THE BOOSTER.
What would your town
amount to without the booster l
Ever stop to ask yourself whe
ther you are boosting or just
hanging on?
The booster is the fellow
who takes hold of a forlorn
hope and, by his cheerful op
timism and bulldog perseveran
ce keeps hammering away till
he accomplishes his object.
Little difficulties do not
trouble the booster. He fat
tens on them. He is so red
blooded that he scorns an
easy walk over in any under
taking. He usually hunts for
game worth while, and in all
such hunts the difficulties are
numerous and great. But he
goes at them with a will to
win, and will is the only qual
ity under God’s heaven that
will win.
The booster doesn’t see only
the fault and failings of the
town, or if he does see them,
he passes them by with a smile
and a cheerful prophecy that
they will soon be remedied. He
sees the bright side, and he so
constantly plays up that bright
side that after a while you just
naturally come to the conclu
sion that it far outweighs the
dark.
But don’t get it under your
hat that boasting is boosting.
The two are as widely differ
ent as daylight and dark. The
boaster is satisfied, the booster
is ever reaching out for more.
The boaster proudly calls at
tention to what we have, but
the booster calls attention to
what we can have if we display
sufficient energy. The boaster
lives in the glory of the pres
ent, but the booster is ever
looking to the future and plan
ning new and greater achieve
ments.
Be a booster. Get under the
load and help “tote.”
Saying what you are going
to do is very different from
doing what you said you would
do.
The Constitutional Conven
tion seems to have struck a
snag when it struck the gradu
ated land tax question.
Russia may at least congrat
ulate herself upon the fact that
the future can bring nothing
that is much worse than the
present.
Speaking of peace terms, the
only ones that will count will
be proposed by the allies and
will include the things we are
fighting for, not a lot of cam
ouflaged German demands.
The German government and
the German newspapers refuse
to tell the German people that
the Americans have arrived.
But the Yanks will spread the
news themselves on their way
to Berlin.

An exchange gives this defi
nition of an automobile:
“The automobile is a large
iron and rubber contrivance for
transforming gasoline into lux

riage body mounted on fat rub
ber tired wheels and contain
ing a gizzard full of machinery
suffering from various ail
ments. It has run over hun

of people. It can transport

in less time than any other
method.

Lend Your Money
As Freely As They Are
Giving Their Lives
You don't have to fight, you don’t have to die
BUT—
Your son does, or your brother who is now across the
way—or the kid now in khaki to whom you used to
give pennies a short time ago.
That money you have laid away for a “rainy day”_
wouldn’t you give every nickle of it to keep a Hun’s
knife away from his throat?
Well the Hun is here, and so is his knife-and so is
the “rainy day '—its raining now, raining bombs and
sharpnel upon our boys “over there.”
Make Every Day a Thrift Stamp Day
Your government is calling on you, not just your nei
gi mr but you, to buy War Savings and Thrift Stamps
Lend your money as freely as they are giving their lives
