T. ..H lcl w-L cher FISHER WRITES OF COMMERCIAL CLOO (Continued from page 1). in legitimate advertising and renders to the people of his community the name kind of service he announce in his advertisement. Is It Worth the Kffort ? People these days that have any life left in them like to live In a community where the town Is clean, the sidewalks in good repair, where the streets and gutters are not Btrewn with a lot of old boxes, where the storekeepers do not sweep the cigar stubbs Into the streets. Where they can send their children to a public school that is modern and up-to-date. Where playgrounds and parks are at their disposal. Where band concerts are given in a park provided with seats and places of comfort and not on the street corner, the latter for the sole pur pose of getting the people's money because a few storekeepers are so small and dried up that they refuse to contribute unless the band con certs are given on a certain corner regardless of the discomforts of the rspectators. Any committee these days that ac cepts subscriptions from so-called business men who demand or re quest that amusements be held at certain places should bf told by the committee that their money is not needed. Better not have a celebra tion if you have to adopt these back woods methods. Of course If it is agreed at a meet ing that a certain entertainment is to take place at .a specified place and the man who is solicited doubts the honesty of the committee be all right for the person who sub if they expect to carry out the wishes of the organization, but to cater to any one man or set of men in a cprtain section Just because they have given a few dollars, is a practice that will kill any club and city and you will be laughed at from all sides. I wonder why these so called buslnes smen demand more of their Commercial organisation than they do of their lodge or church? When they give a subscrip tion to one of these organisations why Isn't it just as fair to say to the committee, you bring me a crow now, for the money I have given you? What's the difference? Your Town Is Going Ahead Or Going Hack A few years ago competition was not so keen as it is today. With the automobile on every corner, in every city and on nearly every farm, with the railroads running their up-to-date trains and efficient service, coupled with the co-operative spirit in nearly every community In the country means that your town will have to get out of the rut If it is in one, or the rut will soon be so deep that it will be a grave. Don't get scared because the war is on, now is the time to keep your club going. Just stop a few minutes, go over the situation, take an Inventory of yourself, see how many meetings you have attended, what help you have given to your city and or ganization in making it a bigger and better place in which to live and then when you have done this, call the president and secretary out of bed (they will be glad to hear the good news tell them you are with them and before the year has rolled around you will wonder why you have not gotten into the harness long ago. You will find that "Old Jones" is not such a bad man as you thought, that "Bill" wasn't just taking an active part because he liked to get his name in the news papers and that the town is a whole lot better than you ever dreamed it could be. Get the spirit, show the pep, grab an oar, get in the boat, pull to beat the band with the other boys and help the old town like you have been talking about. Marvelous Growth of the West On eof the members of the. new staff at The Herald was over to Bay ard the other day. One of the strik ing things of the town was its mar velous increase during the past year. The enrollment at the high school has Increased from 150 pupils last year to 4 50 this year. This new high school was recently completed and is equipped in a very thorough way, at the present rate of growth in Bayard their facilities for handling pupils will be outgrown in a few years. The residences of the city show a great predominance of 'bungalows, all very neat and making a fine showing for the prosperity of the city. Practically every business house on the main street is brand new and with none of frame construction. The new home of the Frst State Bank is two stories high, and is the finest looking building in Bayard. Viewing this development leads us to believe that the west will develop with greater rapidity each year so that in a few years we will rival the eastern part of the state for wealth and industries.
