Take pains to train out any un-

as it appears. Govern as far as
possible by love rather than force,
and by example more largely shan
by precept.
Town fathers, usually compelled
to be away from their children all
day long, have no such opportun-
ity for training their children as
farm fathers have; but mere OPP
portunities amount to nothing un-
less they are utilized, and far too
many farm parents make no use

WHY THIS TOWN THRIvEs

The successful business man
must base his life upon honor and
integrity. Beyond and outside Of
these, he must have the compound
of initiative, aggressiveness, de-
termination, practicability and
vision which America. in her love
for condensation has chosen to
style pep
The successful, wide awake, and
progressive town must possess the
same qualities. 1t must have the
judgment to realize that its pros
perity and growth depend on tt
home advantages which it can of
fer. And it must have vision
enough to see that expenditures
which secure these advantages are
not an extravaganza but an asset.
Money spent in local improve
ments such as paved street and
school buildings is money well
spent. Undertaking these im-
provements is like making an ex-
cellent investment, which is bound
to return dividends. The gain to
the town reacts to the comfort
and benefit Of every citizen.
Who wants to live in a town
without "pep", a town which
drags out it's monotonous exist
ence without growth or improve
ment? When the question Of a
local improvement comes up,
stand behind it, "'boost' it, work
for it, vote for it. Install local
improvements and you will see
your town sought by business en-
terprises and manufacturing. =
