Five Great Men In History.

In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years Of the republic
five men stand out-George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas JEFF
ferson, Alexander Hamilton and John
Marshall. says James Bryce in the
Youths Companion. Whether or not
the last four of them were great men
In the full sense OF the word is ques-
ton on which people were not agreed
In the lifetime of those four and are
not agreed today; but everyone felt
then as everyone feels now that Wash
ington was great. He Is world fg-
ure. In mere intellectual power he was
not superior to the other four. He had
less originality and less wide range
of capacity than Franklin, less sversa-
tile activity of mind than Jefferson,
less brilliant gifts for constructive pol
icy and the exposition thereof than
Hamilton, less logical grasp and pene-
tration of thought than Marshall; but
he rose superior to them all in GER
tain massive strength Of character, in
stately dignity, in calm f1rmness Of
purpose that neither the smiles nor the
frowns of fortune could divert from
the course his judgment had approved.
So his primacy was undisputed then
and has remained undisputed ever
since.

"GESUNDHEIT" THEN WOE
Citizen OF German Origin, Patriotic to
Last Ditch, Makes a Disastrous
Blunder.

This little story, which appears to be
an orphan, is now going around:
"Tm going to the patriotic meeting
this evening"" said the citizen of Ger
man origin.
mo-" said the wife, you mustn't 60.
You'll get into trouble, sure"
But he went, despite her remon-
STRANGE. Just before midnight, on the
last street car, he stumbled into his
domicile. The good wife was sitting
up for him.
When he appeared his eyes were
black and blue, his face was scratched
and puffed, his collar had been torn
from his shirt and he looked as though
he had been rolled in the dirt.
"Ah," said the wife, 81 told you not
to go to that meeting, that something
would happen to you"
sit was not at the meeting" ex-
planned the husband. "The meeting
was all right. There were three
speeches, and, like everybody else, 1
applauded everyone of them. The
band played the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner." Everybody stood up. So did L.
"It was after the meeting. I was
coming home on the street car. The
car was crowded. Then a woman on

Japan 10 Exporting Pulp.

Japanese imports Of. pulp have en-
countered obstacles, but, according ID
the Japan Chronicle, It Is believed that
the stocks held by paper manufacture
ers generally are sufficient to last un-
til the end Of this year, while the do
nestle manufacture Of pulp, stimulated
by import difficulties, has appreciably
developed. AS result, efforts are
now being made by some merchants
to export homemade pulp.
The Chronicle states that this is
not to be the disadvantage of those
paper manufacturers who are suffer
ing from the scarcity of imported pulp,
for what they essentially want 1t not
yet producible In this country. It finds
that there is no excessive domestic
pulp that is exported.

Emily Stevens in s"The Stacker

The Stacker the big patriotic special
to be shown at the Opera House next
Tuesday, Dec. IL, is Nations devotion,
and a Nations problem expressed in visible
form. No American can see it without
feeling deeper love and appreciation for
his country than he even knew before.
In the story, Margaret Christy and
Robert Wallace have been engaged for
two years, but he shows no desire to get
married until war is declared. The
announcement is made that single men
will be called first. Then he hurries to
the altar. His wife, intensely patriotic
plunges into recruiting work. Her rela-
tives and friends enlist-her husband
does not. Finally she learns the truth,
he is a Stacker! Shame and anguish over
come her. How she meets her problem
is told in a mastery way which will Thrill
The Spine Of a Nation.

SIX AND A HALF BILLION
POUNDS OF MEAT FOOD
What City and Country Can
Produce in the Form of POul-
try and Eggs.

