Never Say Die

never Day Lie
When you're lost in the world and scared as
child,
And death looks you square in the eye,
And you're as boil, it's according to
Hoyle,
To throw up your hands and say die;
But the code says to man, Fight all you CAM
And self-dissolution is barred,
In hunger and woe, Oh, it's easy to blow,
It's the observed for breakfast that's hard.
You're sick of the game? well. now that's shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're
bright.
You've had raw deal, I know. but don't squeal.
Buck up. do your best and fight;
It's the plugging away that will win the day,
So don't be piker, old pard;
Just draw on your grit; it's easy to quit
It's keeping your chin-up that's hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten-and die,
It's easy to crawfsh and crawl;
But to fight at your best when hopes out of sight
Why that's the best game of them all,
And though you come out of each gruelling bout.
All broken and beaten and SCARED,
Just have one more try-it's dead easy to die.
It's the keeping on-living that's hard.-Sel.

The Page Vocational Bill.

The passage of the vocational edu-

to note the services of Senator Car
roll S. Page in connection Herewith.
The exigencies of national politics
brought Senator Hoke Smith into the
position OF senior sponsor for the
measure. but Senator Smith has not
failed to give credit to his republican
colleague for his years of earnest
work in behalf of the cause. On July
31st, 1916. he said in part:
81 am always glad to give to the
senator from Vermont every pos
sible credit for his splendid work up
on this subject and almost to regret
that We have democratic majority
and that he has not charge of the
bill instead OF myself"
Representative Caleb Powers of
Kentucky, speaking on Tuesday, Jan.
End, not only gave Senator Justin S.
Morrill, credit for his great service to
agricultural education, as far back as
1862, but paid handsome tribute to
the good which has been done through
the operation of the act, afterwards
known as "The Morrill, Agricultural
College Act" Nt
Tracing the history of such legisla-
ton and the need which followed of a
wider application of the principle set
up by Senator Morrill,, Mr.. Powers

Brattleboro citizens have appointed
committee to try to suggest a plan
to improve the local government of
the town. Brattleboro is live town

villages in one township as Benning-

Vermont towns are going to get rid
OF some of the complicated nonsense
now attendant on local self govern

Is TO do away with all village chart

The Bow Paddler.

Contrary to the general notion about

stands first Among Indian voyagers
he is the captain of the crew. His will
is law, says Outing.
Not arbitrarily is captains power
vested in the bow paddler; 1t is the
outcome of experience and the basis
of it is skill. The advantage OF u
canoe is, though, that, being lighter in
draught than any other known craft,
it can be taken into very shallow
water; and just here, accompanying
this advantage, lies danger which
the bowman must be able by his skill
to meet. 1t is his business to watch
for and avoid obstacles, snags, dead
heads" slightly submerged tree trunks
and shoals; and the last two are some
times very difficult to see before one
is almost upon them. But bowman
must be able to see them; much is at
