DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK

That your citizens should have a
common spirit of confidence in your
beautiful city and boost it all the time.
That your live citizens must keep
awake, and waken those who do not
realize the wonderful possibilities of
your city.
That you should boost your wide
awake city. You can't say enough in
her behalf.
That boosters can truly say that
your city is city that leadsi
That they can also say a city, busy
and beautiful, a center of industry and
social comforts.
That live city gives its newspapers
hearty support, knowing that the news
papers are the greatest community
builders in existence.
That the merchant who is not sure
of the quality of his goods, dare not
advertise. Advertising would hasten
the ned of his business. Buy from the
merchant who advertises!
That your city is a city of destiny
and growth. A community of health
and prosperity. Help it grow into a
bigger, better, brighter, and buster
city.
That you may excuse yourself for
some reason or other because you do
not own your home, but excuses and
wishes will never secure a home for
you.
That you should not run treadmill.
Don't go around in circle. Take the
straight road.
That you have wished for home.
You must plan your course, chart
your route that you would follow, and
go ahead. Now is the time to get
busy.
That city cannot be greater than
its citizens. Keep your city great!
That advertising is the most effect
i've of all weapons in the fight for bust

The reaSon didn't have to be looked
for with q microscope. The gear-train
was a wreck, with one Of the wheels
smashed into bits, and half OF the
coSs stripped from its mesh-mate, If
that's what you'd call It.
Mechanically l stopped the engine
and went to view the remains. The
deep-wellS were done for-there was
no question about that; they'd never
run again until a new set Of gears
should be installed. That much deter
mined, l began to look for the cause
Of the calamity. Naturally, / supposed
that a cracked cog in one of the
wheels had given way, and with this
for IA starter, the general smash would
follow as a matter of course. But
n careful and ever painful scrutiny of
the wreckage failed to reveal the cog
with the ancient fracture. Each break
was new and fresh and clean there
wasn't q sign of an old flaw In any
one OF them.

under the gear train for n half-hour or
more, handling the fragments OF iron
and fitting them together. 1t was like
