A tourist I told us today that the btest decorated I small town he has visited was Cold- I » j water, Michigan, where a small fir 1 tree has been placed on every orna- I mental light post with red. white and I blue electin' lights and where every 1

I window gives a thought of the yuletide. Its worth doing. Christmas will he happier and brighter if you help the poor boys and girls enjoy it also and thats the purpose of the Good Fellow club drive. They will use the money thus donated for bringing holiday cheer to a lot of I boys and girls who will otherwise be I deprived of it. Don't overlook this in your rush of getting ready for Santa Claus’s visit. The importance of instilling in the child's mind a spirit of loyalty to his own home town, no matter how small it may be, was stressed by Dr. Edward A. Steiner of Grinnell college when he spoke recently to the Northwest , lowa Teachers’ association at Sioutfi City. We are glad to see somebody j swinging a cudgel in defense of the ! small town. It is high time. The sneers of the vaudevillians, the joke I smiths on the humorous periodicals, i the Menckens and Nathans and Sin ; clair Lewises, the professional smart ; alecks and urban wisecrackers generally, have all, of late years, had a , tendency to make the youngster a little ashamed of his home town.

• h» believes all he hears aud reads, be Is likely to reach maturity with a sneaking idea that there is something . shameful about being born and roared in a community where citizens go to bed of nights and to church on Sunday. So when he travels from Gopher Prairie. Minn., to Chicago, he is tempted to register as from Minneapolis; and when he goes on to New York, he Is tempted to discard Minneapolis and say he is from Chicago. When, and if he reaches Europe, he is from New York. But why? Why not from Gopher Prairie, and proud of it. wherever he goes? What is there to be ashamed of in "small town stuff?" Small town stuff! The stuff of nearly all out presidents, ! nearly all our senators and supreme I court justices, nearly all of our itn- ! portant writers and painters and . sculptors and musicians, present or | 1 past. The stuff of nearly every big I • name in New York or Chicago toI day. So why not be proud, rather | ' than embarrassed by the fact of i small-town birth or rearing?—Minneapolis Journal. o | L.vnn Stewart, of Wren. Ohio, was a ' Friday visitor in this city.
