There are two mighty good ways
to kill off your favorite town. One is
to stand on the street corner and rave
about this being "the best little old
town in the state" and never turn your
hand to doing one thing to make 1t
all that you say it is. The other is to
stand on the opposite street corner and
criticize everything progressive that is
being done. Growing about the tax
es is also helpful method in the pro-
cess in case the first two suggestions
don't work as speedily as they should.
To be an effectual town-killer, by any
means whatsoever, you must have a
definite aversion to anything that
looks like working for the public well
fare-that is absolutely essential.
