I'd like TO be the sort of mar the flag
could boast about,
I'd like to be the sort of man il
could not live without;
Id like to be the type Of mar
That really is American;
Tie head erect and shoulders aquare
Clean minded fellow, just and fair,
That al men picture when they see
The glorious banner of the free,
ia like 10 be the sort of man the flag
now typifies
The kind Of man we really want the
flag to symbolic,
The loyal brother of a trust,
The big unselfish soul and trust
The friend Of every man oppressed,
The strong support Of all that's best,
The sturdy chap the bankers meant
Where,er it flies to represent.
I'd like to be the sort Of man the
flags supposed to mean
The man that all in fancy see when
ever it is seen,
The chap that's ready for a fight,
Whenever there's wrong to right,
The friends in every time Of need
The door Of every time Of deed,
The clean and generous handed man
That is . real American.

by Mr.. Speaker Crabtree and the 9TH

loop district in which a dummy man
was used made a record of 99.4 per cent.
The Chicago ordinance requiring truck
tenders of this kind goes into effect on
January 1st and 1t is considered not
improbable that the time is not for dis
tant when all automobiles as well as
trucks will be under the necessity OF
providing equipment OF similar tenders.
