"Not my lookoal," you say well,
let's consider It in I his way.
If, in your estimation, your

a good turn to your fellow citizen,
but you will be doing yourself a
favor. This Isn't ii, mniter of com
munity boosting or civic loyalty or
civic welfare it Is purely a matter
of good business mighty good
business, on your part.
If you live in a town you, or
those who provide your livelihood,
are In business or they at least
earn a living In the community. If
you own real estate, there is thai
much more reason why you should
go out of your way to see to It
that your community gels all the
business possible, but you don't
have to ows two or three store
buildings, a house and lot, or be n
slock holder In a bank, in order
that It pay you a profit. Therefore,
it is not only your duly, but It is

business to see to it that your town i
is not looked ilnwii upon, as it
surely will be. if its stores are be
hind tlie time. - j
Hut it is ten to one that your '
stores are not as poor ns lots of
people thing them to he, Vo'.ir.

anything that you may want to j

there are times when it is nothing more or less than a nuis

its abuse, and the outcome of the New Yorkers lawsuit will
be watched with a pood deal of interest.
We still have the idea that whatever a man chooses to do in
his own home he may do. There are certain limits, to be
sure; if he entertains a noisy, sinjrmir party at " in the morn

up a smoky and noisy machine shop in his house, his neighbors
