WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN CT
TEEN MEANS TO kIE.

Being an American citizen means
more to me than I scan adequately
tell, but | thark God that | am al
n1erican-thank him for that great
gift.
| am an American citizen. To me
this means that | belong to the great
est nation that has, from its birth
been the champion Ct democracy. A
country of the people, for the people,
by the people" It means that I am
one of these people. I have the pri-
vilege OF helping this-my country
to defend the liberty and democra-
cy Of which it was born, and to crush
autocracy.
It means that lpon my country, up
on her people depend the safety of
the world. What a glorious cause she
is championing; what a privilege
what an honor that [ may do even a
small part to help my country.
When the war is over; when demo
cracy triumphs and German kultur
is destroyed, the rebuilding Of the
world will depend upon the American
citizens. I am an American citizen.
My country will be whole, may help
those unfortunate countries across
the sea which shall be torn and bleed
ing. | may help my fellow citizens
to teach these people democracy.
Teach them how to use their liberty
which they shall have won; which
many Of them shall have died for.
| am an American citizen, my fore
fathers fought for liberty and won.
We have had liberty and democracy;
these two are overspreading the
world. AS their originators we are
their champions. We still shall have
liberty and democracy, the other
countries shall also. And the United
States originated them-the only
powers that shall dominate the world,
the powers of justice and right for
all men. | am SO proud that / am an
American citizen, so proud of my
country!
I shall know that my country's
name shall not have been stained by
record of dishonorable warfare
Being an American citizen means
to me that | belong to the strongest
and cleanest country in the world
and that | can always be proud of it.
1t means that /, too, must be strong
and clean, so my country will not be
ashamed of me. | consider being an
American citizen the greatest gift
that can be bestowed upon any ,ne.
And | thank God that am an Ameri-

FENTON GIRL WRITES FROM La
BELLE FRANCE.
Miss Helena Maufray, Well-Known
In County, Member OF Base
Hospital Overseas.

Miss Helena Mauffray, cousin Of
Nessrs. Jos. O. Mauffray and A. A,
kergosien, of this city, has written to
relatives and friends and her letters
are of most interesting nature.
Miss Mauffray is a member Of Base
Hospital Unit No. %, in France, and
write that she is proud 10 be serving
the United States, in an old factory
used for a hospital, which place can
accommodate 1000 patients. She
states that France is beautiful coun-
try, with all available soil under
cultivation and the forest trees are
trimmed and cared fer, though there
is but little forest.
The city in which she is station
ed, while it numbers 100000 inha11 i
tants, is very antique; the people are
proud of Les Americain," are indus
trious, but lack great deal in hy-
giene and sanitation.
Miss Maufray says that while she
is voluntarily doing her duty for the
United States, that France is seconda-
ry and that as soon as she is relieved
she will make bee-line for Hancock
county, regardless of the desire to
locate relatives Overthere.

WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN CT.
THEN MEANS TO ME.

Are you an American citizen? If
| not, why not? Can you give a def
mite explanation of what an Ameri-
can citizen is?
| am proud to say, | was born in
America; raised in America; educat-
ed in America, and have the Ameri-
| can spirit. Now, | VIII cndeavor TO
explain to my readers" what being an
American Citizen means to me-"
To be an American citizen YOU
must have the unconqucrable AM
erlcan spirit. Every one thirk kows
that it is up to the United States of
America to jump in and and help our
allies IN this terrible struggle that is
going on at this very minute across
the wide ocean. AS Persching said
1--WE can win this war, we must win
this war, and we will win this war;"
and we must do this if we are to
maintain our liberty and freedom.
Is there any one who will not give
his or her individual attention and
support toward making the United
States the greatest of all nations? 4?
If there is, he will not be here long.
He IS no other, and no other term
can be applied to him but German
sympathizer," or Stacker"
To be an American citizen YOU
must deprive yourself of all pleasure,
that IS not all pleasure, but the pleas
ure that is unnecessary. You must
obey all the laws and regulations
that our food administrator issues
our boys must be properly fed and
clothed if they are to accomplish any
thing; you must subscribe to all Lii
berty loans; you must economic in
every way. To summarize the above.
you must be an American"
1t means everything to be an
American citizen. Some people COM
plain that they are too poor to help; ;
It takes great deal more to win
war, especially the greatest war of
all wars, than money. The poor.
with noble American spirit, can do
twice as much as the rich with all of
their dollars.
The United States is a free, inde-
pendent country. Germany is a bar
barous, half-civilized country. and 7
am willing to bet that not one-tenth
OF the entire population of Germany
knows what the word independence
means.
| Would you rather see Stars and
Stripes floating over the Land of the
free and home of the brave" or
would you rather see the black blood.
stained flag of Germany floating over
not America any more, but a CONQUER
ed, blood-soaked land once inhabitat.

