"Mony A Mickle Mak's A Muckle'

The Scotch are canny, far-sighted race and their proverbs the quintessence of common sense None more than the printed at the top of this column
 What does it mean? You would like 1t translated into plain Am maricanese"? We'll this is what that string of Harry Lauder sanguage really means-----" Many little makes lot" phis truer than the often quoted fact that and are because once n the dear dead days when we still aspiring in the halls of know ledge we old College Professor who could prove step by step and looking could find no flaw in his reasoning 1til he reached the climax, that and make B. which is manifestly absurd But just the same he proved it by irrefutable algebrac equations.
 So "many little makes lot' is truer than a mathematical axiom and that is certainly being emphatic about the matter.
 But we have not led our reader way out in the ten acre lot of conjecture just to fire truisms at his head Mo- What want to do is to apply this statement to case in point and offer it's aspects for his consideration
 Take the matter of the Municipal Camp Ground in Holbrook It would be " just too swe-e-et for words as an enthusiastic pper remarked to have one all de- c3rated up with the very latest style ovens, corlce lights shower baths and But since to start on this prententous scale would be impossible why not do the best we can and improve our site by degrees! Why should we sit back and do nothing simply be- cause we can't do it all. Half loaf makes consider able more toast than bread If we do no more than clean up the chosen spot make few stone firepaces for out of door cookery and provide some drainage, all of which can be done by members of the community it will at least be start in the right direction. The tour ists will appreciate what has been done and will be len. tent with our short comngs But if do nothing at all it is very probable that will be put the verbal blacklist of that is passed from mouth to mouth by the rowing tourist.
 If we all get together certain specified day we could put this project short order It would be great help in ''selng" Holbrook and the scenic at fractions surrounding her to the automobile tourist. B When this day was decided upon it would be entire ly within the bounds of possibility that the could be counted upon to provide the eats for the of Adam who toed If the town council could be prevail ed upon to negotiate for the land needed for the site of the camp ground, this land to belong to the city and eventually to be used city park, it would be easily possible to raise enough money in day to de- fray the initial expense. The greater part could be accomplished by donated" labor
 Men who understand masonry could build fire places from rocks hauled from the by others who own teams. Almost anyone can weld shovel for a day. if it would not be his chosen life work Carpen ter backsmiths of every sort of talent could put it to good use and the evening of the day would find many things accomplished.
 As soon as the committee appointed to negotiate further concerning the land makes its report mmedi ate action should ensue Tourists going through here by the hundreds every day. we fail to interest them in what we have to show, merely because of diatoriness deserve the financial loss to the munity which will inevitably follow.
 To get Jack to our proverb. Let's see that all the itte things we can do at this time, and in times to come, will after awhile make camp ground all we wish it to be. Many small effort added to other small efforts, finally produces worthwhile results. Because we can't do wonderful things let's not refuse to work at all If you couldn't get million dollars, is that any reason why you should dsdan the thousands that you can possess?
 The camp ground is BUSINESS NECESSITY for Holbrook. Wecan build it little by little Let's start "Mony micke mak's muckle."
