KEEP THE FLAG CLEAN

Nearly every issue of the
Metropolitan newspapers, con-
tains a story of how some dis
loyal citizen in some part of the
land is compelled to kiss the
Flag" The motive which
prompts patriotic citizens to
make an example of a traitor is
commendable, but the spirit of
such acts is all wrong. A trait
or will be traitor whether he
is forced to kiss the flag or MOI
He is an enemy to his country,
and a menace to his community.
He should be locked up, or back
ed up against the wall to face a
firing squad. The United States
right now is in about as much
danger from traitors within it's
borders as it is from barbar-
ians abroad. The stars and
stripes should be kept clean and
nnsullied and should never be
permitted to touch the lips of
any traitor. It's pure and spot
less surface should always be
kept clean. and free from the
communicating influence of those
who are unworthy of it's pro-
lection. To even permit a
traitor to touch the flag, is an
insult to the memory of those
brave men who in years gone
by died that the stars and
stripes might float over united
nation; and an insult to the
brave boys of today who are
giving their life blood on for
eign battlefields, that Old Glory
may continue to float over a
free and liberty loving republic.
Keep the flag clean.

eff l only knew, said one
lady who was making Johnny
Cake take the place of good
white bread and biscuits" that
every one else was depriving
themselves of the things they
like as | am, | would be better
satisfied" That is just the
trouble, every one is not doing
it. While a part of the people
are eating Johnny cake and saw
ing all the wheat flour for those
who need it at the front, others
are planning to see how many
sacks Of flour they can get
ahead. That seems to be human
nature, and until some means
can be provided to make the
sacrifice compulsory, and fall
equally on all families, the
same practice will go on. Every
person thinks they are loyal and
patriotic, but in many instances
appetite and greed is stronger
than a patriotic appeal. The
time is coming however, when
every bit of white flour in the
land will be needed for the
soldiers at the front. Then the
sacrifice will be universal and
compulsory.
