A town la jUBt as guod or just as bad as the people who are damning It. Every community, even if it hasn't more 'ban two hundred inhabitants, should have a town-room where the cigars are good and where everyone can meet, free from religion or pol itics, and absorb the good qualities of one another; where the spirit of the Golden Rule can be instilled; for no religion and no political party can deny this perfectly scientitlc princi pal. A town Is seb' m tho result of vir gin natural conditions. In any event It was man who saw the natural ad vantages?and frequently it was some one individual. For Illustration: There Is no na tural reason why Cleveland should have been the oil center of the world. There are no oil wells in or about the community. So far as oil Is concerned, and as a shipping point, it is no bet ter than a dozen and cue other towns. It was simply John \>. Rockefeller. Ho wanted to live In Cleveland and . his Individuality, his personality, brought the oil to him. There Is no reason why Boston should he tho shoe market of the world. There are no hides there. They are all shipped from the West, Simply some man who knew how to make shoes on a large scale wanted to live there and his success encour aged others to follow in his wake. There is no physical reason why Chicago should be the meat-packing center of the world. It could as well , have been St. Louts. Simply old l'hil Armour wanted to live there. In nearly every town you visit you hear some resident say: "Aw. this ain't nothtn* but an overgrown coun try village'" The resident of any town that makes auch a statement wears whiskers and boots at heart. Of course, if your town isn't sporty enough for you, why, you can move? that ain't the town's fault. If you get too sporty, you'll have to move anyhow. It isn't the sports thut make a town ?it's the jays. The man that gave the light for the sports on the Great White Way was a Jay?Thomas A. Edison, a jay tele graph operator from Indianapolis. .lohn 1). Rockefeller, who, in a mon ey way, is the ideal of every sport, was a jay from Rlchford, New York. Russell Sage, who loaned money to the sports for years, was a jay?he started by jumping counter in a coun try store. Some jay from Connecticut went to 1 the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893. Hfl SCI a stand on the Midway and sold wooden nutmegs to the sports for souvenirs. Finally he ran out of wooden ones and sold 'em the real thing at twenty-tlve cents a throw. William Dean Howells. America's foremost literary character, will take more pride in telling you of the days | when he set type as a jay printer on the Sentinel at Ashtabula. Ohio, than t:i? literary success of later years the days when they used shoe pegs to space (he type, and about a printer getting drunk and using a plug of Star tobacco for a cut. Nearly every man In art. science, literature, Industry and commerce here in America today either is or was a jay. Cincinnati is the supply center of the South. Years ago, at the waning of the river traffic, it was about to give place to Louis Vllle and Memphis in the coin merce of that territory. The citizens of Cincinnati got busy ami built the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. This road was the dream of a jay. They called him a jay dreamer, but his dream saved the town. You hear people of the Far West In mercantile, Industrial, artistic and scientific pursuits, saying: "If we were only In Chicago we could do or get so and so." In Chicago you hear them say: "If we were only in New York." When In New York you hear them wishing for something In Lon don or Paris. Chicago, New York, London and Paris are all the results of their < iti Sens taking the conditions and ma terial at hand and doing the best they could with them?Just as we can all do. There you are: Any place is Just what the people who live In it make it. If any of the towns that any of us live In are not to our liking, why let's get busy?it's all up to us. The first process In the Improve, ment of any town Is to get rid of the people who are damning It ?Rank Notes. See our Lown Swings, they are splendid values. 8. M. ft E. II. Wllkei ft Co.
