11OME 0 ? TOWN ®! HELPSM ligI ig - ' — -" - “SELLING” ONE’S HOME TOWN Work That Should Be Considered a, Duty as Well as Mark of Good Citizenship. Nowadays, before its salesmen are Placed on the road by any of our larger concerns they are given a course in salesmanship. They are first made acquainted with the article they are to sell, they are given its talking points, or made to see its worth and value to the consumer, and then they are allotted their territory. Selling a town is pretty much like ; selling goods. You must know first of . -ftll the advantages of your town, you | must be able to tell the outside world what it has in the way of advantages' and then you must dwell on those talking points. Your territory is large, for any place in the world you go you can spend a few minutes “selling” your town —which means nothing else but boosting it. Citizens should learn the great advantage to be derived from being able to point out the manifold advantages of a residence here, of telling others exactly why they prefer to live hele to hsLTlng a Ebhle anywhere else. The I man who can talk up his town, and who does talk up his town Is always admired, no matter In what*part of the Country he may be or in what company hi lo thrown. Home-town pride is the first Indication of good citizenship, and people who hear you reciting the mer-1 itl of the place in which you live natvrally take it that all the other citlzens are doing the same thing, and that it is a good place in which to live .or in which to do business. Start out now to “sell* your town, wherever you go. Learn its advantages, learn to tell iabout them in an interesting way, and ted go right in at every opportunity and sell about those 1 advantages.—lndiana Labor Journal. ICANADIAN CITY LOOKS AHEAD ^Example of Oshawa In Barring Narrow Lota as Dwelling Sites Should Bo Followed. » The Oshawa town planning commission has resolved that in future no subfcvlslon plans with building lots of less Ehan 45-foot frontage will be sancEoned. Oshawa will be fortunate if it T succeeds In controlling the future dewelopment of its suburban area according to the enlightened ideas of the ^Commission. The town has already a (city population and, as a growing In^Mgustolal center, will spread beyond its present boundaries. , Many cities find it too late to remedy conditions which could have been fore(Stalled by a little provision and public spirit. Private greed, uncontrolled by public authority, has deprived the majorlty of city dwellers of a healthful aL Jowance of light, air and ventilation, to say nothing of garden space, by crowding the houses together, even in the midst of the boundless prairie, where land would be the cheapest commodity in sight but for real estate manipula-' toon. If Oshawa will continue the policy of its town-planning commission it [Will be an example and a reproach to (other cities which have neglected their opportunities. —Toronto Globe. Community Garages in Duluth. Community garages, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, have been introduced in Duluth, Minn., which show some decided advantages over the usual individual garage. With the aid of good architecture and landscape gardening the structures add to the appearance of the neighborhood, and back yards are left free for gardens and playgrounds. A saving is made in the cost of constructing buildings' and driveways, and the heating problem is simplified. A single plant heats 1 all the rooms most economically and all rooms are kept at a minimum temperature of 40 degrees even in the severest winter weather. There is a solid wall between each group of four rooms. The other partitions are of " concrete to a height of three feet and of galvanized wire netting the rest of the way to the ceiling. The construction is of hollow’ concrete blocks, metal lath and cement plaster. Coal Saving Plan. Coal economy is acute in England and the following method of saving fuel has been found valuable, most likely for use in an open fire: Preserve the coal ashes, which are usually thrown away as worthless. When there is a sufficient quantity, add tn them an equal amount of small coal, then pour on a little water, and mis with a shovel. Use this composition when dry for placing on the top or the back of the fire. It will burn brightly and pleasantly, and only a little dust will remain unconsumed. Fire Alarms for Kiddies. How to send in a fire alarm was one of the subjects of Instruction at the “fire prevention exhibit” at Ironwood, Mich. Five hundred persons received this instruction; as well as other advice for fire prevention. The use of hand fire extinguishers was taught. Cards containing the numbers and locations of the fire alarm boxes in the city as well as pamphlets entitled, “Stop Burning Up Homes.” were distributed. Twrs the Room Went Upstairs. Teddy had returned from the city •nd was describing a large department •tore he had visited. He seemed greatly impressed by the height of the building and the number of floors. One of his little playmates who had been listening attentively finally Inquired : “Did you go away, ’way upstairs?” “No,” said Teddy. “We just Or - *»»« tiniest, tiniest little room -1 **4 the little room

A lot of up-to-date farmers from this locality attended the farmers’ meeting at Lakeville Saturday night and heard fine speaking, singing, music and drilling. After the meeting came the eats, hot dogs, buns, pickles, hot coffee, and everybody had a good time. Even Rev. Polen was with the merry crowd and helped in a good way to make the bunch lively. A few people that were out Saturday night, 1921, didn’t return to their homes until 1922 and brought with them colder weather and snow. New Year's was rather a lonesome day on account of the weather. Several families from here attended the farmers’ institute at Lakeville last Tuesday. Earl Herbster lost a valuable cow last week during the. icy weather.

The Olive Branch school teacher was a great help too, but he had one eye on a young lady from South Bend, and of course he had to negllect one or the other a little, he wasn’t in the kitchen all the time, | this happened at the institute at Lakeville. We could writea book of items about 1 Lakeville people but we suppose they prefer to do their own writing, but ■ we know everybody should attend the , ^revival meeting at the M. E. church, as just about all of us need to be (revived again, not only Lakeville.
