BOOST THE HOME TOWN

The old idea of town was that
it was a group of people who gath
cred in one location to obtain GER
tain conveniences, but who were
isolated in their business relations.
They never seemed to feel that
they had close business interests
in common. 1t was everyone for
himself, and the devil take the
hindmost. AS a consequence the
devil usually took them all. The
modern idea is that a town is 4
community of people whose bust
ness and civic relations are mex
tricably interviewer. They are
not competing rivals grabbing for
the biggest shares of certain linz
tied business. They are partners
in a joint effort to render the most
efficient service to the state and
country. Their success depends on
all elements working tremendously
together to produce a maximum
result. The first result of this con-
ception, should be the realization
that people do well to support all
the enterprises of their home
town. If they give large part
of their business patronage to
dealers living somewhere else, they
defeat the ends for which they are
working, and place prohibitive
limits on the growth OF the COM
munity.-Littleton Courier.

! DON'T TELL THE NEWS
- PAPERS

What a familiar sound the fol-
lowing has to the average news
paper man:
George w. Clark of Morrisville
and Alphonse Affair of Gilmore,
pleaded guilty to breach of No. 1919
of the laws of 1921 REGARDING driv-
ing their teams without light on
the wagon. One of the men asked
that the information be kept out
of the newspapers.
There was, of course, some es-
pecial, exceptional and conclusive
reason why the name of George or
Alphonse should be kept out of
the newspapers. There always is.
The man who violates the law,
systematically and successfully,
cynically congratulates himself
that he is getting away with it,
Clark and Affair undoubtedly
knew it was against the law to
drive their teams without lights;
always had done SO, no one likely
to file a complaint against them;
sidelight costs 81 or S.: why
should they worry?
Then, when actually hailed into
court and acquainted with the law
and its consequences:
Judge, for Gods sake don't let
the newspapers get hold of this.
1t will kill my wife.
Men whose consideration for
their wives usually takes the form
of working them half to death, re-
stricting their pleasures and OPP
portunities and generally acting
the dog about their own houses,
suddenly develop terrific tender
ness for their wives or mothers
WIN Caught with the goods"
Strong men have been known to
weep when making stereotyped re-
quest to the hard-hearted editor:
~ never was arrested before,
Mr.. Editor. / don't mind for my
self, but my poor, old mother new
er knew l took a drink in my life.
It'll kill her"
Hangover" tears, easily shed,
follow these touching remarks.
Threats, offers to bride, pressure
brought to bear by friends-what
lengths sinners will go ito conceal
their sins! =
1t never seems to occur to them
that the disgrace, if there is any,
does not come in the publication
of their deeds, but in committing
them.
