IDLE DOLLARS
M. C. Athey, Editor
Entered
. In every community there
are thousands of idle and
unproductive dollars. 'Idle
dollars may represent value
but they hare no value to
their owners nor the com
munity until they are put
in motion.
Today there is a pleasant and profitable
job for every dollar in the land. Homes
are needed—homes which will make
better citizens, better neighborhoods, a
better town - homes which will con
tribute indirectly to the welfare of
every man, woman and child in this
community.
Loans for home-building
are good investments. You
can select your loan and
keep in close touch with it.
We shall be glad to furnish further in
formation.

WE HAVE. AND WE NEED
The year 1921 is before us.
What we of this town and com
munity accomplish in the next twelve
months will depend mainly upon us,
upon the manner in which we grasp
the opportunities that are open to us.
There is no occasion for becoming
alarmed over the present decline in
commercial activities. The country
is undergoing a period of readjust-
ment, which is quite necessary and
for the best, but the old ship is not
going to hit the rocks, or even cruise
in dangerous waters.
Europe charges us being a nation
of commercialista, and perhaps it is
true, and to our credit. Commercial-
ists, and keen on annexing the coin
of the republic, and of other count
ries, and are not given to asking
other people to support them in idle
ness.
Throught the coming year wc
should utilize our commercial instinct
to the fullest extent.
Our fertile soil is full of wealth
and all that is required is to reach
down and dig it out.
Our factories, and our mills, and
all of our varied yankee enterprises
are capable of vast production of art
icles that are in demand the world
over.
We have more money than ever
before in our history, and are able to
finance any undertaking.
We have will power and the in
itiative to accomplish that which wr
undertake.
We have health, and energy, and
perservance, and the knowledge nec-
cessary to the achievement of success
In our undertakings. .
And we have opportunity.
But there are a few things we need
and without which our successes will
not be the marvels expected from
us.
We need enhanced confidence
one in another.
We need to do a full day’s work
in exchange for a day’s pay.
We need a more direct market
from producer to consumer.
We need to forego the insane de
sire to get rich in a day, and learn
to become satisfied with a fair and
reasonable accumulation of this
world’s goods.
We need to follow more closely the
teachings of the Golden Rule.
In the year that is before us we of
this community should use every ef
fort to achieve even greater successes
than have come to us in the years
that have flown, but those successes
hould be such as will rebound to the
credit of mankind and to the allevia-
tion of the ills of humanity.
THAT RESOLUTION •
Making any new resolutions this
year?
Some make them by the whole
ale and break them as fast as they
ire made.
Others manage to live fairly clean
ives without making them at all.
But there is one resolution which
would be of great benefit to every
person in this community.
Resolve to be a reasonably fair at
tendant at church on Sundays for the
next twelve months, and live up to
your resolution.
But if you are not In sympathy
with resolutions, go to church any
way.
You are welcome. All are glad to
see you, and you are urged to come
again.
You learn things with which you
io not come in contact in any other
place on this earth.
The lessons you learn there are
valuable to you in your home life, in
your business affairs, and in your
daily contact with mankind.
It is the one door in Christendom
which opens freely to all people alike.
It is open to you.
Will 1921 see you there?

We often find fault with people
when we should extend them our
sympathy instead. It’s a hard mat-

Almighty didn't put any there.
