Mobiiizine Brains

To consider rational, scientific plan
for national defense, Secretary Daniels
has organized naval advisory board,
which consists of twenty-five experts, OF
which Edison the wizard, is chairman.
Eleven great engineering and scientific
societies are represented on the board.
No politics entered into the consideration
of the selection of these advisors. They
were recommended by the societies which
were familiar with their scie ntific and
technical skill in the various fields of in
vention, investigation or research in
which they have specialized. Aside from
Mr.. Edison, most of the men selected are
strangers to the reading public, but they
are all prominent In scientific circles; hence
their fitness to serve on this highly i'm
portant body. These men periodically
offer their services to their country, which
needs them, and if they are permitted to
perform this service free from meddlesome
politicians, this organization of American
brains, which is of incalculable value and
which could not be bought, will be of
great usefulness in developing and
strengthening the sea power OF the
nation.

Trading at Home

The St. Adams Messenger hits the nail
squarely on the head, in speaking OF
trading at home. when it says
'Ifa town is good enough for a man
to earn his living in it is good enough for
him to help another to do the same thing.
Communities grow and prosper only
when there is common endeavor to
create prosperity, and when money is
earned in one place and spent in another,
it is the other place that makes and keeps
the profit at the expense of the home
town." The local merchant has by
right the first demand on the opportunity
to meet or needs. If he can't or won't
do so, then there can be no complaint if
the money goes elsewhere.

A Farewell Reception

At Valley Hall Wednesday evening o
last week an informal reception was Civ
en- in honor of the Rev. Harold S. Win
ship, who that day closed sxteel
weeks pastorate here. Fully 200 peopl,
were in attendance. Mr.. Winship, who
attended the g. E. meeting that evening
was met at the church door by somi
twenty of the young Americans" anC
asked to "fall i'll" and go with them. The
leader for the evening was Clarence
Wedge.
Arriving at the hall the boys gave theil
salute, yell aud grip to Mr.. Winship,
who has been captain of the organization
during the summer months. The Young
Americans then marched directly to the
stage, where they joined the "Willine
Workers." society organized by Mr.
Winsbip for the girls, where they joined
in singing the following words or wei.
come, written for the occasion by Frank
Chaffee:-
We meet here tonight to do honor
And pay our respects to a man
Who came to us all as stranger,
A stranger in a strange land.
We soon learned to love and respect him,
And follow his kind guiding hand,
To love both our God and our country;
We want you to meet this good man.
He organized our young Americans"
And taught us the good we can do.
Dear friends, we all stand united
To live for our country and you.
And also a band, willing Workers;
Many kind deeds we can do.
Visit the sick and afflicted,
Their pathway with flowers We'll strew.
He says that tomorrow he must leave us,
And go to other parts of our land;
We are sure he'll be cordially welcomed,
And friends will extend the glad hand.
In our church and our homes we will miss him,
Nor on the hills will we ever forget;
Dear friends. we present to you fondly,
The Reverend Henry Winship.
Come back come back
oh. come and be with us again again
Come back come back
oh, come and be with us again
After the singing of the hymn words of
welcome were gwen by III. +. Hurlbut,
which were responded to very feelingly
by Mr.. Winship. Prof Simpson of the
l.. G. A. faculty, and V. A. Ober were
also called upon and responded in a
pleasing manner.
A short literary and musical program
was then given. as follows: Violin and
piano selection. V. A. ODER and Miss
Marjorie Ober; Solo, Miss Freda White
more; Solo, Rev. Mr.. Winship; Selection,
Orchestra. The numbers all received
hearty encores, which were responded to.
A social time followed, during which
refreshments of sandwiches, cake and
punch were served. A purse of money
was presented Mr.. Winship as small
token of regard. 1t is with deep regret
that the church and people of this village
and vicinity part with our young pastor;
who has made many friends here during
the summer. The best wishes of all go
with him.
