PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF FRANKLIN COUNTY AND ITS READERS.
You Will Get Up Early and Go to Bed Late, but You Will Have Had a Grand, Good
Time and Will Never Forget It
Four Things Will Be Given Tremendous Emphasis • •
1. COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION 2. BETTER SCHOOLS
3. INCREASED FARM PRODUCTION 4. GOOD CITIZENSHIP
1. COMMUNITY CO-OPEItATION
Get together and pull together. A BOO STEF, S’
CLUB of live, determined business men, who will
lay aside petty self-interest, and work together
for the general good, will put this town on the
map, and it will stay there. Pull together to
make our town more attractive. Pull together
and bring ourdioys and girls to realize that in the
development of our national resources, in promot¬
ing more scientific fanning, in making better
schools, in building better roads, in developing
manufacturing enterprises, in bringing in up-to-
date methods of merchandising, and in countless
other ways of community-building, there are op¬
portunities right in the “old home town” for a
career of usefulness such as can not be found else¬
where.
2. BETTER SCHOOLS
Ignorance tends to poverty and poverty tends to
crime. The majority of the law-breakers and
criminals in onr county jail are illiterate. Educa¬
tion prevents crime. It costs less to give a boy a
good education and start him on a useful career
than it would cost later on to give him a trial
and execute him for committing a crime; and the
result is more satisfactory. We want our town
to have as good schools as can be found in the
State.

BE A BOOSTER
It Isn’t Your Town—
It’s YOU
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You’ll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that’s really new,
It’s a knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
It isn’t your town—it’s YOU.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise a town from the dead.
And if, while you make four personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
It isn't your town—it’s YOUI

3. INCREASED FARM PRODUCTION
The empty Market Baskets of the World are com¬
ing to America. Can we fill them? Bring the
farmers into clorer touch with the State and the
United States Department of Agriculture for the
purpose of obtaining expert, practical advice on
farm problems, such as Fertilization, Rotation of
Crops, Intensive Cultivation, Farm Labor, Farm
Management, Marketing, Etc.
4. GOOD CITIZENSHIP
If yon respond to the needs of your town with
what your town needs from YOU, then no matter
wliat your vocation may be, you are, indeed, a
good citizen. When a dozen such citizens get to¬
gether they can resurrect a town from the dead
and make it an ideal town to iive in. Environ¬
ment creates Tendencies. What is the environ¬
ment of the hoys and girls of onr town? Ideals
and Amusements affect Character. Impure water,
foul closets, filthy back yards, merchandise unpro¬
tected from flies, affect Health. We don’t want
any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria, in
our town. Paint and lime are two of the greatest
disinfectants ever discovered. Let us paint up our
residences and stores, and whitewash trees, fences
and outhouses. It will make a healthier and pret¬
tier town.

A little Jess anxious to have our

A little less ready, to scold and

A little more care for a brother’s

And so we arenearins; our jour¬

Where time and eternity meet and

A little less care lor bonds and

A little more zest in the diys ot

A broader view and a saner mind
And a little more love for all man

A little more care of what we sav
Angso when we are faring a-dxnvu
the way.
A little more love lor the friends
of vouth;
A little more zeal for established
truth;
A little more chair ty in our views
A little less thirst for the daily
news;
And so we are folding’ our tents
away
And passing in silence at close of
day.
A little more leisure to sit and
dream;
A little more real the things un¬
A little bit nearer to those ahead:
With viaions of those long lived
and dead;
And so we are going where all
must go;
To the people the livihg may nev

A little more laughter afew more

And we shall have told our incrc-
asing years;
The book is closed and the prayer
are said;
And vve are a part of the count¬
less dead,
