They could not know his plans the information he
had of conditions and how best to meet ther-and yet
they were telling him very frankly how he making a
failure and how much better of their iladvised
plans would be- The subsequent events show how great
was Lincoln and how foolish were his critics.
Are we gaining wisdom with the years?

American people, how consderae they of President
Wilson these days of perplexity and how loyalty the

possible solution 1t would have been much easier for

days that dark and often looked most hopeless.

school Thursday evening.
Camp Abnaki is the summer camp
which the state Y. M. G. A. maintains
and is situated on North Hero Island,
Lake Champlain. The pictures which
Mr.. Clark showed began with the
entrance to the camp and illustrated
all phases of camp life. A day at the
camp is busy one, beginning at $50
in the morning when everybody arises.
and lasting until $50 at night-bed-
time. All the sports and activities
that normal boy enjoys, are indulged
in, such as swimming, boating. base
ball, tennis. track meets, hikes, fish
ing, etc. Parents and boys often find
the question of how to have the boys
spend the summer vacation is difficult
to solve. This camp answers the ques-
tion in the best manner possible. For
the nominal cost of $500 per week.
which is really cheaper than it costs to
have boy stay at home, boy can
spend his vacation at busy healthful
camp where he can enjoy endless
pleasures. in safe, sane manner. The
purposes of the camp are threefold,-
to develope the educational side, the
moral side and the physical side of
every boy. We suggest that the par
ents of Barton. before deciding about
their sons vacations, give Camp Alb

BARTON II, CRAFTSBURY IL.

In the first game of the season,
Barton academy defeated Craftsbury
academy at Craftsbury Saturday by
the score of II to H. Because of the
wet field, and rainy. cold afternoon,
the game was loosely played on-both
sides, although now and then were
flashes of real baseball. Wallace
Abbott. pitching this first game for
the locals, handled the position we'll.
He struck out ten men and allowed
but seven hits. Craftsbury used three
pitchers in vain attempt to keep our
boys from hitting the ball but when
the smoke of battle had cleared away,
our fellows had totaled 16 hits. Com
stock. w. Abbott and Emerson each
got three hits and Sears four. The
Barton infeld is playing a good game,
but the outfeld needs considerable
training in order to cover their terri
tory and play the game as they ought.
For Craftsbury Williams and l..
Heidger excelled. The trip to Crafts
bury was made in automobiles. which
encountered some very muddy roads.
A party of high school girls also
motored to Craftsbury to see the
game.
