Progressiveness does not mean to do something different
every day, but to use continual effort toward improving busi-
ness. People who seem happiest when engaged in warrying
are great city-killers. Good city-boosting plus constructive
work is a conservative investment. When you feel you have
gone the limit of your endurance in boosting your city, start all
over again. It will be easier next time.

A useful citizen means more to a community than its high-
-est building or its tallest smokestack. Look about you in Cen-
ter and select those who you believe to be our really worth-
while citizens, then substract them from the local atmosphere,
remove them from your dreams of the future and where do
you find Center?
If we lose a building, we can replace it. Let’s value our
good citizens more highly and try to help them with their work
in behalf of our community by sharing some of the load.

The morning mail brought a clipping from a reader on the
subject of “goldfish.'’ Frankly, we think the theme is “all
wet” but if it will do our friend good to air out the editorial
mind and find out what brilliant axioms linger in the dark re-
cesses, then here goes.
First of all, we think goldfish are too much of a useless
luxury. A canary reciprocates by singing, a cat repays its mas-
ter by catching mice and purring when one is lonesome, a dog
guards the home from the intruder and plays and frolics with
the children—but a goldfish!
,! Some say that the goldfish is beautiful. Maybe it is but
it isn’t half so beautiful as a rose and it is a sight more trouble-
some. Still, on the other hand, if you look at it from the gold-
fish’ point of view—-why—darn it! Whoever heard of an edi-
torial on goldfish before? Roll your own hoop!

WORTH MORE THAN A BUILDING
It might well be said that the eyes of Shelby county are on
the 1930 Fair which is not so very far off if the days continue
to slip by as they have in the past. Almost everyone goes to
the fair for a good time as well as for the constructive side of
the occasion and for that reason we believe that the outcome
of yesterday’s meeting will be interesting to old and young
alike. ............'
The Committee on Features, a most pleasing title, don’t
you think?, met yesterday afternoon with Dr. W. C. Windham
presiding as chairman. And the biggest feature of the meet-
ing was the selection of the lucky couple that is to be married;
at the fair and receive the many prizes offered by merchants
and concessionaires.
A football game, a historic pageant of gigantic propor-
tions with at least ten schools of the county participating, a
night especially set aside for the American Legion, an old fid-
dler’s contest, a great speech from a famous Texan, a turtle
race and—well, to tell you anymore right now would mean
spoiling the fun you’ll have when you get the surprise of your
life at the 1930 Fair.
This Feature Committee has some sparkling ideas about
how fair customers ought to be’ entertained and the greatest!
feature unearthed so far is the fact that all the events named j
above, including the football game, are absolutely free to fair
patrons.
Fun and amusement are not the only objectives of the
Shelby County Fair though and you may rest assured that other
committees are working hard on their projects to assure you of
the greatest agricultural and livestock exhibits in the history
of this premier event of the year.
