TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS =
Events during the past few weeks i
make it necessary to issue some in- !
aflMctions to our correspondents. I rii
^^Hirst, the Editor wishes to say that a
fe^^Hs gratified ut the large number of to
letters now coming in and he b<
H In wishes for more as good as ru
IH)ne of the most important injunc na
is that the writer should not t;(
R > it for granted that the Editor
lows who. he is, but should sign his
Ir her name each time. The post tl(
[rRce address should also be given. (j
V In the letter please be careful to p(
rate only what you know to be the ()r
i Please do not spring jokes on p,
people, unless you are sure it will be co
taken in the spirit intended.
There has been some complaint ^
about reporting the visits of the "

1. COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION
Get together and null together. A TtnnSTPUS'
CLUB of live, determined business men, who will
lay aside petty self-interest, and work together
for tho general good, will put this town on the
map, and it will stay there. Pull together to
make our town more attractive. Pull together
and bring our boys and girls to realize that in the
development of our national resources, in promoting
more scientific farming, in making better
schools, in building better roads, in developing
manufacturing enterprises, in bringing in up-todate
methods of merchandising, and in countless
other ways of community-building, there are opportunities
right in the "old home town" for a
career of usefulness such as can not be found elsewhere.
2. BETTER SCHOOLS
Ignorance tends to poverty and poverty tends to
crime. The majority of the l&w-breakers and
criminals in our county jail are illiterate. Education
prevents crime. It costs less to give a boy a
good education and start him on a n*<?fni
than it would coat later on to give him a trial
and execute him for committing a crime; and the
result is more satisfactory. We want our town
to have as good schools as can be found in the
State.

If you want to live in the (find of a town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's reallv new.

to America. Can we fill them? Bring the

4. GOOD CITIZENSHIP
If you respond to the needs of your town with
what your town needs from YOTl, then no matter
what your vocation may be, you are, indeed, a
good citizen. "When a dozen. such citizens ^et together
they can resurrect a town from the dead
and make it an ideal town to live in. Environment
creates Tendencies. What is the environment
of the boys and girls of our town? I<Jeals
and Amusements affect Character. Impure water,
foul closets, filthy back yards, merchandise unpro
lectea irom mes, affect Health. We don't want
any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria^ in
our town. Paint and lime are two of the greatest,
disinfectants ever discovered. Let us paint up our
residences and stores, and whitewash trees, fences .
and outhouses. It will make a healthier and prettier
town.
