to the citizens to raise the bal
ance of $300.00 needed and we
have no hesitancy in saying that
so long as Mrs/ Musgrove and

IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN—IT’S YOU
If you want to live in the kind
of a town
That’s a kind of a town you
like,
i
You needn’t slip your clothes in
a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You’ll find elsewhere what you
left behind,
For there’s nothing that’s real
ly new.
It’s a knock at yourself when you
knock your town—
It isn’t your town- it’s vou.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When somebody works and no
body shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And if while you make your per
sonal stake,
Your neighbor can make one
too,
Your town will be what you want
to see—
It isn’t your town —it’s you.
— Loudoun (Va.) Mirror.

WHERE IS HE?
Sing Sing, under ancient re
gime, was a smothered hell. De
spite the most hideously depres
sive measures, vice flourished,
keepers were bribed, dope was
smuggled in, prisoners escaped,
rebellion smoldered and murder
occasionally broke out. Cunning
was met with cunning, force
with force. All the power of
the state could not keep order.
A mollycoddle and sentimental
ist came along and substituted
the law of love for the law of
force, the rule of right for the
rule of might. At once the out
casts and depraved were trans
formed from beasts into men,
vice withered, order was main
tained, and for the first time the
germ of self-respect and good
citizenship found soil in which to
grow. Sing Sing was transform
ed and transfigured.
Where is the Tom Osborne big
enough to apply the principles of
Sing Sing to this warring world ?—
