combining to draw business to the
community. This means the gradual
building up of the community to
which business is brought and the
gradual weakening Of the community
which loses trade. It IS another ex-
ample of cooperation winning over
go-it-alone methods. Publicity has
played and is playing a wonderful
part in making and unmaking indi-
viduals, business corporations and
communities. These days mark a
long advance from the time when
one business concern fought it's rival
with bitter hatred and huge stride
from those days when one individual
stood in his own light and advance
ment because he feared his neighbor
would profit by business more than
he. Community effort will easily ac-
complish the seemingly impossible
task, while individual efforts often
fail to bring results worthy of the eff
fort The survival of the fittest is
an old and cruel truism, but the pro-
cess of elimination is gradually GO
ing on. Some towns and commune
ties are gradually dying because OF
a lack of cooperative effort, while
other centers are moving rapidly be-
cause the whole crowd pushes
Jealousies, bicker ings, back billings
and kicking is the surest way tc
strangle a community and drive from
it those individuals who have vision
and initiative. Watch the coopera-
tive methods of those communities
which are progressing.

Charity, Present and Past.
(Littleton, N. H., Courer)

Many people when asked to SUBJ
scribe to such a public cause as the
Red Cross, will make the objection
that they are "sick and tired of
drives" During the war, they say,
there was one long procession Of So
licitors asking money for public caus-
es, and since the war, it has been
about the same. These people should
consider how comparatively little
people do in a personal way for the
benefit of others. Our fathers and
mothers who lived in country towns
used to constantly go out to watch
with sick people, sitting up all night
after tiresome days labor. There
were but few nurses then, and most
of the labor of caring for the sick
pie lived closer to the suffering and
the poor in those days, and when
anyone needed assistance everyone
knew it, and took hold to help.
The spirit Of hospitality was more
prevalent in those times. Families
would give home for months and
years to unfortunate relatives, free
ly supplying them with food and
clothing. In country towns still, peo-
pie gather to the home Of some sick
man, and saw and split his wood
pile or get in his crops. And they
do these things gladly, and find pleas
ure in serving others. And yet
there are folks living in towns and
cities who get grouchy because a few
times year some solicitor comes
around for charity, which takes the
place of all this intimate and per-
sonal service that people used to Of
fer SO freely. People in these times
are giving less than the old-timers
used to. The trouble with many of
us is that we are concentrating our
thoughts on our own advancement
and pleasl re, so that appeals for
a kind and generous spirit may not
find us ready to do our part, or to
enjoy the satisfaction that is to be
found in irving.

Seeing the Girls Home in Vermont.
Of course when Winter took his seat,
And clubs and things began to meet,
And singing school was running
strong,
And magic lanterns came along
Twas nothing strange that girls and
boys
Should kinder share each others
joys;
But, when you scarcely hadn't seen
A girl since grass was getting green,
1t took some nerve, I'll tell you that,
To walk right up to Minnie Pratt,
Or Flora Flagg, or Susie Guile,
Or any girl that dressed in style,
And ask if you could see her home,
Attest as if you owned a bronze.
You had to have your overcoat
All on, and tippet round your throat;
You had to ask her right in sight
Of half the folks, and where twas
light;
You seed. her, though she didn't
And yet, YOU had to wear the air
Of one who simply happened there;
You spoke to everybody near,
And showed no signs of funk or fear
But kinder fixed your walking stick
In shape to move COMPOUNDED quick,
And, when the supreme moment came
You stepped right up and spoke her
name.
My gracious! If she smiled and said
with pleasure, Mr.. Buttonhead,"
You felt load fall off your back
AS heavy as pedlar's pack,
nd q
pinch
She side-stepped bout half an inch;
Recovering from this slight alarm,
You eased trifle on her arm,
And walked along so brave and true
You didn't care who spotted you;
And when she said, "Good evening
Benz"
You vowed you'd not be scarf again
But it's fact-you amt to blame
You'll be worked up about the same

Christmas is fast approaching. The
spirit of the season is one that should
not be lost under any consideration,
for the spirit of Christmas, above all
other holidays, is that spirit which
has transformed the world from pa
ganism. This is commercial age
and the tendency to bury the spirit of
Christmas under an avalanche of
gifts, forgetting the blessings usher
ed in with the birth Of Jesus, should
be guarded against. Christmas is a
birthday-the birthday of Saviour.
1t should be a joyous, gracious, gen.
erous festivity. Let us make our
1921 Christmas the best Christmas of
our lives.

Orleans county is already casting

best name thus far mentioned is Wal

it is hoped he will, he would receive

to the part the church has played in

ment that a supplementary volume
containing a history of the church is
to be published soon. Many claim re-

The effects of thorough organiza-
ton are beginning to make them
selves felt in Vermont in no uncertain
way. Our farmers are not only send
ing beef direct to market, but they
are also specializing and receiving
high prices for an unusually good ar
ticle in dairy and poultry products,
fruit, potatoes and so on. We ex-
pect to see still further development
in these directions when our farmers
become more fully aroused to the ne
cessity of organized effort and STAN
dardization of products on the theory
that it is cheaper to raise and mar
ket the best than the poorest.

To those who have no recourse in

Is burdensome. We must fight against
disease. Regard must be paid to
health. Moderate exercise must be
adopted So much of meat and drink
must be taken. Senile folly, which is
commonly called dotage. belongs to
weak old men. but not to all. For, as
| like young men in which there is
something of the old, SO like old men
IN whom there is something of the
young. One WHO always lives in these
pursuits and iabors for the welfare Of
the state does not perceive when old
age steals upon him.-Cicero.

Serbia S Recovery

Serbia has returned to normally with a speed
and determination that is as remarkable as her
devastation and misery were complete when the
armstice was signed. Correspondents of The
Associated Press who recently made survey OF
that country report that rifles and swords have
been turned into ploughshares by the energetic
husbandry of that country which today is not
only able to feed its own population, but to
export butter, cheese and eggs in immense guam
titles.
A correspondent, writing from Agram, Jugo-
Slavia, remarks that the marvellous rehabilita-
ton of that country may be set down "as due
principally to the industry, common sense and
determination of her thrifty men and women !;
secondly, to the absence of bolshevism; thirdly,
to the immense moral impetus given the popula-
ton by America and other generous neighbors
in the day when the country was destitute and

This is cheerful news in a day when many
plans are being suggested for the rehabilitation
of war-torn countries. Serbia has come back
because she wanted to come back. She had the
willpower and determination to act when once
she was set on her feet American generosity
gave that country start, but Serbia refused to
stay in the pauper class and set out to redeem
itself by hard work and thrift. Bolshevism was
