Community Loyalty

Have you ever stopped to con-
slider the fact that loyalty to
community interests is the high
est type of patriotism? Show us
the man who is loyal and true to
every interest of his community
and we will show you in that same
individual a man in whom his
country can repose absolute con-
tidence in any emergency that
calls for his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man
who is careless and unconcerned
for the interests of his commun-
ity is more than apt to display
the same spirit of indifference
toward his government or his
state should any serious danger
threaten either.
One of the most commendable
traits of the old Scotch highland
ers was their loyalty to their own
clan. Good or bad, right or
wrong, the clan had their first
allegiance, The life and service
of each member was always cheer
fully placed at the disposal of the
clan.
Try to imagine an entire state
composed of innumerable COM
munities welded and cemented
into a symmetrical whole, each
striving to excel the others, but
each, from its own local loyalty,
developing a broader and deeper
loyalty that reaches out and EN-
braces the whole.
Utopia, you say? By no means.
Merely what could and would be
the result if we could only be
brought to see that we owe allie
glance to our own people, but
that the prosperity of others is
in no wise a detriment to US, but
rather a help; that if each com.
munity would develope itself t.
the utmost physically, mentally
and morally-none would need be
envious of others, neither would
any need do aught to detraci
from another's interests.
Let us develope communit.
loyalty to the full-the highest
possible form of patriotism.

Stranger Than Fiction

Just why is it that some peo-
pie are always opposed to the in
dustrial development of this town
and community?
Why is it that they use their
influence 90 throttle every scheme
that promises for the u~pbuilding
and commercial advancement of
the community?
What have they to gain person
ally through such a course?
True, they would pay a few
cents additional taxes, while their
property would increase as many
dollars in valuation.
One live citizen who has given
the subject considerable thought
suggests that people who oppose
local commercial advancement
have a selfish motive at heart.
He thinks they fear a loss of per-
sonal prestige through the bring
ing into our midst of new blood
and new Industrial enterprises.
he DelleVeS the reacJlOnlStS can
see a possible waning Of their
power through the Introduction
of new and up-to-date methods,
and that rather than retire to the
rear they seek to muzzle the
growth of the community.
This may or may not be true,
but the fact remains that some
hidden influence is constantly
seeking to retard the commercial
and industrial expansion of this
town and this community, and it
is the duty of every wide awake
citizen to seek d solution to the
mystery and put an end to it.
This town should advance with
the rest of the state and nation,
and to do so we must have the
loyal cooperation of all citizens.
The hustling dog always has a
full stomach, while the lazy and
Indifferent one eats when he has
an opportunity. =

Squeezing Our Lemons

Luke Cornt1ake of Cucumber
Valley was in Pumpkin Hill Mon
day taking orders for lemon
squeezers. jim Dandy and Flip
Gumdrop, who in the past have
been squeezing all the Pumpkin
Hill lemons on our sofas and at
the church picnics, are worried.
They say that after all the we'd
dings that are booked to come
off this season are over, there
won't be enough lemons left in
Pumpkin Hill to make the squeez-
ing interesting, not saying any
thing about the competition that
Luke is bringing in here from
Cucumber Valley. Both have
promised to bend Luke's nose

catch him taking orders for lem
on squeezers in Pumpkin Hill.

The convicted nan says his convic-