If poultry production is doubled next
year. as is readily possible with this city
and country cooperation, we will have
6.50O,000 pounds of meat in the from of
poultry and eggs. This will release
almost that many pounds of other meats,
pork and beef, for our Armies in Europe,
and for the Armies and civilian popula-
ton of the Allies.
If we do not produce this amount of
poultry we may find ourselves short of
meat food to just that extent.
1t is a patriotic duty of the utmost
Importance that every farmer and every
person in town do his part in producing
this increase Of poultry, which will help
to win the war. 1t is also a profitable
proposition for the average individual.
Both town and farm families will produce,
at its lowest cost, meat food for their
own use, and by putting up eggs for
winter use will further reduce living ex-
penses.
The poultry will be handled as by
product of the farm and backyard; each
flock being large enough in number to
utilize the scraps and waste from the
pickup" around the place, supplemented
by some feed. But no flock should be
out of proportion to the ground space
and kitchen wastage-not so large that
feed will become, relatively, too costly
an item. The idea is not only to increase
our poultry production, but to do lit
economically; to do itwith very little cost
by turning the waste of kitchens and
backyards all over the United States into
chickens and eggs. Fowls are the only
medium which good deal Of this waste
can be transformed into a valuable food
product

AUTHORS AS LONG WALKERS
Dickens, Wadsworth, southey, Faw.
cett and Others Were Classed as
Pedestrians of Prominence.

1t is calculated that Wordsworth, In
his many years of sauntering, must
have travelled a distance of 10000
miles. What sights he saw during such
prolonged and delightful wanderings
only those who have the poets mind
and eye can even guess, observes Lon
don Tit-Bits.
Charles Dickens was confirmed
tramp, and no doubt acquired his ex-
perlepee Of life on the road" from ac-
tual acquaintance with all sorts of
vagabonds and odd characters.
One of the most remarkable of I'M
professional walkers was Professor
Wilson, the "Christopher North, of lit
erature. ~ His fine physique and great
endurance prompted him to the per
Torrance of wonderful feats, which
seemed to him entirely a matter OF
course. He once walked 40 miles In
eight hours, and at another time
walked a distance of 80 miles In "a
hours.
Henry Fawcett, also, was a tireless
walker, and one who, when deprived
OF sight, did not think Of rellnqulshlng
this among many forms of exercise. His
was a familiar figure on the roads
about Cambridge, and there Is no ex
aggeration In saying that few men
blessed with all his senses could enjoy
nature more thoroughly than he.

Contemplate HOarders

Any one who will keep quantities
of sugar tucked away at this time
ought to be cut off the calling list of
decent people. The hoarder is the
meanest specimen of humanity on
earth today. We will bet a red APP
pie if all the sugar and canned stuff
in this state was pulled out where it
could be seen there would be enough
for all. 1t is something new in this
country not to be able to get what
you want, if you have the price.

Was a Good Waiter.

He had just reached the philisoph-
zeal stage when he slipped into res
taurant for a bit to eat. Then he
sat staring ahead, quietly thoughtful
in expression, and waited.
1t is admitted he did some waiting,
too. What happened to his order
couldn't be understood outside the
peculiar restaurant kitchen, but he
spent half an hour sitting there star

Don't Need SO Much Sugar

New England is to get supply of
sugar but not so long as war lasts it
is the part Of wisdom to learn to be
economical with sugar. Miss Terrill
says that the average American uses
eight to ten times as much sugar
as the average Greek yet the Greek
is just as strong and healthy as any
other man. There are many diseases
that are aggravated by over indul-
gence in sugar. Bennington Banner.

Southey, worn and preyed upon by
mental application and the practical
anxieties of everyday life, found his
greatest relief in tramping about the

one who believed in sweeping cobwebs
from the brain by brisk and continuous

their article in another column ask
ing each resident of Island Pond to

committe have no authority in theis
line but with the cooperation of the
citizens the situation can be taken
care of and every family get sup

should not rely on coal for fuel, and
certainly with the present demands
for coal by the government, places
where there are plenty of wood for
fuel should use it and release for
war work the thousands of tons
heretofore coming into these sec

lenient to that class of enemy aliens

just such men as Appelman who are
putting obstacles in the way of this

making greater the number of
American lads who must sacrifice
their lives. We have no sympathy
for Appelman. By his own words
he has convicted himself as a hire

German propaganda, and all for the
benefit it would be to the Imperial
