Four Points of
Good American
FarringtOn's Talk

Hon. Frank G. harrington spoke
before the North Augusta Grange at
its noon meeting Tuesday on the
four points of what constitute a good
American, which include love of
home and fellows and Country, the
United States of America, and mat
ters of religion. all of which are es-
sential to good citizenship. He said
that while there may be no such
thing as a 100 per cent American,
We cannot even approximate that
standard without defnit - loyal
attitude toward these four funda-
mental things. He said that the
Grange typified in it's work and
teachings many phases of this same
ideal. He also expressed the opin-
ion that the sober sense and good
judgment of our rural sections can
be depended on to offset some of
the things which more quickly in
fluence men in the mass.
