HE DRAGGED ON
THE HOME TOWN
BASE BALL TEAM

We visited a small town
in an adjoining state last
summer. We had not been
in ten minutes before one of
its citizens began to brag to
us about the towns baseball
team. He gave us the his
tory of the seasons games,
and we noted most of them
resulted in victories for the
home team.
The next day a man with
whom we got acquainted,
spoke in words of highest
praise of the towns school
system, and believe it or not,
he not only had a good word
to say for the superintend-
ent and teachers, but the
board as we'll.
We visit in the town a
week and without exception
the people we talked to and
something good to say about
some feature or institution
of the town.
The town gave evidence
of the loyalty too. 1t look
ed like a good town and we
felt that it was a good town.
1t must be, else everyone
would not have stood up for
it so Loyalty.
We do not know much
about the town, but we left
it with conviction that it was
a good town in which to
live. Any town with it's
community pride developed
to such a degree is going to
be a good town" In ma
tural courses of events it just
can't help it.
Our guess is that when a
project is started there that
everyone gets behind it and
stays back of it until it goes
over. What a fine spirit.
There is scarcely a town that
couldn't have much more
than it does if everyone in
it would rally loyalty behind
every project and work on it
until it was put over and
then to the next plan and
put it over.
This is the thing that
makes good towns. 1t is the
germ that once it infects a
community, gives it the repu-
tation of being a live town.
Let a town once get the
feeling through and through
that it is a live town and like
the winning football team
you can't stop them.-St.
jobs Herald.

fun when it is slick, but is
nothing to be glad to play
on when it isn't slick. The

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: Should wedding pres
ents be sent to the bride or to the
groom?
Answer: Wedding presents arc
all sent to the bride and are her
personal property, even according to
law. Articles should be marked
with her present initials and not
her future. This custom seems
somewhat absurd and occasionally
there are brides who ask to have
their marriage name used instead.
Very few presents are sent the
groom. Even those of his friends
and relatives who have never met
the bride, nevertheless send the
present to her unless they give two,
one of affection for the groom.
Question: May wedding presents
be exchanged?
Answer: Yes, with the exception
of those sent by the groom's fami-
ly or her own which should only be
exchanged if she is told that she
may do so.
