The News comments the following from the Rogers Daily Post to every reader of this paper, and hopes they will act on the suggestion made: If you hear disloyal remarks made by anyone, it is your sacred duty as an American citizen and one who values inc lives of our soldiers as well as the future of country, it's homes and peo- pie, to report said disloyal utterances to the secret service. Do your part m making the country so hot for any one So degraded as to be dis-loyal that they will be compelled to forever shut up or get off the earth.

BILL RUNS
AMUCK!
By Judd Lewis in Houston Post

Bill Beezer got a can of paint ant
said in language queer and quaint, "By
jing, before l put this down I'd like tt
paint the hull derned town! I jus
amt got no better sense than to spread
paint on every fence, If I could do 1t
and by gum, l guess that would be 60
ing some! And l would paint thu
house white, and all the chimneys red
I'd write my name on this here dingy
town today before the sur went down,
and make the hull place look brand
new, If l could that is what I'd do
Just n good brush, and some good
paint, makes a place look what 1t
amt; 1t covers up the bad spots ard
improves a place to beat the band! I"
Bill Beezer said in language quaint,
then he got busy with his paint; he
painted fences front and back, he
painted up the servants shack, he
painted up the wash house, too, gave
the woodshed a coating new, daubed
paint upon the chicken coop, each
place a man could climb or stoop Bill
climbed and stopped, and spread a
coat Of paint that got his neighbor's
goat. And sc his neighbor got a can
and painted his shack like a man, and
then his next-door neighbor got some
paint and got to work, and what Bill
Beezer started spread so fast, and
spread SO far, that at the last the
whole derned town which had looked
NEAR was painted and looked fresh
and clean. And when Bill put his
bucket down he had put paint on the
whole town. He had done wonders
with his can. I hope you're q Bill

THE VALUE OF PAINT

Paint, as has often been said, serves
more than the mere purpose Of deco
ration. Its principal value lies in the
fact that it prolongs the life Of the
surfaces painted. Wood and iron, on
exposure to the air, undergo a slow
process Of oxidation which just as
surely destroys them as though they
were set on fire, the difference being
the speed at which the reactions occur.
We take out insurance to cover loss
by fire and should just as surely put
on paint to cover loss by decay. 1t
takes very little calculation to discover
the apparently astounding fact that
the loss through lack Of painting 10
greater than the loss by fire. When
the property owner comes to a full
realization Of the true reason for paint
ing there will be no need for public.
spirited people to back up a national
campaign for such purposes.

THE DEAD ONE

The bane Of any community Is the
citizen who lacks even a semblance
Of interest In the community welfare,
And, strange as 1t may seem In a
democracy, absence Of this interest
seems to be pretty generally prevalent
in the average American community
today.
The cleanup and paint-up'' CAM
paign Is a most potent combatant of
slothful c%itizenry. First, the campaign
arouses the desire In men, women and
children for homes and home town
beautiful, sanitary and safe. Second,
1t impresscs on all the. fact that clean
illness, thrift and civic pride are the
essentials by which they may satisfy
that desire. Third, the campaign gives
all something worth while and definite
to do with their hands and feet and
heads for the community good. And
fourth. the campaigns educational In
fluence and continuous activity helps
steadily the year around, and year
after year in eliminating many Objec-
tionable conditions caused formerly by
thoughtlessness and carelessness.

WHY LIVE IN
DIRTY TOWN?
I have in mind two towns.

y ~ AAAA -" tVV A0s ..-#m.-
: Entering one, the railroad runs be.
tween two rows of dirty back yards
filed with tin can and rubbish.
Entering the other, 1t passes houses
neatly painted, back yards with flowers
In them, and streets swept clean.
These two towns had the same pop.
ulation five years ago.
But recently two new factories
have moved to one of them; real es.
tate values have advanced new houses
are being built; everybody is pros
/, porous and happy.
And the residents Of the other town
cannot understand their dad luck.n
This year 5000 cities and towns in
the United States will set aside one
week as a cleanup and paint-up week.
The greatest miracles Of modern
times have been performed with bon
fires, drain-pipes, soap, and paint.
The Philippines have been made a
healthier place to live in than the
average American town.
Typhoid has been stamped out Of
Serbia.
The Panama canal zone has been
transformed from a dismal, unhealthy
swamp to q wholesome. place for
homes.
The French, with a force of ITO, 1000,
lost $4,000 lives in their effort to build
the canal; our deaths were 1000 out
Of an average force Of $4,000.
Our record there was nothing short
of miraculous-and a cleanup cam
paign did it.
Last year Cleveland, in its Cleanup
and Paint-Up week, disposed of refuse
sufficient to fill a train three and one
half miles long.
Another middle western town gath
cred its boys together, and, by offering
a reward for each 100 tin cans, abol-
ished its unsightly back yards in a
single day.
"Help us Clean Up Philadelphia"
was the slogan that banished the dirt |
In that city.
"Don't let your good cigar start a
bad fire." was n Of Rochester's bat
tie cries.
A Cleanup and Paint-Up week
means less sickness, fewer fires, bet
ter children, and higher property
There was ono an old Roman named
.rassus. He trained a band of slaves
to be f1remen, masons, and painters.
Then he made it his business to buy
houses on fire, and put the fire out.
Also he bought houses that needed
and painted them.
And his houses increased so much
n value that he became the richest
nan in Rome.
"There is no better test of the civ
lization Of a community than this
low much paint does it use?"
A wise man said that.
1t is not given to you to found a
or make a great invention or
discover q new continent.
But you can make your town a
better place to live in.
And by so doing you give a little
,ush to the Chariot Of Civilization.
You become, in a small but impor-
ant way, a co-worker with Prometheus
md Socrates and Plato and Franklin
nd Watt and Edison and even Provi-
itself.-Bruce Barton, In "Ev-
ry Week."
