The new wing Of the Knox County
General Hospital at Rockland will be
dedicated Friday, May 4. The addition
was erected at a cost of $4,000. This
wing, which is Of brick and reinforced
concrete and which is as nearly fire
proof as modern methods can make it,
adjoins the western side of the main
building which was originally one of
the city's finest residences. The plans
contemplate the eventual removal of
the old building. and the construction
Of three more permanent wings. which
will give the hospital a capacity of so
beds. The wing just completed has one
of the finest operating rooms in New
England. and the best general equip
ment that is now provided for hospital
work. Voluntary subscriptions, many
OF them coming from the wealthy per-
sons who have summer homes in that
section, served to pay for the new wing.

A beautiful wedding occurred in
tie Trinity Episcopal church in Tai
lulan on Wednesday. the twenty
second of August, when Miss Rosa
Vertner Sewer and Lieut.. Leonard
Mason Spencer plighted their troth.
The young couple had not ex-
pected to have the engagement
culminate in a wedding at this early
date, although it had been of long
duration, but in the uncertainty Of
soldiers call made them hesitate
about the inadvisabiity of a longer
delay. The church was beautifully
decorated by the many friends of
the bride and groom, the national
colors being tastefully arranged and
with flowers and ferns was a beau
tiful framework for the bridal party
which slowly wended its way to the
altar where the minister Rev. Rob-
erts johnson, of Lake Providence,
with prayer book in hand, awaited
the wedding party. The bride. on
the arm of her father, Mr.. J. v.
Sewer, was folio we'd by the matron
of honor, Mrs. Carneal Goldman. of
Tensas parish, the twin sister of the
groom. The best man was Lieut..
Henry Clay Sewer in uniform. The
ushers were Lieut.. Earnest Watson
and Lieut.. Julian Monette, also in
uniform. A beautiful feature of
the occasion was the lovely little
flower girl, Vernter Sewer, who,
with her basket, strewed rose leaves
for the bride. She looked lovely
with her blond curls and her ease
and grace. The wedding march was
played by Miss Annette Beers and
tender pathos of low, sweet music
was rendered throughout the service.
Love is the potentate of bliss
The one strong chain whose links
are riven
With golden clasps which bind the
heart
Unto the inner gates of Heaven! +!
The lock which golden keys of Love
Can ope to Faiths imploring eyes
Were fashioned in the courts above
To make of earth a Paradise

dollars to create and maintain the neces-
sary fighting forces to reestablish justice
in the world. But justice must begin at
home; justice must be done to the men
who die and suffer for US on the battle
fields and for their wives and children
and dependents who sacrifice for us at
home. To do justice to them requires
only tithe Of the money we are ex-
pending for the general objects Of the
war. Let it not be said that noble
America was ignoble in the treatment Of
her soldiers and sailors and csllous to
the fate of their dependents it this
greatest war of all times.
The pending wat insurance bill gives
compensation, not pensions; it fixes
amofnts definitely in advance instead of
holding out the mere chance of gfatuities
after the conclusion of peace. It saves
the dependents from want and gives
them the necessaries of life while their
men are at the front: 1t deals with it's
heroes literally for The suffering that
result from their dissblement on the
field of battle. and, if they die. It makes
inst provision for the loved ones who
survive them. 1t fosters the helpless and
dependent, the maimed and disabled
and recognizes the immensely of the
Nation debt to the vaior and patriotism
of her heroic sons.

charge by the Government of an essen
tial duty to society.
Military service is now obligatory;
those who imperil themselves have no
election. The insurance companies do
not and cannot permit this fact to affect
their calculations. They must protect
themselves by charging premiums so
high that they are secured against loss
no matter how severe the rate of mort
atty may be. Consequently. the very
men who are called into the service be-
cause their physical condition is of the
best and who as civilians would for that
reason be able to secure the most favor
able insurance rate in peace time, are
denied as soldiers the necessary life in
surance to enable them to protect their
families and dependents. The tremend-
GUS rates charged by private insurance
companies to protect them against the
extra-hazardous risks of war put in
surance entirely beyond the reach of the
conscripted soldier.
Military necessity. therefore, sub
jected the most fit subject for insurance
to an insurmountable discrimination un-
less Government itself supplies in
surance at cost and upon peace basis.
1t would, in fact, be dastardly and un-
democratic if the Government should
penalize the soldier who is forced to
render the highest duty of the citizen by
its failure to provide war insurance
upon peace terms and at net cost, first;
because the pay of the enlisted men in
the Army and Navy is less than the
wages and salaries generally earned in
private life, which reduces their in
vesting capacity; and, second, because
Government insurance is an essential
war and emergency measure inaugurated
for the specific benefit Of our military
forces, and cannot and should not be
conducted for profit
Such overhead charges as agents COM
missions, advertising, promotion, loca
rentals, etc. are eliminated, The Gov
ernment must assume the cost of ad
ministering this benevolent agency, Just
as bear the cost administering all Other
Government agencies established for ths
benefit of the people.
