DO wo want more Industries, more people, more wealth in this town? If so, here arc a few vital points to consider. The live town Is always on ths lookout to add an other industry to its list. Industries make work, and work attracts workers, and of worker the town is built, A manufacturing plant added to your town means a positive addition to the earning capacity of every citizen of the town. So that, in encouraging new in dustries you arc not only patriotically aiding your community, but are directly promoting 3our own for tune". We have seen a few so c tiled business men who were .satisfied with the population of their community didn't want any more people, didn't want any more trade, didn't want any more money. Those men were dead und didn't know it but the community DID know It. The town that makes a determined effort to attract men and industries will GET them. Its facilities may be limited; its wealth may not be great, its situation may even not be advantageous. But a LIVE PUBLIC SPIRIT'-an appreciation of every added asset is the feature that most attracts the intelligent business man who is seeking location. No manufacturer wants to conduct a business in a dead town. It matters not that the town may not use a dollar's wortli of his goods. The very atmosphere of the dead town is like a wet blanket on his business. The town with pep, with ginger, with hustle, in jects the some qualities into every business witiiin its environs. ShreA'd business men know this, and hunt for just such towns. If we would grow as a town we must show that we WANT growth. And we must offer INDUCE MENTS. For instance We want to land a manufacturing plant. We go after it. The managers stipulate for a, convenient site donated. We donate it. We secure the plant. Now, did the donation of the site secure tliat plant? IT DID NOT. That was the smallest consideration. The SPIRIT that PROMOTED the donation was the magnet that did the pulling. The managers of the enterprise wanted to locate in a community where that spirit ruled. They could afford to pay for a site, but there was no way of detenu. ning whether the com munity really WANTED their enterprise located in its midst. And thus it goes on and on. It is not the bonus, or the site, or even the exemp tion from taxes that is the roal drawing power in loca ting new enterprises that aro su'-e to aid in building - up and developing our community. It is the SPIRIT BEHIND these actions. It is the BROAD and JUST view taken by the CITIZENS of the community-a view that RECOGNIZES the VALUE of the enterprise sought, that CONCERNS its USEFULNESS as a FACTOR in the community. We arc all human. We like to be appreciated at what we fool and know to be pur real worth. Es'en the hardest headed business man among us is susceptible to a just appreciation of his worth to the community. So when wo show thu industry that we WANT it; when we say to it, by our word.-, and our actions, that wo APPRECIATE it and VALUE it at Its TRUE WORTH, then it is that industry conceives a desire to be among us and of us. Our town will boas big as our genuine ambition. It will be as progressive as we are. And the spirit of the population wo attract will be OF THE SAME KIN)) as our own spirit. You never llnd a llvo person under a slab in a grave yard.- And towns are but collections of people and enterprises from which those people live. Just now wo need a good first-class hotel. There is a WAY TO GET IT. Will wo do it? Illue Orns Echoes. Olin Uoren returned Friday night from Kiinsna City, where he attended the tractor show. While there ho se cured the agency for a tractor, and will soon begin demonstrating the value of such in a practical manner.

In the middle of his sons; he suddenly stopped and aald to his audience: "What Is the height of extravagance? Don't know? Give It up? Well, I should say It was to pay 11.50 to sit In a stall In ordr to rwad a penny paper." And the' member of the audience who was pal pably referred to went out. WARNING. The County Engineer would be very thankful If the parties would return those lanterns that were stolen on the State road. They wcyo placed there as dancer signals. Persons doing such little petty stealing as this endanger the lives of the traveling public and might cauie innocent persons to be killed or wounded fur life I guesB the guilty parties think it a high cut to get cheap lanterns, but it might turn out to be a short road to the peniten tiary. This is not the first time that things like this has happened. It has been almost impossible to keep ropes on our Fresnos. besides several picks, shovels and other small tools have been stolen in the last few months, and not very long ago a small sack of bridge bolts were stolen, In tact there seems to be a mania along that road to steal tools, or anything that can be found loose at both ends. Now we don't care how much you cuss the road or any of its construction, but whoever is doing this is some petty thief that might be brought to J"stice, as we have a very good line on the guilty parties, with good prospects of an early arrest and conviction, so it might be well for those things to be replaced and put where you found them. We under stand one i-arty said he borrowed them for a few days. W. M INGRAM, 2-1 -'-: It. County Engineer.
