If you want to live in the kind OF
town, like the kind of town you like,
you needn't slip your clothes in grip
and start on long, long hike, you'll
only find what you've left behind,
there's nothing that's really new, its
knock at yourself when you knock
your town, it isn't the town it's you.
Your town will be what you want it TO
be, it isn't the town it's you.

town than its paper; it is a better
criterion to go by and is considered
so by sagacious men, than a photo
graph; it is the enterprise of the
Inhabitants and not the size of the
buildings that make the town. You
may pick up paper and read at a
glance, "We mean business" or "We
are deader than stuffed bird" as
plain as though IL was printed in ten.
