After Villa, who next?
o
Do something: yourself!
o
Too proud to fight? Villa-won't
think so.
o
Time, tide and the war wait for
3io man.
o
Even one fleeting smile Is worth!
a, whole year of grouch.
o ^
Soon, however, the poor dove of ;
peace will have no place even *o call' i
its roost.
Bullets, like joy riders, never '
pause to take stock of the damage
they inflict. !
I
o
Birt a pessimist, you know. sees :in
opportunity after the optimist has
grasped it.
Upon second thought. Lancaster '
is even a better town than we had '
imagined. Tie to it. i!
o
Incidentally, it is more profitable
to go out and get a thing than to
howl because it doesn't come your
way.
o
But. then, preparedness might |
even be extended to the commercial
and industrial welfare of this town. .
o 1
Of course we deplore all of this I
wtrife that is robbing the world of
^its glory, but we derlire . > fet it interfere
with our Sunday dinners.
o
When an old duffer with a million 1
rmarnes a "young thing" with a
-pretty face the devil pronounces his i
Iblessing with a wink of the off eye.
o ;
Amidst all of the excitement of
. -wars and rumors of wars, don't lose f
sight of the fact that you can hear a
vnighty good sermon in this town
any Sunday in the year. f
Adve-tisine is like patriotism in f
war time. Tt is irresistible, and
draws the people right into your '
store. Be patriotic, Mr. Merchant. '
bv being an advertiser.
o ,
We'd just be eternally tickled if
-we could ride around in an auto l!kn
so many of our neighbors are doing.
1Rut alas! Those delinquent subscribers
who always forget to think!
a
There are two classes of people In
Lancaster. The first never loses an
opportunity to better their own condition
in all legitimate ways and at ^
the same tiime advance the best in-; r
'tereats of the town and community j
aa a whole. The orner class?well r
they are just the other class, and >
that's all. t

THK FARMER AND HIS CIATK.
Why not u Farmers' Club in this
:own? Or call it an Agriculture I
L'lub if the name pleases you any
better.
About every class of people on
earth have their clubs except the
farmer. He is the backbone of the
nation?he feeds the whole world?
lie Is the one man of this earth without
whom we could not exist?and
yet he is a man without a club.
True, there are a few organizations
to which a limited number of
farmers belong, but their meetings
ire of rare occurrence and the usually
devoted to long winded speeches
ind papers that are more tiresome
than instructive to the average
man.
We offer our farmer friends a suggestion,
for what they consider it
p orth.
A few of you should get together
ind from the necleus of such a club.
Fhen issuo an invitation to all farmers
of the community to come into
its membership. Send this invitaion
out over your own signatures.
")ur columns are open to you for this
nirpose.
You might fix dues of 50 cents or
i dollar a year, purely for the purpose
of defraying Incidental expenes
and hall rent.
Just make it a club, pure and simile,
where you all drop in on stated
evenings or Saturday afternoons for
isiting and informal discussion of
inything that may be of interest.
Each member might make it a
mint to relate anything that comes
o his knowledge that would be of
iractlcal benefit to nls brothers of
he farm. In this way a vast fund
if information would be aeeumuated
by each individual, and eollecivelv
it would be of tremendous maerial
advantage to the community.
A Farmers' Club?or an Agri ultural
Club. If you please?should
ic formed in this community. Its
lossibilities are unlimited.
THFV Ii<X?K R.XO.
When you walk along the street
ind see the gutters strewn with refuse.
it looks bad.
When you see empty bottles decorating
the dark corners, that
looks bad?and suspicious.
When you see papers blowing
around over town tf indicates that
neonle are thoucrbtless rind onrelo?<s
If is hart.
When yon son broken class around
nnrtor foot it is pure neglieenee.
and is both had and dangerous.
Wlion you see kitchen garbage
lumped into the hack yard or tossed
over the fence, it looks hart and
smells worse.
When you see vacant property
littered with debris ?>f every nature,
it, too. looks had?is offensive to
the mind as well as to the eye.
When you see a hack yard littered
with the accumulations of months
and of years, it looks worse than
had.
When you see a front yard down
at the heels and going to seed, you
wonder?but. then. we'Ml let you finish
the sentence.
Just how had are we. anyway?
+
THFSF LOOK GOOD.
Paved streets kept olean and in re>a
ir.
Business houses nnrt resldenees
tent neatly painted.
Roads graded and no "duck
"ords" allowed to form.
