THURSDAY JUNE 19 1930
IF YOU THINK IT WONX r"rectlng it the town and all the peo-
IT WON’T pl la it except themselves was "dead”
and there wasn't aay use to try and
About three o'clock one afternoon I
tat In a barber chair In a town of a-
toout seven thousand population With-
out warning a "guest’’ of the shop
tossed aside a paper he was reading
and said "This Town Doctor dope may
be all right for some towns but it will
never do any good here”
I was all interest Immediately more
go when isnmecne asked ""Why not?”
"Well because it won't” replied the
“Quest” and turning to the barber who
bad me in charge asked “Will it Bill?"
Bill said "I guesq it won't" and went
on shaving
The door opened and a customer en-
tered The “guest” immediately de-
manded “Have you read what the
Town Doctor has to say this week?"
The customer replied that he had
asked whether such would be of any
value to the community of which all
were a part he replied "Well I don’t
know If It wiB do any good here or not
but even if it did I don’t see where
It would get me any thing”
"Me neither” agreed the guest and
the subject drifted to something else
Aa I stepped from the chair I ad-
dressed the "guest” with "May I in-
quire as to your line of business?” He
appeared surprised but replied Tm a
carpenter but not working at it now”
"Why?” X asked "No work” was his
answer
I then asked the customer " You
may think it strange and none of my
business but what Is your line?” “Fore-
man out at the factory but they have
been shut down for three weeks”
I then turned to the barber and ask-
ed "How’s business?” "Slow awful
slow— you see things are awful quiet
here” to which I again asked “Why?”
X would like to give here the exact
answers and remarks that these men
made but the Ellis County News be-
ing a good newspaper would not print
it Suffice it to say that the "reason
why” according to them was not their
fault nor had they anything to do
with bringing about the condition or
make it otherwise
Towns Are People
Towns are people People are all
more or less alike — as they think so
are they v And Just as most of the
people In a community Chink just so
is the community Let enough peo-
ple think a thing is so and it might
as well be so on the other hand let
enough people think a thing to not so
and la course of events it win not be
act
These men in the barber shop even
though out of work and therefore de-
void of pay THOUOHT it would do
no good to try to "build” and other-
wise jnakt better the community jn
which they lived and worked and as
long as they maintained that view it
wouldn’t do any good And if their
opinion was the opinion of the major-
ity of the people in the community it
wouldn’t do the community any good
regardless of Town Doctor articles or
any thing else -Shattuck
or any other community is
Just as good Just as live Just as at-
tractive as the MAJORITY of the peo-
ple think It is Business will be just
as the same majority are willing to
make it
Quit thinking Shattuck is dead or
that it won’t do you any good to make
it better Qet it out of your HEAD
that what YOU do think or say won’t
make any difference Get it into
your head that YOU can make things
better
GET TOGETHER with others who
have the same idea and you can make
Shattuck what ever you WANT to
make It
If you think you can't you cant If
you think it won't it won't

Isaak’s Walton's Fishing Tackle
When a man looks over the large
assortment of fishing equipment now
on the market and compares it with
that used by the ancient Izaak Walton
be stops to wonder what the fishing
game is -coming to
In old Izaak's day they possessed
none of the finer modem products with
array of rainbow colors and fancy
shapes that are supposed to fool the
fish Just when the use of silk worm
gut began we cannot say but we are
ready to bet a frog harness that Wal-
ton never saw any Now we have
various kinds and colors of gut both
straight and tapered and some are
camaflouged in such a manner that
the poor unsuspecting fish cannot see
them
In fishing lines we have the braided
silk waterproof silk enameled silk
vacuum-treated silk et cetera Poor
fellow Walton had to get along with
horse hair When our friend Izaak
wished to fish he used such a line and
for his leader he used a single strand
of horse hair filched from the tail of
the old grey mare We wonder wheth-
er some of our present day anglers
could make good with the tackle of
those pioneer days
The modem fisherman Is a rather
particular individual about his rod
reel and line— to say little of his sel-
ection of lures The rod must be of a
certain weight balance length and
action The reel must possess all the
mechanical requirements of a watch
The line must be properly dressed
correct weight and possess flexibility
Lures thousands of different types
shapes colors and designs are -on the
market today all of which have their
following
Still with all this change from Iz-
aak Walton’s equipment to that of the
modern angler we wonder whether the
pioneer fisherman didn't enjoy his
days on a stream or lake just as much
as the angler of today "Love quiet-
ness and Angling” is an ancient slo-
gan— but we feel it is still in vogue to-
day even thought the equipment used
differs much from Walton’s crude out-lit

“I Cannot Praise
This Konjola
Too Strongly”
Says Wichita Lady Suffered For
12 Years From Stomach
Trouble
MRS DELLA SETTLE
"I cannot praise this Konjola too
strongly because I tried many other
medicines and treatments but none
gave me the remarkable relief that
Konjola did” said Mrs Della Settle
1719 Mildred Avenue Wichita "I
just had to force myself to eat and
nearly everything I ate made me sick
I had cramping pains in my stomach
and bowels until I could hardly endure
them and I simply felt miserable all
the time
"Finally I decided to put Konjola
to the test That proved to be a wise
decision Right from the start I no-
ticed Improvement I now have a
much better appetite and meals are a
pleasure as food digests without pains
or misery in my stomach My bow-
els are functioning as they should and
It certainly is a relief to be rid of that
tired worn-out feeling I gladly en-
dorse this splendid medicine that re-
stored my health”
Konjola has become the most talked
of medicine in America because it
makes good And Konjola makes
good in the most stubborn cases when
given a fair trial and from six to eight
bottles are used
Konjola is sold in Shattuck at the
Davis Drug Store and by all the best
druggists in all towns throughout this
