TIL: WHO'S AND
THE WHATS

Everybody talks of the why's and
the wherefoFes, but not always do we
consider the who's and the whats.
In agitating for local improvements
the most vital of all considerations
are WHO will get the benefit and
WHAT will be the results.
These are important questions which
should be uppermost in our minds.
They are questions which should be
satisfactorily answered before any
action is taken.
Let Us continue to strive for the
upbuilding OF this community, but in
the crystalization of our efforts let
US go beyond the why's and the where
fores. The who's and the whats are
of greater import.

OLD GLORY'S CALL

Awake! Arise! Old Glory calls!
Her banner waves on high
Where freedom rings from shore to shore
And mighty hosts reply
Where tumult of the battle-cry
And blasts of war resound.
There will the starry banner fly
And liberty be found
Then peace and brotherhood will reach
Across the shining sea,
And patriots dreams be realized
Throughout eternity
