Some Things You Notice in a Pros
porous Town.

Clean streets and alleys, well kept
homes and yards. neat stores and shops.
pleasant clerks and tradesmen. good
church and school buildings. and a
prosperous newspaper. The people
you meet on the street are looking up
and not down and greet you with a
smile. If you go into store or shop
to purchase an article and they do not
happen to have it, you are directed to
store farther down the street, told
what good fellow the owner is and
how courteous the clerks are When
you arrive at this store you feel ac-
quainted. Everybody you talk with
tells you what a good town il is, what
good people live in it, what improve
ments are being made, what good
churches and schools we have, what an
excellent water supply, lighting system,
public park, etc, what efficient public
officers, preachers, teachers, etc. The
fact of the matter is that you get
''jollied" from the time you enter a
prosperous town until you leave it,
and 1t makes you wish that you lived
there. If you want your town to be
prosperous do as the people do who live
in prosperous town.
