MAN THINKETH SOISHE
YOUR TOWN IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
BOOST-EVERY GOOD WORD HELPS

II don't know" said the farmer
who lived there, about like all other
folks | suppose. How were they
where you came FRONT"
II tell you friend THAT sort Of a
bird always calls everybody and ev-
erything friendl that is just why
am moving had the rottenest
bunch of neighbors ! ever saw in my
life They would lie and steal and
gossip about you with you looking
them right in the eye. They were
the sorriest bunch Of folks | ever saw
in my life. / just had 70 move to
eet away from them"
The farmer shook his head "Pm
sorry Mister, but | am afraid you
will find them about the same way
here -
We usually find what we are look
ing for. Any fool can find fault but
il takes a man TO start something
constructive
In every town you will find folks
who will sit fiat and wait until some
body starts something progressive or
constructive and then come alive just
as though you had stuck a hot wire
20 them. They kick and howl until
you can hear them mile and folks
made want to believe that the whole
town is against the move just be-
cause a measly little half dozen howl
ers yell themselves hoarse.

"As a man thinketh--so is he -
the wording may be a little OF but
the meaning is there. The same
thing will hold true of city When
every human that lives in town be-
lieves that the town is the best in
the state, the cleanest, most progress
sive, constructive, winningest town
in the whole country you are going
70 find just such a town right there.
Whenever the majority of the
folks that live in a town think it IS
rotten, dead and going to the bow
vows, It is time for the real folks to
move for il certainly is on the road
to that very place or condition.
The story is told of a traveller that
stopped at the town pump IN small
town to water his team one evening
about shutdown. His covered wagon
was piled with all Of his worldly
goods, and trailing behind was a run
down buggy with tubs, stove pipes
and saddles tied on TO it. They were
moving.
A farmer stopped his team at the
same pump and the two fell into con-
servation. The traveller, after the
usual remarks about the weather,
politics, crops, etc, asked
what sort of folks live here
friend? This looks like a mighty
good sort Of country and | might To-
cate here if the folks are the right
kind"

Plans are now under way for the

the village of Nash, permission for
the same having been obtained for
the erection of the same from Bishop
Koudelka of the Superior diocese.
The church when completed will be
under the direction of FIR. Bede of
Ashland and will be under the
charge of FIR. Charron.
The church is to be built of brick
which has been doanted by the JOS.
Brenner Co. Of Barksdale and is to
be 24x70 in size with Is foot wall
and will be modern and up-to-date
in every respect.
1t is said that this church will be
erected near the site of a church
which was built by FIR. Marquette in
1868 and which was in charge of
FIR. Baraga when this region was
inhabited by the Indians. Other
churches were also built by FIR. Mar
quette during that period on Made
line and on the Bayfield, peninsula,

as RESULT OF LAND
CLEARING ASSOCIATION
Powder Agents are After the
Business and Competition is
Getting Keen for the Busi-
ness.

The purchasing committee notified
the office of the Land Clearing As
soc:ation that they have guarantee
of Is cents per pound for 20e0 dy-
Mantle if 5 cars or more are taken
in this county. This is a saving of
$3.50 per 100 lbs of dynamite if it
was ordered in lots of only one car.
If bought in thousand pound lots,
powder would cost you $4.75 per
100 pounds more and if ordered in
100 pound lots it would cost $7.25
per hundred more than in car lots.
Last year there were over IL car
loads used nthe county. Thus thru
the organization we expect to use
at least 20 carloads. If we can
group all orders in our county and
handle in car lots, the present offer
of one and one-half percent drop in
price, will save our farmers $4,000.
If the price should go up in March
we will be protected at Is cents per
pound. We will also get the benefit
of any drop in price between this
time and when delivery is made.
The advantages of this association
are becoming mbrp evident, altho
we have not been organized but a
short time. Lets all boost our asso-
citation and clear more land in 1921.

TO BE SOME AFFAIR.

Interest is not waning in the least
over the Get-to-gether BOOSTER
party to be staged at the Y. M. C.
A. on the evening of April 1st, but

the 'Y" directors to increase the
capacity of their building in order
to accommodate the crowds that will
attend this party.
Committees have been lined up,
representing every branch Of labor,
profession and business and it will
without doubt be the biggest
dancing party and get-to-gether
time that has ever been held in the
city.
Just keep the party in mind and
BOOST-only enough will be charg-
ed to defray expenses, the party
having been planned to get the
people of the city together, in one
big, social time.
