Extracts from the Address oi
Rev. B. N. Murrell

Extracts from the Address of
Rev. B. N. Murrell
The race, that forgets God, is
soon forgotten.
Whatever our calling, so long
as we lack self-reliance and de-
pend on each other, we shall be
dependent. ..,
If you are not honest, decent
and respectable; take your seat
with those who are not. Be real!
We must discover our own
weaknesses and make amends.
Girls should get ready for the
great responsibility of woman
hood, and contribute to the gen.
Grafton to follow.
Let the results of your efforts
be measured with those of the
other races. Be efficient!
Be honest! Lay claim only to
that which you have earnestly
and honestly obtained, and al
ways respect the possessions of
the other man.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
Two Killed and Two Wounded by Z
Desperate Negro.

Clarence ]. Pierce, $50 Humboldt
Ave-, was shot and killed by Shorty
Hawkins on Aug. 18, who also
wounded two other Negroes. A wom-
an caused the shooting. After he
eluded the officers he went to the
home of Robert Davis and killed him
because he refused to shelter him.
Both Davis and Pierce are well
known. Pierce was a paperhanger
and a we'll hammered and hard work
ing young man. He resided with his
parents. Davis is the son of late R.
H. w. Davis, the teamster. He had
but one arm, and lived with his
mother. The police are looking for
Shorty" and have offered reward
for him dead or alive. This was the
unfortunate ending of the "Field
Day" of Zion Baptist Church. Many
of the tough characters were present.

NEGRO HEALTH.

1t is very important that all Sec
tions of the country work together in
arranging conditions that will better
enable all races to live in mutual
helpfulness and confidence; but it is
still more important that the races
work together for the attainment of
this end. There must be cooperation
between the health authorities and
Negro leaders, such as physicians.
minister's. and teachers. Negro doc
tors and nurses are increasing. MANY
hospitals and nurse-training schools
for Negroes are being founded. and
all are being approved by many lead
ing Southerners. Splendid assistance
and cooperation have been given by
white physicians and public health
officers. Negroes themselves take
great interest in solving health and
sanitation problems, thus decreasing
their mortality. Leaders are devel-
oping who take pride in directing
their race in any endeavor, and watch
all development with great interest.
The race is amenable to teaching,
instruction. and direction in the health
and sanitation movement. and in a
number of instances Negroes have
cooperated with the whites in stamp
ing out plaques and epidemics. The
Negro should not only cease to be
an actual menace to the white race by
being a favorable bed for disease. but
by proper teaching should become a
valuable ally in stamping out dis
eases prevalent among both races,

CONGRESSMAN
FAVORS SHORTER HOURS
FOR THE MAN WHO
TOLLS.

Congressman Thomas D. Schall,
representing the Tenth Minnesota
district, has taken up the defense OF
the man who tolls and has been given
keen attention. Congressman Schall
says:
Yesterdays mistake warns us
against the blunder of tomorrow.
Our mistake in the past has been an
endeavor to transform our workers
into high speed machines, without re-
gard for the economic waste to the
worker or to the race. Faster, faster.
faster, pile up the garments; heap no
the profits, no matter if rest and
health and proper food be denied the
weary laborer; no matter if girlish
forms be withered and the promise Of
our national motherhood is blighted;
no matter if the cheeks pale and the
chest becomes hollow.
Cheap Labor Not Prosperity.
"Cheap labor and long hours have
not helped to bring prosperity. The
laborer goes home at night too
weary to think after a long day of
toll, at underpaid wages, to a meanly
furnished, dark, unsanitary home, a
scant unnourishing supper and hum
py comfortless bed. He wakes early
dons his sweaty clothes and with
hem the hopeless, disspirited thoughts
that envelop them. What chance for
him to expand, to improve his mind.
to enjoy Gods fresh air and sunshine? ?
ut is not the question altogether
to the employer, how many shoes
are made, but how many shoes are
sold. Let US look to it that fewer of
our countrymen have shoeless feet.
With more leisure, more time for re-
Election, comes desire for improve
ment, for better living. S.. I
Greatest Good Real Aim.
Every man should have the right
to work, the right to sleep and the
right to play. The problem that con-
fronts the United States today is to
tighten the burden of the working
classes. The ideal of our country can
never be realized, we shall never cap
ture the spirit of liberty, while half
the people are starving and the other
half faring sumptuously every day"
Every movement toward the shorter
day for the laboring man is a move
ment toward his nfranchisement. ,

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The Nationa al

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-12-19
Your Body Is Like Your Furnace.

