WHAT DO YOU OWE TO YOUR COMMUNITY? Friend, stop and think what you owe to your community. But first stop and think what your community has done for you. How many men in your community have accumulated what they have outside of that community? Very few. you w-ill admit. Now. how was it possble for you to accumulate property? Was it purely by your own exertions, or did not business conditions contribute largely to the result? If you are a farmer, and were your farm a hun dred miles from civilization, what would it profit you? How much wealth could you amass? No, friend, your holdings are not solely the result of your own energy. The entire population of your com munity has contributed to your up building. What though you are the most cap able lawyer or doctor, if you are lo cated in a sparsely settled eountry where there is little demand for your services, what does your capability profit you? What of the expert builder if there are no houses to build? What of the engineers, if the nearest approach to a locomotive were the old ox-wagon of our grandfathers. So you see that wealth is very largely a matter of environment. CHRISTMAS GREETINGS SHOP EARLY A Pleasing and Suitable Gift for Young and old * ' 1 A complete line of Toys, Games, Manicure and Toilet Sets CHRISTMAS CANDY AND NUTS A SPECIALTY THE REXALL STORE || WM. GRAEFE, Proprietor / j; Without a populous community al men are at a disadvantage in its at cumulation, and as th^ communit' grows in population the opportunity for accumulating wealth increases. This by the way of reminding yoi that however “self-made" you ma boast yourself, you are in reali* “community-made.” and you owe debt to your community. And thi size of that debt is in exact proportioi to the amount of your holdings in th< community. Now if you owe this debt—and w< do not think you will dispute it isn’t it up to you to discharge it whei called upon to do so? How many times has your com j munitv called upon you in vain whei I plans for its betterment were beinf made? A road was to be built foi which funds were not available. Dir you contribute? A school house was to be repaired and the grounds beaut tified. How much did you help' Your church was old and out of date and the membership wanted to rebuilt Did you chip in? in snort, you are paying your aebi to the world and to your communit> in the only logical way—assisting tc the extent of vour ability to make i; a better community for your childret and your children’s children to live in? Now you will admit that you owe to your parents a debt you can nevei repay—to them. The only way you can possible pay is to pass it on to an other generation. That is nature’s eternal plan. Just so you can pass on to the com munity of the future what the com munity of the past has done for you. Will you pay the debt? It makes not a bit of difference whc you are or what you are. this town has done more for you than you have done for it. You may be rich, or you may be poor, or just in moderate cir cumstances, but in either case your home town has done much for you that you have never recognized or re paid. This statement is worthy of serious consideration by every citizen who believes in giving as he re ceives. If you give it the considera tion it deserves you will get busy right away and do our full share to wards making this a bigger and bet ter and more prosperous town in every way. PUBLIC SALE.
