Ypu teach your children all sorts of things, reading, writing,
arithmetic, science and literature. Why don’t you teach them the
most important thing of all? THRIFT ! Thrift has to be learned.
It hardly ever comes by nature. Encourage saving. Let the boys

M. A. Riley Give Big Barbecue July the 4th
MRS. S. G. RILEY NAMED AS
HONOREE OF THE DAY
On July 4, 1776, just 158 j«
ago the Declaration of Indepea
was signed. A small group-of C<
ists, lovers of liberty, of dem<
of human rights, determined to
those rights from England or give
in, the attempt. It required.upi
courage to arrive at that dctei
tion, sacrifices freely given to
it through. All are familiar with the
manner in which these were made
and the victory that was won. ■
Yet this was but the beginning;
Many problems confronted the young
nation, countless difficulties had to
be surmounted. Fortunately, the
men who assumed leadership adhered
closely to those broad principle* laid
down in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and guided the nation towards
its destiny of power, prosperity and
riches. From that small group of
colonists there sprung one of the
most prosperous artd powerful coun-
tries of the world.
It is with pride and satisfaction
that one is known as a citizen of the
United States of America—a country
that is known throughout the world
as a land of freedom, equality and
democracy. And in return for the,
many privileges afforded by such a
citizenship everyone should under-
take to perform efficiently and con-
scientiously the duties and responsi-
bilities involved and take an interest the honoree and her husband.
in local and national affairs. __
On the 4th day of July each yen lei
people throughout the United State ±h
celebrate this day with appropriate
programs, with barbecues and pic-
nics, and getting together of the peo-
ple and rejoicing that we are cisizens
of a great nation, and rejoicing.that
we have a part on the program of
maintaining this our mighty demo-
cratic govenrment.
