LET SOMETHING GOOD
BE SAID

When over the fair fame of friend
or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall,
instead
OF words of blame, or proof Of
thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head:
Even the check of shame with tears
is wet,
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In words of sympathy no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glori-
fled,
If something good be said.
And so I charge We, by the thorny
crown,
And by the Cross on which the
Savior bled,
And by your own souls hope for fair
renOWn,
Let something good be said

WALL STREETS
PATRIOTISM

At no time in the country's his
tory has Wall street ever in any
way aided the government without
extorting usual interest for money
loaned or exacting privileges or eX-
emptions in return. In this war
crisis the shylocks are no more
inclined to help the government in
its extremity than in the past, but
have shown that the demand upon
the government, for the CONSUMPTION
of wealth is just, and the only way
to compel great wealth to pay its
Just share Of the cost Of war. Let
that bunch Of wind bags in Con-
gress read the following from the
Wall Street Journal Of May II, and
then stand on their hind legs, and
tell their constituents what excuse
they have for not putting the screws
to that gang of legaIzed robbers.
Read uhat it says:
Wall Street will get the full
blame for any failure Of the Liberty
Loan and it looked for a few days
last week as if it We're in line for
a good flaying. If the Loan is
success, Secretary MsAdoo win Of
course get all the credit. The sue
cess Of the loan last week looked
extremely dubious, for which sitaa-
ton Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo had no one to blame but him
self.
There were a dozen simple ways
this loan could have been made
tremendous success, but Mr. McAdoo
could not see any of them and give
advice from the one place in the
country most ably qualified to give
it was both discouraged or ignored.
Wall Street was ready to cooperate
at any time the Secretary thought
he needed assistance That time has
arrived and Wall Street has now
taken its coat off and is going to
make a success Of it.
But before this can be accom-
plished Washington must be able to
make up it's mind about a few
things. Principal among which is
the extent to which incomes are to
be taxed and if this ak is to be
made retroactive. One Of the shrewd-
est bankers in Wall Street says he
would normally take S5,0OO,00O Of
such a loan, but that he has not
subscribed and advises his clients
not to subscribe until they know
whether, after deduction of taxes,
they are to have any money left
with which to pay for the bonds.
sit is preposterous," he says, 80

THE TRUTH

"A man who only speaks the truth
May speak but little, there's no
doubt
Most Of his time he'll spend, in
sooth,
In patient care TO find it out"

said, LAS comrades of the cross and
true ministers of Jesus Christ we bid
you God speed"
A vocal duet by Miss Catherine
Morrison and Mrs. Morey and solo
by w. 3. Atwood was followed by the
presentation by Mr.. Thyng of q pack
age which, though unopened, con-
tanned gift in money to the Depart
ing pastor and his wife After Mr..
Thyng's graceful speech Mr.. TOlman
very happily responded with q speech
full of goo dstories and appreciation
Of all that had been said before. In
speaking of his church life he said he
had married 100 couples in his eight
years parish, and that it seemed as if
everybody in his parish had been
sick at least once in this period. He
had called on them all during their
illness, but no one had returned the
call on account of his own sickness.
In referring to the gift which had
just been presented he said that
when he received any gift it was al
ways divided with his wife, but when
the gift came to Mrs. Tolman she
could do what she pleased with it. He
therefore took great pleasure in the
anticipation of dividing this gift with
his wife.
Miss Morrison sang another solo
and Garry Me Back to Old Virginia
was sung by Miss Morrison, Mrs.
Morey, Mr.. Morey and Ray Pratt.
After q selection by the orchestra re-
freshments. were served and farewell
greetings were exchanged.

PEACHAM
\ "Get Together and .sWar Banquet
Followed by Local Organization.

About 20 men assembled at the
Congregational church on Thursday
evening for a s.get together" meeting
and war banquet The movement
was inaagurated by the Young Mems
Brotherhood of the Congregational
church and was intended to bring into
fellowship the men or the town with
out regard to religious utilization. 1t
seemed to them desirable to bring
about an organization that would give
fellowship to the men of both the
churches on such a scale as to be of
inspiration to the men of each, and to
any others who might wish to join.
They arranged the banquet and wait
ed on the tables and held their or
ganization responsible for any ex-
pense that might arise. The repre-
sentation of which men appeared was
just such g one as was desired and
gave asElple testimony to the pleasure
Of the occasion and their conviction
OF the des:ra Dility of such an .organi-
cation The pleasure and profit Of
the. hour vas grately enhanced by the
presence Of Rev. r. B. Richards Of
the lr,orth congregational church and
Frank Brooks of ST Johnsbufy, chair
man Of the Red Triangle War Fund
campaign, together with the Rev.
Francis Laird Of West Barnet.
F. r. Maekay, chairmen OF the
local Red Triangle campaign called
upon Harlan RenfreW to sing the
verses of teOld Black Joc,,' and invited
the men to join in the chorus. Dr.
Richards and Mr.. Laird discussed the,
war and its appeal to American pat
riotism in terms that brought forth
repeated applause. Mr.. Mackay sang
Keep the Home Fires Bunring.' and
Mr.. Brooks gathered up the war talk
of. the evening and concentrated It
upon the need of generous gift from

ON THE FIRING LINE.
The Kaiscr's Dream.
By R, P. NJ.

(Author unknown. Reprinted by re-
quest)
There's a story now current, though
strange it may seem,
Of the great Kaiser Bill and a Won
derful dream,
Being tired of the Allies, he lay down
in bed,
And amongst other things, he dreamt
he was dead
And in fine coffin was lying in
state,
With a guard of brave Belgains, who
mourned for his fate.
He wasn't long dead when he found
to his cost
That his soul, like his soldiers, would
ere long be lost,
On leaving this earth, to heaven he
went straight,
And arriving up there, gave knock
at the gate
St. Peter looked out, then in voice
loud and clear,
Said, TRY down below, Bill; you can't
get in here
Now said the Kaiser, .I call that
uncivil,
But a welcome I'll get from my old
friend the Devil"
He turned on his heel and away he
did go
At the top Of his speed to the regions
below.
But when he got there he was filled
with dismay,
II;
Old Nick say
To his imps, Now, look here, boys,
[ give You all warning:
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
in the morning:
But don't let him in, for to me it's
quite clear
He is after my job and we want no
scabs here,
IF once he gets in there'1l be no end
Of quarrels.
In fact I'm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals
'sOh. Satan, dear friend" the Kaiser
then cried;
Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside.
If you don't admit me, say, where
can I go?'
Indeed said the Devil, I'm id
if / know
"oh, do let me in; I'm feeling quite
cold;
And if you want money. I've plenty
of gold.
Let me sit in q corner. no matter.
how hot
NO, no. said the Devil, most GER
tainly not.
We don't admit folks here for riches
or pelf
Here are sulphur and matches-Inakc
a he'll for Yourself"
Then he kicked Wilhelm out and
vanished in smoke
And just at that moment the Kaiser.

Legal advsotry boards have been
appointed throughout Vermont. as
recommended to to President Will

any assistance desired by the regis
trants in answering their question
naires They will also work with
the medical advisory boards on the
NEW draft regulations. The Gale
donia county members of this legal
board are Alexander Dunnett, Harry

the day required shall be deemed to
have waived all right to file claim
and proof for deferred classification
and shall stand classified and be so
