OUit FLAG.

Our flag stands for the government
and the love which each American
should have in their heart for the flag.
The cloth of which II is made practi-
cally means nothing TO us, IL Is what
il stands for and the message it con-
VeyS.
The American days colors are red,
and the six white stripes stand for the
thirteen original colonies. and the
white stars on the blue background
sand for the number OF States in the
Union at present. Putting the stars
an dstripes together they stand for
bravery, truth and union.
The nag was made by Miss Betsy
Ross RIOS oo Of rhiladsipnia; in l1ai when
battle at which Burgoyne surrendered
il gave hope and courage TO our men.
Always Il has been glorious sign TO
those suffering in battle; When the
Washington's command were suffering
with the cold nothing but Washing
tons courage and the flag could have
kept them together through that win
ter. In this way il is the light to
France and the allies.
In this present war our duties toward
our flag are not only TO respect II. but
to help in every way you can. You
ment YOU can do without candy to
save sugcr and take the money and buy
thrift stamns and W. s. =. You can
ncip fnP INtu NToSS ny RnlttluS
and contributing when asked accord
Ing to your means. We can also help
by conserving food and having gar
dens.
AS we each wish 10 say. II am an
American" we should also he willing
TO die. IL necessary, for America. as
each brave and true American does,
I hope.
To EXPRESS my feeling think we
should be glad and ready to die for
our country rs well as our faiths; for
hasn't our country protected us, fed
us and given us the right to live.
So my conclusion is be loyal to God,
to your flag and You native land.

LET'S NOT GET SCARED

While Gunnison will beyond ques-
tion have its spell with this strange
new disease Of Spanish influenza,
about the best preparation will be to
hold our heads and not get scared.
The disease 10 nearly like the Grippe,
little more likely to develop Into
pneumonia, bnt the after effects do not
linger 70 long. We have good physi-
clans and there 10 no reason to be
alarmed.
Do you recollect back in 1889 when
Russian LaGrippe was just as strange
and swept the country like fire. Rail-
road and street car lines were stopped,
factories closed and the schools let
out, bat . good deal Of it was sheer
fright. This Spanish Flu" is danger
ous no doubt, and every one should be
on the alert to remedy the first SYM
ptoms, but it is little worse than the
grippe from which thousands die ev-
cry year.

SCHOOL CHILDREN CAN HELP

President Wilson has written Sec

school will have regiment in the vol
unteer war-garden army the army
of school children that, it is hoped,
may raise this years produce, that
amounts to $50,O0O,000.
every boy and girl who really sees
what. the home garden may mean,
writes the president, twill, am sure,
enter into the purpose with high
spirits, because | am sure they would
all like to feel that they are in fact
fighting in France by joining the
home-garden army"
In his letter the president approves
the design of Secretary Lane to arouse
the school children of the United Sta
ties to "as real and patriotic an ef-
fort as the building of ships or the
firing of a cannon"

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO
HELP?

Duty is Americas new drill master.
There is no flare of trumpets, no
blast of whistles nor ringing words of
command to mark the presence; but
the orders are none the less insistent
because of that absence. For Duty's
voice has>reached the heart of every
patriot and the call "To Service" is
heard and needed.
Millions of Americans are showing
they have donned the uniform of SER
vice by preaching the patriotism of
service, generous, untiring and COM
Iplete. So many new and unexpected
things have happened in the last
twelve, months that many of us are
bit confused and attempted to think
in the old way that the country is so
big and rich it does not need our sup
port and can get along without US. In
preaching the message of duty and
service, we are doing the best posi-
BILE work toward dispelling that fall
lacy.
The country does need our help;
duty demands that we give it. And
the government has provided the
means for each of us giving our aid
Such a means is offered through the
medium of war savings and thrift
stamps. Each one of us can play g
worthwhile part by saving little
each week and investing in these
stamps, which pay an unusually high
interest rate and which can be redeem
ed at any time. So small sum as q
cents obtained by the thrift and econ
omies of a child, will purchase {
te'- Il = III -.s,,.l+ir,lrr into a,
duty to teach our children this anc
to encourage them to save and to in
vest in the stamps as much as it i,
our duty to set them the example.

EDITOR HUFFAKER'S PATRIOT.
ISM.

We admire Frank Huffaker's pa
triotism that causes him to give up
the editorship of the Tampa Times
to join the service, and Frank wants
real active service that will carry him
into the thickest Of the fray. But,
Frank, old boy, we believe you would
be of greater sevice to your country
to stay right where you are in consid-
Grafton Of the alien enemies in this
country, and your habit of handling
them without gloves. The Tampa
Times did its country great service
IN the fight made on the alien enemies
in Tampa, and while we know it's own
er, Mayor Mckay, was tooth and toe
nail in the fight, he had an able and
willing lieutenant in Frank Huffaker.
-Wauchula Advocate.
We surely will miss our old friend
Hutfaker. Such men as he are needed
rat home and in the field. Say, Huff,
can't you figure out some way to do
both?

-THE-WAR SPIRIT IN BUSI.
NESS LETTERS.

"See that win-the-war spirit gets
into your business letters" is the slo-
fd business Net 1 tRgae fe s everyd faE
business letter is most effective in
strument for creating confidence in the
governments war policies and for in
spring others with the determination
to see the war through at any cost.
"The idea was first brought forward
in connection with American business
letters to foreign countries" said Sec
rotary Redfeld. "The volume of our
foreign business mail is very large.
1t reaches firms in all but the enemy
countries. For the most part it is
read by those who are for US. but YOU
may be sure that it reaches many who
are at heart against US. l am sure
that every foreign business man who
opens an American letter is quick to
detect even the slightest indication of
the writer's feelings on the conduct of
the war and its outcome.
SIT is of the utmost importance,
therefore, that the American business
letter breathe confidence in every line.
Ii the manufacturer or exporter feels
that he has just grievance against
restrictions imposed on his trade, by
all means let him go right to head
quarters and register as emphatic
complaint as he feels is justified. But
he certainly should not carry the mat
ter into his business letters. 1t is sure
to create an entirely erroneous i'm
in some minds.
Let the American business man
make known to the whole world that
>o11na.s md that he is go
