When a spoke in a wheel is broken that wheel is weakened and only of partial or slight value to the rest of the vehicle. The vehicle itself is of no greater value than its weakest spot, the broken wheel. Its useful- ness will not be restored until the wheel is repaired and placed on a par with the other wheels. Then it is again ready to assume its proper functions in the scheme of life. And as it is with the wheel and the wagon, so it is with the citizen and the community. The latter is only as strong as the loyalty of the former. The community will advance only in accordance with the loyalty and progressiveness of its people. The man who forgets his home merchants and sends his money to outside sources is the broken wheel of his own community. He is the weak spot that retards the growth of all, that produces commercial stag- nation, that creates local hard times and reduces the community that shel- ters him and the people who feed him to the level of a hand to mouth existence. We don’t want any broken wheels in this community; we don’t want any useless vehicles, or commercial disintegration, or hand to mouth ex- istence; we don’t want any poverty or distress. But we do want prosperity, and progressiveness, and happiness and contentment, and full larders and dinner pails, and we can have them if each one of us will do our duty to the city in which we live, and trade with home people, and keep our own money in our own com- munity. We want to “keep prosperity in this city,” and we can only do it by “trading where we live.” DO DREAMS COME TRUE? An editor in Southern Minnesota had a wonderful dream the other night. At least, he writes of it as wonderful. But now he is wonder- ing if it will come true. He hopes it will. In his dream he was reading over his correspondence of the day, and uppermost on the pile of letters was one reading like this: “Dear Mr. Editor—I cannot let this' Christmas go by without send- ing you that dollar I owe you on sub- scription to your paper. Not only that, but I am enclosing another dol- lar for.a year in' advance. Iam mak- ing several little presents to friends this Christmas, but none of them gives me as much genuine pleasure as does the sending of this subserip- tion money to you. I hope every other person who owes you a penny will do the same, and if they do we all will be joining in the making of this a Merry Christmas for you and yours.” Thinking that his family would be assured of at least a chicken for their Christmas dinner, the editor thankfully pocketed the two dollar bill and went on with his weary work. But his spirits soon rose, for there were many other such letters, and many bills, and expressions of Christ- mas cheer from his subscribers. And then the ,office door opened and Farmer Jones came in with a bright ‘smile on his face 'and a new dollar bill in his hand, 'and it, too, found its way to the editor’s pocket. The idea of a chicken was dis- carded and visions of a real turkey loomed large in the editorial mind. And still the letters came, and the good people streamed into the office, and ‘each one meant more subscrip- tion money for the editor and Christ- mas cheer for his family. It was a long and pleasant dream, and lasted clear up to the ‘day be- fore Christmas, and when the last caller left the books showed that every subscriber had paid what he owed and many of them had paid for a year-or two'in advance; and each one had given some word of appre- ciation and cheer to-the editor and: his faniily. It was only a dream; after all; but now the editor is wondering if pleas ant dreams ever do come true! The Associated Charities will give a Charity Ball tonight at the city hall. The least any citizen can do is to buy a ticket to help the good work along. The proceeds of the dance will go to aid the Charities in its excellent work. Having seen some women howl, a Twin City paper hastens to remark that the preparedness campaign should not contemplate the organiza- tions of companies of women bomb hurlers. Tomorrow the San Francisco Pan- ama exposition will close and thou- sands will be turned out of their jobs. The St. Paul Dispatch asks, why not turn the buildings into munition fac- tories and retain all employes. NEW SOCIAL CENTER LAW. School Grounds and Buildings to Be Used by Community In Ohio. Ohio’s new social center law permits the use of “all school grounds and buildings as well as all other bulldings under the supervision and control of the state or buildings maintained by taxation under the law of Ohio * * * for the education and entertainment of the people, including the adult and youthful population, and for the discus- sion of all topics tending to the devel- opment of personal character and of civic welfare.” Application for such use may be made by any responsible organization or by a group of seven or more citizens. Boards of education are authorized to employ leaders to conduct the centers and to give lectures and instruction and to provide for the expenses by a special tax of not more than two-tenths of a mill. The city of Columbus will not only share in the new law, but has made special provision for a social center in a three story brick building in Schiller park, which provides the three things that south siders have insisted upon— an auditorium for political and neigh- borhood meetings, a kitchen for pic- nickers and a big gymnasium with complete equipment. Similar facilities for the west side are being provided in Glenwood park, the north side is to have a thorough remodeling of the shelter house in Goodale park, and at Franklin park the east side has a new building partially adapted to social cen- ter use. Columbus has also recently estab- lished a children’s playhouse in the auditorium of the chamber of com merce. This is similar to the children’s theater in San Francisco and to others in various settlement houses in the east.—Survey.

RENT Good Service Reasonable Commission ADVANTAGE OF CHEAP LAND.: The first condition to secure wide distribution of population:. is to.-have land near the city cheap and unhampered by spec- ulative ‘interests. This condition is requisite to enable the: worker: to get advantages in the sub- urbs which: will' compensatg him for two disadvantages in'mov- ing out from the central dis- tricts—viz, first, sufficient sav- ing in rent and taxes to pay.for his extra cost of traveling and, second, sufficient attractiveness in his environment to compen- sate for his daily journey te and fro and his loss-of social attrac- tions. The development of the transportation also requires that the public and not the private land speculator will get the ad- vantage of these facilities in re- gard to cheap and attractive land,—American Oity, Cleanup With Boy' Scouts. The Washington (Pa.) board of trade has recently conducted a sanitary sur- vey, ascertaining sanitary conditions throughout the city through the agency of the boy scouts’ organization. Each city ward was assigned to a captain, who divided the ward into sections, placing a squad leader in charge. Cir- cus tickels were given to the boys in each squad who returned the most com- plete and accurate reports. A civie service medal was given to the ‘ward captain who conducted-the most sys- tematic survey in his ward. The total cost of the survey to the board of trade was $10. Charles M. Ketchum, secretary of the were Inestimable, considerable public- ity being given to the survey prior to the day of inspection, which had a most wholesome effect in encouraging a general -cleanup. Insanitary snd unhbealthy conditions were reported to the board of health, and the fear which many had of being reported resulted in the general public’s co-operation in cleaning up back yards, alleys, streets and vacant property.

Jerk-the cork! Are you a-home town booster? Or is it the other fellow? Jantary 1 is noted for two things. It ushers'in a ‘new year and a grist of bills.
