made was on the 10th day of July,

WHY YOUR HOME TOWN?

DO you ever stop to consider why West Liberty is
your home town? There must be reason WHY everv
citizen makes this town his home. Doubtless every c
zen has some reason that his neghbor has not in addition
to the common reasons why make this our home town.
But there ought to be compelling reasons why this
is your home town.
Ii 1t is because you can make money here that YOU
claim this as your home town your reason is sordid one
not that everyone shouldn't prosper in his business for he
should but there ought be reasons founded upon higher
motives.
Conceding that the major reason whv YOU live hera
is that the social and educational and moral atmosphere
is heer let's see what doing to make the town
better Think over to yourself and ask what you are
DONG IN this way for the betterment of the town
VI course we all agree on that point but there is
tnlancal attitude that we do not agree upon We all
agree that we ought to support the churches schools and
all good endeavos but do not all agree that we should
join together in giving the town advantages that will at
tract others here We don't agree on this point because
we don't work in unity to build up the town 1t is hard
TO get two citizens to join in any for the beterment
OF the town or to start enterprise We could have
an ice plant electric lights canning factory ard MANY
other things if we would get together and WORK in hai-
mony as business When we get so that we are not
afraid to go into venture because we fear that some
one else will make few dollars from it we will have
reached that point where can begin to make the town
better place to live.
Stop moment and think over the question of WHY
this is your home town, and again, what are you doing
to make it town the home-owners may be proud Of

PREJUDGINC THE COUNTRY PRESS

The Louisville Times suggests that the reason why
most Of the State papers opposing the adoption Of

The Times should consider that out in the rural dis

business Aside fro mhe repugnance of the principle Of
centralized power have the proof before us that the
board management of the school affairs is not as salts
factory as the old way 1t may be that the people do not
know what good for them and that they are not capable
6i choosing good officers, but if they don't pay the
freight and it is their look out
Non-parsan boards don't exist and bipartisan boards
are dominated by the majority and it don't get you any
where The Courier is of the opinion that the amendment
allowing the Superintendent to be appointed by board
selected by the Governor ought to be defeated The
principle of the thing is undemocratic
