WILSON ENV|ES
MEN HONOREDON
. DECORATION DAY
President Says Their Work for
Liberty Ended

WASHINGTON, May N-Presi-
dent Wilson does not pity the men IN
whose honor Memorial day services
were held throughout the nation yes
terday. In a speech at Arlington ma
tional cemetery here he said that
rather he cnyied those men because
theirs is great work for liberty ac-
eomplished and we are IN the midst OF
q work unfinished, testing our strength
where their strength has already been
tested"
Will Respond Again.
America has responded to the call
OF liberty he said "and that call Will
come again with result that will hold
the attention OF all mankind
an one sense the great struggle
into which We have now entered
Is an American struggle, but II Is
something even greater than that; II
Is world struggle II is a struggle OF
men who love liberty everywhere AMI
In this cause America will show her
self greater than ever because She Will
rise TO a greater thing
Full Fruition OF Purpose.
I'VE have said in the beginning we
planned this great government that mcA
who wish freedom might have place
Of refuge and place where their hope
could be realized and now, having es-
tablished such government, having
preserved such government having
vindicated the power Of such gov
ernment, we are saying TO all mankind
We did not set this government mp IN
order that we might have a selfish
and separate liberty, for we arc now
ready TO come to your assistance and
fight out upon the fields of the world
the cause OF human liberty In this
thing America ahainS her full dignity
and the full frution Of her great pur-
pose.
Words Now Seem Empty.
mo man can be glad that such
things have happened as We have wit
messed in the last iatciul years, but
perhaps il may be permitted TO us to be
glad that we have an opportunity 70
show principles that we profess; to be
living principles that live in our
hearts and to have a chance by the
pouring out OF our blood and treasure
10 yindicate the things which we have
profcssed. For my friends, the real
iruition Of life is to do the things We
have said we wished to do. There
are times when words seem empty and
only action seems great Such a time
has come and with the Providence oi
God, America will once more have an
opportunity to show to the world that
she was born TO serve mankind

Red Letter Night.

The annual red-letter night of the
Book and Thimble club was held at
the opera house Thursday evening
and was pronounced an unusual sue
cess if success may be measured by
popularity. This mid-winter func-
;tion of the club has for many years
been considered the social event of
the season and has always been OBJ
served with dignity and decorum. The
event this year was dignified enough
for the purposes of the club and in
formal enough to be delightful. The
ladies had arranged for fine must
cal and literary program in which
Miss Agnes Hersey of Corinth, Me-,
as reader, shared honors with Miss
Foster of Newport, as pianist, and
Miss Marie Darling and Miss Edith
Lothrop, vocal soloists. A fine local
orchestra, consisting of Messrs. Web
ster, Jones, Moulton and Seaver fur
nished music throughout the evening,
opening with a beautiful overture en-
titled, GA Daughter of the Regi-
ment." In the receiving line were
Mrs Kline, Miss ellis, Mrs. Nor
rison, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Fletcher,
Mrs. Taplin, Mrs. Rowen and Miss
Richmond. The ushers were Mrs.
Cleasby, Mrs. Bean, Miss Lothrop,
Mrs. Demick, Mrs. Kipp and. Mrs:
Porter. The refreshment booth and
punch bowl were in charge of Mrs.
Rowell and Mrs. Fletcher.

Agriculture at 0. III. S.

Prof. A. G. Fletcher is now nearing
the end of his third and last year at
the head of Orleans high school, It
is but natural that his success here
has paved the way for wider and far
more remunerative fields elsewhere
When Mr.. Fletcher came here three
years ago he told the school board
that he could establish an agricultur-
al department for sum not to exceed
$1,000 and have that department on
paying basis inside of three years.
There were many skeptics at that
time and a few now, but the board
took him at his word and engaged
him as principal for the term of three
years. The first year saw the re-
clamation of the waste, and nearly
worthless, land in the rear of the
school building at an expense of 1925
for clearing and blowing and $197.97
for thing and drainage; a young or
chard set out at an expense of $27.8O;
forestry department established for
So paid to the state for seedlings; a
dairy department equipped with sep
arator, butter worker, churn, Bah
cock test; cheese-making apparatus
and dairy utensils complete at an ex-
pense to the school of $62.O3; a fine
poultry house, 12x24, and model in
itself at an expense of $50; and fine
greenhouse sufficient for the needs of
the department at an expense of
$448.12. The department is splendid
ly equipped for the, work it is de
signed to do and the total expense to
the school district has been $8O6.17.
(See school report for 1850 Since
the reclamation work has begun the
land has become valuable and has
been donated to the school by Taplin
& Rowell. The J. G. Turnbull COM
pany assisted in procuring the equip
ment for the dairy department and
Whipple, French & Company installed
the heating system for the green
house. Therefore the department is
fully installed at cost to the tax
payers of less than $1,000. The prop
erty of the department would sell to-
day for the amount invested, so that
if the district desires to abandon the
department now it can get it's money
back.
We recently heard that the depart
ment was now on a paying basis and
our curiosity led us to examine the
accounts of the school. These ac-
counts covering II branches of the
business are intensely interesting and
show balance in favor Of the school
i amounting to $35.26. The crop ac-
counts are as follows:
