CLEAN UP IN PROGRESS
Committee Plans a Parade For Next
aturday-BOnefire Friday
Evening.

The cleanup committee regret
that Saturdays parade had to be
postponed but it really seemed neces-
sary on account of wether condi-
ton. They assure everyone that it
will surely be given next Saturday at
2 P. M, unless rain prevents, and
will be bigger and better for the
reason that several people have just
found out that they wish to be rep
resented. The cleanup week will
therefore be wound up in this man
ner. 1t is hoped that all will be SO
well pleased with the result of the
campaign that a large crowd will help
celebrate.
1t is surely a pleasure to see how
the boys and girls take hold of the
cleanup idea and it can well be i'm
agined that with from 200 to 800
boys and girls working four hours
each cleaning up the yards, ETC., a
much cleaner town will be the re-
suit; indeed, some decided changes
for the better are already in evil
dence at the very beginning of the
campaign.
The committee want everybody
who has anything good to sell or
advertise to come into the parade
and why not all make this the open
ing gun of the new prosperity which
is already on the way, thereby prov
ing faith in a cleaner and buster st.
Johnsbury, town that we are not
ashamed Of.
Note-Let all who wish their rub
bish removed please notify the
Peck Company or Mr.. Douglass for
the trustees.
The committee had to order 200
more sets of puzzles for the boys and
girls.
Remember the big bonfire at the
north end of Railroad street Friday
evening.
Remember free show at Globe
Saturday following, May Is, for
school children.
In case of rain this Saturday the
children will attend the Globe free

MAKING LOVE.

The question has been raised wheth-
Ell the passing of the buggy and the
era Of the automobile will have any
effect upon the good old-fashioned
love making, doubling if John can
court Agnes with the same inspira-
tion or Agnes cuddle up to John with
the same effectiveness in a motor car.
The question is debatable. IL used to
be commonly accepted sentiment
that all love matches were made in
heaven, but this was a mistake, due
like that which declared that the baby
was left as head Of cabbage under
the kitchen stove the night before, to
the habit elderly people had of adj
herring to tradition long after IL had
been found to be groundless; of the
unaccountable human twist that per-
sists in substituting the most un-
warranted fiction for the facts of life.
Up TO 10 years ago all love matches
were made in buggies driving along
hndu1 idiitb OF SUMMER IodAos ltaGh-
ing from June to September. Cupid
did the driving and wore a pair of
yellow kid gloves. There was no hur-
ry-there never should be in such
matters-and the buggy just rambled
leisurely along, sometimes through
the yellow and mellow sunshine amid
far reaching vistas of gold and green
wrapped in potential silence and
again down dusty boulevards redo
lent with odor of sagebrush. 1t may
have been an August night with the
stars hanging in tangled braids Of
topaz fire above your two heads and
the milky way spread in silver sheen
down the heavens, or it may have been
amid the president calm Of an after
noon in early October, with the gold
filtering into drab and the world
browsing into winter sleep.
Whenever it was, field, sky and
stream seemed in subtle sympathy.
About you, as the center, revolved the
eternal harmonies. Buggies were tru-
~ divine instruments, in unending
tune with the infinite, and, admitting
some reservations, may have really
been part Of that "heayen" to which

Somewhere in France occurred this
wonderful event, incredible it is said.
And yet it happened that one day,
when all the shuddering earth was
sobbing like stricken thing before
a DEVILS mirth, baby walked be-
tween the lines, and whence it came
none knew. Then Hans choked out:
"Mein baby, ah! l think it must
be your and thereupon he dropped
his gun and leaped from out the
trench. But not one whit more slow
ran Pierre to meet him, from the
French. And after Hans the Ger
mans streamed, each thinking that
the child was his own babe. Now
while this horde of unkempt men and
wild rolled on, the French ran after
Pierre and each one called to each:
"Mine, mine, l'enfant ISIS mine, ISIS
mine. By gar, re little peach!" And
so from out each ditch and trench the
homesick men poured on, till millions
met between the lines, and not one

expectancy.
"Know them! Why, man, my baby
couldn't sleep if she went to bed
without her Sluss doll Slusskins, she
calls it. They're inseparable. You!
Well! No?" Middleton stared at
him half bashfully and gave a boyish,
delighted little laugh.
"How the deuce do you get 'em so
natural? They're not dolls, they're
alive. I've held that one out and look
ed at it, and-the expression on 'em,
man, how did you ever manage that !?
You'll Fancy! If my baby knew I'd
been trying all morning to shoot the
man that made her Sluss doll! Sluss

with her all day and in her little arms
at night. Why, if you could only see
her holding it and looking at it with
her mothers eyes!"
"If | could" He rubbed his palms
together, then held them pressed, in
terlocking his long slim fingers.