Ii you ever get very tired and want TO
know how TO rest up, there is very
helpful article in the December American
Magazine which gives some tips about
resting. The writer SAYS
"Now everyone who has tended fur
mace knows that il he We're TO keep on
burning coal without ever shaking down
the refuse, he would soon have a bed OF
cinkers, and the fire would 60 out. Your
whole body, brain and Drawn, Is built on
the furnace principle, II YOU keep on
using your hands or your head for a long
time at stretch. clinkers begin To ae'
cumulate-only we call them waste
products in this ease--and your fire
ilickers and burns how, That Is fatigue
at is the business OF the blood to keep
these waste products cleared out, Any
single drop of blood makes the rounds OF
your body in less than thirty seconds,
picking up infinitesimal clinkers on the
fly and whizzing them 10 the organs OF
exeretion, kidneys and lungs, where 1t
discharges them.
"If the blood were only able TO sweep
out these waste products as fast as they
are formed, we would never be tired.
But. instead. they accumulate, and soon
we have muscular or nervous fatigue.
The latter comes more quickly because
the nerve cells are more susceptible than
the muscles"

Does Thrift Alone Make You Rich?

Arnold Bennett, the distinguished Brit
ish essayist, says in the December num-
Der of the Womans Home Companions
"There are thousands and tens OF
thousands of such excellent persons in
America and Europe and other less Tor
tunate parts of the planet, Their chief
boast and satisfaction is that they have
something up their sleeve or to put 1t
differently, an umbrella neatly folded
and ready to open. for rainy day. Look
at them in the mass, and ask yourself
whether sincerely you can call them rich
in any decent meaning of the term. DO
they think rich, do they act rich, do they
smile rich? They do not. They are not
rich. They have not even the merit OF
being openly poor. They are neither one
thing nor the other They are the eau
tious ones, selfdenying and secretly en-
vious.
mind, do not object to thrifty hab-
its. Positively, practice them. l deem
them proper item in existence. All |
say is that thrifty habits alone never did
and never will make anybody truly rich,
and that if they become the main inter
est of life, their influence is apt to be
narrowing, dessicating, and impoverish-
ing"

Sees Transformation of Vermont.

George Frederick Wells, a graduate OF
the University of Vermont, and for
merly general secretary of the move
ment to combine churches in several YER
mont towns, has written an article for
the Boston Transcript about conditions
in Vermont in which he says:
"The state is in a condition of rapid,
almost violent, industrial and social
change There are now six times as
many towns in Vermont having popu-
lation of 1000 Or more than in 1880.
The exact proportion is six TO 81. The
urban and suburban population is grow
ing more rapidly than the rural popula-
ton is decreasing. While rural towns
are becoming suburban and urban, and
many of the hill towns are becoming de-
pleted of population and are growing to
forests, in the intermediate class OF
towns farming is becoming so much
more scientific and intensive that the
sum total of farm products was never
greater than now, and there is constant
increase.
People are just beginning to know
how to adjust themselves to the natural
resources and to the new industrial civ
ilization which begins to pulsate in the
Green mountain valleys as in the rest OF
the world. New railroads and trolley
lines, rural telephones. and free mail
routes, the cooperative creamery, the
town system of schools providing num-
erous excellent public town high schools,
the grange and other farmers organiza.
tions, thriving summer hotels, improved
highways. and various other agencies are
making of Vermont new state"

story with point which will

neys. My back ached, and | had

Mr.. Adams gave the above
statement on Aug. 20, 1912, and
on Nov. 8, 1915, he added: 81

ATTEMPT TO STAB.
Causes Burlington Man to Be Sent to
House of Correction.

Burlington, Dec l9.-Harry Vernon,
who has spent most of his time in jail
since his arrival in Burlington, was SEN
fenced by Judge Palmer yesterday in
city court to serve not less than one,
nor more than two years at the house
of correction in answer to his plea of
guilty to charge of assault.
Vernon attempted to stab man who
was endeavoring to eject him from a
boarding house on King street after YER
non in an intoxicated condition, had
made himself obnoxious to the woman
who kept the house.
Vernon was reea sed from jail only
a few days ago after serving term of
80 days for breach of the peace as
result of throwing stones at windows
OF the Burlington inn on Battery street.
As soon as he was out of Jail he applied
to Mrs, Anna Haven, who conducts a
boarding house at King and Champlain
streets for board and on his hard luck
story, and not knowing his record, she
consented to trust him for board.
Saturday afternoon after drawing his
first money Vernon went to the house
in an intoxicated condition, it is said,
and started in to abuse Mrs. Haven.
At supper time he made things worse.
Oscar Willis and Michael Hourihan, who
are stationed here at the naval recruiting
station, were fortunately around and at
the request of Mrs. Haven started to
eject Vernon, who drew knife and went
in to stab Willis, but found a difficult
proposition on his hands. The sailor
grabbed the knife by the blads and
broke it off at the hilt.
Willis was cut about the hands but
he and Hourihan were successful in get
ting Vernon out of doors where he made
getaway.
The police later located Vernon at the
Montreal house and took him to the
lookup.
