There are iaws which prevent a man {| from stealing from his employer or | his business associates, but there is no law that requires him to be loyal to them. The success of a business institution, however, depends more upon the loyalty of (ts employees than upon the laws which prevent them Likewise the of a government depends more upon the loyalty of its people than upon the laws which compel them to fulfill their obligation to the gov- loyalty of the people who live In It. Every citizen owes an obligation to his com- as well as a legal one. The good clitd. his taxes cheerfully and He serves upon the juries which administer the laws of the com- munity. He fulfills every legal obll- gation that is imposed upon him by his government, but there is a moral obligation which is of still greater im- to the community. This obligation consists In doing is in his power to of his community. The man who is his living in any com- munity is under a moral obligation to spend his money In such a way as to help his community. Prosperity Worth Protecting. Anything worth having is worth pro- tecting, and if the prosperity of a community is worth anything to the people living in it it is worth protect. ing. If the chance for a man to earn a good living, to live well, to give his children a good education, is worth anything, it is worth protecting. There is just one way to protect the prosperity of a community, and that is to keep the community from being drained of its cash-—working capital. The only way to do that is for the people of the community to keep thelr money at home. Every time the citizen of a community sends money away from home to a mail or- der house instead of spending it in his home stores he is disloyal to his community. It is disloyalty to the mer- chants only indirectly. It Is disloyalty to the community of which the mer chants are only a small but a very important part. This is the moral obligation that every citizen owes to his community, just as the payment of taxes and the loyal support of his government are his legal obligations, Disloyalty of a large body of the citizens spells dis- aster to any government and disloy- alty of any large part of the peaple to their community is followed inev- itably by the downfall of the commp- nity. BSelf<interest, if nothing else, should convince every citizen of the advisability of fulfilling his moral ob- ligation to his community, fe Cae The Saving Habit Is a Good Habit The optimist Is the fellow who pays Inst week's board with next week's Wages, This Is the same person who opens 8 Savings Account with real enthusi- asm, makes regular deposits for a time and them tapers off to the van- ishing point.
