HELP BUILD UP DRUMRIGHT
(First published in the Drumright
Evening Derrick May 10, 1917.)
ELECTION PROCLAMATION
Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze' o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam.
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream;
'Tis the star-spangled banner; oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where are the foes that so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and country should leave U3 no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and. slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation,
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto—"In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Building good houses builds a good
town.
Sav ea little money and save a lot
of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town
but to money.
Be a live one and the town will
never be a dead one.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When some one plans to help the
town, .plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have to
the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world bet-
ter is to begin with the home town.
The town is like a perambulator;
it isn't much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
Be like a ball player. The thing
he is always working for is hom?.
Be one of the leaders of the town,
if you can; but always keep up.
Don't be a grouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you well, even the
doctors.
Let's not be trying to stop some-
thing all the time. Let's start some-
thing.
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
Make Drumright a better town to
live in.
