A booster is one who believes in pushing things to a successful conclusion. A booster always looks on the bright side of every thing he's an optimist The booster says this is a good world; this is a good country; this is a good town. He praises the country and pulls for the town. Nothing small and narrow about him. He's a booster. He believes in pushing a good thing along and wants everj body to help. He's a benefit to any community in which he happens to casts his lot The knocker is a sour, dissapointed individuaf. he glories in human misery and enjoys a family row. He has no faith in the integriay of man or the virtue of women. He is a pessimist He hates the world, "cusses" the country and runs downs the town which tolerates him. Don't be a knocker. Join the ranks of the boost ers and look pleasant. You will make everpbody else feel better and end by feeling better yourself. POMONA MEETING AT NATAL. Half of Natal Grange No, 302, P. of H. Aug. 5.
