WHAT DO YOU OWE
TO YOUR COMMUNITY?
—
Friend, stop and think what
you owe to your community.
But first stop and think what
your community has done for
you.
How many men in your com
munity have accumulated what
j they have outside that com
munity ?
Now, how was it possible
for you to accumulate proper
ty? Was it purely by your own
exertions, or did not business
i conditions contribute largely
ito the result? If you are a far
mer, and were your farm a
hundred miles from civiliza
tion, what would it profit you?
How much wealth could you
artiass?
No, your holdings are not
solely the result of your own
energy. The entire population
of your community has con
tributed to your upbuilding.
What though you are the
most capable lawyer or doctor,
if you are located in a sparsely
settled country where there is
little demand for your services,
what does your capability pro
fit you?
What of the expert builder
if there are no houses to build?
What of the engineers, if the
nearest approach to a locomo
tive were the old ox-wagon of
our grandfathers?
So you see that wealth is very
largely a matter of environ
ment. Without a populous com
munity all men are at a disad
vantage in its accumulation,
and as the community grows
in population the opportunities
for accumulating wealth in
creases.
This by way of reminding
you that however, “self-made,”
you may boast yourself, you
are in reality “community
made,” and you owe a debt to
your community. And the size
of that debt is in exact propor
tion to the amount of yourhold
ings in the community.
Now if you owe this debt—
and we do not think you will
dispute it—isn’t it up to you to
discharge it when called upon
to do so?
How many times has your
community called upon you in
vain when plans for its better
ment were being made?A road
was to be built for which
funds were not available. Did
you contribute? A school house
was to be repaired and the
grounds beautified. How much
did you help? Your church was
old and out of date, and the
membership wanted to rebuild.
Did you chip in?
In short, you are paying your
debt to the world and to your
community in the only logical
way—assisting tcrthe extent of
your ability to make it a better
community for your children
and your children’s children to
live in?
Now you will admit that you
owe to your parents a debt you
can never repay—to them. The
only way you can possibly pav
is to pass it on to another gen
eration. That is nature’s eter
nal plan.
Just so you can pass on to
the community of the future
what the community of the past
has done for you.

The Last Word in
Life Insurance
Is the Convertible Policy Issued by the
Equitable Life Ins. Co.t of New York
It is the most flexible, adaptable and adjustable
policy on the market.
Many a man, convinced that he needs insurance
postpones action because he does not know what kind
to select. But delays are disastrous, and this policy has
been framed in such a way that man may obtain his
insurance at once, and may then at leisure select the
kind that will best suit his case.
Why not place your insurance with the Company

■century and has assets of more than $550,000,000.00?
