IunadcsNeverCooperate' IF. P. Gaines

The Citizens League of Starkville
has gained considerably this week in
the addition of some fourteen new
members-but this is not enough.
The prosperity of practically every
member of a community" to quote
Prof. F. P. Gaines, depends upon
the prosperity of the community as
whole-and the prosperity of the
community depends upon the belief,
cooperation and loyalty of all of it's
members"
"Lunatics never cooperate, and
that is why six understood guards
handle, without any difficulty, more
than 1900 unfortunates in one insti-
tution," says F. P. Gaines, in outlin-
ing the three things essential to the
prosperity and growth of a commun-
ity. First, there must be co-opera-
tion; second, belief in the commun.
ity; third, loyalty"
Many people outside of the county
are; knocking our fair city. This is
not entirely unexpected. But when
az ex-citizen of Starkville says that
this city twill be great place after
a few first-class funerals," he puts il
up to us pretty strong.
Any community is just what it.

but even if it did not have these.
the county could still lead them all
if we could just get together.
The News was advised last week to
"let Starkville rest-that co-opera-
ton and progressiveness was not de-
sired, otherwise the Honor Roll of
the League would be great deal
longer"
Let Starkville rest-and Rot?
Or patiently wait for a few first
class funerals?
No, we think not-not after re-
celving the many new applications
this week. Love Starkville, get to-
gether and work for Starkville-and
the rest is easy.
The League is certainty.
The only question now i,-who are
going to be the ones who think enough
of their city to line themselves up
with this bunch and who will work
fer the things we need.
VINO are they? a glance of the
Honor Roll shows a mighty good
group--but are these all? Are these
the only men in Starkville who care
nNore for The Gollar or two in then
pocket than they do for the thou.
sands that this League can put there ?
No, we think hot-we know not
And for this reason the coupon is re.

M: College band will give a concert.
which will prove a great drawing
card as these boys are popular every
where. Starting at two O'Clock a
series of short talks on poultry rails
ing will be given in the Court room
and will be an event that every per-
son should hear. Prof. Gaines. Claw
ton and Tayes have been secured for

that they are the best in the state.
Following the talks, the judges will
award the ribbons. A cordial invi-
tatlon is extended to the public and
the poultry association, of which T,
M. Montgomery is president, and Miss
Eudora Carpenter vce-presdent,
urges every farmer of the county to
be present.
