You are a part of that business the same as an employe is of an industrial plant. Your bread and butter depends on the continued growth and prosper ity of that business, and regardless of your station In life —regardless of the job you hold, the work you do or the business you are In, you are responsible. As an employee of a manufacturing plant you are a part of it; you must do good work, you must be sold on the product made or you are fired. The better the work you do, the more you make. As a part of your town, the same is true. You should know about your town —it is yours, and what you do goes to make it a good town, a progressive town or—a hum town. You may think your ‘own is not a good town — maybe it isn't; maybe it is ‘‘old-fash-ioned,” mayl>e it has "just growed” — but what have you done to make it any different? A town is just as big as the people in it, and you are ‘he people! It is not the opinion and habits of the few shining lights that nwke a community. True, there must be leaders, but when big industries consider your town for location of a new factory, investment in present enterprises. etc., it is the people in general they are most interested in—you and all the other people like you. Never in the his.ory of this country has your town had the offportunities that it has today. Big business is looking to the smaller city as it never has before. The town or city that prepares itself for big things will ( greatly profit, and every individual citizen will he benefited — but the town must be ready. The way to be ready is to be at work (building up the morale, aggressiveness, customer attitude anti salesmanship ability of the “clerks”—citizens —of the community) not by erection of monuments or idle talk on "town boosting” —but by constructive thinking to do something, get something, achieve something—to climb out of the rut, to have a (Ity that is the best in the land in which to live, work, play and make money—to have a city which has eliminated the “oppressive ugli nes»” of dormant, inactive civic pride. Chicago has a race problem and its worrying them. Negroes led by the most influential of that race insist they have as much right to bathe in the municipal swimming beaches as the whites and you can imagine how that takes with the bon ton. Its a condition sure to follow the proceedure of the past few years when politicians cater to the colored folks. They elected a negro to congress from Chicago last year and he is insisting on equal rights ter colored folks which of course is good campaign talk but outside of that considered by most as just plain bunk. •Baiie Ruth * paid t twenty dollars for tlfei baseball whidh he hit over the fence at Cleveland for his five hundredth home run. He will add it to his trophies. The old boy is still going strong, having hit thirty home runs this year in spite of the fact that he has not been in first class condition and has a chance to again lead all competitors for circuit honors

TODAY’S CHUCKLE There W nothing slow about little Robert Bruce Anglin, who at the age of 20 days prevailed upon his mother and grandmother to take an -airplane ride. He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Anglin of this city. and confidentially we tfiipe he does It. The Mill Grove lad who is now in jail probably feels he has had his fling and is willing to pay for it. He stole an automobile, got money by selling chickens he stole, took his girl out for a good time, had a serious wreck and wounti up under arrest. He will perhaps admit a good many times before he has paid the price of punishment that it was hardly worth while. We have heard several complaint.-' that in numerous places along the county highways the weeds are permitted to grow to a heighth of several feet, of course spoiling the appearance of the roads and at this season being particularly objectionable to those who suffer from hay fever and other diseases of the summer. There should be some way to eliminate them. Eighty thousand acres of the finest timber in the world has been taken by the fire fiend in a great conflagration that has ben going nearly three week; in the great northwest. The loss is terrific and should if possible make the rules of lighting matches or starting fires in that section more string ent. Its just four weeks to the great street fair and agricultural show which will be put on here September 10th to 14th. There will be many displays of interest and a fine program that will entertain you every minute during the five days. Get ready for it and help the Legion put it over big. Those on whom falls the duty of fixing tax rates will be rather busy the next few weeks. Its a stiff job always and especially in these days when people want what they want when they want it, that having reference to every improvement and not to tax rates. If the east isn't being shaken by a tumble of stocks and markets they get it from earthquakes. They must be getting as nertous there as they have been at various times on the Pacific coast. After all if you are looking for an investment, you will hunt a long time before you find a safer and in the long run, better one than an Adams county farm. At the present prices you are sure to make plenty of money. o — MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it good form when 'lntroducing two persons, to say, “Mr. Miller. Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson.
