Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 274, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 November 1914 — It Isn't Your Town—lt’s You. [ARTICLE]

It Isn't Your Town—lt’s You.

If you want to live In the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like, You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And starLgp a ' on S, Ion Y hike. You’ll only find what you left behind, For there’s nothing that’s really new. It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town. It Isn’t your town—it’s you! Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead. When everyone works and nobody shirks You can raise a town from’ the dead. And if while you make your personal stake Your neighbor can make one too, Your town will be what you want to sea. It isn’t your town—lt’s YOU. —Wilmington.
