LET'S STOP THAT LEAK
Our community's money Ix-longs to us. It should bo used for the improvement
of our town and for tlie good of our country. Arc we allowing it to leak away ?
Ami arc wo doing anything to discover the leaks? Can't we put homo trade
to work? There is a workman who can stop the leaks. The tool ho uses is mu
tual patronage. We farmers and merchants should get together as masters and
use this powerful agent to stop tlie leak that is fast draining the resources of
this town and this country. It takes co-operation. That's all.
