High hearts made me,
Strong arms raised me
To fly while life endures;
Fine souls wrought for me.

The wide world sees me.

Your hope and heritage.

With every task 1t gives.

That covers land and sea:
The voice of Fate Is calling loud;
Look to him, world-'tis hel'
Yes, you-no other. None are boril
To do what you must do;
No beaten captain waits such scorn
For failure, as must you.

The Rockefeller Foundation has made
contribution of 100000 to the K of
G. War Camp Fund. This liberal gift is
a splendid testimony to the excellent
work which the Knights of Columbus are
doing for the social, recreational and
religious welfare of Uncle Sans fighting
men. 1t emphasizes the fact that this
work is for all soldiers and sailors irrespec-
tive of creed and that the catholic
organization under whose auspices it is
being conducted is adhering rigidly
to the policy adopted by them from the
very beginning Of doing this work in so
broad way that every man in uniform
will profit by it.
The question has been asked: Twill
Vermont reach $4,000 in its contribution
to the X. of G. War Camp Fund.-"
So pronounced Is the enthusiasm over
this undertaking in many sections of
the state that it is safe to say that YER
mont will go lover the top in this
campaign the same as it has in all cam
paigns that have taken place since the
country went to war. The task, however,
should not be considered an easy one.
Every Vermonter should contribute as
generously as possible and if all Yer
monters do this then the state will
give to this deserving cause the quota
that has been set
The campaign will open in many of the
larger places in the state on Sunday with
the holding Of mass meetings at which
prominent men will speak
1t is expected that Governor Graham
will be one of the speakers at the Burling-
ton mass meeting. The Brattleboro
campaign opens on Friday, Jan. 18th with
Governor David l. Walsh of Massachu-
sets as the principal speaker.

Columbus to raise a fund of $1,000
600 for war work is an urgent call to
support the good work the K. of c.
is doing for boys IN the service, The
Y. M. C. A. and the K. of C. are
giving the boys those essentials that
help them to keep fit" that active
service cannot supply. "A touch of
home" given by these organizations
is mighty factor in making better
boys and better soldiers. The pres
ent drive of the X. of c., deserves
the help of every patriotic citizen.
Vermont will do her part in this
work and make the boys feel that
those back home are giving loyal
support.

We have no desire at this time to
draw party lines and the Republi-
cans are unreservedly behind the
government in this war, but it is
strikingly noticeable that none of
the able men in the party are recog-
nized in administration counsels
with official positions. although the
gratuitous service of republicans are
gladly accepted in several of the
conservation departments. The ex-
ception to this is possibly the ap-
pointment of General Goethels as
acting quartermaster general. We
are not peeved at this nor complain
ing, but it would be a broad minded
attitude of the government to select
the ablest and most energetic minds
in the nation to carry out this great
task of world war.

The legislature of the state of
Mississippi has ratified the proposed
prohibition amendment to the federal
constitution. Only eight dissenting
votes were cast. This is the first
state to act upon the proposed
amendment. State sovereignty, state
rights, and personal freedom are
incompatible arguments to use in
opposition to the proposed prohibi-
ton amendment to the federal con-
stitution. Neither is it fair or just
to compare nationwide prohibition
with state prohibition. Prohibition
to be effective must be nationwide.
No town or state voting bone dry"
can maintain that with surrounding
towns and states wet" no matter
how strict the Web Kenyon or any
other Interstate law may be. A
"dry" town surrounded by "wets,'
might as we'll be wet" except for
the principle involved. Prohibition
has become more than a moral ques-
ton. 1t is vital to the welfare of the
people from standpoint of physical
fitness and usefulness as citizens, and
in this sense becomes a national ne
cessity if you wish to maintain "a
high standing among the people of
the world. Life, national and indi-
vidual, is one Of keen competition,
requiring clear thought and the
highest efficiency in our physical
makeup. This can only be brought
about by nationwide prohibition.
The people are realizing this and it
is our duty to broaden our WIS.,

of personal independence and vote
and act for the uplift of all man.

in choosing members of the coming
