COMMERCIAL CLUB IS TOWN BUILDER When a town is like a cow’s tail—growing downward—it needs a Commercial club. No town that aspires to DO THINGS can afford to be without a good, live Commercial club or some similar organization. The Commercial club is to the town what the aggressive advertise- ment is to the business man—it puts all of the telling points prominently before the prospective customer. A live club never sleeps. It is always alive to the possibility of add- ing another citizen and another enterprise to the community. And that what builds your town—the adding, one by one, of people and enterprises. Men who DO THINGS—Ilive wires—do not locate in a town unless there are inducements. That 1s one great work of your Commercial club—to CREATE in- ducements; to bring about conditions that will attract desirable enter- prises and desirable citizens. Manufaéturers, dealers, business men are constantly on the alert for LIVE towns in which to locate their enterprises. In the great majority of cases these enterprises are largely dependent on the co-operation and encouragement of the citizenship of the town and surrounding country for support. If that is given the town adds the pro- posed enterprise to its list. If it is withheld, the enterprise PASSES BY and goes to the town that DOES co-operate and support. But just getting together and organizing a Commercial club and then becoming absorbed in our own affairs is not going to turn the trick. No club can put a town on the map without the hearty co-operation of the citizenship of the town and countryside. Not only should every enterprising man be an active member, but each should consider himself personally pledged to uphold the organiza- tion in every way. Just a concrete illustration: A citizen of the town of S—— and one from the town of C are conversing with a chance traveling acquaintance. The traveler mentions that he is desirous of locating a site for a manufacturing plant. The man from S—— passes the remark by as of no concern to him, but the man from C— at once scents a prospective enterprise for his own town. He engages the prospect in conversation, gets his plans and a knowledge of his requirements, takes his address, and upon returning home PUTS THE MATTER UP TO HIS HOME CLUB. The prospect is communicated with and found to be worthy. Inducements are offered which he accepts, and soon C. numbers one more enterprise. But S—— had the same opportunity, only her representative was asleep. - T . This is not an imaginary case. It is happening every day, and all over the land. The business that is worth having is worth getting out and hustling for, and without hustling there is little or no business. Business is not conducted in graveyards—they are places of rest. The town that is “big enough,” whose citizens can see nothing more to be achieved, soon finds itself growing like a cow’s tail—DOWN HILL. The town that doesn't get out and hustle for new enterprises will soon find itself wondering what has become of those it had. Now just what are .we doing to put THIS TOWN on the map? Bet- ter still and more pertinent to the question, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? One man can’t do it—two men can't do it. Even ,the Commercial club can’t do it unless backed up and supported by solid community senti- ment that spells PROGRESS in box car letters. Our own actions will tell whether we are citizens of a town or inhab- itants of a graveyard. s Under the caption, “Worth Watching,” the Baudette Region saye editorially: The Bemidji Pioneer urges the people of the southern part of the county to keep an eye on our county division bill. Keep both eyes on it, fellows, it's worth watching. Right you are, brother. And the people of Bemidji and the southern part of the county would like to know whether they are expected to help pay for those costly ditches in the northern part of the county after the division, or whether the new county will take care of the payment for the ditches within its proposed boundaries. Whenever there is a possibility that a successful citizen of standing in a community, who possesses the status of a gentleman and sound busi- ness judgment will occupy a position which he would consider an honor and give good service to his home city and community, there is always a yelp from a corterie of poor misguided individuals who seem afraid that a little honesty, coupled with Godliness and fair play might enter into civic affairs and that the thing to do is to choke it. It certainly seems that way. And we also have another thing to be thankful for and that is that when we get an opportunity to disport our shape in Lake Bemidji we won't be afraid one of those pesky submarines will go poking into our an- atomy. You will note we say “shape.” " If it wasn’t for our Adam’s apple we wouldn’t have any—figure. The widow of Col. John Jacob Astor, he who went down in the Ti- tanic, has testified in court that $20,000 a year is not to pay the expenses of bringing up the Astor baby. Holy Mackerel! If it costs $20,000 a year to rear a mere baby, what would it cost to bring up a millionaire’s pet poodle? Ann addlepated man once made the statement that the biggest hit he ever made in his life was the one he made with his wife before their marriage. Now he’s hunting another one. steamboat blown it There are some “politicians” who remind us of the little that had such a big whistle that every time the whistle was stopped the boat. There are some ‘“politicians” who ought to have a receiver appointed for their mouth.
