few things that they had previously
overlooked. The election is now over
and gone, and Palisade, coming out
at the little end of the horn, thanks to
und1plomatic handling of her oppor-
tun1t1es, IS now confronted with the
matter Of trying to hold her own
against an opposing council, so that if
we want anything, we shall have to
ask for it very humbly or go without
1t sometimes pays to be humble. Only
the proud do not value the art and
good sense of being humble but these
should be reminded of that old adage,
Pride always goes before fall"
Palisade has not lost any of its inher-
ent charm of location or people. 1t is

Whenever eczema is present on
body, limbs or scalp, the first demand
is for something to stop the continual
itching. This poslam does with the
first application.
In trying the sample of poslam-
which is mailed free to any one upon
request by the Emergency Labora-
tories, 80 West Twenty-hfth street,
New York City-it is best to use it
on small surface and compare in

WHERE IS SOMEWHERE?

A popular religious song often in
vites the same criticism as a popular
street ditty. Governor Wilson, of
New Jersey, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, feels his sense of the fit
ness of songs outraged by The Beau
tiful Isle of Somewhere which he
characterizes as silly, without poetry
or sense.
1T is the fate of so many songs,
secular and religious, that fetch the
emotions keenly by their plaintive
rhythm or by some wild note of
yearning to be linked with words that
indicate intellectual tenuity.
1T seems to be beyond help. A
musician and a poet seldom dwell
under the same hat Music has, in
fact, nolhing to do with words. it
spurns them. All the Suwanee River
has to say, it conveys to the ear and
the heart without the alphabet There
must be syllables, so there are verses
i'll the 'Suwanee River but how in
adequate!
The Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere
in its melody is exquisite; the hearer
(and the singer drift away on its
chorus, as lightly as thistledown; its
joyous notes bid farewell to care;
grief takes wings; the song itself
seems winging aloft in an atmosphere
cf bliss. This is the articulated &C
compartment to the music:
Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the song birds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives and all is well.
Chorus
Somewhere, somewhere,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere,
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere
Where is this beautiful isle of
Somewhere? rather testify asks Gov
ernor Wilson What does it mean
His criticism IS probably not so de
served as it might be for other songs
that are really vague in sentiment"

VILLAGE DISSENSION.

Hubbard, there is a GOODNESS and in
difference existing among residents

the place
Such villages have from three to
nine churches, and the people who
attend one church seldom, if ever, go
to the other.
Around each little denomination
swings a circle clique that looks down
on the others, and disdains and po-
litely thwarts and blocades to the ex-
tent OF its ability all the other similar
social cliques in the village.
There is a public school, but not
one parent out of twenty ever visits it
or takes the least interest in its work
or methods
Religion business and society in
your average village is competitive,
not cooperative, and such thing as
a communism of thought purposeful
and ideal, does not exist even as a hy-
