THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Mount Dora Topicl .

AMOHHb Dora lOplCJ
At any great crisis in our national
life. patriotism runs high, ana cur
aae seems more dear to us than az
any other time. And as We feel an
added thrill at the sight of our beau
:iful Star Spangled Banner, so we
sing our national songs with feel
ing and sympathy, perhaps not lack
ing at other times, but not as intense
as in times of special stress.
We are now passing through j
very critical period in our national
life, and we are all filled with a love
for our country. its flag, and its
songs. The words of our National
hymn almost everyone knows. but
how many are familiar with these of
THE Star Spangled Banner?" Here
they are, cut it out and keep it, and
learn the words. If you already know
them, pass it on to somebody else:
O say. can you see. by the dawn's
early light
What SO proudly we hailed at the
twilights last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
Der the ramparts we watch'd were
so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the
bomb bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
o say, does the Star-Spangled Banner
still wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the
mists of the deep.
Where the foes naughty host in
deep silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER
the towering steep,
hs 1t fitfully rc'"s half conceals,
half discloses?
Now It catches the CLEAN Of the
mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now
shines in the stream.
'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, o
long may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave!
0 thus be it ever when free men shall
| stand
Between their lov'd home and the
wars desolation!
Glest with vict'ry and peace may the
heav'n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made
and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when
our cause 1t is just,
And this be our motto: "In God
is cur trust"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in
triumph shall wave
Ger the land Of the free and the
home of the brave.

lures. This will be strictly mod
ern playhouse in every respect. with
seating capacity of about 1000.
The second floor will be divided in
to living apartments. with all mod.
ern conveniences.
The building will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and will add
greatly to the appearance of the bus
mess section OF the city.
The frame structure which now
"adorns' that site will be removed II
1t is possible to do so. II not 1t will be
torn down.
The decision of the Turks Bros
and Mr.. Olson to expend betweeI
$4,000 and $4,000 in erecting
substantial block shows that thej
have faith in Montpelier as business
center, and they are certainly to bE
commended for the enterprising spin
1t displayed.

In sending $3.50 to have their
subscription peg moved up a notch,
Mrs. f. A. Wyatt formerly Miss
Genevieve Hof) writes from Cham
paign, ILL.,, as follows:
Everything Is very pleasant here.
The university is in full swing and
aside from school work everyone Is
busy in war relief work. The Liberty
loan was over subscribed, the facul-
ty and students signing up for more
than $4,000 worth of bonds. Pres
ideDt James headed the list with a
Sc, 900 bond.
THE Daily 1llini, the students
daily paper, has started fund called
THE Illini Chocolate and Tobacco
fund" Once a month we send car
tons Of cigarettes and Hershey bars
to all of the Illinois university men
in France. Just recently three OF the
Illinois men, who went 20 France last
spring as ambulanciers have returned
and have told how much the fellows
over there appreciate these luxuries.
AT the home coming game OF foot
ball with Wisconsin on October 20.
Thy the way we beat Wisconsin z
to o. had the direction Of zoo girls
who sold peanuts and chocolate bars.
We cleared s4O0. OF this amount
$3.50 went to the chocolate and cigar
cite fund. $3.50 to the Red Cross and
500 In the treasury. This coming
week the girls will sell movie and
orpheum tickets and expect to clear
5000. This money win be given to
the various committees on war relief
work.
I'm spite of the war conditions, we
have a wonderful foot ball team this
fall. We have played four games
and haven't been scored against. Reg
istration has fallen OF. but we still
have over 1000 students.
II note that the Bear Lake boys
are reporting at the training campa

boys are doing their BIT. do hope
they will be happy and comfortable
and that the people at home will re
member them and supply them with
