Stand up, you men, to be shot downl Nor ask the reason why The great ones. who depend on you, See fit to have you diel Small odds to them what comes to you, Or what the reason why; You pay the price of sacrifice It is not they who diel What matters it, although you fall, That they should stand Iris Fate Apportions what is humble lot And what the world calls great. Your right is human, theirs divine; Which you must not deny; They drive you into wars red din- It is not they who diel They call you brave men, tried and true, Your country's hope and pride, But wherein lies for you the prize, When you have bled and died? Your wives and children, homes and
 lives Count little with the high Who sends you where death sweeps the air
 It is not they who diel They are the masters who commands; Your part is to obey: They play the game for their own fame, And, win or lose, you pay. Stand up, you men, to be shot downl Nor ask the reason why The rulers call for you to fall- It is not they who die.-

The markets of the South, American continent are open to us.

American made goods are second to none in the world. All that is neces- sary is to bring them and the customers together. Sentinel.

No More Vichy.

Our annual imports of mineral waters are over 3, 900, 900 gallons, hav- ing value of nearly a million dollars.
 Two-thirds of these imports came from Germany, France and Austria. Hungary and as soon as the stocks on hand are consumed domestic waters should take the place of those derived from foreign springs. In this oonnec- tion it is interesting to note that last year the reported sales from S3S com mercial springs in the United States were more than 57,00o,0 900 gallons, having total value of S5, 800, 900. The recent act witty of the New York State Reservation Commission in con- serving the natural mineral waters at Saratoga Springs, as well as in inprov- ing local conditions. is of interest in calling attention to the many oppor- tunities in this country for utilizing such waters and adopting modes of teratment similar to those which have made the bath resorts of Germany and Austria famous. There is a somewhat popular but fallacious impression that certain European waters have medicinal properties not possessed by any Ameri- can waters, and many persons addicted to the Apollinaris, Clysmic, or Celes- tine -Vichy habit might be equally we'll satisfied by waters from Amercian springs in bottles of American glass, bearing labels printed in the United States. 599, U. $.

Will History Repeat Itself?

Many years ago Greece, the pride of the age of civilization, tottered and fell because her states quarreled and did not remain in peace. Greece, in her death, gave birth to Macedonia and Rome. Years later Rome, the dean of all ancient civilization, expired because tyrannical government caused her colonies to rebel and conquer her. Rome in her expiration gave rise to the modern nations.
 Centuries have passed, as they passed ere Greece was born, and now nearly all Europe is warning or contemplating war. Will the nations but yesterday considered among the mightiest in history fall, and out of their wreck spring new supreme power, republic as dominant on the eastern hemisphere as the United States is on this ?-Troy Standard Press.

WHO'S RESPoNSIBLEf

The letter in this issue, signed "Truth in Chunks,'' takes vigorous whack at conditions which, in the cor respondents estimation, demand seri- ous consideration, if not stringent re- pressive measures.
 We are not yet ready to confess to a belief that our girls and boys are fast going to the bad. One need not neces- sarily subscribe to that belief while recognizing the necessity of a more solicitous interest on the part of our men and women, and especially parents and guardians, ill the moral and ma- terial welfare of the girls and boys.
 We believe it was Ernest Thompson Seton who said, substantially, that the most critical period of boys life is that formative stage between the ages of 15 and IS, when he is shaping his career to indicate whether he is going to make of his life success or fail ure. Another authority has referred to this formative period as ''Fool Hill, ' which some soon climb over, while others never succeed in surmounting it. It is the age at which the average boy is apt to "know it all, ," and to look with contempt upon the advice and counsel of his elders; when the shal- low-pated boy apes the vices of vicious men, but disdains the manly traits of manly men. He considers himself ac- complished if he can smoke without getting sick; he learns to swear, to brag, to ''mash," to be insolent and ''fresh,' and evento take his glass of beer. It is the age at which home has no charm for him, except as a place to eat and sleep.
 All these Accomplishments" are tine result of street education, and lead eventually to degradation and failure.
 The plain duty of the elders is to supplant the street education with some
