Citizenship

Good citizenship, like charity, begins at home. Let the good citizen support his family, keep his house and fenc€ in repair, mow his lawn, trim his trees, mend his sidewalk, discipline his children, and pay his bills. If he does less, he is not doing enough, even though he is president of the Neighborhood Improvement Association, and a deacon in his church.

"Take care of yourself," is noble advice. Take care of your family, take care of your house, and take care of your creditors.

"The man who is diligent in his business will stand before kings," says the Bible. A man's first business is his family. Let him look to his own affairs, and the community will be spared the burden of sending a policeman to notify him that his children are heaving stones through the neighbors' windows.

The eloquence that.tells us that every man owes a duty to his community, his profession, his lodge, his trade association, his club, his school, his wife's relations, is sound enough provided the man has first put his personal affairs in order.

Questions that every man should ask himself are: "What will become of me when I am sick?" and "What will become of me when I am old?" The good citizen doesn't say, "The city will look after me" or the church, or the lodge. He plans and saves against the contingency. Such men are the rocks on which civilization rests. They ask least from the community, and contribute most to its prosperity and well-being.-From "Bagology."

Custom Built

By Bertin Braley

You may boast of your Your Setters and Scotties and But WE have a special-breed dog, Our personal pedigreed dog!

No ready:made dog of a general type

Which you can make out by the spot or the stripe That's found on the fur or the pelts Of dogs owned by anyone else; OUR dog is distinct, and we're terribly proud That our dog isn't linked with the rest of the crowd; OUR dog, we would bid you all kindly to note, Has his own individual kind of a coat.

He's not found in books on the kennelman's shelf, He looks like no canine on earth but himself, He is not a unit of mass-production

But a special job of unique construction, Designed exactly to fit our need For a dog of utterly novel breed

Boast of your Pom or your Pekinese, Your bulldog, English, 5lour Wolf-hound-Russian; But what are the haughtiest of these To a dog who surely beyond discussion, Is unmistakably different From anything under the firmament !

No one of the brands you can duplicate At any shop where you chance to trade, But a dog you certainly have to rate As tailored to measure and custom made !
