COMMUNITY PATRIOTISM

The following was written and
sent in by a mere boy, and shows
that he has been thinking of some
things that are vital to our civic
welfare:
Are you patriotic? Yes, of course
you would do anything for the
grand old U. s. A. But listen! Is
that the only kind of patriotism?
No, 1t certainly II not. Did you
ever think of patriotism in the state
and local community Which is
the greater patriotismf Whyf
When you give anything to your
state or community you are sure
that you will receive something In
return. Be patriotic to your local
government; you can never regret
it. When called upon to accept an
Office or to take a juryman's place,
offer no palfrey excuses. Say I will
go. and thep go. II you don't,
some idle ignorant person will be
called and your fellowman will SUI
fer.
