Ilemember this. When you see a big rock rolling ponderously up a steep hill, you know without going back of it to look, that there is some force behind that rock'that is pushing to beat the band; and when .you see a town that is going forward steadily and surely,, gvercomipg the obstacles that all growing communities hdve to encounte4 riding down its little, old-time, .good-enough-for-father-and-goodenough-for-me obstructionists, you will know withorit the question of a doubt that good men and true are behind that movement, and .that they have their shoulders to the job. There may be exceptioni to the rule-and if so they only serve to prove the rule-but the fact is that towns and cities are only what their citizens make them, and in such matters, "Citizens" means "business men."

You say, "That town has great possibilities," and it is all bosh. Human possibilities are man-made; nothing else. They say, "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear," but the truth is that a skillful man can make a purse out of sow's ear that has a silk purse skinned to death. It isn't so much what you have, as what you think you have, AND WHAT

YOU- MAKE OTHERS THINIi YOU HAVE.

Half a loaf to a wise man is worth more than a whole bakerv to the man who does not realize the value of his possessioni.

You say "My town is dead," and you immediately contribute liberallv toward its burial ceremonies. Your town is what you and your other townspeople think it is. Reverse your attitude. Instead of thinking it's dead-think it's alive, and you will immediately begin to contribute toward its enlivenment. Say it's alive, and get others to saying it. They will soon be believing it, and when they begin to believe it, it rvill become a fact.

Remember, IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN-IT'S YOU. Make your town what you would like to see it.
