GET DOWN AND PUSH

Every town has its men of wealth —its prominent citizens—people who are looked upon as the community leaders. AND AS THEY LEAD, SO WILL THE COMMUNITY BE. If YOU have accumulated a competency and are enjoying that life of ease to which you are entitled, it is time for you to think of your community—of your children—of your neighbor's little ones. Your town needs your strength, your assistance. GET DOWN AND PUSH. The generation that is passing away started you on the road to affluence—pushed you along life’s pathway—headed you for that goal which you now enjoy. THEY GAVE YOU A PUSH—and your own energy, and perseverance, and determination did the rest. Now you are on top and a new generation is springing up, and they have an ambition to achieve. But their goal is a long way up, and the road is steep, and there are many obstacles to be overcome before your children and your neighbor’s children may hope to reach the goal of THEIR ambition. The community standard in vogue when you were a boy was doubtless

high for those* times, but the standard is hopeless today—a relic of the past—an impossibility of the future. To. maintain its relative position in the world your community must prosper, and grow, and expand. And your children are confronted with those changing conditions. To hold your town down to the early standard is like cutting the throat of your faithful dog, or casting your bank hook into the flames. But advancing its material interests is like casting the loaves and fishes to the hungry multitudes. You are successful—the past has enriched you of its wealth—-the future is one of peace, FOR YOU. But w hat of the children of today —-what of those growing to manhood and womanhood only to be forced to meet the serious problems of a few years hence? What of the future of YOUR OWN DESCENDANTS? A retarded commercial spirit, a throttled community growth, all portend a struggle with adversity in the years to come. Other men of means and prominence will act, and other communities will forge to the front and prosper—and if your community simply remains stationary it will soon be subsisting on the crumbs that others cast aside. What are you going to do about it —you men of means and the ability to act? Are you going to get down and push? Are you going to assist your children, as your fathers assisted you? Are you going to give your town a shove to the front—a boost that will mean prosperity for the future? A town that is worth living in is worth boosting. And all good citizens should be boosters—in fact, the really desirable citizens are boosters. This world is moving at a pace, and America leads the van. Do you want to see your child en inarching well up to the front- -it the position of honor—or would you prefer to see them ambling along in the dust of more progressive people? The great opportunity for commercial and community advancement is here now—is looking for a word of encouragement from you—is waiting for your action. But by the time your sons reach man’s estate opporunity will have marched on—and into the waiting embrace of other communities, - That is, unless you act now, and to some purpose. One hand may not raise a stone, hut many hands make light work of the heaviest burdens. . <r-' . . There are many hands in your community—hands capable of performing wonderful feats in community building. Perhaps yours are two of those hands. But what are the many hands doing? Are they pushing-—shoving—boost-ing to the front? Or are they pulling—dragging—retarding the growth of your community and your people? What are 'your hands doing, brother?

PREPAREDNESS

(By Walt Mason.) “Some night,’’ I said, “I'll bet a leg, a yeggman will come here to yegg. The papers daily spring a tale of burglars who have swiped men’kale. I don’t propose to be despoiled of coin for which I’ve slaved and toiled, and I shall buy myself a tniu, and ammunition by the ton." I bought the weapon, and each night, while I was sleeping, snug and tight, it lay beneath my pillow slip, in easy reach for instant grip. One. night 1 heard a cautious tread somewhere adjacent to my bed. “At last,’’ I thought, “a burglar's come, ho will find his luck is bum.” Then dimly I beheld a shape. “My friend," I mused, “there’s no escape.' That shape I drew a bead upon, and fired, and then ray Uncle John sent up a yell that shook, the shack, for I had

plugged him in the back. Around his bed the -nurses sit, and ray he’s better now, a bit; the doctor’s exercised his skill--and I will have to foot the bill. Now I appeal to everyone, “Say, don’t you want a firstrate gun?”

You Lovers of Music.

Do you know that the so-called music centers are broken up in the summer months and that the greatest singers and musical artists are seeking whole season engagements i among the chautauquas? And that through the Chautauqua the people can hear the best music j by staying almost in their own door'yards? j Concert halls are deserted in the hot months; and the cool, shady (Chautauqua tents have taken their i place. 1 Chautauqua managers offer these j great musical artists, not only con- ' tracts that pay well, but an ideal summer’s tour, appreciative audiences and a pleasant season as well I And so while the man in the big | city contents himself with the movies j as a hot night entertainment proposition, we can enjoy, at the Chautauqua, a veritable festival of music. | Here’s the list we have here thii j summer at the Chautauqua. We can’t tell the whole story in this small article. What you ought t; have is the Chautauqua booklet, it. shows handsome pictures and gives a clean-cut, terse but full descrip tion of each of these six great mu°ical features. Study the list, and when you're down town next time, make it a { point to get a booklet and learn more about it there: Strang-Coleman Co., Chicago Art ists’ Quartet, Bland's Band, Gretna Party, The Gales and Hampton Court Singers. This is about half of the offerings of the Chautauqua, in addition to which is the youth’s Chautauqua for boys and girls, which is another story. The list of lecturers, you will finu in the program booklet, and if you never liked a lecturer, you’ll like these. They are the informative, alert kind that will stir your interest in the practical, profitable and pithy discussions they present. A season ticket makes the cost but a few cents a number. It costs the puny, paltry sum of $2. It’s worth $lO. ... You can get them from the Chautauqua secretary, or of any member of the Chautauqua association. Vsk the first man you meet. We say ‘‘them,” for you’re expected to bring the family. It’s the grand outing for everybody. Get the tickets today. Order by phone. Just say how many.
