DOMESTIC SCIENCE
GIRLS HOLD SALE


The sale held by the girls canning
class Saturday. which by hard wark
on the part of the members, netted
the young people enough to assure
them Of sending few others of the
class to the exhibition at Springfield
besides the members of the team.
The girls opened shop Saturday in the
vacant store at 95 Eastern Avenue.
and before 5 o'clock had disposed OF
all of their stock.
Canned goods, cake, candy and
fancy work were offered at very rea-
sonable prices and when buying slack
ed up at the store the young Misses
took their wares to the customer and
made their sale. The result was a
sum of over $40 which will go toward
paying for the Springfield exhibition
trip.

of democracy. This is the issue
which the American people should
always keep in mind, the president
said, in order to avoid being misled
into byways of thought and the result
tant scattering of the force of public
opinion. Talk of early peace be-
fore Germany is defeated is one of
the evidences of misdirected thought
he suggested, and should not cloud
the vision of those who understand
that the United States is fighting now
for the same ideals of democracy and
freedom that have always actuated
the nation.
The president gave warning tina,
it should not be forgotten that Ger
man success wruld mean not only
prevention of the spread of democra-
cy but possibly the Suppression of thai

ly 1000 soldiers Of the New National
Army reached Camp Devens today
from Connecticut, coming in eight
special trains. They, as well as 5000
other men at the cantonment. will
have to go without army overcoats,

ments were turned over to the 26th

| Washington. Officers recommended
that men of the second 40 per cent
of the draft bring their civilian over
