An ideal citizen is the one who sees clearly and ever
something good in the city and never loses the opportu-
nifty to spread that good news abroad that others might
derive the benefits therefrom, whose unselflshness
PROMPTS him to want Others to share opportunities,
health and pleasure which his home city offers.
LOYALTY is the first requisite for the ideal citizen.
The love for the place and his %neighbors which dlsmls-
ses the thought Of self interest or policy and resolves
itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all IN
his power to make the city a better place in which to
live.
There are three distinct attitudes which a citizen may
assume toward the place in which he lives, which fur
nishes him food. shelter and association for himself
and family. to boost, to remain quiet or to knock. The
booster is that ideal citizen who is never forgetful OF
the obligations which is due the home city. he is ever
found at the front when any movement is launched
which might tend to the advancement of the interest OF
the city. While others see darkly. to him good is visible
at all times. The quiet citizen is satisfied to let the
neighbor do the work and content to lul the city asleep
and LEI It rest. The knocker is the man who is with
out a country. There is no room for him anywhere, his
presence dampens the enthusiasm of every man or
group of men who unfortunately come in contact with
him. Having no faith in his own ability to go forward,
he naturally lacks faith in his home city to do so.
You have the chance to belong to either of the three
classes. If YOU are a booster, your nelghbor KNOWS II
we'll and will boost you. If you are aligned with the
o,iet class. YOU will not be regarded one way or the
other. for the man who selects to steer IN the
middle Of the stream, gets no support from either side.
# unfortunately you are a knocker, get ready to be
knocked. for eventually it is coming to you. AS you give
so will it be melted out to you.
Plentvwood would be an ideal city if only there were
more ideal citizens. Let's have them.

A NEW NOTE
(Cut Bank Pioneer Press)

The traditional notion of the personality of d
Country" editor is that of a fellow who is meek, for
giving and grateful for the favors of the corner grocer;
grateful when accorded small patronage and hot in his
devotion if larger patronage is given him; forgiving
when the grocer uses stationery printed by a baking
powder company and sale posters printed in Musca-
tine, Iowa. He may scold the farmer for sending to
Montward for his goods, but he remains silent when
the grocer transgresses the code.
But sometimes one encounters an exception. One in
mind is Charley Taylor, former senator from Sheridan
county and editor of a weekly paper in Plentywood. In
the last issue of his paper Taylor printed a story I'M
der boxcar headlines, telling of the invasion of that
section by three big mail order houses. Then he went
on to quote comparative prices, showing the catalog
prices as far below those of the home merchants. Said
he: "The merchants here are playing into the hands
Of the mail order houses by maintaining prices without
regard to replacement COSTS" He urged the farmers
Of his section not to pay pre-depression prices with
their 50-cent wheat.
Here is a new and strange note in Country" journal
ism How will it react on P~lentywood merchants How
will it react on the weekly paper of Plentywood? There
is little in the way of precedent to guide US to a con-
clusion, as the vast majority of weekly papers remain
loyal to the business men of the community in which
they are printed regardless of the patronage accorded
them.

STORES AND THE PUBLIC

The progressive business firm finds that it needs to
be constantly making new friends and creating a new
circle of customers. If it just depends on satisfying
those who have previously bought its goods, it is like
ly to see its trade diminish. Population changes more
rapidly now than formerly, and if a firm has a certain
list of customers this year, it can expect, as the result
of all the changes that naturally occur, that a consid-
cradle proportion of those customers will not be on the
list in a year or two.
Also people are changeable in their habits, and un-
less a very energetic effort is made to hold old Gust
omers by advertising, a lot of them will go elsewhere,
attracted by the various inducements that are offered
them.
People are not much inclined, as they were often for
merly, just to trade at one place or a few places right
along year after year. They are quick to get the idea,
if some firm or stores seems to be hustling a little
harder than its competitors to please the people, and
no feeling of habit or sentiment or loyalty is apt to
hold them, if they think they can do better by going
elsewhere for something they want.
By an active campaign of advertising, a firm can
keep making new business friends, to make up those
who drift elsewhere. 1t does not take elaborate persu-
aston to win such new customers who go elsewhere.
This is so ~strikingly true in Plentywood that we can
not help but marvel at it. Efforts to discourage people
from trading with firms here are meeting with only
failure. The people today are alive to the value of
advertising, and many who are not subscribers to The
Herald go to their ~neighbors to read the news as we'll
as many bargains to be found in its advertising COL
umns. They take advantage of these offers, and in
spite of the misleading reports circulated by persons
who want to use Matchmaking methods to compel these
firms to be swayed by dictates of erstwhile politicians,
come to Plentywood and do their trading at these
stores who recognize the value of Herald advertising.

