we can say with Webster, "The past
at least is secure.
There are problems enough here in
| our midst-the assimilation of immi-
grants, the issues between labor and
capital, the government of municipal
tiles, the railroads, taxation, the cur
rency, etc. They will be solved with
| time and patience. But we need en-
| Hghtenment as to the greater question
of our international relations. As the
good citizen owes his support of law
and order to the community in which
he lives, so this nation owes to the
nations of the earth that she do her
part in the progress of civilization. We
are prominently a peaceful people. At
the end of the civil war all Europe
looked on with amazement at your
peaceful disbanding. European states
men predicted that your five years Of
army life would give You a taste for
military glory in military power, and
that you would select some dictator
who would create anempire on the ruins
how eager you were to take off the
blue uniform and again don citizens
clothes, and that General Grant ut
tered his famous dictum, Let US have
peace!" But as every great city must
have its army of police, so must the
great civilized powers maintain ade-
world. Sentimentalists and economists
will object. They shudder at war and
draw back from expenditure, yet the
cost of battleships may save a thou
sandfold more of treasure in the pro-
lection of our coasts, and the policy
of peace at any price is always ex-
plated in the end by the bloodiest
wars,-wars which might have been
avoided by firmness and preparedness,
After referring to the struggles in Rus
STA and China, the speaker closed with
tribute to the late Comrade Charles
F. Branch, referring to his high char
acter and highly honorable record as
a soldier and as citizen.
HATFIELD's MEMORIAL ExER-
CISES.
There was a large attendance at the
Memorial day exercises at Academy
hall in Hatfield yesterday. c. K Nor
ton presided and prayer was offered by
Rev. R. NJ Woods. Several selections
were rendered by the school children
under the. leadership of Miss Almer
Bridgeman, the musical director of the
public schools. After the reading of
the roll of honor an interesting address
was given by Representative Frank K
Hosmer of Amherst, followed by the
decorating of the graves Of the soldiers
in the cemetery by the comrades under
the escort of a band from Springfield.
The band also played several selec-
tons in front of Memorial hall, and |
the children placed their flowers upon
the common in memory of the I'M

THE BRIGHT SIDE

OF life. 1t Is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make US more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And wht
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
~ be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager.
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE's PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
tbs nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex>
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has Sach a record of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, SAYS Il have
much pleasure in stating that /
have used it in cases OF debility
and found it to be a very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing

The Springfield Republican has the
following references to Hon. Frank A.
Hosmer, formerly president of Oahu
College:
The members of the E. NJ. Stanton
Grand Army post, the Mason W.
Tyler camp of Sons of Veterans and
their auxiliary and the Woman's Re
lief Corp assembled at the North Am
herst church at 1890 yesterday morn
ing, and with the others present, filed
the church to overlooking, while the
orator of the day, Representative
Frank A. Hosmer, delivered stirring
address. The church was deliberately
decorated for the occasion with lilacs,
white spireas, ferns and potted plants.
The walls were hung with flags, laurel
wreaths and notices appropriate for the
day. The committee in charge Of the
decoration was: George Spear, Mrs.
Luther Bates, Mrs. Hall and Rev. B.
F. Gostin and Charles Russell. Dinner
was served at noon in parish hall by
the people of North Amherst to 225.
The Ladies Aid Society of the church
had the dinner in charge, they being
assisted by the wives of the veterans.
Representative Hosmer in his address
spoke in part as follows:
Upon the occasion of laying the cor
nerstone of Bunker Hill monument, in
1925, Daniel Webster addressed a body
of Revolutionary soldiers in words
familiar to US all: 9 Venerable men:
You have come down to US from a
former generation l use no such
language in addressing you today, be-
cause you are not yet old men. You
were boys when at the front, and boys
you shall be today. You have laid
flowers upon the graves of the dead
and made them fragrant with memories
of the past. Each little flag with its
stars and stripes reflects the monday
sun. All is bright and beautiful. It'll
is not an occasion of sadness or mourn
ing-there is a solemn joy in achieve
ment. 1t is yours by right, and today
the nation delights to do you honor. |
There is no more glorious badge than
the bronze star of the Grand Army.
We whose happy lot it is to dwell in
this green valley of the Connecticut
have a just pride in local history. The
story of Mortified, Northampton, the |
Hadleys and Amherst is an honorable |
chapter in our nation s history. The |
early settlers here, or in other parts |
of the colonies, were of sturdy stock. |
They developed from their surroundings |
a grim humor and keen directness
which occasionally shines forth from
the parish and town records and State !
logic with which the gov
ernors of the crown could not cope. |
Their bravery and loyalty to the mother
country in the wars with France won
for them respect, and when George III.
offered Lord Amherst the command at
Boston to suppress the growing revo-
luton, the doughty old general re-
fused and one of these towns, Am
herst, has retained the honorable name
and shared it with the college. In the
great crisis of our national develop
ment that same sound Judgment of your
colonial ancestors has remained, andi

the thirsty lowlands and on to the Pa
cific. Denied the great boon Of a cop
ious rainfall, the genius of man has
taken the mighty river that traverses
Idaho for 800 miles. and by cunning art
has brought it out of the rock-walled
canyon. on to the once arid fields where
sun and soil and water together CON
quer the desert almost at breath
The Snake river has two principal
branches. The North Fork rises in
Henry's lake in Idaho just west of the
Yellowstone park. and the South Fork
rises in the Yellowstone park; flowing
first south for $50 miles on the east side
of the Teton range. It then breaks
through this mighty range of granite
and turns back on its track and flows
northward nearly the same distance un.
til it meets the north fork Of the river
near Rexbug, in Fremont county. Af-
ter the south fork breaks through the
Tetons it enters broad fertile valley

the center of one of the earliest and
most profitable sections Of irrigated land

Millions Invested.

To give the Journal readers some idea
as to this great cost it is well to call
their attention to the fact that the ir-
rigation and power projects now being
installed in this, Lincoln county, alone
have an initial cost Of twenty millions of
dollars. The irrigation, power and rail
way projects ali the direct results of
the development of the great resources
Of the middle Snake river valley and
now actually in course Of construction
will aggregate at least forty millions Of
dollars. All Of this is being accomplish
ed in three counties. Lincoln, Twin Falls
and Cassia.
If this article reaches some eastern
reader who wishes to seek a location
where such vast sums of money are
being spent just in developing the nat
ural resources of a small section Of Il
new state the Journal would suggest to
him that possibly there is an opening
for him to get in here ard share in the
prosperity this must bring with it. For

South Central Idaho a New Field

But the middle valley is the portion
that is today receiving the attention Of
the entire world on account Of the mag
nifcent irrigation schemes being car
ried out in it. The soil and climate Of
this section Of the valley are unsurpass-
ed in Idaho or any other state. The
reason these sections have been left so
long undeveloped is that it required
nothing short Of millions Of dollars to
erect the necessary dams and works to
get the river up onto the lands, and
Idaho was short just S999, $3.50. She
had the four bits and plenty ofgrit and
nerve. SO she started to work to interest
capital. She has succeeded and today
a million acres of these lands are either
under water or are rapidly being placed
