“Stay away from that town.
dead one”
Do you want that to be sald of
your town? Of course you don’t, for
you wish, as a matter of local pride, If
for no other reason, to have your
town stand high in the estimation of
the world. But are you sure that you
are doing everything in your power
to place your in the
which you wish to occupy? That is the |
question that every person should ask
himself or herself at frequent inter
vals,
When things are running smoothly
when times are and when It Is
fairly easy to make a good living for |
the wife and kiddies, it is so easy for
a man to forget that these things #o
not come to a town as a matter of
course, but are the result of the |
right kind of effort on the part of the
citizens of the community. It'is so
easy for a man to grow careless and
think that because this condition ex-
isted it will continue to exist without |
any effort on his part or that of the |
; other residents of the community.
That Is why it Is important for every
one to stop and think seriously once
in a while about what it would mean
{to him If the prosperity that makes
life worth living for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes to live in a dead town.
No one even likes to visit a dead town.
That is why you sometimes hear that
warning, “Stay away from that town.
It's a dead one.” The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one suf-
fers as if from a pestilence. Busi.
ness men seeking new locations will
have none of it. The live traveling
| salesman, even, will give It a wide
| berth, Those who live in it will get
| away If they can. .
When a town is live and prosperous,
local business Is good, real estate val-
| ues are high and stable, labor is In
| demand and wages are good, the
| streets are well lighted, the residents
and thelr property are protected from

squarely up to every resident of the
community, whether a resident of the
town itself or of the country surround

whether he lives In a live or a dead
