The range of the elk extends over

known as the moose. since the name
of elk is reserved Tor the mapiti, the

which makes every American heart
swell With pride for his flag and his
country.
Patriotism may be shown also in
other ways. II citizen who is cap
able and desirable is asked to take a
public office, it is his duty as a loyal
citizen to accept and do all in his
power TO help his country. A man
should not refuse because he consic-
ers the salary insufficient. 1t is his
duty to accept, unless his time is fully
occupied.
Again. citizens patriotism is
shown when called upon to act as a
part OF a jury 1t is his duty TO ac-
cept. If all the best men of the
town refuse, then dozen of less in
telligent men have to be chosen and,
therefore. justice is not insured.
Patriotism is also shown in paying
taxes. Some people lie 10 the as
SCISSOR about the amount OF property
they own so as to lessen the amount
OF taxes they have to pay. This is
not loyalty to the country. 1t is every
persons duty to pay his full share of
the money which goes to pay for the
running of the government.
Thus we see that there are many
ways in which patriotism may be
shown in time of peace: and every
pupil is showing his patriotism when
he stands before Old Glory and sa,
