ONLY A FEW MINUTES

Only a few minutes each day: It is only a little to give, but great in possibilities for the future of this town. In a few minutes each day you can keep the rubbish out of your yard, and the fences in repair, and the shade trees trimmed, and the walks repaired in good condition. And when you return from your daily labors at night you will notice a clean and healthy atmosphere you will hardly know your own home. Then a few minutes each day and you will have many new conveniences in the kitchen, and the pantry, and in the basement. And your wife, who makes home attractive for you, will know that you are mindful of her welfare. A few minutes each day will transform a dirty, slovenly town into a spot of beauty, of sanity, and of sanitation. It will turn reproach into admiration, and adversity into prosperity. It will do all of this, and more. A few minutes each day is such a little thing to give, but the possibilities of its future are so pregnant with results as to be beyond compute in the infancy of its consummation. Every citizen of this town could give a few minutes each day to the upbuilding of the community, to the advancement of the material interests of the municipality. A Minute Club would be a good thing to form right here among ourselves. And if a few loyal citizens will take the lead all others will fall in line with a will to achieve every goal for which we strive.
