20 THE LAKE SHORE NEWS- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1923 CAMPAIGN BOOSTS HOME MERCHANTS (Continued from P3ge 17) Stores Aid Community These men are your neighborsâ€"not outsidersâ€"so they know and can speak of its problems with authority. The editor of this newspaper has been chosen their spokesman, and during the coming weeks we will discuss the cause and the cure for what ails us. In another column appear the names of your "partners" who are speaking to you, in these articles. They are the business men of this community, who have confidence in its future; they must have, or they would not back their faith in this place with the investments that they have made, and pay heavy taxes on these investments besides spending large sums every year to maintain the establishments that stand before you and everybody else, here and beyond our limits, as monuments to their implicit confidence that we can and will make good! *. In every movement that has the public benefit for its aim they are the leaders. As has been pointed out their investment is here, so theirs is not a divided allegi- ance?" Everything they have is staked on the future of their community, and with their community they will rise or fall. Has Splendid Future . No community that we know of so much deserves this confidence as ours. This belief on the part of our business men is the cause for one of the biggest booster campaigns this place has known. The home merchants declare that nobody is going to push this community except the citizens themselves. To expect this help from outside is futile. What we have lacked in the past-is united leadership. We may have sus- pected what was needed, but we were not united on just how to go about to secure that need. The merchants are united for the common good. They are working for the interest of all who call this community "home." Cash is the motor that will make our neighborhoodâ€"iorge- to ~4heâ€"ireaUâ€"But not in the way you think. ^You are not asked to part with your money. Not the cash that comes out of your pocket, but the cash that stays there is what will build up this community. How is that? Buying from neighborhood merchants.

Hitler's Shoe Store successor to Troop 4 St. Augustine's Church Saturday night, September 15, at 7:15 o'clock, the order "Fall In" was given and Troop 4 officially started for the coming year. As Mr. Herrington was in town, he was present to give a little talk to the Scouts. The evening's activities comprised a series of games, prominent among which was "Spark Plug," a pastime fresh from the southland and introduced to the Scouts by Mr. Herrington. Some boys were divided into groups of owners and horses. The "hosses" were to run around the "race track" to win the champion- ship. It is needless to say that the "hosses" ran on all fours. Each horse had a name, many of the ownerjs Joeing a little hoarse after the race. It is a good game and stout ladies who wish to reduce are urged to try it. * Mr. Leach intends to form a council, which will conduct the business of the troop and examine candidates for the Tenderfoot and Second-Class Badges. This council will be composed of First Class Scouts. The Senior Patrol Leader will preside at the meetings. The election of troop officers will be held either this week or the following. Officers will be elected by popular vote, with Mr. Leach's approval. Troop 4 plans to -present the play "A Strenuous Afternoon," sometime within the next few months. Parts will be as- signed and rehearsals started within the next few weeks. . . . Oh Boy Taffy Apples! f Taffy Apples are Taffy Apples, but Johnnies" are better Get One Before.
