Tuesday evening made sad mistake
as the program which followed was
one of the rarest treats ever given IN
Iamar-not alone for fun-and there
was plenty of that to satisfy even the
Village Cutups, but also for the soiid
facts and good business sense contain
ed in many of the talks. The commit
tee had succeeded in arranging just
the right balance between serious af-
fairs and fun so that none had an op-
bortunity TO get tired of commonplace
bpt important affairs and there was
never a surfeit of joking-just the
r;pht amount to digest good dinner
and send the guests away in pleasant
frame of mind and yet loaded with
facts and enthusiasm for Lamar.
A very pleasing feature of the whole
evening was the music furnished by
t,. v NJ r.. orchestra, which had been
snecially organized for the occasion
and rendered an almost continuous
nropram of high-class selections all
tbrough the dinner hour. The vocal

/. what we have to say.
Our town is what you make it
It's you, not the other guy;
For If every one should boost it,
It's city bye and bye.
The main thing is to praise it,
The town that shelters you.
You owe it to your neighbor
To praise il and always do.
Sometimes you may get lonesome,
Sometimes you may get blue.
That's not the towns fault;
It's you; yes. it's you.
The mayor may not do the
Things you think the best.
But folks, he's only human.
No better than the best.
The council may be lax sometimes
Enforcing your pet law,
But don't blame them all the time:
Say they're the best you ever saw.
The preacher may not preach as good
Every Sunday that you go.
But always praise the preacher
And his congregations bound to grow
The paper may not publish
Everything you want them TO
But don't cuss the editor.
He's human-just like you.
When the stranger comes TO see you,
Have the glad hand and smile.
Tell him we have the best town
The city that's worth while.
Make him envy you for living
In the best town in the land;
Make him want to come to live here
And lend n helping hand
Always wear smile OF happiness
Every day throughout the year;
Always have a brand of sunshine
Attend all the public meetings
That will help to boost the town;
And when you hear a booster talk
Why smile and never frOwn.
The town is what you make it,
No matter what they say;
And to keep making il better
You must boost il every day.
Now everybody pull together!
Don't knock, don't fuss or kick.
II you all do this together
II will be city mighty quick.
