Student Editorial ? ''Duties of Alfe_
American Ctlzen"
(Alma Wester ? lit# Grade)
Br try man In -our state must eith*
be a progressive citizen or a non-|.rq
greistve - one, a drawback to Um
country. In fhe first place. If a rnaj
(ores and honors his homeland, staftl
county, or eren the community tt
which he lires he, no doubt, ts goln
: to be a staunch and progressive <\%.
The queatlon often arises. WMkC
must a man do and be in order to 4$
an American citizen First his di ttf
must begin In his own home, for hoip6
Is the true foundation ror citizenship-.
U a person wants his none arranMf
In such a way that It will attract tjS
attention of passershy he Is going A
have enough lntarlect about hlmstf
to want to see his community la?
prove, Just as he would have his hr>u?#
do. In the home the duty of a trvtf
citizen Is to see that the -premises nt?
kept entirely clean, yard grass pla^fc
ed, and flower garden* (d arranged tm
l>eaatify the home. Probably the ratS
Is too small for gardens. But certqM
ly there are the windows; an *? what
can add attractiveness to I place *0
much as a bright look!?* '^tjdow ^ *
. iji. ..U vi
Ambition is contagiosa . 11 oo* man
beautifies bla ham* his neighbor U
going to follow hi* exjuapt*. And fi
nally yon see from the food example
of on* man there originate* thousands
and thousand* of true citizens and .a
stronger desire for beauty.
The spirit of beautifying1 does not
only apply to community life; but
from the community the antbltlous
spirits of cltisens more on into a town
and spreads from there through tho
whole universe.
By passing a block In town and
Just by the appearance of the houses,
streets, and surroundings you
quickly tell whether or not they who
dwells there are good cltisens or not.
Another thing that the citizen must
avoid Is the destroying of nature. Na
ture can create a lots more attractive
place than man so why does man want
to do away with nature t.nd put some
of his own constructions In .-is place.
Of course some cases are unavold.
able, and yet ? there are lots and lots
of cases where the destruction of
n.other nature can be avoided, and It
Is our duty, as citizens to see that It
Is avoided.
A citizen must also bolp his coun
try by being a law abldmg citizen and
helping to prosecute those who are not
law abiding. He of course must
ktow fully the laws and amendment]
of his country In order to abide by and
crrry them out. It Is his duty to pic
ture to each person the nead of hav
ing a clean country since we are a
free nation.
The citizen must also look after
avoiding waste. This also must start
in the household. Some people do
not-Beem to realize that the great
clouds of smoke which rises up from
great factories dally can be averted
Into energy. It can be and it is our
duty to help to do It. I believe there
is more .waste in public money in the
United States than Is necessary. We
too can prevent this to a certain ex
tent.
We, as citizens must rove s.nd honor
cur native land. We must help to
better it: stand up for It, and never
allow bad things to be sala about it.
We should strive to carry out our
parts and doing our duties just as
uear as its possible for us to.

Making Vinegar in the Home
(By Boone Sy*es>
The process by which Vinegar ' 1s
made in the home should be under
stood by every member of the family.
01 course Vinegar has ?>een known
from the earliest historical period.
And the Romans gave it the name
"tplrltus veneris" but they did not un.
derstpnd the fermentqt4?p that com
mon apple cider undergoes before it
becomes Vinegar.
There are two Important changes
that take place in the fermentation.
1. The sugar in the sweet cider
undergoes alcoholic fermentation,
which turns the sweet cider to hard
cider. And the cider then contains
from 4 to 8 per cent alcohol. The
cider should be in a w^gden barrel
and some means shouldbe provided
by which air can get to the cider, yet
it should be bo fixed that no insects
tan get to the cider. It generally
takes from ten to twenty days for this
process to take place, and for the hard
cider to contain the given amount of
alcohol.
2. After the alcoholic fermenta
tion Is completed, acetic bacteria be.
gins to grow and changes tne alcohol
Into acetic acid, or vinegar. That Is
by the combination of oxygen in the
air and alcohol that this acid is form
ed, which has been given the name
ncetlc acid. This acid glve3 the vin
egar most of its sour taste. These
bacteria grow on the surface of the
liquid and form film or scum called
the mother of vinegar. Alter this
process the mother of tae vinegar is
ready to keep the vinegar strong and
ready for use.

Mrs. "Bert" Carr, nee Miss Sarah
Sledge, daughter of Sherrod Sledge,
after being the victim of pneumonia
for only a few hour/, passed to her
eternal reward on Jan. 11, 1923.
Mrs. Carr, althojgft a sufferer for
many years, lived out more than three
score and ten years, doing faithfully
what she could as an humble christian,
a devoted wife, and a loving and duti
ful mother. The members of her
family and the people who lived near
he*, do not hesitate to call her blessed.
She leaves to mourn their loss, three
sons, Ellas, Albert and Jobn, besides
one brother,' J. H. Bledge, and one
sister, Mrs. Mary Pulgnum, and a
host of other relatives and friends.
But these mourn not as one6 without
hope, for we feel confident that our
loss Is her gain.
She was a member of Maple Springs
church, having very recently received
letter of dismission to unite with
the church at Mt. Zion.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. J. H. H*m?r. and her re
mains were consigned to thi grave* In

Zkm. May we cherish her memory
and emulate her virtue*. T. H. 8.