It is an editorial important tC
every member Of Congress, and to
one hundred millions Of American CT
tizens, who, whether they know it OF
not, would see their country go rapid
" to the devil if there were no small
country newspapers TO watch the To-
cal rascals in and out of corporations
and keep track Of their doings.
The country newspapers, and more
especially the smaller dailies, and
thousands of weeklies, are national
policemen, watching and protecting
the public welfare.
Their influence is, to put 1t mildly
one hundred times greater than the
influence of all the so-called great
metropolitan daily newspapers com
bined.
The man who reads the country
weekly or small daily is the farmer
the dweller in the small town or vii
| lage, reading and THINKING as he
reads.
He reads far away from the noise
he reads because he is interested IN
the country in which he lives and
for which he works.
The people that read small news
papers, living on the farms, are the
people that form public opinion IL
the United States, decide national
elections and the course of history
not the people that crowd the apart
ment houses and the big moving pic
ture theatres and the baseball parks
of the big cities.
The editor of the small town O.
| country newspaper is literally the na-
| tional policeman.
| If it were published in al the
newspapers that twelve hundred po-
liceman had been silently and quiet.
| " put to death by one Commercial
organization, somebody would show
signs of interest
But when you read the above state
ment concerning the killing oil twelve
hundred editors, you read something
that doesn't interest The government
in the least.
It would, as Mr.. Bodine, of Missou-
ri, points out, interest the govern
ment earnestly if it knew the mean
ing of these twelve hundred small
newspaper funerals.
The Washington Times calls
these extracts from Mr.. Bodine's edj-
torial to the attention of those con-
cerned, from the President Of the
United States, who knows the impor-
tance of the local editor, because he
has read history and knows the value
of public opinion, all the way down
to the least important congressman
from the biggest city, who doesn't
know much of anything except that
he would like to be reelected.

PASSING OF COUNTRY WEEK
LY NEWSPAPERS MENACE
TO POPULAR RULE.
High Price Of Paper Has Forced Over
Twelve Hundred to Suspend
No Relief From War Prices.
From the Washington Times.

From the washington Times.
In his newspaper, "Tbe Mercury"
of Paris, Mo-, Thomas Bodine pub
fishes an editorial as important to
other Americans as to the editors
of the country's smaller newspapers.
Read extracts from it:
Twelve hundred weekly newspa-
pers in the United States have sus-
pended publication during the year
and hundreds are on the verge Of
suspension. In the cities consolida-
tions continue and many papers op-
Grated by Independent capital have
passed out Of existence. No other
line of BUSINESS has been so adverse
" affected by war conditions. With
no hope of recouping increased cost
of operation with an advance either
in subscription or advertising rates,
even those papers fairly secure are
facing a situation far from encourag
ing to say the least. As costs mount,
being denied protection from the pa
per trust by the United States Sen
ate, publishers of small weeklies and
dailes are wondering if the struggle
is worth while They alone have not
profted by reason of the war or can
hope to. Yet they are not only ex-
pected to bear the onerous burden
of government publicity, without pay
The Mercury has given $4,000 in
space to this cause since the war be-
gan-but to give money as well. But
there is another angle from which to
view the matter, and in this view the
public is vitality interested. With
the public press being taken over by
the big business and the country
weeklies, the backbone of popular
government, suspending by hundreds,
where are we to go for q liberal
press? Through what medium will
democracy express itself? These
questions are addressed not alone to
advertisers, but to those WORTHLESS at
Warrington, who, refusing protection
to country papers in their fight
against extortion, will yet call loud
Aest for their help in years to come.
They are big questions, not affecting
individual publishers here and there
alone, but to be considered as vital
to the nation"
