■ A ThimbU Gama
The thimble game is quite fun,
although it is very simple. Two
thimbles are needed, and the play-
ers divide themselves into two
sides. It will be as well if one
player stands aside to see that
everybody plays the game. The
players line up on eaeb side of the
table. At the word MGo,“ the first
player of each side picks up the
thimble and pushes It onto the cen-
ter finger of the right hand of the
player behind libn. That player in
turn pulls It off with his left hand
and pushes It on the same finger
of the next pla.’er. This contin-
ues rlglit down each line of players
and back a^ain to the starter, and
the aide to finish 'first wins the
i;ame.

It is a fine, high-sounding phrase
—Civic Loyalty; it makes a good
text for a lot of oratory and col-
umns upon columns of newspaper
editorials, but, after all, there
is no difference bev.ee;i Civic
Loyalty and any other kind uf
loyalty.
While books have been written
on the su'bject;. any number ot
sermons preached on and about
it; hundreds of speakers have put
thousands of people to sleep talk,
ing about it. Still, what is it—oi
perhaps it is better to say: “What
isn’t it?”
The city in which you live ia
your city; its institutions are yours
its life your family’s and your
children’s; and besides, you are a
part of it, in fact, you are the city.
Such being the case, you naturally
do not want to be disloyal to It,
tor the worst of all Is disloyalty
to one's self. The man who is dis-
loyal to his town is disloyal to
himself and to all that is best ‘n
him. He is his own worst enemy
for he undermines his character
and thus deprives his efforts of
that incentive which Is the most
powerful of all factors.
Your loyalty or disloyalty makes
the place where you live what It
is or what it Is not, and you can
trot pass the buck to “George”, the
weather or prohibition.
You expect your city to be s
good place in which Jo Uva ftfii.

“It’s not a
matter for dis-
cussion.”
“Whatever do
you mean by

asked one of
the very young
brownies.
“Talk, brownie
child," said the
clock. “Talk and
discussion mean the same.
‘ “Sometimes, though, a discussion
may be an argument, < and some-
times an argument may mean a
quarrel. ,
“So discussion has all sorts of
possibilities which talk hasn’t got
"Yes, I’d rather be discussion
than talk If I were a word. It has
more chance in life.”
Billie and Bennie Brownie were
laughing so hard they were al-
most afraid they would burst their
aides.
. The clock was putting on such
airs and trying to be so very
learned and wise.
“Could you be a word if you
wanted to be?” asked the young-
est brownie of all.
“I am a word," said the clock.
“And a fine word I am. too. Tbe
word' which I am Is clock, little
brownie.
“Yee, clock is certainly a word
and that word means nothing else
but me—or one of my family.

if necessary, fight for it.
Loyalty reproduces a reciproet'
effect in all with whom a 109*1
person comes in contact. A man
who is loyal to his friends, famP
ly, town, country and loyal to his
God will never be troubled with’
disloyalty on the part of cthere.
There is no real success wlthsGfcj
loyalty.
Whatever Civic Loyalty is, it*
isn’t knocking your town, buying
mall order, or going to tbe next
nearest town to purchase when 9
you can buy the same things at fe
home, and usually for less money. ‘3-
Spending your money with otrt*
of-town peddlers is not only dis-
loyalty but downright foolhardi- 1
ness, if you value your money.
Bragging that you bought ft in
the city and that; therefore, ft

have purchased It from a local
dealer, is not only disloyalty, but
it is flaunting your lack of loyal-

The mother threw down a cheap
novel she had been reading, ex-
claiming : “Good gracious, this hero-
ine makes me tired. She has no
end of lovers.
“But titre’s a lot more than
those. Why I’ve found five al-
