No Matter What You Want, You
Can Buy It Here.
This town is a mighty good place to live in. It is practclally free
of petty jealousies among its citizens and is not menaced by men
of narrow ideas who cultivate the spirit of revenge as in some
places. Business rivalry is acute, bet fair and honorable, thus pro
moting a healthy competition which guarantees to the buying pub
lic the closest prices.
There is no plalace the size of this with more good schools, whole
some amusement and better business. Adjacent to this city are
splendid farms, in high state of cultivation, producing well and the
larmers--the life of this section-find a ready market here for their
products at a good price. By diversifying their crops, raising live
Stock :and dairy cattle, those who till the soil have something to
-cll the year round.
The merchants, in order to meet the demand of these prosperous
farmers and the people of tish town and parish, aB carry large
stocks of seasonable merchandise at a most reasonable price.
You can BUY ANYTHING here
In the hardware line from a monkey-wrench to a steam thresher;
the simplest tool to the best equipment for the mechanic or home
too: chest; a sludl stove to the best Range; a toy wagon to the most
favored of farm wagons or velhicles.
In dry goods the stocks are kept up to the mdnute, both in staple
andnotlons and you can satisfy your wants with anything from a
romper to the most elaborate suit or gown; a school outfit for the
boys and girls or a better suit for the youths and misses; overalls
for the man who does manual labor or a dress suit for the profes
bional or business man.
In lumber everything is offoerUl from a bundle of shingles to ha:d
wood flooring; and any order can be filed whether for a garage,
barn or a palatial dwelling.
In furniture the stocks are large and it you desire a cheap rock
ing chair or a costly dining room or parlor suite, it is here. The
small home or the palace can be furnished right.
In groceries you can supply your table with the "substantial."
of life or satisfy your appetite with luscious melons and fruits In
season, and vegetables and other things. Fresh meats of the high.
est quality, too.
The drug stores carry standard proprietary medicines and all pre
scriptions are filled by registered pharmacists, aaccurately, and skill
ed physicians are here to minister to those who are sick.
In automobiles, tractors and the like, all popular cars are sold
here and you can get what you want in a business or pleasure car.
This happy condition is eliminating the desire of those who in
former years, and a few even now, sending out of town for their
mer.-handise. The "Buy-at-Homd ' policy is more and more ad
cered to mid is proving more profitable and more satisfactory, for
buying from foreign concerns "sight unseen" is not the satisfactory
way

COMMUNITY HOUSE.
(Oontinued from page 1)
The Community House means that
we are to have a common meeting
palce where we may cultivate those
beautiful social customs that were
once so characteristic of p'ir count-y,
especially of the Southland. Man is
not only a "playing animal," as a
certain philosopher said, buit he is
also a social being. .He belongs to,
the social structure and has no right
to separate himself from his fellows.
In other words, he is a pa.: of the
comma i'ty li:fe and has nor. ful:ilad
his ob"gat:iLL to his felli man, or
to h's Gcd. unless he is willing to
devote a rart of his time--a part of
himsef --to the community in which
he Ir.vs. The happiest aid most
prospe, us people in the world are
those who rctognize this s'ee c, obli
gation. and who enter into its l!fe,
not be.:sase they are forcsri to, but
because tbhey are glad of the privi
lege. There are certain intrests
common to us. We live in God's
big world; under the same sky; we
breathe the same air; we are con
cerned about the same essential proe
lems in this life and the life to come
Why not cultivate an association that
will be mutually helpful and
strengthening?
Not only does man owe something
to h's neighbor in a social way, but
he owes something to the communi
ty itself. There are community prob
lems of mutual interest. We deisre
to live in a healthy community; in
a well governed and well orderel
community. It is a matter that
vitally concerns every citizen and
we cannot afford to assume an att.
tude of indifference. Certainly it
should not be our disposition to sit
around as miserable fault finders
and desteststble hinderers. In prac
tically every community there are
mud-slingers, scandle mongers, cen
sorious critics; seeking, vulture lik',
to tear their neighbors, and the co.n
munity itself, into a thousand piecas.
We elect a mayor and a town coun
cil. Then we elect ourselves as a
committee of a whole to make their
lives as miserable and useless as we
possibly can. Some of us crit'clae
them for improving community con
ditions; others critliise them if they
attempt improvements and much .:
said, of gross extravagance and thy
plrofligate waste of the "peopl,'+
money." We lay in wait for them
on the street corner; we sandwlcb
them in during the dinner hour; we
spend our summer's vacation tearing
them I terally to pieces. We give
them all the trouble we can during
their administration; put a thousand
obstacles in their way, so that they
can do as little as possible-then,
when election day comes, put them
out of office for falling to do the
things we would not let them do.
Now, a Community House becomes
the very center of life, where we may
meet and discuss the problems of in
terest of our community. It is here
where constructive discussions may
be had and where sentiment may be
cryetalized into helpful and beneflc al
programs for those things that wily
develop us into a modern and grow
ing community.
* *
The Community House proposes to
have a recreation hall in this build
ing that will be attractive to the old
and young alike. There will be
music and games; a library and read
ing room; a place for social an I
friendly gatherings. Encouragement
will be given to outdoor sports, such
as golf and tennis. The Community
House proposes to encourage physi
cal development of the children and
hopes to have classes in physical cul
ture. There will be community sing
ing and occasional programs of music
and readings. There w'ill be open,
meetings for the discussion of com
unity problems, and perhaps some
day our political friends will sit
around - our gatherings and discover
just what the people expect them to
do with the offices they hold. The
Community House believes that
every citizen of the community is
also a good citizen of the nati'i.
One of the greatest needs today is
a deeper cpirit of patriotism and love
for the traditions of our country.
Shall we not delight in a careful
study of these questions and the en
couragement of red-blooded Ameri
canism in the hearts of our chi:d
ren?
The Community House is for the
mutual benefit of all the people anid
its activities will Ibe conducted in
such a manner that no one will be
offended as to his religious, politla.:
or social convictions. There will be
no Sunday desecrations; there will
be no gambling; there will be no
improper conduct; there will be -to
abuse of the privileges offered to all,
but a splendid opportunity given to
everybody who desires to enter into
a large and useful service. It is
hoped that it may become a real
community center; a place where all
the crganisations that are seeking

"Following a discussion of condit'oss existing in the Third District,

"Whereas, Mr. John M. Parker, our distinguished candidate for Vilc.

been nominated, the candidacy of Wilson, thus exercising his right as an

"Whereas, this committee has the same right to express its choice, an,-'
