CLASS HISTORY
by Edward Mckay

On the 28th day of August, 1916 the Eighth grade assembled for the opening of the new school year. We entered the High School room with The proper amount of humility. Our hearts Quaked with the pleasure of 'heing adjacent 10 the wisdom of the Ninth Grade; and the dignity of the Tenth Grade completely over awed us and sent our respects soar ing tC the Ioftiest heights!
 November 14tb, We organized as a class. The officers chosen were: Fred Blanchard, Pres. and Vivian Talbot, secretary. The colors chos- en were purple and gray. The vio- let was selected as the class flow CT. Laier we decided that our mot to should be:
 Sow a thought and you reap an
 act;
 Sow an act and you reap habit;
 Sow a habrt and you reap a
 character;
 Sow a character and you reap a
 destiny.
 Our first social event was on the night of Halloween when we were told the absolute truth in regard to our past, present and future for tunes. @
 We were very proud when four Of our girls were chosen to serve on the school basketball team; and we rejoiced in having the privilege of accompanying the High School in their scientific investigations, such as fireless cookers, blood corpuscles and plant life.
 Of course we had a class picnic! The weather man tried to prevent this greet event, succeeding many times; but when we undertake to

SALUTATORY
by Edna AchisOn

Friends, teachers, schoOlmates:
 After eight years of faithful work the class of 1917 claims promotion to the High School. We are young and ambitious, and our success caus es a certain feeling of pride, but we are humbly grateful to each and every one of you who has been in strumentaI in making our success possible.
 First, We thank the Board of E. ducation and the taxpayers of our city whose interest and contribution form the first round of our ladder. We hope our future careers will ju ify your investment.
 Next, we thank our parents, with out whose aid a successful ascent would be impossible. You have left us free to climb our ladder and stood by to cheer and to help Us.
 We thang our teachers. Each one of you has stood faithfully by, ad- ding helping rounds on all occa- sions. Some of these were, at the time, difficult to scale, but now that they are surmounted, we see that without them progress would have been impossible.
 Classmates! We must continue on ward and upward! On Leaming's Ladder there can be no standing still. Let us go forth to meet the future with brave hearts, remem- Dering that He most lives, who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best"

FARMER
(From the Boston Evening Tran
script.)

Ambassador Gerard has a srudge
against the "embattled farmer evil
IDENTIFY. The embattled farmer idea
indeed, by encouraging the notion
that we are always ready, has left US
naked to u enemies. In the days
of the Concord fight the embattled
farmer was a great institution-pro-
vided his flintlock. reposing on the
antlers over the fireplace, was up to
date. The embattled farmer could be
then at short notice. No
foreign enemy could be dumped upon
him by al of steamships, subma-
rines. airships, railroads. and motor
vehicles, because none Of those things
existed. His assailants had to march
on foot or ride on horseback just as
he did. He had a fair show with his
ltintlock. It is quite otherwise now.
The effective embattled farmer is
about IS far back in the past as the
Concord fight. Germany. to be sure.
has the embattled farmer. but Ger
many embattles him beforehand.
takes him entirely away from the
pillow. and provides hin, with an out
fit Of destructive material and a sys-
tenn Of control and mobilization which
is effective beyond anything else on
earth. AS against that system Of en-
battling a whole nation. the shot
which the militant farmers fired at
Concord bridge would not go very far
on it's way around the world. The
sound Of the oncoming 42-centime-
ire would quite drown 1t. The embat-
farmer, in the present stage OF
history, is more Of a peril than a pro-
lection.

A COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

The suggestion has been made to The Herald that as
a practical method of demonstrating their loyalty to their
country. patriotic citizens in the several communities or
gan1ze what may he known as councils OF defense. The
thought is that persons who, for various reasons are not
fitted for field service. and others for whom no oppor-.
tunities for field service are likely to present themselves
for some time, may be OF service in aiding to create right
sentiment and to suppress the expression of wrong SEN
of lawless and disloyal acts exists. as it does in some quar-
ters, IN aiding to prevent these acts of disloyalty.
The suggestion is a good one, and it can be acted on
with advantage to each community and to the country in
general. The United States is at war. That Ia the biggest
fact which We have before us. And in war there is need.
not alone for vigorous and aggressive action in the field.
but for the coordination of all our forces at home for
our domestic security. We know something Of the scope
of the plots which have been Matched by agents Of the
German government for the destruction Of American
property and the interruption Of the peaceful activities
Of American life. Some of these things have come to the
knowledge Of the public. The government has in its
possession other information of like character which 1t
cannot divulge. And it is practically certain that there
are numerous facts of like character which have not yet
come to the attention of either government or general
public which menace the security of our people.
The manner in which such an organization should
be effected is a matter requiring careful consideration.
1t would appear that for really effective work there
should be a full understanding with the proper depart
ment of the government, and thorough cooperation with
1t. There should be no sensationalisn1 about such work,
no disposition to make much OF trivial matters. But with
a small group of judicious citizens acting under the d-
rection Of and in cooperation with the government, sup
plenented by a larger body Of watchful persons, sus-
picious circumstances which really merit attention could
be reported and investigated promptly and effectively,
and much damage might be prevented.
The existence of such an organization would also
have a wholesome influence in checking the volubiNty
of persons whose love Of hearing themselves talk leads
1t is to be hoped that something along this line may
be worked out.

CONSUMPTION IS
JUSTICE
lFrom chicago Herald.l

Rumors of possible opposition to
President Wilson'S CONSUMPTION pro-
gram come from Washington. Ger
tain congressman are apparently un-
able to free themselves OF the idea
that there is some reflection on the
nation in hat policy. They cannot
associate the word ron the Q
connotations Of over hall q century
ago. They still cling to the obsolete
and danger Gus doctrine that the only
policy worthy Of a free people is one
which enables the many to avoid all
responsibility while the patriotic few
come forward and bear the whole bur-
den and heat of the lands defense.
They are wrong, absolutely and
dangerously wrong. Instead OF be-
ing a reproach, CONSUMPTION is justice.
1t is the only way in which equal
and exact justice-that corner stone
Of u democrats institutions-can
be secured. It ma tiers not what. might
have been thought of it In other days.
when man. things were not SO clear
as now. That cannot alter the essen
tial fact that it is the only method by
which the universal liability to mill
tary service, proclaimed at the be-
beginning Of u government and m
bodied in law, can be translated into
effective action. Call it CONSUMPTION,
compulsion. universal service, any
thing you will. No one wants to quar-
rel with a phrase. but every decent
mar should be willing to stand up
and he counted for the essence of it
which is Justice and democracy.
The congressman who, in the face
Of the great dangers and responsible
tiles which confront this nation, at
tempts to discredit the only way in
which we a make our words effec-
tive is thereby declaring himself i'm
practical and unworthy Of public con
fdence. Ills motives may be good.
but his views spell nothing but weak
ness, dishonor and disaster. If he be
in a position Of importance in con-
gress he should be passed yer by the
administration, by patriotic citizens,
and by patriotic representatives for
the type Of congressman that faces
the facts and is not afarid to do his
duty.

Furnishing the Patriot and Protecting the Poltroon =.

y Gan Editorial in Chicago Tribune, April 11.)
Washington reports agree President Wilson already
Us having difficulty with congressman who, having voted
Ahe nation into war, now are determined to keen the ma
Zion from being able to fight the war.
Mr.. Dent, chairman of the house committee on mill
4ary affairs. has informed Mr.. Wilson that it will be i'm
possible to get the selecttve draft bill out of committee
with the Endorsement of the majority.
President Wilson and Secretary Baker, who had in
~s.tinctive reluctance to adopt the only fair and efficient
way Of raising a republican army, have been converted
by necessity.
An army is desperately needed by this nation to pro-
feet Its present and guarantee its future. There is only
one way to raise it. That is by application of the prin-
siple OF universal liability to service. The president rec
9snizes the fact. Our military authorities have been
pathetic in their efforts to make it apparent. Every
pit OF common sense in the country accepts the fact.
But congress alone can put it into legislation. The
president may recommend and insist. Army men who
DO responstbls for the direction of the army may
plead for IN efficient one. The people of the country,
Syho appreciate the dangers and know how thew a be
lanet, may despair or rage. but If congress will not listen
Ind will not act, the United States will not get an army.
III Congress seems to be controlled by the evil genius of
the nation. There is a downright malignancy in the fate
Rawhioh save us a man like Hay and gave him power to
control military legislation, and which gives US a man