And she-what is she named, your

SACRIFICE HITS IN LIES BIG
LEAGUE.

A sacrifice hit is good baseball
Given man on first base, say the
batter lays down a slow, teasing hunt
II takes the third baseman all his
time to get to it and throw II to first
in time TO nip the batter. But when
the play is over the runner on first
is safe at second, where a good, clean
hit will score his run The sacrifice
hit is one Of the biggest, headiest
things in baseball But it retires the
batter at first All he gets is no
tation ON the score sheet. The other
man scores the run.
Baseball isn't the only game where
the score stands on a sacrifice. One
is reminded of this at this time of the
year when father and mother are
planning TO send son or daughter to
college. When you see a woman
wearing a 2-year-old hat while her
daughter goes fairly well clothed to
school, remember that girl is being
advanced a base by a sacrifice hit.
When father stays home from vaea-
ton trip which he needs badly in or
der that some new comfort can be |
added to the home or that the boy can |
graduate with his class, or for half a
hundred other reasons, he lays down |
hunt which advances the boy toward
chance TO score. In one way and
another the sacrifice" is being
worked all through the big game
which is going on about US. Some
times it is a son or a daughter, usu
ally a father or a mother, or both,
who die at first on sacrifice.
1t is good play. 1t wins games,
but a bunt needs an alert runner ahead
of it. A sacrifice" with careless
man or bonehead on isn't worth much.
The object is 10 advance the runner.
If he is slow or lazy or careless it
means . double play and two men out,
and the sacrifice was worse than use
less.
Say, you boy, whose parents are
sacrificing for you, get up on your
toes and stay there! Take lead! Go
down with his arm! Slide, you tar
rier, slidel Why do you suppose a
strong batter is voluntarily throwing
life away at first, throwing away
his personal chance, except TO put you
on second, whence a hit would bring
you home? Suppose you did skin your
leg? Get up on that base and watch
for chance to take third Ginger, ,
blame you, ginger! Get "pep" in your
play and watch the pitcher. Justify
the Sacrifice"

SPOONFUL of this simple buckthorn

almost ANY case of constipation, sour

elderly folks alluded. That an auto
mobile, of necessity the instrument
| of decadence, can ever serve the same
| divine ends is more than doubtful
1t is always in too much of a hurry
To it a primrose is just primrose
and nothing more and that the stars
are but the diamond studded pins
with which God holds back the drap-
cries Of the sympathetic night has
never occurred to it. 1t never stops
to bark to the cry of the night bird
or to watch the evanescent glow Of
FREELY, and, even if you go to holding
hands, will just as like as not run
into a ditch or a telephone pole. The
danger of puncture or running out
of gasoline is always present and
when it happens Cupid takes wings
and flies away, for such catastrophes
are as foreign to love making as the
midnight concert of Thomas cat
is TO a symphony concert. What can
be done at best with the smell of
gasoline intruding itself on the scent
ed night and the cruel thoughts that
are engendered as one endeavors to
initiate the rear tire with hand pump!
The passing of the buggy is a real
calamity to those who would make
love in the old fashioned way, and
we should not be surprised because
he cabbage heads being placed under
he kitchen stove are not near so
numerous as formerly.

And suppose after all that death
does end all. Next to external joy,
next to being forever with those we
love and who have loved us-next to
that, is to be wrapped in the dream
less drapery of eternal peace. Next
to eternal life is eternal sleep. Upon
the shadowy shore of death the sea
of trouble casts no wave. Eyes that
have been curtained by the everlast-
ing dark will never know again tie
burning touch of tears. Lips touched
by eternal silence will never speak
again the broken words of grief.
Hearts of dust do not break. The
dead co not weep. Within the tomb
no yelled and weeping sorrow sits.
Ard in the rayless gloom is crouched
no shuddering fear.-Robert InFer-
