LETTERS FROM OUR READERS One Hundred Per Cent Americanism. What constitutes 100 per cent Amer icanism? This is indeed a momen-1 tons question in the minds of thinking people. In these days of unrest the individual is constantly reminded of his patriotic duties, civic responsibilities and his debt to the great underlying principles of true democracy; his duty is to adhere to the basic theory of a government by the people and for the people, where all men receive equality under the regime of justice the impar tial judge. The individual ie allowed the pur suit of happiness according to his own ideas providing these ideas do not conflict with the existing laws. Each person has the unquestioned privilege of worshiping (lod accord ing to the dictates of his own heart. Religion and law are not consoldated within the state. Within the confines of this glorious nation, the great underlying principle is freedom. Opportunity stalks upon every highway and fortune awaits the effort of the worthy and the sincere. It is to be lamented that some high government officials have broken the trust reposed in them and let us sin cerely hope there will not be a repeti tion of these offenses in the future. Justice has been meted out in no un certain terms and the shaken confi dence of the people has largely been restored. The president, together with his chosen assistants, has looked the issue squarely in the face and dealt with thp situation to the satisfaction of all. One hundred per cent Americanism means confidence in the institutions of our government, faith in the wis dom of our law makers and sincerity in the observance of all laws which have been inaugurated. No individual or group is, entirely responsible for the fulfillment of the law and Justice should be administered through reg ulation channels in accordance with the severity of the offense. Civic au thorities and servants of the law strive at all times to be impartial and fair and endeavor to interpret the law in an efficient manner. Should we not as 100 per cent American citizens co operate with them in a worthy cause? - J4 * Our beautiful, modem funeral home provides every convenience and A our experience qualifies us to render the service demanded when loved ones are called by death. y 1 Jones & Co., Undertakers | Y 24th and Grant Sta Webster 1100 ¥ V V — ---' .

Are you self-conscious about the impression you make on people? PERSONAL appearance has a lot to do with the way you feel. Clothes count, of course. But still there is one thing so many people overlook—something that at once brands them as either fastidious or careless—the teeth. Notice today how you, yourself, watch another person’s teeth when he or she is talking. If the teeth are not well kept they at once become a liability.