A large part of the dollar spent in the home COM
munity remains there. 1t travels from home to grocer,
to the butcher, to the hardware merchant, and so on
around the wheel of home trade. Spent outof town the
dollar has gone forever.
No community can ever expect to advance another
step if they patronize mail order houses. They are 60
ing backwards instead of forward, and whenever they
think they have saved a dollar by trading with mail
order houses, they can just chalk that dollar off as a
loss against the value of their own property through
lack of a immunity spirit, to keep a good business
center in their vicinity.

GETTING NEW CUSTOMERS

On political issues the world cannot agree; in mat
tiers of religion there are eternal differences OF opinion;
all people have ideas others think lack sound reasoning;
but on one point we with a few exceptions, agree; ev-
ervone wants to see his home town prosper and grow.
The way to a growing, prosperous community is
through good stores. And the way to good stores IS
through trading at home. Buy away from home and
watch your town die. Listen to the knocker and allow
Plentvwood to disintegrate, and kill the best town IN
the county.
Some experts contend that good trading facilities
build population and real estate values; others say that
good stores follow population, but again, with a few
exceptions here in Plentywood, all agree that local
prosperity can never come until adequate trading facil-
tiles are established.
No town was ever built by money sent to mail order
houses or spent in the neighboring city. They are the
dollars that build the big cities and their mercantile
fortunes. A farming community without a good trading
center is looked upon askance by the prospective in
vestors or homeseeker. He goes where the farmers and
general public have their nearby town at heart by trad
ing there. When a town dies for lack of support by
those who prefer trading with mail order houses, the
farming values die with it. For every dollar sent away
to mail order houses, thus hurting our home commun-
ity spells another depreciation in the farm value of the
community.

A bad cough is a good start Tor most

FOOD PROBLEMS
Casserole Cooking.
BY SALLY MONROE.

The modern housekeeper has come
to know that there are other ways OF
cooking meat than by boiling, roasting
or broiling. all of which processes call
for high heat. She has come to know
that long, slow cooking at gentle heat
best conserves the nutritive elements of
meat and the flavors that render 1t
most agreeable to US.
1t is this method that the earthen
casserole, with its close fitting cover,
has made possible for us. The caSse-
role has other advantages. 1t Is a serv-
ing as we'll as a cooking dish, and be-
cause it retains heat for a long time,
food for the late or tardy dinner may
be kept in good condition in 1t.
The casserole, too. is a friend of the
woman who must be cook and hostess,
too While fruit cup or tomato juice
cocktail or soup is serving the main
course of the dinner, in the casserole
in a cool oven, remains ready to serve
and may be brought to the table with
out any additional preparation when
the first course or courses are fin
ished.

her babies" he concluded.
Mrs. Eagle nodded. That is true"

somewhere, and one of them would be
treat for our darlings. And 1t does
seem from what you have told me that
somehow you must have overlook d

keep watch from a distance, and the
first time she leaves that brush We'll
drop down there. Between us We ought
to be able to find those young Ante
lope. She certainly has them well
trained. There wasn't the smallest
movement to give themselves away
while l was over there"
So the two went off hunting together.
They circled high in the sky above the
patch of brush beside which Mrs. Fleet
foot was still on guard and both peered
down into it intently. Then they few

away that they could not be seen by
Mrs. Fleetfoot they could still see her.
So it was that they knew when she left
to go for that much-needed water and
at once started for that patch of brush
They saw the two Coyotes also sneaking
back there, and SO, instead of dropping
down as they had intended. they circled
even higher SO that they would not be
noticed. They int, nded to let the Coy
otes do the hunting, and If they sue

them. But Speedfoot and Mrs Speed
