Get Young People Interested.

Id almost any village the young people could be enlisted in the work of village improvement, and they could give entertainments for the benefit of the society and thus realize a good sum, since everybody would feel In duty bound to patronize them. We have not been ambitious to make costly experiments in our village. Instead, we have been satisfied to make the most of possibilities in a practical way. We have let competent men, having good taste and good judgment, plan the public work for us, and we have been sensible enough not to interfere with them or hamper them with unwise and uncalled-for suggestions which we have Insisted on having adopted. Wherever and whenever this is done there will be friction. We have performed the work assigned us by those whom we have chosen to take the lead in an honest, hearty fashion, glad to do it, because we felt that it was of general as well as personal benefit. It has stimulated and strengthened our pride in the place we live in. It has made us feel, as never before, the mutuality of our interests. Eben E. Rexford, in New Llppincott
