The automobile may be crowding the horses of the earth, but the war is help ing the job along.
 According to a compilation made by a foreign trade department of the Ma tional City Bank of New York, more than 500, 900 horses, valued at $125,- 900, 900, have been exported from the United States since the beginning of the European war.
 The average price at which horses were. exported in November, (the latest month for which the government figures for the whole country are available, was $2O7 per head, and for the entire year the average was about $2l4. while in the first few months ot the war the average was still higher, approximat ing $240 per head.

THE DAY IS COMING.

The necessity of the Sons of Veterans coming forward and taking up the work of the veterans, in the exercises of Memorial Day. etc., was impress sively expressed at recent open meet ing of veterans and Sons, in Stafford Springs, when one of the old soldiers said it is "a question whether enough of the few surviving members of the local Grand Army Post are physically able to attend and carry out the ritual at comrades funeral"
 This is an impressive and significant statement of condition that is not only inevitable but very soon to be brought before us, face to face. Year by year we have heard and read the familiar and pathetic reminder, from orators and editors that the day is fast coming when the surviving soldiers of the Civil War will be too few and too feeble to conduct the Grand Army funerals and the Memorial Day cere- monies in which they have taken a solemn pride for so many years.
 But the words have failed to make the impression that the years them- selves are bringing. And here and there that condition has already 'ar-' rived. Grand Army Posts have gone out of existence, and are going out of existence every year. for lack of mem4 bers in sufficient number, or for lack of vitality of the few survivors, to carry out the ritual.
 Tn those towns were the Sons of Veterans have no organization, the disposition of the second generation to relieve their fathers of the more ard- uous duties of Memorial Day is lament ably lacking. The school pupils, largely comprising the children of par ents who were born abroad since the close of the war, are doing their part, and doing also the part that belongs to the sons and grandsons of the soldiers themselves, toward perpetuating the beautiful Memorial Day customs, while the descendants of the veterans, in large measure, make use of the holiday for the pursuit of pleasures entirely out of keeping with the character. and pur- pose of the day.
 Must the passing of the last veteran be the signal to usher in that thew birth of patriotism" so often and so glibly referred to, and which is so sorely needed

The WuYra Wurra Club

When every seat was occupied, and all the standing room taken, the sexton closed and locked the doors, and Presi. dent MT. George Ma.her, blew his whistle for order. After the roll was called, the minutes of the previous meeting were read by Henry Scutt, and Charlie Adam sang the Opening Ode, accompanied by Principal Strayer on his diploma. Then the chair called for business under the regular order.
 MT. Holsapple stood up and offered motion that a. committee be appointed to wait on the railroad authorities aud request that the depot be moved up to the Main street crossing and planted on the site of the gateman's shansy which has been transplanted to the opposite corner of the crossing. He argued that it would be so much more conEenient to both passengers and shippers to have the station located directly on the street, and add te4 the attractive appear ance of the main thoroughfare. The motion was seconded by Ed. Please. and passed unanimously.
 The secretary rose to announce that he had received from Henry King, the landlord of the gateman's shanty, an invitation to the Club to attend use-warming, in the tnansplanted building. as soon. as the snow goes off. Judge Ford said, he would move that the invitation be. accepted. only he thought the date was about as,indefnite as the installation of the several new fire hydrants, which were to be put in 'when the water company sees fit to substitute four-inch water mains for the two.inch pipes'' in the suburban districts. However, the motion was made by Al. Herriman and seconded by Al. Hubbard. Al. Briggs offered an amendment that Landlord King be re- quested to provide a Cornpop and Sas- f'rilly social in connection with the house warming. The amendment was accepted. and the motion as amended was unanimously passed.
 The fat member got up and said he thought the Club, "ort to, org Naize some sort O p'formancef'r a special week, like tn Business Mems Association done with PaEUp Week kdunno how menny folks paid up their old debts this week, when they got their bills with them 'c'munity builder slips in lem. I know | got fine collection O them slips, an they made me mad enough t pay all tn dunn bills that come with. 'em if I'd only had tn money t do it with. An I'm told lots O people went right off an settled up every cent they owed. think it'd be about tn pop 'larest thing this Club could do t' org'nize a BoErow Money Week an ask everbyody U enter into it fir all they re wuhh.'
 "Does the gentleman offer that as motion !? !" inquired the chair.
 "Oh, no; not tall not tall, !" re- piled the fat member, just as sarcastic ally as he could. "L offer it as one O them combination toilet sets t blacken VT shoes with, tha5 you can carry i'm y'r dress suit case. '
 "Thsre is no business before tho house." declared the chair. '' A motion to adjourn IS in order. The motion was forthcoming. and the meeting was, over.

..Let us Love. One Another. !"

Let us love one another; not long may
 we stay In this bleak world of mourning some
 droop while 'tis day, Some fade in the noon, and few finger
 till eve; Oh, there breaks not heart but leaves
 some one to grievei And the fondest, the purest, the truest
 that met Have still found the need to forgive
 and forget; Then oh! though the hopes that we
 nourished decay, Let us love one another as long as we
 stay. There are hearts like the ivy, though
 all be decayed, Which it seems to clasp fondly in sum-
 light and shade, Yet drops not its leaves, but still gayly
 they spread, Undimmed midst the blighted, the
 lonely and dead; And the mistletoe clings to the oak,
 not in part, DuG WlGn l6dN6S ClOSSu aTOuu(l lb, blit
 root in it's heart Exists but to twine it, and to drink the
 same dew, Or to fall with it's loved oak and perish
 there, too. Then it's love one another, midst sor.
 rows and worst, Unaltered and fond as we loved at the
 first; Though. the false wing of pleasure
 may change and forsake, And the bright urn of wealth into
 particles break. There are some sweet affections thai
 earth cannotbuy, That cling but the closer when sorrow draws nigh, And remain with us yet, though al else pass away: Then let's love one another as long a. we stay. Charles Swain.
