IT REQUIRES TEAM WORK TO Will

BY. LEO L. REDDING.

(Copyright, 1912, by Town Develop

ment Company.) Are you a town charge? Now, wait minute. Don't get so indignant.

Don't be so sure of yourself.

Of course you pay your tradesmen's

bills, your taxes and your pew rent. Your commercial rating is high and your credit good. You work hard for what you receive. Every one knows

that When the paper publishes the names of the "prominent citizens pres

ent" yours Is always among them. .

But what about the benefits you

are receiving as a result of the efforts

of your really progressive and enterprising neighbors to make this Town

better place in which to live?- You

could not escape those benefits even

If you -wanted to. Now, are you doing

your share of the work? If not you are a town charge. Your property interests are being advanced by men who are better citizens than yourself.

This is an age of progress and ad

vancement. The procession ' is mov

ing. Don't get in th road and retard

those who wish to go forward. Just remember that the faster you travel the faster this Little Old Town Is going to grow. You are proud of the Town. Certainly you are. You ought

to be. See to it that the Town has a right to be proud of you.

Takes Team Work. When you were a youngster you

took part In all of the games. Pitch-

for the lrst nine, didn't you? It took

team work to win ball games In those

days, and it takes team work to win now. If you don't get out and. hustle the Captain will bench you, or Just as like as not you will be sent back

to the minors. Many a good individ

ual player has lost out simply because he insisted at all times on trying to fatten his batting average and because he couldn't or wouldn't make a sacrifice hit when circumstances demanded

if . ' " ' . . !. ' S , And the first prize for logic was awarded to you when you graduated from the high school, wasn't it? Those were good-' days. All the world was bright, and the edges of your ambition had not been dulled. "In Union There Is Strength.. That was your theme, and the. Superintendent of Schools said that you bandied it in a

masterly way. My, my, but the Class was proud of you! ...

In union there is strength, especial

ly in city building. Get back into your stride. Take on some of your youthful

enthusiasm. First thing you know the boys will be calling you an Old Foggy, and they'll be right that is, if you don't insist on being a Live One.

Now, come on. Help start something. The Town is growing, and

you've got to hustle to keep up. If

you do hustle it will grow all the faster, and you will grow with it. There's . lots of work to be done. There is room for you In the army of town workers. You havn't attended -a meeting of the boosters since I don't know when. Get out this week and see to it that your enthusiasm doesn't lag. By right of birth and blood you are a leader. - Get out of the ranks. Start something. This Town needs you. It needs your

work, ypur encouragement, and It J

needs your imagination You can look forward ten years and see it as it's

going to 'be bigger and better in 4

every way. Why don't you get out and tell your neighbors about it? Some

of. them need waking up even more than you ;- do. Some , of them have formed tne habit of looking to you. for advice. That places a double responsibility upon you. They won't move unless you lead them. . i . . - Get Together. Why not have a district meeting? Get the old crowd together and make

the ward what it deserve to be the best in town. You ' folks would make a sensation if you went in a body to

th Commercial Club or the Chamber of Commerce and declared yourselves. It would give the campaign for town betterment such an impetus that its success would be assured. More cities have stood still because of the indifference of Just such "good citizens" as yourself than as the result of any other cause. They have stagnated and been wiped toff the map for no other reason than that so many men of means have been willing to remain town charges. Trade has been

taken away from those towns. Their property values have decreased. They have become cemeteries for the quick, and all because those who THOUGHT they were LIVING in them waited for some one else to take upon his shoulders the duties that belonged to

all. - It is only necessary for the men who are worth while to get together to make this Town grow and prosper as it never has before. The material is here. The' country is here. Outsiders are looking with expectant eyes. Let's get in the procession. It's up to you. r
