Let Pride Begin at Home

/ We all take pride in our country
because il is q great country-the
greatest Of them all.
But what constitutes this country
The forests, and the fields, and the
mountains, and the valleys, and the
prairies, and the lakes, and the riv-
ers, and the hamlets, and the villages,
and the towns, and the cities, and
all Of the human and other life that
exists therein and thereon.
! This town is a part of this coun-
| try, and our pride of country should
extend to the community in which we
live.
Our individual homes are part of
and town should begin with the homes
in which we live.
| If We make them as near perfection
as our resources will permit, then the
! town and the state and the country
reflects the warmth and the glory of
our fresides.
We look at the big cities and mar
vel at their immensity-at their
! wealth, and their enterprise, and their
| growth. -
! But do we remember that before
these cities became great they were
small, even as We are?
Their citizens saw the opportunities
that were before them, and were quick
to grasp them. Pride in their i'm
provements impelled them to press
onward and make other and greater
ones.
/ AS the giant oaks sprung from little
acorns, so have these great cities
sprung from what were once little
hamblets and villages-often from
barren wastes of land.
But they did not spring up of their
own accord.
The people of the tiny hamlets took
pride in their homes, and their sur
roundings, and worked to make them
better and more prosperous. 1t is
this stalwart quality of thrift and
energy that has made them what they
are today-metropol centers of
population and commerce which are
known all over the civilized world.
And the root Of it all was pride.
Few things are impossible to a
people who have the will to accomplish.
But without the will to perform no
great endings will come from little
I beginnings.
/ Let us consider the future of this
town-but let us begin with pride in
the home, and the improvements we
may make therein.
Today We. are small, but there is
always a tomorrow-and tomorrow is
ever flowing with new hopes of adj
vancement and achievement.
Our geographical situation is such
that We may never become a great
city, but it does not prevent the pos
sibility of making Of our home town
paradise in which to live.
\ Pride in the home has done it for
other towns.
i 1t can do it for ours.
Why not?

Cultivating ImmOdesty

1t is difficult to pick up large city
newspaper or illustrated magazine
without seeing picture of some wo-
man or young girl making vulgar
display of her legs.
Short skirts are sanitary, easy to
walk in, and should be encouraged.
They are distinct Improvement over
the trailing ones that swept up the
filth of the streets few years ago.
But the women of the big cities
or many of them-do not stop at
"short Skirts" In fact, the limit Of
exposure seems to be rapidly disap-
pearing, as are also those fine femi-
nine instincts We have been taught to
revere in womanhood.
A picture in daily paper which
recently attracted masculine attention
portrayed two young women, blind
folded, seated on table and in the
act of drawing lucky numbers from
a bowl, in a contest the paper was
conducting.
Modestly gowned? Not at all.
Short skirts? Worse.
No skirts at all!
Fortunately this mania for indie
cent exposure has not hit the country
towns very hard.
We hope it never does.

urday. The principal business at the

Crippled Children Treated 1t
Boston

4 Thirty-two Vermont crippled chill
dren were taken to Roxbury, Mass,
last week where they will be operated
on in an effort to cure them. They
were in three groups, the first COM
posed Of six children were from Rut-
land under the care of Miss Margaret
Belt. Miss Bertha E. Weisbrod, reg
istered nurse in charge Of the after
care Of infantile paralysis patients
for the State of Vermont, was in
charge of % little boys and girls
from Burlington. The third group
comprised eight crippled youngsters
from st. Johnsbury and Newport,
under the direction Of Miss Calef and
Mrs. Human.
The Boston Globe says that from
what could be learned these children
are victims Of infantile paralysis.
Their trip to Boston for treatment, it
is said, was made possible through a
fund raised by philosophical citi-
zens of Vermont.

Few Selected Issues Moved Up,
While Representative Shares
Dragged

New York, Dec. 2O.-Movement OF
prices in today's stock market was rs
irregular as it was yesterday or in any
of the immediate preceding sessions, ex-
ccpt that the range of fluctuations were
confined to much narrower limits. As
a matter Of fact, there was little to say
concerning the days operations that
has NOS been said for week or more.

concentrated in n few selected issues.
