Its victims come slowly at first and unless , it is hunted ' down , it gains ' in ferocity, and envelope and . develops quickly. This monster has never paid, taxes toward the upkeep of the locality and its presence in our midst should be made , more and more objectionable . at every turn. The only way in which to drive out the monster is through the - same spirit of co operation that has brought about the up building.. If every; man, woman and child in : our happy city family will unite in cooper ating with the home commercial industries, the mail order octopus will be quickly driv en to tespair and thence to starvation. Let's all .jget together and continue the prosperity and sucoesa that has been ours In the past. It has taken many years . of co-operative efforts to build op a community like this. We have labored Jointly, our forefathers la bored and their forefathers before them. The up-buildihg and beautifying: of this lo cality has been in the main brought .about through our contributions most popularly known as taxation. Each one of us has thus contributed toward the upbuilding and sus tenation of the community and we have couie to enjoy its resources. With this considered In the light that it deserves, we are prompted to protect what we have built up. Like thedocile animals of the forests, there is always some monster preying upon and prowling about in search of the life blood.
