The America First"

The America First" slogan is
sweeping over the country like wild
fire. It's a sentiment that every pa
triot welcomes. Americans, regard
less of former old country affilia-
tions, are for America First" and
now is a mighty good time to say so.
It's all right to sympathize with ia
therland across the sea, but when it
comes to loyalty to America every
freeman should lift his hat to Old
Glory.

January 6, 1916.

A mere introduction may make ac-
quaintance, but it takes time to make
friends. Once friend is made, hold
on to that friend. Do not let a tri-
fe break up a friendship; do not let
serious blunder, neglect, or fault
break up friendship. Make a firm
and dependable friend by being firm
and dependable yourself. To cast
away friendship of years standing
on mere hearsay or a supposition
would be to prove yourself elfish,
suspicious and unworthy of true
friendship. Hold on to your friends
love, help, and stand by them to
the end. In their weakest deeds and
greatest mistakes they have their
greatest need of strong, unfaltering
friendship. Throw away your mon
ey sooner than throw away your
friends.
