KEEPING COUNTRY TOWN
YOUNG PEOPLE AT HOME
The old time country boy
looked at country life as a
good deal of a prison house.
He felt ttied down to a nar
row grind and he saw no way
of escaping from his rut ex
cept to make a wild dash for
freedom and the big world
outside. The progressive
country town is keeping more
of these young folks by open
ing the door of hope to them j
right at home. | j
The country town needs or- i
ganization along two lines: i
First social and civic. Ev-ji
ery country town needs a com-It
munity building, where all *
kinds of public events can be T
carried on, and which shall be \
a center for social and athlet- t
ic life. This does not neces
sary mean a new building, (
though any town that puts up *
such an edifice, designed and
adapted for use as a country
!
s
town center, puts its best foot
forward. What is essential is
that there shall be a community |
meeting place and center of;i;
activity, which shall draw y
people togather and get them 1 ij1
for public causes.
Second, industrial. The
farmers and business men
must organize so that the pro- |
ducts shall be marketed at the t
best possible price, so that
agriculture and other enter
prises shall be adequately Sj
fiananced, and so that some
constructive plan for com
munity improvement shall be
carried on. ||
Our people here in Newark |
have shown a splendid spirit J
along these lines, yet there is |
much to be done to open this J
door. As the young people see
more and njore that their com- j
munity is a center of rural j
progress, more of them will j
take advantage of home op- j
portunities. ;

! almost every day. Suits to fit everyone

conservatives for the older man.

DaRKNESS is their stock in trade.
They work by stealth—unheard and unseen—
their movements cloaked in secrecy. It’s hon
est folks that seek the light. They are the
only ones who can risk it.
It’s the same way in business. The mer
chant who is not sure of his goods does not
dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten
the end of his business career—put him to a
test he could not meet.
The merchant who advertises, deliberately
invites your inspection. He tells you about his
product and then lets it stand on its own
merits. YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM. HE
KNOWS HIS PRODUCT IS GOOD.
That’s one reason why it pays you to read
the advertisements. It is through advertising
that you are able to keep in touch with the
good things that progressive business men are
handling for your benefit and convenience.
Advertisements throw a powerful light
on the very things that concern you most.
