. It Is a bad policy to apeak deprecia

by another, "If you live In a town you
should believe In It." If you don't
believe your town la a little better In
moat resctathau any of Its neighbor
you should move out. Like other
pl0 , It has advantage which others
have not, and making that fact known
whenever the opportunity prwnls
Itm lf. At home or abroad, w hether
pursuing pleasure or engaged In bul
news, do not forget to give thotte with
whom you come In contact to under
stand that you live In a live town pop.
ulated by enterprising, go ahead, pio-
greMlve people and one that Is advanc

"leaking of It as ' fixwlllml" and old
fogylsh or denouncing it aa traveling
In a rut. There Is nothing to hinder
any chronic fault-finder from removing
from a town that seems dull to hint to
one that he may consider more up-bi-
