VICTORY FOR AMERICAN
IDEALS

IDEALS
This country never facet
such a period of prosperity a,
appears to be ahead of it. Ant
therein lies our greatest danger
Can we as a nation keep oul
head and not become soft anc
disseminated?
! Will we in our quest fol
more of the nimble dollars al.
How political soothsayers to un-
| dermine our government with
visionary schemes at public ex-
jpense?
Will material prosperity give
us the "swellhead" and cause
us to feel that we are too Elm
pcrtant" to attend to the
troublesome little affairs of
government?
If this attitude overtakes us
look out for trouble.
AS individuals we are "small
potatoes" in the scheme of &C.
onomic development. But if
each individual does his part
to maintain American ideals
and sound conditions in govern
ment and industry, small pot
atoes'' will grow into big pot
atoes and our national potato
crop stability, security, pros
perity) will be on safe and en-
during basis
The feat which Captain
Charles Lindbergh accomplis
ed is typicaAy American.
Nothing could better illust-
rate our spirit of individual in
ttiative and enterprise. Every
American might be called a
pioneer, for every American
has the right to strike out with
his own ideas in whatever field
OF endeaver appeals to him.
II is this priceless heritage
of freedom and opportunity for
the individual which each of us
should strive to uphold. Our
government should always be
maintained on a basis which
protects and encourages the in
oividufl and private industry,
rather than on a basis which re
stricts and destroys expert
ments, growth and ambition.
Not only was Lindbergh's
crossing of the Atlantic TYPICAL
ly American in it's freedom
from pomp and ceremony, but
Lindbergh himself is symbol
ical of American ideals. He
had the ability, courage and dri
wing force to accomplish results
in the face of seemingly insur-
mcuntable barriers.
It is the Lindbergh spirit,
the American spirit, which has
given us our wonderful modern
conveniences and comforts.
The development of trans
continental railroads, te.ephon-
es, electric power, radio, auto
mobiles and our system of bus
mess, banking and insurance,
while not as spectacular as
Lindbergh's feat, required a
high type of courage, persever-
ance md enterprise for their
successful accomplishment.
Our system of government
which has given us unparallel-
ed opportunities, was founded
built up, and is maintained by
men capable of understanding
the advantages to be derived
from the fullest encouragement
of individual initiative and en-
tesprise.

While others called him donkey.
He'd twist his face in such way,
That filled the school with
laughtef;ss
He dill not think about the rules,
Or what might come hereafter.
So Mary Jane did her best. y
To teach him to be charming:
And to quit his apish gawky ways
Which had become alarming,
One day 81. Green made q face.
That made the children litter;
Silas learned a lesson then.
That was most sad and bitter.
Mary Jane grabbed Silas Green.
And threw him down real handy:
She used her slipper on his pants
Like yankee-doodle-dandy.
WhenSi got up and looked around
ms manner most alarming:
While Mary jane with slipper
drawn,
Looked both sweet and charm
ING.
ST was . lad just fifteen,
While Mary Jane was twenty:
She never more had to tell him
twice.
One telling. was q plenty.
Silas bad learned his lesson well,
Hesresolved to make q change;
He'd pierce her heart with cupid's
And thereby get revenge.
81 spfuced right up to Mary Jane,
Hesthen began his wooing;: I
Thu y.whiled away their idle hours
Like doves with bills Q cooling.
When 81 grew up to be q man.
He. had mastered mathematics;
He had won the heart Of Mary
Jane,
In a wav that was pathetic.
He told her at the village school,
He had gst his education;
And all shout the slipper used.
And it's mode of application.
Now Siias Green loved Mary Jane
And she rociprocated;
When he talked to her Of Home
sweet home,"
Her heart just palpitated.
He toldher of Elysian fields.
His words with rapture thrill
ings
While the noble heart of Mary
Jane,
With wondrous love was filling.
He spoke about ambrosial woods.
With scented flowers growing;
Also Of his pigs and ducks.
And his sheep and cows 9 low
ing
Then SIT Green asked Mary Jane
II he would get the preacher;
Would she consent to marry him
And. be his lovely creature ?
She told him that she sure would
If 'twould crafty his wishes;
Provided; he would get the hash
And help to wash the dishes.
To this agreement 81 said yea,
Which made the contract bind
ing;
And now 81 Green lives at home
And the mill just keeps OF
grinding.
They livein perfect harmony,
Two hearts that beat as one:'
She never.fails to mend his pants
And;sew his buttons on.
Mary Jane don't wear bobbe'
hair,
Nor dress like the modern sis
tiers;
She never tries on 81 Green
pants.
But. she sometimes trims 81
whiskers.