Front yards with concrete walks,
lower beds, and vacant spots seeded
ind frequently mown.
Rack yards so clean they compel
id miration.
School yards sanitary and with
idequate playgrounds for children.
Store windows with neat displays
if poods and a spirit of thrift in ev
Churches well filled on Sundays. \
No street corner loafers and
nims.
A strong spirit of civic pride.
Kvervbody hustling for hiniselt
ind boosting for this town.
These are good signs?push them
ilong.

AS TilK KDITOIt SF.F.S IT.
Now get a tight grip on yourself
vhlle we dish up a few more editorial
trinklets. Of course we will not
)resunie to pass upon the wisdom
>f our remarks, for, as you know.
?reat minds do not always follow
he same channel, and yours may he
vandering around in search of
icher food for intellectual consutnplon.
First off. we are going to speak
lenfly of yourself a subject. doiiMess,
of some slight interest to you.
Are know you, and your friends)
enow you. but do you know yourielf?
Are you fully acqalnted with]
rour possibilities, and your llmltaions?
But let's eliminate the 11mtatlons
and doal only in posslbillles.
You are a valuable asset to'
his town and this community, r>eause
you have brains, and energy)
ETE LANCASTER NEWS TOT
and perseverance, and are capable f
of doing much for the place we all
call home. Perhaps, though, you
are not making the best uso of your
qualifications? Possibly diffidence
keeps you in the background when
you should be in your rightful place
well up toward the front and talking
and working for the advancement
of this town and this community.
We suggest that you step
lively, and get to the head of the column.
and make yourself a leader.
The more leaders we have the Ijss
followers there will be, and when
we all get to be leaders will be
no limit to the splendid things we
can accomplish. Yes, we think you
[can do it, and others think so. and
now we want to see you both thiuk
and do.
I
Of course we have all heard of
"killing the goose that lays the golden
egg." We think too much of
our splendid farmer friends to 1'L'onj
them to the awkward feathery tribe,
but they surely are the people with
the golden eggs. And isn't it jus:
possible that we of the town are.
"geese." in that we fail to take,
measures to connect up with the
tggs of gold? Isn't, it possible that
we are neglecting the interests of
the fanner to the extent that he in i
time becomes indifferent to us and
send his) baskets of precious metals
to other points in payment for his
necessities? Again we suggest a
I broader spirit of reciprocity. We
suggest that measures be taken to
see that our farmer friends are afforded
every facility for the prompt;
and profitable marketing of their
every product right in this town. It'
does not require any great amount
of intelligence for a person to see
the financial significance of -such a:
course. And don't neglect the wife I
and daughter of the farmer when'
they, too. come to town. It should,
not bo necessary for them to spend;
hours on their feet waiting for the;
farmer to transact his business be-,
fore returning. A comfortable I
waiting room should be provided in
the heart of town, where they can
while away the tedious hours of
waiting by reading, writing or visiting
with one another. Let it oe
a general meeting place for all who
come to town. When we do this we
will find more of the farmer's golden
eggs rolling Into this town
Let's combine business sagacity an I
neighborliness to our common
good.
Now come to life and give us an
answer to this question. "What are
the two things most urgently needed
for the commercial advancement
of this town?" Of courso not every
person will think the same, but we
want to know what YOU think. "
There are many improve.ments and conveniences
needed?things that
will be of practical cash va'ue to us p
?and we would like to tell the poo- j
pie what you think, what everybody
thinks along this line. And you
would enjoy reading those suggestions
yourself. Now suppose you
just sit right down and write out, in \
a few words, what vou consider the ,?
two things most essential to the
i "
future welfare of our town and our ,
tl
people. Do it today, and hand or
mail it to us. We want to publish
each suggestion, with the name < f "
the writer attached. That will he
one step in getting somewhere, and 1
thenext step will be a little easier, *<
We don't want to stand still while %
other towns inarch bv and leave us W
i ^
in their dust. You are just as ^
much entitled to voice your opin- ^
ions as others are theirs, and we '
want to publish it. Now watch the ^
next issue of the paper and see how
many of our citizens are sufficiently j 4,
interested in the future of this town 4!
to catalogue its needs. Don't let ^
yours he the missing name. The In- \
vitation is open to all.
:
Now take a tighter grip on your- w4
self and talk these things over with i
your neighbors. Talk is ot't?-n cheap ?
and valuable at one and the same ^
time. And it's time to talk and J
