its conclusion the “boys in blue”
would cheer most lustily.. And
then^ the band on the southern
bank woud respond with “Dixie”
or “Bonnie Blue Flag,” or some
other southern melody, and the
“boys in gray” would attest their
approbation wih their sky-rend-
ing Confederate yell. But pre-
sently one of the bands struck
up, in sweet and plaintive notes
which were wafted across the
peaceful Rappahannock, and
were caught up at once by the
other band and swelled into a
grand anthem which touched
every heart — “Home, Sweet
Home!”
At the conclusion of this piece
there went up a simultaneous
shout from both sides of the riv-
er — cheer followed cheer, and
those hills, which had so re-
cently resounded with the thun-
der of hostile guns, echoed and
re-echoed the glad acclaim. A
chord had been struck respon-
sive to which the hearts of
enemies — enemies then — could
beat in unison; and on both
sides of the river - “Something
down the soldier’s washed off
the stains of powder.”

Our Sleeping
Citizens
; a sad commentary of
Americans that, in spite of re-
peated pleas in our newspapers
and magazines and over our
radios and television sets, only
about half of us make our ap-
pearance at the voting booths.
Citizenship tends to be for-
gotten virtue except in election
year, when the approaching
balloting finally arouses half of
us to the fact that we can have
a hand in saying how our gov-
ernment shall be run.
The other half does not seem
to care who represents them in
county, state and national offi-
ces. These are our “sleeping
citizens.'
The voting delegaes of the last
convention of the American
Farm Bureau Federation adopt-
ed a resolution urging that “each
individual and group undertake
with renewed vigor the basic re-
sponsibility of citizenship.”
President Allan Kline said,
‘This is an election year of
great importance, when the leg-
islative branch of our govern-
ment comes up for public scru-
tiny. More than ever I am con-
vinced that we need more men
and women in public office with
^understanding, courage and vis-
ion. In addition, they need a-
bility, and the will to use it.”
Farm Bureau can be more ef-
fective than most groups in this
work of citizenship. Not only
can Farm Bureau participate in
efforts to get more voters
the polls, but it can go a step
further.
Farm Bureau offers the farm
people of America a voice in
operating this nation—not just
on election day—but every day.
There’s more to being a good
citizen than just voting. But
getting our the vote is the prob-
lem facing us right now.
In Farm Bureau’s effors, the.
emphasis will be on getting out

The Sun Beams met in the!
home of Nancy Stapleton on

school which was held a few
weeks ago. Each child is looking
forward to next years school.

invite her to come back and be
with us in our meeting which
will be with Mrs. Nancy Good-
win, Friday afternoon, at 4 o’-
clock. We invite all children to
come and be with- us. They will

YOU GET WHAT

One of our good dealer friends
has the following bit of philo-
sphy acked up on his wall for
all his customers to see. These
few words of John Ruskin pack
a punch as fara s wise buying
is concerned and also sum Up
the aim of Wilson’s — which is
to serve you with quality pro
ducts, not bargain buys!
“It is unwise to pay too niuch,
but it is worse to pay too little.
When you pay too much, you
lose a little money — that is all.
When you pay too little, you
sometimes lose everything, ^be-
cause the thing you bought Ayas
incapable of doing that w|fi4ch
it was bought to do.
“The common law of business
balance prohibits paying a little
and getting a lot . . . and it can’t
be done. If you deal wit the
lowest bidder, itis well to add
something for the risk you EUn.
And if you do this, you will haye
enough to pay for something
better.”
