UDIcriDC lor The Star SYSTEMATIC BOOSTING; Make a Buelnass of Tailing Frlandsef Your Horn Town' Advantagas..' Let the public know tht you lire In a wide awake town, spread Its fame abroad by every legitimate method and you will do much to build It up and Improve It In this connec tion the Athens (O.) Messenger makes the following valuable suggestions on systematic town boosting: ' "Circulars, advertising to distant newspapers, photograph souvenirs, all are good to spread the fair fame of our city. But after ail, the thing that makes the town grow is the enthusi asm of Its people. "Most people come In contact during the year with hundreds or even thou sands of people from distant places. If each one of us would take the pains when meeting these distant friends to say something about the business ad vantages, the social pleasure, the pub tic spirit of this city, a widespread im pression would go out reaching all over the United States that this town Is on the map and a good place to call home. "Some of these distant friends, hear ing of people who are thinking, of changes of location,- would speak of the impression thus gained. This is the way that most moves are made, through some one's personal recom mendation. If we spread abroad the fame of this city the returns will in time come in a hundredfold. This is the way western people work it to make thefr towns grow. This would xnot be' a hard thing to do." Persons can always- find something good about their home town. We should mention that "These good things have wings and fly abroad. Tou might even find some good thing in the knocker to mention. "If you think the town in which you live Is a bad place get out of it and find a place that suits your fancies and boost it" HOME PAfrER A TOWN MIRROR Reflaets Progress of Community to ' Outsider Who Se It. The time has gone by when the pub lisher of any newspaper, even of the humblest country weekly, goes around asking support out of personal friend ship. But the public ought to realize Just the same that the prosperity and prog ress of its town are Judged by outsid ers by the kind of newspaper product that Is sent out to represent it A town with poorly printed, ill writ ten and generally slovenly newspapers is universally Judged to be on the to boggan. A town with enterprising looking sheets gives an impression that there Is enterprise In the town that creates the good looking Journal. When a man pays down bis dollar for a subscription to his home paper or for advertising In its .columns he Is at tBe same time advertising Jila Jbohie town to the outlying country and neighboring cities. The more a newspaper's aubscrlp tlons and advertising Increase the more features the publisher can add, the faster be can Improve his mechan ical equipment, the store nearly can be come t Mslat Ma Meats of newspaper making. Hamilton (0.) Journal. Practical Patriotism Many a man whp says he would be willing to die to save his country won't turn his hand over fe help save his town. "Yet a tto tavmi that make up the nation, and there is always an opportunity for real practical patriot ism there. Especially is this true of the business of a town. Without the patronage of his fellow townsmen no merchant can live. - Don't , send your money out of town to the mall order houses. Give the local man a chance. Promoting th Treat. Out In Iowa some clubwomen, under the leadership of Miss May Welter, have decided that the telephone com panies must not destroy the trees and have forbidden them from going on private grounds. Women all over the state will not permit the linemen to go on their lawns. FOR THE BU8Y MAN WITH TIME TO 8T0P AND THINK.. The man who gives his busi ness proper attention has but lit tle for side Issues. If you must find fault do not find It with others find it by yourself. It' Is Just as easy, though perhaps not as Interest ing. If your advertising does not bring you business yon need no further evidence that there is something wrong with the ad vertising. The public does not like to do business with the man who bores it with tales of bis per sonal tribulations. No one ever gained popularity by telling bard luck stories. Be optimistic, but do not be so much so as to think that you can dispose of any kind of goods that any traveling man will sell you. Use pessimism in buying and optimism in selling. Before discharging an em ployee consider his virtues. If he is prompt cheerful, clean, courteous, see If you can't cure him of the habits you don't like. The man who pays cash Is more apt to go slowly with his expenses than the man who Is raining an account . - w DO YOUR CLOTHES FEEL RIGHT? To feel right your clothes must be right.

Debblling da Crabs. - In the service of a Baltimore family Is an old negro '.cook known as Aunt Bally, and not the least of her achieve ments is the preparation of sea food. In the kitchen one day Aunt Bally's nephew, a nine-year-old lad from a point where crabs are seldom seen,' was watching in breathless Interest the old lady's deviling of a dish of such crustaceans. "Aunty," aBked he after much re flection upon this mysterious point "does debbil crabs come from de deb- bur "No, chile,'' promptly responded Aunt Bally, "but dey Is de debbil to make."
