OUR. FLAG

When you see the Stars and Stripes
displayed, stand up and take off your
lat. Somebody may litter, bu. don't
YOU mind. When Old Glory comes
along, salute, and let them think what
they please. For Of all the signs and
symbols since the world began, there
is never another so full of meaning
as the flag of our country.
That piece of red, white ard blue
bunting means five thousand years Of
struggle upward. 1t is the full! blown
flower of ages of fighting for liberty
1t is the century plant of human hope
in bloom.
Our flag stands for no race 1t
stands for men, men of any blood
who will come and live under its pro-
lection. 1t is the only banner which
means mankind. 1t is not the flag of
our king-it is the flag of ourselves.
Other flags mean glorious past;
our flag means a glorious past ard
q s. ! more glorious future. 1t is the
flag of our fathers, and our children
yet unborn. 1t is the flag of tomor
row. 1t stands for the open door of
ambition and opportunity-of equal
rights to everyone beneath the shad-
ow of its folds.
Our flag waves defiance at all the
ghosts that have so long intimidated
men; the ghost of monarchy, the ghost
of aristocracy; the ghost of war, and
all their kind that still lay shadowy
hands upon the life of Europe and
Asia.
Listen. The band is playing "The
Star Spangled Banner" They have
let loose Old Glory yonder. Stand up.
Some people over there are smiling
at US. Stand up, bare your head and
lift your eyes and thank God that
YOU live under that flag which means
the redemption of the world.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Third Liberty
Loan, will be opened on the 9Th of
April, the anniversary of the declara-
tion of state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amount, terms and conditions
Of the loan are dependent upon further
legislation and will be announced as
soon as Congress has granted the nee
essary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9th of
April as the day to open the campaign
as the most fitting date to call for a
patriotic response to the summons to
duty to every American, to ask from
the people at home the same fervent
patriotism that actuates our gallant
sons on the battlefields of France and
on the waters of the Atlantic.

shark help build up his own commun-

any help from him in building up our

!y UP to the citizens of this community
to be loyal to "home' interests. The
man behind the mahogany desk in
sorle far away city doesn't care snap
whether this community pushes for
ward or backward. A dollar sent to
the mail order house is gone forever
as far as community progress is con
cerned. But the dollar spent right
here at home is a different PROPOSE
ton. There are mutual benefits to be
derived from patronizing home inter

which we live.

A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty Loan button is badge of
honor. Rightfully obtained it marks
the wearer as one who has performed
a distinct, definite service to the cou'
try.
Not all can fight, not all can work
directly for the Government; but in
buying Liberty Loan Bond, or War
Savings Stamps, every American rem
ders some service to the Nation. It
has been put within the reach and
power of every citizen to aid the Unit
ed States financially; it is poor
American who withholds support frosa

the Government, from our soldiers and
sailors fronting death on battlefields
and oceans.
Iron crosses to German soldiers, and
diamond orders exchanged between
Turkish and German sovereigns may
be but the honors of atrocity But a
Liberty Loan button, simple as it is,
signifies patriotic duty done ar1 is
an insignia of honor.

Dame rumor has it that quite a
number of new houses will be built in
Julesburg this spring and summer.
This is of most vital need to the fur
ther progress of our city, as at this
time it is almost impossible to find a
house that is not occupied, and new
comers here find it pretty hard sled
ding to find place to live. The
sooner the new houses are built, the
better.
