If all of us could get the wlea of how valuable is the positive, constructive attitude and statement and how valueless the negative, I am inclined to believe that this old world 1 could move ahead with less waste of energy.

If you like a thing, say so. If you don’t like a thing, say so. Try not to say, “Well, I don’ know. Maybe it’s all right.” One evening, a noted speaker ad- । dressod a large group on the subject of leadership. At the conclusion of the address, a committee chairman was called upon to make a report on a matter relating to the association. Well, there isn’t much to say,” said the committeeman in x opening his talk. And then he proceeded to <a lk for twenty minutes. ■ But his first six words so negatives j his proposition that I noticed that al- ’ most everyone immediately became | restless. an,d began whispering to his neighbors. . What a relief it would have been 1 if he had withheld Lis report until ; he had something to say. But, ut- ! fortunately, he had something to say and he said it after he had lost the attention of half his audience. Leadership hangs on just such little things. Personally, I dislike lukewarm water to drink or to bathe in, and neither do I favor lukewarm people. I think we all nave a passion for knowing where we stand, with our personal friends and with our busi- . ness friends. Once I knew a man who when he was asked a question would answer: . “Well, yes—and —go!” No one ever hit him. but that does not mean that no one wanted to. Some people can keep a salesman 1 dangling in the air for years, simply ( because they are so indefinite in 1 their statements that the salesman does not know whether they are prospects or not. I would rather be

thrown out of an office by a sea-’Woll . on my first call than to spend three years calling on a man who never ■ got cold enough to let me quit nor 1 hot enough to let me sell him. Hot or cold—but lukewarm, never, i THE SPRING CLEAN-UP. I Some genius conceived the notion । that a Clean lip Week or Clean Up । Bay, if appointed during the spring । months, would appeal to the popular psychology at that particular time, H It did so, and today such occasions ' are observe^ in thousands of com ■ munities. : I Ihe desUm for improvement seems ! to influence people at this season. I it you asked a iran to clean up dis- | order around his place in July, he । might evasively postpone the sug- j gestion. But in spring some lure of out- * doors, emphasized by the bright sun- 1 shine and soft breezes and cheerful '

bird songs, seems to put a new spirit. * into the heart. The man who at 1 , other times is indifferent to appear- I ances, will come forth in his overall' s and ju.Aper; prepared for heroic . | deeds with rake, spade and bonfire. 1 1 This impulse towards industry should be worked for all it is worth : A Clean-UP Day or Week should be ’ appointed in every community. The 1 1 home folks should all be organized fl into an army of anti-litter workers, S each family detailed to clean up its R own refuse. Also they should be in- B duced to add some touch of beauty | a to their grounds. Landlords should _ be reminded that their buildings wili pent better if kept wt 11 painted and " repaired. ■ i An incessant stream of visitors j ■ passes through our towns today, and n our town is unjder constant inspec ® tion by visitors. These folks form n impressions by the degree of neatness and taste shown in the care and — improvement of dwellings and’their surroundings. [k Indications like these reflect the - character of the people who live in B a place A city that keeps itself ■ scrubbed and combi d, whose homes ■ show a love for beauty, by neat « lawns and pretty flowers, gains a ■ name for. self respect and culture. ■■ Visitors pass along the word that it s a fine town. p ■ A few of the more influential de- B fendants in the Gary scandal ha^e fjj asked for a new trial. The outcome | of the affair holds little promise for B those caught. The action in this case ■ ought to be evidence enough that the || prohibition laws are to be obeyed g and violators may not hope to go S free long. r ph

Some profiteers are "made of mon I ey”—they are dollar chasers. Nat urally they can go chase themselves. Better to chase tlumsehes ana their dollars than to chase us and our dollars.

j| PUNCHETTES—by Ed. |

| We spent Easter Sunday with the 3 Mrs.’ folks over at Hanna and had no =] sooner arrived Saturday night than 3 we began to hear of the big Sunday | school contest between the churcn g folks of that great metropilis and 3 those of its neighboring suburb, g Union Mills. It seems the contest had 3 been un,der way for some several 3 weeks and had worked up considerat, p steam by Easter Sunday which was g to end the rivalry that had stirred 3 up all the southern end of Lal’orte q county into a state of great feverish 3 excitement. Os course we went. Every 3 body went. To have stayed at home 1 would have disgraced us with the 3 wufe’s folks for all time and endang- ; 3 end our lives in the community. We I ] went early to get a seat but found i 3 the -“S. R. Oaly” sign on the d®<>. I when we arrived. Everybody was j there. It looked like circus day. I “Well, look who’s here!’’ seemed to jbe the favorite greeting. Even th«» ] Hop-to-it, Hanna’s famous thirst parj lor, was closed up for lack of dry ) customers who had had their sportI ing blood aroused by the contest and I were all over at the church putting I their money on the “home team”. । We still believe that some of the old I boys, who looked and acted like the i proverbial stray oat in the garret, expected that their old favorite, “Ten nights in a Barßoom” was to be stages that particular Sunday. With the huge crowd swarmin;, I thru the aisles, over the pulpit plat- I form and behind the stoves, the orch i estra sttuck up “Waltz* of the Dem- ; “n”, or something like that and a ' few of the younger “strays’’ began ! looking for their partners. ; When the time limit had been reached the officials repo r ted 420 had crossed the tape on time, a total of 427 were, present and a collection of 5371.1t> had been paid in. The Supt. then' came rushing in from the nearest ts '^ohene and announce,! the final results of the contest, “We Won.’’ A blast of deafening cheers broke ; I

A group of school • boys standing in the rear gave their , favorite yell, We’ve won! We’ve won! We’ve won, by golly, we’ve won. And after some appropriate remarks ■ by the pastor to the little flock the meeting was over. Union Mills, the ; loser, must now feed these 437 1 Hannaites. ; On our return home from this ; memorable Sunday’s events, like the ' i defeated Union Millers, we too were ! ; forced to drink the bitter dregs of j humiliation and defeat. We were happy on our way when our Rolls Ruf, the pride and joy of our life, threw | a tire which necessitated the use of our only spare. But we were no sooner on our way again when the companion rear tire blew up and left us bouncing along on the rim. A hasty retreat to a Hamlet garage found a giod, jovial repair man who ttended to our needs and sent us on : our way again. We were four miles I : from home and then that sickening j E sound of air escaping from a tire so E fomiliar to every * motorist reached E our ears and for the third time in ! 10 miles we foun,d ourselves on the ; rim.
