and results
of the war camp community work, and
apply it as far as possible In great
many places where there are several
struggling churches, too many for the
town to support, one of the weakest
of them ought to close up and join
forces with the rest That would
leave a public building available as a
civic center. These are lines of work
to develop more largely here in Viro-
qua Everything done to make social
life more interesting and wholesome
for the young people helps build the
future of the town on very solid
foundation

Get Rid of Scrub Grains

Why sow scrub grain when you can
buy Winner tanning mill and grade
out the best kernels from your entire
crop of grain to save up for seeding
time? You cannot grow long, plump,
healthy heads of grain from little,

long plump heads at threshing time
to yield bumper crop. Chas. S.Slack
