Suggestion That Baccalaurate Ser

1t distresses us to think that in an en-
terprising country like this so much
energy is wasted in the laborious and
earnest compilation of commencement
addresses. Surely one standardized
speech could be formulated which could
be used by all eminent educators on
such occasions. Unfortunately we did
not think of this until Just now; but
we will get ready a nation wide bacca-
laureate sermon for 1922 and syndicate
it, thus making great deal of money.

asked to make an estimate of the cost
of installing the waterworks, to test
the water supply of deep wells near or
in the city. and estimate whether 1t is
more available to use wells, installing
our own pumps, or use the water from
Shreveport.
AS soon as these estimates can he
made and submitted the Council will
then be in a position to know what to
do and where to start. This begins to
get. the waterworks of Bossier City in
more tangible form and the residents
Of the town are now realizing that 1t Is
a question Of months only until we
have water supply.
The members. Of the City Health
Board were present and made some re-
ports. All are urged to read and heed
ordinances Nos. 9S and 80. They are
now effective, and by the residents OF
our town complying with them the
work Of the Health Board will be very
| much 1essened. 1t is believed that
everybody will readily comply with
these ordinances. They are posted In
| several places in town so that all may
read them.
! It is a pride to all citizens to see that
our town is rapidly growing to be just
a little better than the hest in all lines
There is no reason why Bossier City
cannot reach the high goal that it's best
citizens are striving for. and now is the
time for all to get In line.

the organization of packing house
company for the town. Saturday being

citizens. they were unable to attend,
but telephoned messages to count them
in good and strong.
Inquiries developed that there are at
present more than 5000 head Of cattle
in the parish available and ready for
the market. This, In connection with
the fact that others could be gotten
ready very soon and that we have a
vast area of close-in tributary terri
tory, makes it all the more practical
that this enterprise should be pushed
to the best that is within us. There
are several very desirable locations
available at present, which argues fur
ther for the start. Our citizens realize
that we have splendid stock country,
and backing that will put any enter
prise over the top.

AmericaniSm
LEONARD WOOD
Fear God and take yeur own
part.-Theodore Roosevelt.

This is one Of the strongest and
/ most frequently quoted Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's utterances. The
seven words might stand for his auto
He feared God and took
his own part-as an American citizen.
There is a double significance in the
word "take" as Roosevelt used 1t. It
has its self-defensive significance and
1t has the meaning also Of playing your
own part for the good Of your coun-
try. Roosevelt preached the strenu-
GUS life. He did not believe in soft
living. His contempt for the Idle
American was almost beyond the reach
Of the words Of his vocabulary. He
could not conceive any sight more pitt
full than that Of man willing to ac-
cept the benefits Of good government
and yet unwilling to bear his share OF
the burden Of the work of securing 1t.
Roosevelt's words Fear God and
take your own part" were addressed to
every man and woman In this land.
Roosevelt was God-fearing and he
knew that God-fearing nation was q
nation which would survive. He knew
also that the God-fearing man Is the
man who, If he interprets Alright his
duty to God, is the man who is will
ing to take his own part and play his
own part in the world.
There are civic duties which every
American should do his utmost to full
fill. There are duties which admit Of
no timidity or inaction. The timid
have no place in government of the
people. The timid cannot be depended
upon properly to guard their treasure
of liberty, a treasure which came
down to them as heritage from fear
less forefathers.
There have been times when people
of this country seemingly have been
afraid to take their own part,
let alone to play it. 1T was more
In seeming than in reality. It takes
q whole people a long time to make
up Its mind just what is right. When
the nations mind finally was made up
however, that the national conscience
demanded action, action always has
followed.
But even In times of stress there
have been those timid souls who would
hold back. pleading this or pleading
that In order to justify hesitating pol
Icy. It was to all the people thai
Roosevelt appealed when he said Zeal
God and take your own part" but |,
was his desire to strengthen particu
larly the hearts OF the timid ones ant
to clear their vision so that they c0ult
see straight the path OF American duty
Americans should take their owl
