HOW TO MAKE A TOWN
Encourage everyone especially new
men to come in and settle among you,
particularly those who are worthy and
active, whether they have capital or
not. Their labor alone is worth mon-
ey. Those who have capital will buy
lots, build houses, or tear out and re-
model the old ones. Go to work and
stimulate every legitimate enterprise
by giving it all the friendly encourage-
ment you can, and by uniting your ;n-
dustry, intelligence and capital in a
common causa. Cultivate a public
spirit and talk less than \ou work.
Help your neighbor. If he .s in dan-
ger of breaking down prop him up
in some way, either by kind words,
good council or a lift from your poc-
ket. If he gets fairly down before
you know of his situation, set him on
his feet again, his misfortune is to be
pited, not blamed, and his talents and
labor are worth money to the commun-
ity. Besides it may some day be your
turn to need a corresponding amount
of sympathy. Encourage public im-
provement for the good of the town.
Speak well, talk encouragingly of the
town you live in, of its prospects, of
your neighbors, and in fact of every-
thing likely to advance the public
good. It is such little things that
make a town grow, says an exchange.
Their cost is insignificant when divid-
, ed among all, but when concentrated
I into general effort they do the busi-
ness very thoroughly.
Dr. Landsden, of Granite, was vis-
iting friends and looking after busi-
ness in Mangum Wednesday.

and caused much favorable comment
among the attendants at the sale. His
$2,500.00 herd bull was a revelation
to many who had never before at-
tended a fine stock sale, and some who
did not know such animals could be
raised. Several of his fine Duroc bred
gilts were sold to ambitiou. ooys who
will organize a Boys Club in the coun-
try. Mr. Sullivan took the plain notes
of these boys, and offered to help any
boy present who would purchase one
of these fine sows and enter into the
thoroughbred swine breeding for him-
self.
Every boy in Greer county would
make a better farmer if he could vis-
it a farm like Sullivan's occasionally.

this play has struck a popular chord
that will undoubtedly live for years to
come. The play is a new one, having
had its premier presentation in the
fall of 1918. The two outstanding
characters in the play, Squire Berger
and John Wesla, were handled in ad-
mirable way by Eldrid Pierce and Em-
mett D. Boring. Mr. Pierce as the
Squire has created a quaint character
of the old time true type of ruralist
manhood that bids fair to become a
classic.
The other members of the Company
