about your town is a habit which the

and they need it badly. * , . '
Tou just start out here some . bright
morning?yes, even on a bright morning
when every one ought to feel good,
and mention spmething about eyery
citizen, we don't care who he is, or how
pure he is, and you will be susprissd to
to know how many people have out
their little hammers and how with their
might they will be trying to use them.
Now, how much better it would b^
if we all had a good word to say of our
neighbors. What makes your town
but the people who live in it? When
you hit them, don't you know you are
striking your town, and when you .. Btrike
your town don't you know that
you are driving blows on your own
little head? Say something good or
