What Is An American7


The following definition of an Amer
lean was written by Mrs. OWE Musin
Hodges, in August, 1917, and was sub
mitted for consideration in the national
citimy creed contest, held lately in
Baltimore. AS the contest Git was dis
covered) was confined to males, Mrs
Hodges creed was not submitted. The
$1,000 prize was given to a young man
living in Maryland. This is Mrs
Hodges:
Justice toward all,
Love for the right,
Hostility to wrong.
Charity to the weak
Honor to the flag
Strength to defend il,
The Stars and Stripes forever"
The creed that wasaccepted, is con-
stantly printed inadvertising columns CT
our daily newspapers.
So long as the United States continue
under a Republican form of government
an American is a person who reyerences
the struggle for freedom made by the
colonies in 1916, when the declaration
of independence was signed and became
a law on the statute books of that era.
He is a true American when he advo-

the people in legislatures assembled
and authorized by the votes of the peo-
ple at home, who elect such representa-

tive departments be kept forever sepa-

be ripe when the cane is in condition to
grind for syrup and you should be able
to determine the time to cut without
serious difficulty. Sorghum makes a
good grade of syrup and should make
a good yield per acre. of course. much

In this connection ii is best to produce
the sorghum through the agency of
commercial fertilizers rather than ward

of nitrogen, and acid phosphate will
provide a good formula. Apply under
