the anthem, retaining the position of

Every citizen of the United States,
whether civilian or a soldier, should
give expression of his loyalty and de-
votion to his country by showing
proper marks of respect for the col
ors and for the national anthem,
When in civilian clothes, wearing a
hat or cap, the correct thing to do Is
to remove 1t and hold 1t in the right

The common habit of rising SLOWLY,
standing in slouching attitude, and
sometimes even carrying on cOnversa-
ton, when the national anthem is
played, Is an indication Of gross ig-
norance or Ill breeding. On the other
hand, the man who stands silent and
at attention Is not only showing prop
err respect and setting an example
which will have its effect on Others
but is also cultivating in himself the
feelings Of pride and of PATRIOTISM

Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Maysvllle Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger

zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when 1t Is for

Remember also that there are GER
tain restrictions upon the relations of
officers and men which are a neces-
sary part of Army discipline. An Of
ficer, even though in private life he
may be your warm friend and asso-
ciate, is expected not to mingle with
you or other men in the ranks on
terms of familiarity. This is rule
that is often far from agreeable to the
officer; but he has no more power to
change it than you have. The reason
is clear. An officer can not miHgle
with the men under him on familiar
terms without becoming better &C.
quainted and more friendly with some
than with others. He Immediately lays
himself open to the suspicion Of ia
voritism--a suspicion which tends
strongly to undermine respect and au-
thority.
Argument has no place in the Army.
Even favorable comment on the con-
duct or orders of superior officers is

ficers and men alike Is to obey
promptly. However, intelligent sug-

to drain large amount of land in Home

would also reclaim considerable Of
land adjoining Sleepy Eye lake. The
engineers estimate showed that the cost
would be about 100000, and the
opposition was based on the cost.
