The country must have food or
the enterprise fails. The President
says: "The Importance of an ade-
quate food supply, especially for the
present year, is superlative. With
out abundant food for armies and
the people now at war, the whole
great enterprise upon which we have
embarked will break down and fail.
The world food reserves are low.
Upon the farmers therefore, in a
large measure, rests the fate of the
war and the fate of the nations.
May not the country count upon
them to omit no step that will in
crease the production of their land
or that will bring the most efectual
cooperation in the sale and distribu-
ton of their products. 1t is of
greatest imperative Importance that
everything possible be done, and

large harvests. | call upon young
men and old alike and upon able
bodied boys of the land to accept and
act upon this duty to turn in hosts
to the farms and make certain that
no pains and no labor is lacking in
this great matter.
He further says: "Let me sug-
gest also that everyone who creates
or cultivates a garden helps, and
helps greatly, to solve the problem
of feeding the nations; that every
housewife who practices strict econ
omy pu's herself in the ranks of

Presidential Dignity.

Dignity is the most terrible punish
ment inflicted by the people upon their
president. The president must always
be on his dignity; he can never relax.
He cannot sit in the orchestra or in
the gallery, away from everybody s
staring glances. He cannot laugh too
uproariously; he cannot fail to applaud.
He is constantly on exhibition. When
he travels he must appear at all the
railroad stations that he passes through
lest the impression get abroad that he
is undemocratic. The secret service
men are by act of congress ordered to
guard the life Of the president. They
shop with him, they accompany him on
the links, they sit in his limousine.

short. is not private person at any
time; he is treated by the government

erty.-David Lawrence in Century.

ing to the law. But long before legis-
lative bodies passed this law the flag
had a permanent place over the Fifth
Street Grammar school in New Bed
ford, the first public school in this
country to raise the United States flag
and make the use of it a permanent
feature of the public school admins
tratiOn.
That flag was unfurled May II, 1861.
and that flag and nine others served
the school until May II, 1901, the for
tieth anniversary of the raising of
flags, when a small one for use within
the building and larger one for use
on the building were unfurled.
This school was organized Sept. IL,
1860, and just eight months from that
day it flung to the breeze the first flag.
That flag was in use during the entire
period of the war. At the end of the
war the flag was completely whipped
out and unfit for further use. 1t was
then discarded, but not till its success

AN APPEAL TO THE NATION

A POWERFUL appeal for unity and
support of all the people of the
United States has just been issued
by President Wilson in which he
calls upon every American citizen
man, woman and child-to join to-
gether in making the nation a unit
for the preservation of its ideals and
for the democracy in the world war.
The President says the several
departments are rapidly putting our
navy on an effective footing and are
about to create and equip great
army, but these are the simplest
parts of the great task to which the
United States has addressed itself.
There is not a single selfish element
in the cause we are fighting for.
We are fighting for what we believe
and wish to be the rights of mankind
and for the future peace and security
of the world. To do this great thing
worthily and successfully the Presi-
dent says, I'VE must devote our
selves to the service without regard
to profit or material advantage and
with an energy and intelligence that
will rise to the level of the enterprise
itself. We must realize to The full
how great the task is and how many
things, how many kinds and elements
of capacity and service and self-sacri-
flee it involves.
This nation must supply abundant
food not only for ourselves and for
our armies and seamen, but also for
large part of the nations with
whom we have now made common
cause.
We must supply ships by the
hundreds, materials from our mines,
factories, mills, clothes for the
armies and the people of our allied
countries, and foodstuff in abund-
ance.
To do this it is evident that our

One never knows when he is going
to find real worker for Washburn
nor whence will come a "kicker"
who kicks from long habit and with
out investigating the proposition
that he objects to, The Secretary
likes good kicker if he is pushing
the football toward the goal. He
has respect for the kicker who at
tends meeting and openly registers
his objections to proposition, if he
has good reasons, a good argument
and is sincere. But deliver us from
the kicker who does it secretly, just
to be on the contrary side, and who
has never investigated the pro-
position.

dozen like movements. The sum-

immediate financial profit to any
body. Some of them really carry a
financial outlay with them. But are
they commendable? And are they to
be commended, simply because they
do not bring shekels to the money

do not condemn the schools, the pub

social affairs, simply because they
are not immediate money making

United States soldiers will be fight

Belgium. The representatives of
the French government who are now
in this country have urged this and
it is within the power of the Presi-
dent to ord eroour men to the front.
1t would greatly effect the morale of
the troops in Europe who are now
our allies and would stimulate them
to greater efforts toward crushing
the German rulers. We can depend
on our boys to hold up their end of
the line wherever they may go.

In this work they are showing
their patriotism just as much as the
man who shoulders his rife and goes

them is that if one throws live snake
into a fire it will stick out its legs,
which it keeps concealed under its

the scales sticking outward as the

If this city is to go forward-and
the majority have declared that
Washburn shall go forward, we have
all to ignore the whines of the
chronic kicker and attend strictly to
our knitting. He will do one or
two things. He will either become
ashamed of himself and get on the
band wagon, or he will be over
come by the gloom that surrounds
him and fall into what the great
Grover Cleveland once termed
"innocuous desuetude." There is
one of two choices for this city. 1t
is to have few graves where the
ivy grows green over the mortal re-
mains of the chronic kickers who
abide with us-or make one grand
big cemetary and bury the whole
city in it.

was as fragrant as the tropics. For
comfort deep red rugs were put down
on the white marble floors.

Not all the movements inaugurated
by commercial club are immediate
ly productive of financial returns to
the community. Eventually. they
are so productive, in an indirect
manner. The extremely selfish man
who is quick to scott at any move
ment that does not reveal to him
the dollar mark, on sight, should
make study of these movements
and take council with himself. He
would become very valuable man
to the community if he can learn to
see beyond his own nose.

The Secretary of the Washburn
Commercial club does not wave
aside every man that does not agree
with the movements initiated by
himself or the club, without giving
him trial. You know that we have
repeatedly said that there is good
in every citizen. 1t is true. But to
commit to the scrap heap every man
who disagrees with a proposition
when first presented for consider
alton, is both unfair and illogical.
Yet-there are men who have
qualified for the human scrap-heap
in city development, unless they
mend their ways or revise their
viewpoint.
