SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1913 SOCIETY NEWS tOOOOfO-EO ♦ HOME POEMS.—NO. 9. ♦ I saw a home today where Happiness has reigned for years— A pleasant sight, a bit of heav’n lent to the world. Content Lives there and peace and Love and Hope and Faith; no fears Intrude, and Strife is there a strang er; so engaged, so bent Is each upon some loving task that should lean Want look in Upon the group, he could not stop; Ambition visits there onc£ in a while, Success comes, too, to bear reward or prize for merit; Vice and Sin Know not the way unto this dwelling place of Purity and Truth; a smile Is on each face, the rosy hue of health blooms rich in cheeks that glow, And music, lilting in the laughter, or in the vibrant evening hour. . I sought the secret and I saw tho mother as she gave her days Acd nights oftimes to minist'ring; I found a father, give his power 07 manhood’s energy in glad support for just his home; young men 1 saw, proud of their father’s strength, and in a hundred ways Thoughtful and tender of the mother; too, sweet daughters then I found bound up in rev’rent love to her —and little children fair, Led by the hand along this path of light, of normal living in the right; The secret of this happy home I know is this: Each sacrifices some Small right or pleasure for the other ones; because they give Much to each other in unselfish love they learn best how to . LIVE. —D. G. Bickers. * « « FORT-COLLEY.

A Series of “BUY IN AMERICUS” Editorials—No. 15 You and I Help Make or Mar Our Community It has been said that “a community is no better than the men and women who live in it ” How true this is. If YOU or I fail to do OUR part in the work of building up our city —our city suffers. A city is similar to an individual—the wiong medicine will KILL, while the proper treatment will CURE. Take,for instance,the habit of trading out of town. Noth ing will so quickly kill the business interests of ones home town. But, let each individual apply the remedy of “Trade-at home” and you will see that community thrive and prosper like a sick man who grows strong under the proper treatment The practice of buying away from home is worse than a curse to the people of any community—it will spread and grow like a contagious disease, unless checked by the indi vidual efforts of every citizen. REMEMBER THIS—You have your duty to perform to ward your home town, just the same as yout neighbor has- YOUR individual efforts will go a long ways toward up building or retarding the growth of Americus.
