ADMITS HE WAS SCARED.
And So Is Every Other Soldier Said
Col. Harmon at Brotherhood Meeting.

Col. Thos. Harmon, veteran of the
Civil war and head of the soldiers
home here gave some interesting war
"reminiscences last evening before the
Brotherhood of the Methodist church.
The occasion was the regular semi
monthly meeting of the Brotherhood.
About 30 members were present to
hear the Colonel S talk.
Col. lIannon participated in the bat
tie of Chambers Farm, one of the
toughest fights before Richmond,
when $500 men were slain. He was in
the thick of the fighting and knows
something of what real war means.
The colonel was asked for a descrip-
tion of his sensations on going into
action. The questiOner wished t.
know if the average soldier is badly
frightened in battle.
'You bet we were frightened Col.
Harmon replied. $50 is every soldier
who comes face to face with the
encmy's guns. Whenever l meet a
soldier who says he went into battle
without being scared out of his wits
attribute it to one of two things:
Either he handles the truth with GER
tain shyness-or he wasn't there, -

AMERICA REAL ENEMIES.
Ignorance, Insect Pests and Extrav,
agance, Says Official.

"Tho real enemies of America are
not to be found in Europe, Mexico and
Japan, but within our own borders i'll
the form of ignorance, insect pests
and extravaganza, says o. H. Ben
son of the United States department
of agriculture. ''We ought to have n
standing army of 100000 boys and
girls in our army of preparedness.
"ln these days of modern transpor-
tation, increasing wealth, multiplicity
of entertainments, it is well that we
consider the education that points
homeward. The boys and girls gar
den movement is back-to-the home
education, and helps parents in the
capitalization of those sacred senti-
ments that lead to a lifetime value
in inspiration and production in the
home!y but important arts of the do
nestle life 1t is not an uncommon
thing to find most of our children
even of the grammar school age, away
from home all day Saturday, Sunday
and much of the night time, and even
when they are caught at home, they
are usually in charge of servants,
grandmothcrs, or broken fragments of
the domestic unit.
"The American people are the most
thriftless and wasteful on earth. We
waste as much food products in the av-
eragc American city in single day
as would feed a city of equal size for
the morrow.
'The Boys and Girls club work is
a movement designed to help to cdu-
cate the boys and girls to be more
thrifty and economical than the gen.
Grafton now in charge of affairs The
best way to teach thrift and the prop
er use of money, is to teach through
the home project work, how to produce
n dollar as result of the mcmbcr s
own investment of money, time and
energy. No one can properly spend n
dollar until he has first learned the
language and the cost of production. !"

CONTRACT IS AWARDED
Albany Concern Will Erect HoI.
stein.Friesian Building
Dutch Style of Architecture, Com
memorative of Origin of Holsteins-
Fireproof in Every Detail

The contract for construction of the new
office building for the use of the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America was con.
cluded Wednesday with the Peter Keele,
Building Co. of Albany, n. Y. Construc.
ton will be begun at the earliest moment
after clearing of the Site which is rapidly
progressing.
The contract calls for the closing in o.
the building by Nov and its entire
completion by Jan. l, 1917.
The present offices are in the American
building and occupy several floors and en-.
ploy over 100 young women and men.
The new building, which is to be built
for A. b. Clapp, will be freproof in every
detail 1t is from designs made by A. l..
Brockway of Syracuse, n. Y, prominent
official in the American Institute of Archi-
tects, and who has been engaged in such
important work all over the United
States and is now engaged in rebuilding
the state capitol at Albany, \. Y.
The design for the Holstein-Friesian
building is in accord with the purpose for
which it is to be used-and is an excellent
example of Dutch architecture, commem-
Grating the origin of the famous Holstcn
cattle, whose native land is Holland Al
though this style of architecture is strange
to America, it is nevertheless very pleas
ing and appropriate.
The building dimensions will be III feet
by 90 feet and height of three stories.
1t affords a floor space of l4,0O0 square
feet, which will be suitably divided to
meet the requirements of the registration
and other departments, and is intended to
cover all requirements for the next 10
years
The materials used will be concrete and
red brick with terra Gotta trimmings and
slate roof. All inside finish will be of
steel, as will be the desks and other fur
nishings.
In addition to the office rooms there will
be rest rooms and toilet rooms for en-
ployes.
The electric lighting will he by the most
modern indirect systems, furnishing IA gen
eral illumination sufficient without use OF
desk lights.
A telephone exchange system with 81
stations will be installed, covering all
floors and departments, and will be in
charge of an operator at all times Ii
will be connected also with the New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph Co.'s eX
change.
All floors will be provided with pneu
matte sweeping apparatus operated by
electricity.
Steam heating will be provided, together
with hot and cold water in each lavatoIy
The location of the new building will
be in commanding position almost at the
head of Main street opposite the bridge
across Milestone brook, and facing north
on Hudson street and west on South Main
street, and will be almost the first thing tc
attract attention of all coming to town
from the railroad station and those pass
ing south through the town.

The Washington Star tells of a
gourmand of renown who, by mistake
left a highly favored cheese in the
baggage room of railway station
and soon was written to by the sta
ton agent in such terms as these:
4" Dear sir; If you do not call within
"a hours for your cheese, which we
have chained up in the baggage room,
it will be shot, Shooting, would, of
course. transform the stuff into one of
these perforated Swiss cheeses which
stand without hitching and make no
