The @. A. r. has issued resolutions
for Zone country, one flag and one
language" The old soldiers could not
very well feel any other way about it
No real American citizen who has
the interests of American ideals ait
heart could very well feel differently
about it. It is only those who have
come here from foreign lands and who
want to bring up their children by
foreign textbooks, who will want to
argue about it, just as if it were some
thing to be argued.
Such people didn't come here to re-
nounce foreign allegiances but to per-
petuate them.
Such people didn't come here to
learn Americanism, but to sneer at
it.
Such people didn't come here to
honor the flag, but to dishonor it.
They came here because Uncle Sam
was kind enough to leave the door
wide open. And then after they got
here they forgot all about Sans kind
ness. They simply didn't care whether
they could talk with him or not. And
so they set up foreign language school
here, there and everywhere.
On the very soil Uncle Sam sold
them for mere song they erected
their schools. In them the impressions
able child minds were shown the great
ness of Kaiser Bill and other foreign
notables who aren't worth the gun
powder to blow them to hades.
But thank heaven for the hundreds
of thousands who came here from for
eign lands and who Immediately adopt
ed our language and our loyalty. They
are the salt of the earth All honor
to them. They ungrudgingly sent
their sons to fight the autocracy which
they renowned when they first caught
sight of the Goddess of Liberty.
The resolutions Of the Grand Army
of the Republic are all to the good; for
inasmuch as we live in the most glor-
ious country on earth, let us honor
that country, its red, white and blue
flag, and speak the language in which
our forefathers wrote the Declaration
of independence Sherburn Advance
Standard.

BRITAIN BUYS BONDS

The American people have been
proud of their unparalleled war loans.
But those triumphs are no longer UNI
paralleled. says the Red Wing Re-
publican. Great Britain has just fin
ished the most successful loan cam
paign ever conducted. 1t was an
nounced early in the week that the
subscription already amounted to
nearly $500, OO0, 900, and were expect
ed to total $4,000, 0OO,O 900 by the close
of the drive, on january 18. Our big
gest Liberty Loan, the Fourth. was q
little under $1,000, 900, 900. Here is q
challenge to America for the Victory
Loan that will open in April. 1t is
also helpful omen. Many persons
have feared that it would be much
harder to raise war funds with the
fighting stopped and the war practical
~ over. Certainly no such tendency
is noticeable in England. And il the
British people are ready to buy bonds
more literally than ever, why not the
American people too?

Paying Taxes

When person paints his house, has
/ it repapered or refinished he may
growl about the cost, but he considers
that the money is pretty well spent
for it has improved the appearance of
his home. If he buys new rug or
new piece of furniture, or if he makes
any change or improvements to his
home, he almost invariably considers
| the money thus spent as being w.
spent. In doing any of these things he
lis adding to the appearance and COM
| fort of his home, and he believes 1T
worth while. One would not care TO
/ live in house that was never lepalnt-
ed, repapered, Impaired, or that never
had anything new in the way OF COM
forts of conveniences brought into It.
Such house would indeed be a
dreary, dismal decadent thing, Hence
one finds pleasure in constantly add
| ing to the bnauty and comfort OF his
home, even though at times it is some
thing of a hardship to do so.
The town in which we live is, in a
general sense, as much our home as
the house in which we live, and, there
fore. we should take the same pride
in our town that we do in our home.
No one wants to live in town where
the streets and sidewalks are not kept
In good repair. where the modern con-
veniences and comforts of life are not
provided, nor where things are never
done to in any way add to the beauty
of the place. What horribly dismal
place such town would be.
When one has his house repainted
or repapered, buys something new or
makes some Improvement to add to the
beauty or comfort of his home, he may
have to make considerable sacrifice
to do it, but down in his heart he
thinks it worth while and is glad. 1t is
''tax" he must pay for the things
he would enjoy and which make life
pleasanter and more comfortable.
Fundamentally there isn't any diff
ference between this self-imposed
'stax' and the taxes levied by the mum
icipality 1t costs money to make our
homes attractive, pleasant and COM
Portable md paost men nay these nee
essary taxes" quite chrerfully. T.
same rule applies to the town in which
our homes are located. If our town is to
be kept up,-sidewalks and crosswalks
kept in repair, good streets built, wa
ter and sewer systems installed, cleo
trio service furnished, streets curbed
and parked. and parks and Playground
provided as places of comfort and at
traction-we must tax ourselves to
provide these things, just as we tax
Yourselves to provide comfortable and
attractive homes. As most men find
pleasure and qualification in improv-
ing their homlas, so should they find
equal enjoyment and satisfaction in
improving their town, and for the same
sound reasons. The tax may seem
rather heavy at times, just as a GER
tain improvement to the home some
times seems a pretty heavy expense
but as in the case of the home, ulti-
rnately all are glad that the improve
ments was made.
We must pay taxes in one form OF
another for every material thing we
have in this world that is worth while,
and we should pay the taxes for public
Improvements as cheerfully and in the
same spirit that we pay the tax for
/ the private improvements that add to
the enjoyment or comfort of our lives.

A Hair Ribbon Idea.

There are some little girls who still
cling to the hair ribbon, usually be-
tween the ages of eight and twelve, af-
ter the bob and before they think 1t
time TO put up their hair. And these
same little girls like dashlng things in
hair ribbon, especially for dress-up
time. What about embroidering them,
then? Lovely things can be done with
hair ribbons. On dainty white, blue
and pink backgrounds pretty sprays OF
silken flowers will be appropriate for
party sets, hair-ribbons and sashes to
wear over the light wash frock of ba-
tiste or net. On darker ribbons bright
err and more conventional motifs will
be in order Maybe the little girl will
like to do this embroiderlng herself
If the ends of the ribbon are shaped,
preferably rounded, they may be but
tonholed or blanket-stitched and would
not have to be trimmed Off as the usu-
al ribbon continually ravels out.
