Get Oat of The Old RaU What's the use of spending our whole livee sleeping in the same old rut when there* bigger ones all around us. What's the use of being in a rut at all I We want more industries in this town, and new industries are never found in ruts. Ruts are too small for them. Let's crawl up out of our rut. There is nothing in the old rut for us, but there are opportunities in every direction if we care to reach out and grasp theon. It is up to us. We can stagnate in our rut, or we i can reach out and grasp something ?pull our selves out?do some thing?giet to the top. But we'll never do it as long as we rattle around in the same old rut with the dry bones of our ancestors for company. We need new indurtries, and there are manufacturers all over the country looking fur changes in locations. But they will never erect their plants in a rut. They are full of life, and they wants live atmosphere about them. Tbey want to locate in a com munity with advantages. We have them. They want to be surrounded by people of intelligence, who know how to use their brains. We have the intelligences, and our brains are capable of accom plishing vastly more than we have ever dreamed of in the past. This community is charged with intellectual1 and physical dynamite, but it ie in a rut and needs some one to blow it out. i Let's all get busy and blow. Let's pull some of those manu i facturers into this town on a tour ' of inspection, and then let's ifive them a fair opportunity to size up our uatural advatages and our in tellectual force. . I We won't get them all, but we will get some of them. Nobody ever swallows a loaf of bread at one gulp, : Many bites make up a square meal, and many efforts will bring, new industries into our midst, . with bigger pay rolls, and more money in circulation, and more houses to be filled*and mouths to be fed. It wil) contribute to the pros peiity of a community. We want prosi>erity here, but prosperity never goes out looking for a place to light. We must hook it on a fiy, and our hook must be well baited or the other fellow will have_ the strongest pull. Again we say, let's get out of our rut and do something. Let's make a careful and sys tempaigu for new industries, in creased population and greater prosperity. It's wailing for us, but it won't come to us. We must go out after it. Opportunity is everywhere, but it wonU crawl into our pockets uninvited. We"must reach out for it, grasp it. haul it in with a united com munity pull. Huw many of our citizens would like to see new factories come to this town! How many are willing to join whole hearted I.y in an effort to get tbemf Let's Stand up aud be counted.

This i* an old old story We've heard it oft before, # But let us be up and doing, And repeat it o'er and o'er. Yea, let us be un and doing Giving a smile for a frown. For this world is full of trouble. We'll sure have ups and downs. Some days we'er bowed in- sorrow We can scarcely bear the pain, But look for the sunshine tomor row As it always follows rain. Each cloud has a silver lining. And we'll find it if we wait. So what's the use of pining. It will come ere it be too late. So let us look for that lining, To come with dawn of day, For there's no use to worry. When the clouds have passed away. When you fedl, you alone have trouble ,, Just think bow many more Have sorrows more than double Of the ones vou're pining over. If our life was always happy, And no sorrows ever came. We would never know the pleasure Of sunshine after rain. Then let usnever worry But always cast a smile. For sometimes it looks like raining Yet the sunshines.after awhile. Then let us be up and doing. Something to pass gloom away, For this life it what we make it, So let us try to be gay. Then let us take life as we find it. No matter how sad or how gay," But still keep pushing onward, "Whistling our caree away." S. M. B. HELP WANTED. We will employ 25 good laborers. Apply to forman at our piaut.
