Other maters more important at the time claimed the atention of all the - ple—that of winning the war. All lo- eal promotions were at a standstill and the energies of all were in war k. It is different now. Vital ques. tions entailing important future events must be answered. If Pat. ton is to enjoy the growth that some of tis negi towns enjoy, it must that growth. resources of this community must be advertised if we ever intend to interest outside capital in investing here.
