The spirit of a town is so
easily understood by two or
three things. To get a town’s
“number” you need only look
at these. Once you get the j
“key” to community life, you
can do ycur own studying and
write your own articles.
First, I would judge a town
by its sidewalks! On teh way
up town from a station you’ll
pretty near know the type of
town by the care they have for
pedestrians. The automobile
is still an autocratic thing—the
wheelbarrow and the pedestrian
both use sidewalks to get along.
Two towns on the Rock Island
east of Maungm are examples.
One of them is Fort Cobb; I
walked up from the station all
to\CY>-
__ te it too cTmsfkly for fear of
the way on good, well-clstnsd a libel suit! But over the
walks and left my traveling bag town—-to the hotel—out to the
with a merchant. tahopl boiwy from the hotel—
‘‘How far is it to the school lazy rihid; tal belongs to a
house?” I asked. “Just six town, and ft is “lazy mud!”
Don’t Forget that you can
buy Better Flour Cheaper,
while our present stock is
on hand!

No wonder, then, that when
a oommunity field man called
foe a conference, not a business
mati attended? The spirit of
a town is revealed by “lazy”
mud or by sidewalks.
For the other two, after you
have studied “hx’al transporta-
tion” and its facilities— you
have no difficulty in the line up.
Test out a commercial club,
or a chamber of commerce with
any community appeal—b ut
know ahead of time tnat you
will secure a response or get
the “grand bounce” according
to the walks in the town!
The third test—you need not
even look it up, that is the kind
of church buildings.
Now if a town has good side
walks you will see them leading
out to the modern church edi-
fices.
If not-! Well you
have seen the old shacks before
—what’s the use of wading in
mud to look at them?
So its sidewalks first, Dollar
Marks or Men Down Town sec-
ond, and shacks or Church
Plants consequently!—C opy-
righted.

After being dismissed for a
week on account *of the Christ-
mas holidays, school children
were very glad (?) to again go
to school Monday. Due to the
dxtremely cold weather and the
faulty working of the steam
heating plant, the periods have
been cut short as possible, and
most of the children have been
excused from a part of their
studies.
If it is a wickless oil stove
you want, we have it. The
Florence has no equal.—Knight
& Grimmett.
Mrs. Maragret Bosworth, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bak-
er, and who, with her husband,
Lanis, is now living at Galyes-
ton, Texas, has been here the
last couple of weeks, the guest
of her parents and other rela-
tives and friends.
