We who have been heard to boast
that our little town is loyal and one
hundred per cent patriotic are sorry to
admit that we have another one in our
midst: who is very much disloyal. and
unpatriotic. When we think of all our
young men, sons, brothers, husband and
friends, who have answered their coun-
try's call so cheerfully, being slandered
by such as he, the many threats afoat
seem justified, but second thought as
sures US Uncle Sam will attend to him
in his own good time. It is to be hoped
since it is so disagreeable to live in
this country and have to buy Liberty
Bonds, pay higher taxes and conserve
in order to win the war this making 1t
a country safe for humanity, that he
and others Of his kind will be given
their passports and allowed to leave.
