There will hardly be any call for young men
from the colleges to go into active service in
the war with Spain. and this fact must be gen.
orally recognized at the colleges. But the youth
there wish quite rightly to put themselves on
record as being ready for any emergency.
MORE NEED FOR PATRIOTISM THEN.

into fire in the present war. it can we'll be I'M

War Of the Rebellion broke out in 1861. and the
need then was for men to defend the Nation.
Then the youth Of the country threw down

Our New Creamery.

Started and in full operation after
some unexpected delays, which have
temporarily operated to its disadvan-
tage, the new creamery over on Jer-
sey heights is, to the uninitiated es-
pecially, a place OF considerable inter
est to visit. A considerable amount
of milk is coming here now and more
will come later, as the delay and I'M
certainty of starting hindered some
plans in that direction by a good

At the present time there is made
about one hundred and fifty pounds
of butter each day from the milk that
is brought here, aside from the
cream which is brought down from
the skimming station at Garfield.
Pretty much all the work of the
place is done by machinery, an intri-
cate amount of piping, etc. Powers

about 80 degrees, the separated

The product of this institution is

there being four square block prints

Rev. NJ. S. Eddy, pastor of the NJ.
E. church, presented a practical dis
course on Sunday morning, using for
his text the apostle Paul's words to
the frightened hip'scOmpany onthat
long and tempestuOus sea voyage
when he was on his way, a prisoner,
to Rome.
These words are found in the 9th
chapter of Acts, the 22nd and 23rd
verses, commencing:-"And now |
eXhort you to be of good cheer" The
speaker, in part. expressed the
thoughts that Paul was to a consid-
cradle extent a seafaring man, he
described the excitement and terrible
confusion on shipboard in case of
catastrophe, and touched the recent
disaster of the French liner as an it,
lustration.
In this voyage of the craft on which
Paul was passing to Rome there was
very likely much the same chaotic
condition, but Paul's calm bearing,
his assurance of a safe delivery from
the storm, as he stepped out from his
condition as a prisoner, supposedly
a felon in the eyes of the crew and
passengers of the ship, chained as he
vas to a Roman soldier. Here the
storms of life were cOntrasted with
the storms Ofold ocean by the speaker.
Let us developa spirit otcalmness and
trustfulness in God.
The secret of Paul's calmness when
in the threatening storm and in ad-
dressing the frightened ships COM
pany as he did was first because he
knew and felt that he was a child of
God, that the life he was living was
not his own, that God was his Faith
er, that wherever he might be on sea
or on land, all would be we'll with
him; he could say that it is my Faith
er's world, my Fathers sea, my Faith
er's storm. He will care for me. Oh
that we might have the same conf
dence in our Father.
Another reason of Pauls calmness
was because he was a man of prayer.
There is a calming influence to the
sin tossed soul of earth in holding
communion with the Father above.
And yet another reason of Paul's
calmness in the storm, was an approx
ing cOnscience, the knowledge that he
had done and was still doing his
duty, he was now going to Rome
where he hoped to preach the gospel
of the Kingdom, wen though a pris-
oner, he believed that he was in the
path of duty. In an approving con-
science, there is trustfulness, a salts
faction when we feel surely we are
doing the right, then we find a salts
faction.
You yourself and knowing your
self is what we call conscience. Not
having the approval of your own
conscience you cannot be able to find
yourself satisfied. In all the storms
here below mankind may find the
same calmness that Paul had on
shipboard and for these same reasons
we may have a relief from all that
may come to weigh us down in this
life, with the King of Kings reigning
within our hearts, and day by day
leading us on TO that blest Haven OF
rest.

after some of the members had been
unpaCking, putting in position and
inspecting some of their new furni-
ture. There are five handsomely
finished chairs located at the several
stations, a very nice altar, polished
to q high degree, and three small
stands at the stations, gavels, etc.
The handsome new altar was pre-
scented by Geo. W. Clark, and H. d.
Bryant has presented rosewood War
denis columns. The furniture is in
solid oak, simple in design but nicely
finished. The chairs have appropri-
ate Masonic emblems. The lodge is
contemplating buying a new outfit

chairs with iron frames, to be placed
about the room. With this done,
Mount Vernon Lodge will be fitted
up complete, having a lodge home Of

The First Ball Game.

Not until now, this season, have
we found opportunity to devote any
space or time TO the interests OF the
great national game. Last season
ball playing was raging and our peo-
pie never tired of the sport, but up to
last weekit had looked as though the
gladstone summer time was to pass
iOyOusly on, hustled on by Father
Time, with no scenes OF conquest, no
bowling from an enthusiastic crowd,
no base ball blood. But suddenly
there was a ripple on the surface, and
Morrisville came forth on Saturday
afternoon with renewed vigor, new
interest and an enthusiastic desire to
once more sniff the air of the dia-
mond, sit on the bleachers, roast the
umpire and yell for the favorites.
An aggregation of players from
down the river, from WaterviIle or
Johnson or both but sailing under
the Waterville banner, came up, a
pretty hard nut for the home players
to crack as things seemed to promise
at the outset, for aside from the San
tiago engagement at Hardwick on
Independence Day, Morrisville play
ers hadn't seen each other or the
outside of a sheep skin covered globe
this season, and yet the home team,
under the popular management of
DR.. L. j. Marshall, laid low in the
trenches, stormed the heights, swept
unhesitatingly over the intervening
entertainments and firmly planted
their colors-2olors of victory-.on the
ramparts of Noyes' hill. And yet it
vas no easy victory, no walk over, but
a warm engagement, warm enough
to keep the interest well up and keep
the result in doubt until the last two
innings.
The visitors had for players
Shufelt, Wescott, Chase, Mix, Col
grove, Hopkins, Billings, Carpenter,
Dubray, with Tillotsonfo for substitute.
Their battery was Shufelt, Chase aud
Hopkins; their umpire, Bicknell. The
Morrisvilles were made up of Geo.

Carthy, McFellin, Cowles, Miner and

Irrigation Schemes.

Ed Wolff and Frank Krentz have built dam across Chevelon, 320 feet long by 9 in height, with waste water outlet at both ends. The dam is full of water now. with the snow water yet to come down. It is the purpose of those interested to convey the water to the north side Of the river. The land on that side. they say, has deeper soil and is freer from al ali. From the dam to tillable soil is only three and half miles. and there is sufficient water to irrigate 1000 acres during the dryest season. The water in the ChevelOn con tains less allsali than any of the streams in this vicinity, and the land on which it will be distributed will produce all the cereals, alfalfa or any other grass, vegetables or fruits. Sixty families can make comfortable homes on the land thus reclaimed, and the acreage can easily be multiplied by ten, as more than tha' amount of water will run to waste every year, until reservoirs are built to hold it. These gentlemen have made no boasts of what they were going to do, but did it. and they are not done yet. Mail
