Improvement Club Notes

Let's get acquainted "Get better
acquainted with your neighbor-you
might like him."
That's a pretty good motto for .
community like ours, isn't it?
Townspeople should get better ac-
quainted with country folks. The
merchants should get to know tho
farmers and how they are farming
and the obstacles that the farmer has
to overcome to make a success of his
work.
The man in business has stretches
of hill road while on his way to .
years success.
Why not get together, man to man,
and talk over your aims and ambi-
tions with the man with whom you
do business.
Get together, get aequainted-you
might like each other.
