STRONG MANHOOD AND

an conclusion let me say to the
young people: Though the bugles
and drums are not calling to war;
though the young men before me
need not leave their homes, need not
don the suit of blue and march to
the firing line of an enemy; yet many
of the characteristics of soldiers Must
be theirs, if they do the work that
true patriotism requires at the pres
ent time. We need young men and
women today who are intelligent
enough to see their duty and have the
courage of their convictions.
"The preservation of our country,

value that its greatness cannot be ex-
pressed The settlement of the ques-
ton of nationality, the conquest OF
permanent peace the example of
magninimity to~.a fallen foe,-these
are among the trophies wrested from
the fortunes of war by the gray-hair-
ed veterans whom we honor today.
The question for, the young people is,
What service can we render them for
their sacrifices?
'The way to honor them adequate
ly is to develop a manhood and wom-
anhood such as is possible only in a
country blessed with privileges and
advantages such as we enjoy and
which they have bought with their
blood These privileges can be hon
ored only by a manhood that stands
four-square to the observation-disclosures,
honest and incorruptible. By wom-
anhood, pure, devoted and kind, but
intelligent, earnest and firm in the
discharge of the womanly duties of
a well-ordered, common-sense Ameri-
can home. No language like that of
a life properly lived. No figure of
rhetoric, or measures of the poets
song can be so expressive as devoted
christian woman lives in every day
life.
"In a word, all mankind shall con-
tinue to reverence the soldiers of the
republic, as long as patriotism shall
stand guard at the door of home; as
long as liberty shall find favor among
men; as long as cowardice shall be
hateful and courage honorable,-so
long shall the soldiers and sailors of
our wars receive the highest need of
praise that can be accorded to the de-
tenders of the principles and the flag
of freedom

Maine Fish Planter.

A novelty Of some interest has been
invented by superintendent Floyd of
the Sebago lake hatchery in Maine
which has proved itself extremely
practical and economical in the cost of
transporting the two-year-old salmon
from the hatchery to points about Sc
bago lake. says the Kennebec Journal.
1t has been the custom at the hatchery
to keep as many salmon as possible
until two years old in order that they
may be able to protect themselves from
cusk and other large fish. The ordinary
fish cars We're too small, holding but a
few each, and it was expensive to thus
transport them. Superintendent Floyd
has constructed a big fish car after the
style of the old Rangeley fish cars to
be dragged after the launch. 1t is ff.
teen feet long, four feet wide and three
and half feet deep, water tight on
front and bottom, with rear end
gate. Plank wings 4 by inches bal
ance the car, which is Of sufficient
buoyancy to support two men. From
this car 22,O00 salmon were distributed
one day recently, which was formerly
q busy weeks work.

Phrase Favored For Coins by Oppo-
nents of ain God We Trust"
At a meeting of the Young Mems
chapter of the Lewis Avenue Congre-
gational church in New York the 9TH
er evening a petition was drawn up
to be presented to the United States
government requesting that some
phrase expressive of the nations rec
ognition of God be placed upon it's
coins, says the New York Times. The
resolution said:
eve second the objection of Mr.
Roosevelt relative to the continued use
of the phrase In God We Trust on
our nations coinage. The phrase is
one which easily lends itself to ocular
ity. At the same time we deprecate
the removal of all recognition Of God
from the coinage. Some such phrase
as God and the Republic on the coin
of the realm would satisfy the reli-
gious sentiment which is present in the
American people without violating the
keenest sense of humor. Such a phrase
would inject into the nations life an
element of the sacred which President
Lincoln and Secretary Chase believed
to be needed in their day and is por-
tentously needed in ours
