     COMMON BENEFIT
   We have heard long ago from
the lips of one of our best teach-
ers the statement that approval
of the other man's success is a 
very essential thing to one's own
happiness.  No doubt most of us
have opportunity to fulfill, this
truth but few find it easy to ac-
complish.  Envy is very strong
an easily claims the upper hand
in our thoughts and even actions.
We find it difficult to congratu-
late our neighbor and competitor
in his success, and yet this is
just what we have to do in order
to make ourselves happy and
even prosperous.
   There is an infallible law of
universe which we cannot evae
without serious danger to our-
selves.  It is the law that makes
us all common sharers of good
or of ill.  No on can succed but
we benfit from it and no one can
fail but we also feel its degrading
influence.
   We believe therefore, speaking
in a commercial sense, that the 
co-operative spirit of the busi-
ness men of this town last week,
when they united to offer to the
people of this community special
sales, was of very far reaching
consequence.  Some gained much,
others little.  But it was all to-
gether a wonderful success from
the standpoint of community
spirit and good will.
