WILSON'S MEMORIAL ON U. S.
MARINES,

In his address at the funeral service
OF the United States marines who were
killed in the occupation of Vera Cruz
President Wilson did not make attempt
to reach the heights of oratory, nor did
he attempt to make great play upon
the idea of patriotic devotion he gave,
instead, a quiet, forceful and thoughtful
statement that fitted the occasion most
completely. There probably were those
who were disappointed at the lack of
oratorieal flourish in the presidents adj
dress yet the vast majority, if the
newspaper reports be an accurate indi-
Gator, were more impressed than they
would have been had the speakers
thought been lost in haze of oratory.
These latter went away with deeper
patriotism in this country of ours, with
a more sincere sense of sorrow over the
loss of American lives in the occupation
of Vera Cruz. Therein President Wilson
accomplished his purpose. So, while the
address perhaps will not go down in
history as masterful effort in oratory
it will long be remembered as sincere
outpouring from the heart of gentle
man of deep feeling and of the finer
sensibilities.

Electric Wiring and Garbage Removal.
p. 0. Wheaton's application for per-
NIT to do some wiring in Lords alley
brought to light the fact that there is
no qualified wiring Inspector in the city's
service at the present time and that
the services of an inspector, although
available last year, were seldom, if ever,
in demand. 1t seemed to be the sense of
the board that most drastic measures
for the enforcement of both the build
ing and wiring ordinances would tend
strongly to reduce the fire risks around
the city. While commencing the build
ing inspector for his faithful application
to duty, the board favored a construc-
ton of the ordinance that would provide
for rigid inspection of a building after
as well as before its erection. With the
consent Of the other aldermen, Chairman
Bancroft instructed the legislative COM
mittee TO investigate the feasibility of
certain changes in the ordinances and to
report at an early date.
Alderman Cook was the leader in a
discussion of the garbage removal ques-
ton. He told of what had been accom-
plished in other cities and urged that
steps be taken to institute a system
here in Barre. On his motion the health
committee was instructed to investigate
the expense of removal system and to
confer with the health officer.
Chief Sinclair's report for April re-
ferred to six arrests, all of which were
for intoxication. The report was accept

intendent II. +. Reynolds for April The
street and water committees, reporting
on the petition OF several citizens for
the extension of the water and sewer
mains on Merchant street, advocated
compliance with the request and recon-
mended that the expense be shared

reports were accepted and the recon-
mendations ordered carried out A reso-
luton authorizing the appropriation of

Caring for Public Monuments.

Public attention was recently drawn
in Buffalo to the Mckinley monument
which was decorated with public eere-
mony on the anniversary of the birth of
the lamented president who is COM
memorated in this memorial erected by
the state. One of the daily papers called
attention to the grimy and diseolored
surface OF the monument, and very per-
tinently suggested that it be given a
cleaning. Ii was discovered that there
is no definite authority vested with the
care of the monument, and no provision
made for its maintenance or repair. Here
is a reminder of need that is felt in
almost every community where there is
public memorial An examination of
any considerable humber of public me-
MORALS will verify the statement that
the ma jority of them are black and dis
colored TO a greater or less degree, and
in need of thorough spring cleaning. In
most cases, there is nobody interested in
cleaning or preserving the monument,
and no fund with which to repair it. In
Bloomington, ILL.,, committee appointed
to examine the old soldiers monument
reported that it was so weatherbeaten
and dilapidated as to be beyond repair
The proper attention to it in years past,
would probably have insured it many
more wears OF life. No matter what
the material of which they are built,
public memorials viii need future care.
and every one that is erected should
have definite provision made for its
maintenance, cleaning and repair.
Definite and legally binding arrange
ments should be made at the time OF
dedication to place this duty with some
responsible authority, so that we may
have monuments of some other color
than black.-From The Monumental
News.

Shawnee Team Pulls
Off a Startling Stunt


Other baseball teams l:ave beaten
Chickasha through luck and some by
better ball playing. However, the
Shawnee team established a precedent
and Chickasha takes of their lids to
that aggregation All this, not be-
cause Shawnee won the game, for such
lid lifting on that score is not due.
1t is the stunt pulled after the game
and which was discovered some day
or two later that marks the record not
especially locally, but throughout the
entire national sport.
Some have even gone SO far as to
hint that it brands Shawnee as rank
amateurs. and yet that team is to be
commended. On Tuesday after the

CHICKASHA BOY
YOUNGEST BARBER


fasN 81
Chickasha is famed for many things
and can boast Of her supremacy in
various zines and get away with It
but pfphAbly the one wonder in Chick
asha that stands head and shoulders
above all in the nature OF a 'phenom
is Charlie Elliott, aged 10 years. be-
lieved to be the youngest barber in
the world.
Other BARRIERS are bigger than the
midget OF tonsorial artist, many
there are who can give you more
detailed account of how Corbette lick
ed Sullivan or can demonstrate by ar
'gnment Of points how much better a
scrapper Peter Jackson was than Jack
johnson, or vice versa, or yet can pro
duce the dope to show that Pop An
son was in his prime the best ball
player of past, present or future. Also
there are many older BARRIERS than
the Chickasha boy marvel and several
who wear louder socks and neckties
than he, but there is one thing that
Charlie can likely lay claim to with.
cut fear Of successful contradiction.
He is the youngest barber that ever
manipulated razor.
Some there are who will tell you
that he is a barber's apprentice, and
according to the rules and regulations
laid down by the International Bar
bers union he is an apprentice, but
that doesn't bother the youth In the
least He proceeds quietly about his
work in his fathers shop unmindful
OF the fact that he will be compelled
to work several years before he is
given card IN the union He is the
son Of nv N Elliott. proprietor Of the
Rock island barber shop
Does he work regularly? Far be ii
from such He is just regular boy
and being that, needs to hike Off oc-
casionally to a swimmin' hole or prcwl
the banks OF the Washita with set
of fishing tackle. Also he plays base
ball in the back lots like a million
other youngsters who are emulatlng
the famous Honus Wagner and Tyrus
Cobb, but his big feature act, and the
one in which he takes the most pride
is when he tiptoes by the side OF a
barber chair and jerks the wirey
whiskers from brushy chin with a
stroke so light and easy that the Gus.
toner is lulled TO sleep like the marin
ers Of old when they heard the sweet
strains Of music from the harps Of the
mermaids
Nor has the boy wonder broken into
the barber game within the past week
or SO. He has been at ii for many
moons little uncertain at first, pos
sibly but sticking to it with grim
determination that is rapidly LANDING
him at the top Of his chosen profes
sion.
II seems to have come natural to
Charlie in way He comes of d fam
ily Of BARRIERS. Not alone is his father
an adept with the rabor but he has
several uncles who nave mastered the
tonsorlal art and have pursued this
trade for many years. Though he l.
o wee mite Of a lad barely able K
chin a barber chair he is working
every day and promises to be the
greatest barber in the Elliott family.
