Show w .o.p. COOPERATION Cooperation in a krge way is what concentration is to the indiv'dual. It spells success. The "get togeth-er"spirit togeth-er"spirit in a community means the advancement of that community. It gives it prestidge. Its light doesn't shine under a bushel, it gleams afar, and apprises others of its identity. Cooperation has made every great business institution a prosperous one. From messenger to president, that definable spirit of loyalty to the house is more than oil to the machine. It makes it run easy. It achieves the objective. It delivers the goods. The busy bee theme has been used so often that the illustration is as a honeyless honeycomb; but is always al-ways apt when one speaks of cooperation co-operation Every . community is a hive, but every community is not one of cooperating busy bees. These little things of flimsy wing achieve their objective, because- they stick together, if I may use the figure. We admire them; because they keep busy, and we should praise them for their ceaseless cooperation. Let's cooperate. Let's be good friends with one another. Let's get together and boost, and then boost some more. Let's familiarize ourselves with the civic problems that every community must face, and then help to solve them. Let's suggest things for the common good. Let's lend a hand. yes. and two hands if necessary. If some man is doing good work for all of us, with an unselfish and neighborly neighbor-ly spirit, let's boost him and not re-t re-t fleet on his honor and pride. He needs us as we need him. God hates a knocker! Let our slogan be: One for all and all for one. |
