THE Scale of Progress is a delicate

hours of ceaseless LABOR. Let one
side stop, even for a moment and the
bottom falls out of the other leaving
stagnation and ruin in it's trail
The force behind Progress is the recip-
rocal cooperation of Capital and Labor.

great powers linked in an eternally sold
cred chain forging onward ;. +. leaving

That reciprocal cooperation is the secret
of success in local activity, just as it is

Every man contribute his mite to the
advancement of his towns interests,

of time an invincible nation.
