Peptomism for Redwood Falls

BAR to progress is the Polyanna type Of opti-
n mist who squats on a drygoods box and tells the
world of his immediate restricted sphere that
everything is fine, good as can be expected and
does not approve any changes Such person has but
little vision to how things might be improved in
the future is content repose the past and the
present
The pessmist, on the other hand, who thinks his
town and community are gone to the dogs, and who
despairs of changes, working planning for
future Improvement is of less value. Such person
is quite "dead in the SHE'LL" and walking around to
save funeral expenses"
Between these two types have the peptomist.
