Everything would be forgotten but
the fact that our nation was being
attacked and our safety was being
threatened. And the first fare of in
dignation would be followed by a
united defense that would increase in
intensity until the foe had been driven
from our soil. Reckless indeed would
be the enemy who attacked our land!
1t is strange that country 50
determined to protect its honor when
a foreign enemy threatens us should
be 50 Indifferent toward the protec-
ton of it's homes when another enemy

most vicious, deadly enemy that ever
assaulted the United States. Year
after year this army is attacking US.
and the attendant death list has rolled
up more casualties than all our wars
combined. Every forty minutes some
one dies as the result of this warfare -
citizens, aw-enforcement officers. and
only now and then criminal.
Every twenty-five seconds MAJOR
offense is committed - almost a
million and half serious crimes every
year. Every few minutes some citizen
is injured by the forces of crime.
Virtually every assault of this huge
army is aimed directly at our homes,
and there the results are felt - in the
death or injury of loved ones. in the
loss of possessions. in the huge burden
of taxes. 1t is one thing to be taxed
for the defense of a nation we love. 1t
is quite another thing to be forced by
an enemy power to pay tribute.

hated the word tribute" and from

indignation, the same tremendous
patriotism, the same willingness for
sacrifice against our present foe? We
can do it, and we must do it if we are
ever to be freed from one of the worst
menaces that ever has fastened itself
upon America.
The patriotic societies and the pa
triotic citizens of America can assume
no more important task than to arouse
the nation to a successful war on
crime. The cause is as just and as
honorable as the defense of our coun-
try in any declared war. That this war
is undeclared, that it is insidious. that
it often creeps upon us through the
gas clouds of venal politics, makes it
all the more dangerous We need the
leadership of great patriotic bodies to
attack all the causes of crime. We
need patriotic men and women brave
enough to speak openly about the
abuses behind which criminals erect
their bulwarks.
Every patriotic society should
devote part of its time to outwitting
the propaganda and intelligence
forces" of crime. 1t is just as patriotic
to smoke out the crooked shyster, the
venal politician, the enemy gangster,
as it is to expose enemy spies in time
of war.
If every patriotic organization
would launch a vigorous fight against
crime, we should have more money for
the defense of our shores. The fifteen
billion dollars which crime costs US
each year would build the greatest
navy in the history of the world, the
biggest and most efficient army, the
most modern tanks and big guns and
fortifications.
If our national crime bill could be
diverted to legitimate enterprise, our
nation would enter an era of pros
perity which has never been equaled
in our history.
And We should be happier. safer
and more peaceful people.

God LOveth a Cheerful Giver

A few days ago a family in
our community were in need of
funds with which to pay their
rent. The lfead of the family
has been unable to work for
several years. Therefore, with
what assistance his people and
the community could give they
were able to meet their rent of
$1,000 a month. But as it so
happened work is very dull and
no one has much to give, it be-
came necessary for them to
seek outside help as their rich
landlady was pressing them for
the rent money which was past
due of S14.00, so One of our
good Mission Sisters, Mrs. Della
Buckle, canvassed among our
good white friends, who respond
ed most heartily with money
and foodstuffs. But visiting one
of our merchants, Mr.. Wallace
Marcum, for aid, he made the
remark: Il have two houses
idle and ! knew this man when
he could work and did so, and
he always paid his bills, go back
and tell him to examine my two
houses, and if either one suits
him, to move in. The rent is
$1,000 per month but he may
have it for $500 and / wont
press him for the money either"
So this grateful family lost no
time in moving last Monday to
one Of t h G houses. Now who
wouldn't love such a big broad
heart ID man such as Mr.. Wallace
Marcum? Mr.. Marcum is and al
ways has been the races best

ne has never turned down a man

"What Makes An Odd
Fellow Odd"

What makes an Odd Fellow odd?
He could not be an Odd Fellow,
if he were not odd Now being an
Odd Fellow is a mark of respect.
You can 90 anywhere in the world
and let someone know that you are
an Odd Fellow, and it does not
make any difference whether you
meet another one or not. If you
meet any other lodge member, he
will respect you, and you him.
So at once a friendship is soon
established between you. Even the
natives of foreign countries reco'
gnize fraternal orders, even though
they do not beling to them. The
reason is very plain: that they
know that man cannot get into
a fnaternal organisation without
his being true to his friends, and
his honor is not questioned.
Now friends, Let's live up to our
obligations. Respect ourselves ana
earn the respect of others. Remem-
ber, others have right to thelr
opinions just the same as you, Tor
after all, we are brothers.

Cubs Draw With
Sacaton Team

For the second time in two weeks
the Coolidge Cubs played a tie
game. the score Friday night ag-
ainst Sacaton 1919. During the first
three periods the Indians score
three touchdowns and converted
once making a 19-point total. They
flashed a great running and pass
ing attack that seemed to have
the Cubs puzzled. Opening the 4th
quarter 19 points behind, the Cubs
soon showed both the ''railbirds'
and the spectators that they could
actually play football. Jack Bick-
ford threw a short pass to Her
shell Holmes who shook off several
tacklers in a beautiful run to pay
dirt. On the try for the extra point,
Holmes took another pass over the
line. The next score came when
Herel Bickford started a long end
run and lateralled to Arnold Glenn
who went over standing up. The
try for extra point was missed,
making the score 1913 with but
five minutes Of playing time lett.
Our boys soon got their chance to
tie the score They worked the ball
down the field on series of passes
that clicked. D. G. Shoemaker took
the ball on the Vineyard line and
battered his way through the en-
tire Sacaton team, tying the score.
The try for extra point was missed.
The game ended soon after in mid
field.-Joe Clemans.
