together with thy neighbors with all
thy heart and strength and mind.
Thou shall work together in thy or­
ganisations and clubs for the com­
mon welfare. Thy leaders shalt thou
learn to obey. Thou shalt serve on
committees where thou art put and
not intrude on committees 'where
thou art not put. Thus thou shalt
know each other better, thy work
shall prosper, and thy friendships
shall multiply.
9. Thou shalt be a good neighbor
to all who live in thy home town,
whether they be rich or poor. Thou
shalt speak ill of none and good of
many. Thou shalt be a friend to
strangers and visit the sick in their
affliction.
10. Thou shalt go to church for
the honor of thy home town and for
thine own good. Thou shalt not con­
sider thyself too wise: too busy, too
bad nor too godd to spend an hour
or two on Sunday with thy neigh­
bors In the worship of God. Thou
shalt not send thy children to church.
Thou shalt bring them there. Thou
shalt offer thyself to thy spiritual
leader for the service of God and thy
community. So shall ye win many
battles together.

BUILD IN THE SPRING
All indications show that
lumber prices have reach­
ed rock bottom. There
are so many new homes
needed that it is only rea­
sonable to expect build­
ing costs to increase with
spring demand.
Select a design for your new home. Place the con­
tract for the material now. Build as soon
as the weather will permit.
