THE MODERN VILLAGE nI,ACK.
SMITH.

(Apologies to LongfellowD
Beneath the waving banner bright
nations general stands;
Inc general is n man or might,
win large and sinewy hands.
Ana the muscles OF his brawny arns
Are as strong as iron bands
His hair is crisp and black and smooth
Ills face IL like the tam
ms brow Ia wet with honest sweat.
And he fights whereof ne can:
He looks his enemy In the face
For he fears not any man
Every day. from morn till night
one may hear his bugle blow:
one can see him march with measured
tread
AS he goes TO meet the foe,
Ana full many man is lying dead
When the rudy sun sinks low.
Md many mothers weep for a son
son that's gone to the fore:
They hate TO hear the shooting guns
And the lannon's booming roar
They hate TO see the bullets ny
Like chan from n threshine floor.
He kneels upon the battle field
And prays for those mothers sons;
He hears the snap. he sees the fash
or the dangerous guns;
And he knows that some mother Is
destitute
or brave son che had once
He seems to hear his mothers voice,
Calling from Paradise;
He needs must think OF her once moro.
AS In the grave she lies.
And with his hard rough hand he wipes
tear out OF his eyes.
ToilinE-rejoicing-
Onward-onward he goes:
Each morning sees n battle begun.
Each evening sees its close:
Victory attempted. victory won.
But the general is in repose.
Thanks. thanks to thee. my noble
friend
For the lesson thou hast taught:
Upon the battle field OF life
our fortunes must be fought:
If VIC go on we shall surely win,
And find rest in Gods warm heart

ADVANCED REGISTRY WORK.
SUPERVISION IS RESUMED

that their tester is employed and paid BY
the director. Otherwise the work goes
on as it did before. Obviously this ar
rangement makes the compensation OF the
tester at the rate Of two dollars . day
and expenses as that is the wage paid
the supervisors of advanced registry In
the State.
A really competent tester will have had
to have taken college courses in agricul-
ture and should be worth the two dollars
day paid to a supervisor. Good farm
hands that cannot do much head work
are paid from $35 to s45 per month and
board. A man competent to do the work
of a tester Is worth more than q labofer.
But if competent tester can be obtain
ed for less wage. it could be arranged
with him to work as tester for the asso-
citation at fixed monthly salary. The
association could release him to work
for the director in advanced registry
work as many days as needed per month,
and whatever he is paid for advanced
registry work could be deducted from his
monthly wage paid by the association.
When the supervisor goes to a place
his first work is with advanced registry.

NEW YORK srock MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In Al
the Leadinn Stocks

New York, June 1.-THE market was
In the doldrums during the greater part
Of today's irregular session, dealings ia
pering OF to the smallest total Of recent
weeks. Traders proceeded with great eau
| ton in view of the uncertainties sur
| rounding the railway labor situation and
affairs in Mexico. The continued alb
sence Of public or investment inquiry was
another decided drawback.
Prices received their initial reversal in
the forenoon and extensive offerings of
Anglo-French war bonds caused a de-
cline of substantial fraction of a point.
The heaviness of this issue was the more
inexplicable from the fact that much of
the foreign news was distinctly helpful
to the Allies cause. 1t was regarded as
being not unlikely that liquidation of
these bonds was induced to an extent by
the belief that other and probably more
attractive foreign loans are soon to be
offered here.
Copper shares. which so largely monop-
olized operations, were comparatively IN
active, but ruled for the most part at or
near best quotations, Inspiration coming
within small fraction of it's record
price, but the zinc issues yielded to small
transaction. Interest in war news was
temporarily revived by the activity and
strength of Crucible Steel and Pressed
Steel Car. but other munitions, equip
ments and specialties of kindred char
acter hesitated, with an almost equal dis
tribution of nominal gains and losses.
Mexican petroleum made q substantial
recovery at one time. but the uncertain
conditions. attending property interests in
Me"ico, continued to initiate against ac-
tivity in shares of that description. Of
ali the leaders United States Steel ex-
hibited greatest steadiness, lowering
about its recent best price. Rails, eX-

Hart is east as David Hudson, a min.

face to face with the problem of choos-
