Show BE LOYAL TO HO mi industries it has been to us hat the committee for the animal red and nd blue ball of tile the high school hi h has i ordered programs iams for th thi thail aall out of town and this even an all inquiry ns as to whether or not the local print shop could supply auppl y their needs the iten item i in itself is of little consequence re to us as the profit on such jobs jol is so small as to be negligible except when figuried on oil the basis of one in an accumulation of small jobs I 1 but the principle it involves is one which places place at stake the of local industries and makes siept skeptical ci I 1 those who would otherwise invest capital for their fui ful therance in llis locality it is the thin thing which sets at such wide ide variance valiance the te term home ton loyalty and loyalty to the home town it may be that the policy of the student is a forerunner foie fole runner of the policy of business houses and it may be that the policy of the school is dictated by the examples frequently set by our business houses at any late if all the bur business ineis houses in town would have theia printing done in our home town shop this tin s would materially contribute to an increase Jn crease in the payroll of the shop they in turn would benefit as it is a well known fact that if not all the money paid to employees of the reaper is spent and used in our city at least ninety per cent of it is the reaper force the publisher included consi dais it a duty cluty to make all purchase locally and it should not be difficult to prove that none of the food none of the clothing none of tile the lu luxuries uries or necessities with which they provide themselves is purchased out of town if there is the slightest chance of obtain obtaining ip hole hc ie the thing they need it would be to mutual advantage if students and busi ness houses would reciprocate in this attitude the case however is of importance only as proof of disloyalty not only to the home town newspaper and print shop but also a sign of disloyalty to the home town which needs the support of all honic home industries of which the reaper print cry is not the smallest part pait even if it were the smallest part the case is a concrete cample of how low easily people are arc lead to disloyalty disloyalty which sometimes assumes dangerous proportions as in the case of our sugar factory the largest industry we have and I 1 which would have been compelled comp to close had it not been for the action of some public spirited citizens who came to the lescue and secured by their action the necessary sugar beet acreage and again in the particular case to which we refer this disloyalty finds expression also in a lack of latitude to one of the schools most loyal loya I 1 patrons

inclined to wonder if the roses the graduates receive every year would not nor lose a little of their fragrance if held in the hands of disloyalty we repeat that the thoughtlessness and for the benefit of the students student 3 we assume that their decision was readied reached just in a moment of thoughtlessness thoughtless nes of the committee responsible for the decision will not change the attitude of our paper towards school faculty and students student however the students should ask themselves whether or not they could afford to estrange to themselves a booster who never fails them deuces dences of recovery are not as definite as was hoped two months month ago a reexamination of basic factors fails to any fundamental reasons why we should not expect at least an average
