Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1918-01-03

When our basement was completed;
When the work of months or toll
ing
Was rewarded by a building.
Which we long had hoped and
prayed for.
Thanksgiving broke dark and rainy
And the outlook was not cheering.
All the frills and pretty finery
Which we'd planned to celebrate In
For some more suspicious moment
Were Abandoned in the wardrobes.
But our fears were soon forgotten,
When we slid into our new home.
When we braved the steep toboggan
That slid down into the basement;
Saw the smiling faces round us;
Smelled the turkey and the good
things
That were cooking In the kitchen;
Listened to the raindrops' music.
AS they battered on our new roof;
View the bounty-laden table,
Snowy cloth and leaves of autumn; ;
When with reverent mien and lowly
We were led in thankful worship,
For the blessings which surround us,
For the country which we live In,
For the benefits, unnumbered,
Which fall all our daily lives thru
Then while thankful, yes, so thankful
After years OF work and planning,
That we've finished the beginning
OF Arcadia's first real church
place;
Yet regret is mixed with Joy thoughts
AS we say goodby forever
To the first Arcadia church shack
To the little cabin church home
Where our friendships we're cement
ed;
Where our joys we're joys Of
| others.
Where our sorrows were divided;
Where our aims and hopes were
heavenward.
AL the turn we Slduu eApcctdht
Let our motto be still, Onward
Launch out into waters deeper.
Be the cry, "Still onward, upward
God, still guiding and still aiding
Now the vision grows yet fainter,
For forsaken is the cabin,
And the joyful feet Of children
Hasten to It's doors no longer;
Honk of Ford breaks not the still
ness;
Heard no more the restless stamp
ing
or the horses, tired OF standing;
flushed the sound Of barking ca
nine,
Wildly racing round the doorway
Vanished mosquitoes persistent,
With their kissing song Of triumph
AS our minds were thus distracted
From the beauties of the sermon
Closed the doors, for aye and ever.
AS a meeting-place on Sunday,
And still fainter grows the vision
For dismantled Is the old shack
Gone the penants and the pictures
Standard School and Cradle Rol
Cards;
Yes. deserted, is our old home;
Nautilies In chambered dwelling,
Moving into mansion grandeur;
Fainter, fainter, yet the lure grow
Till It's lost in distance hay
So, tenderly, again we murmur
A fond farewell, farewell forever

Liberty Day Expected to
Push Loan Ahead In Nation

To-day is Liberty Day throughout
the nation.
Celebration of the day, which is the
focal point Of the fourth campaign for
the finances of victory, is expected to
give the drive such an impetus that
subscriptions will plunge far ahead of
the total for the first eleven days, which
was announced last night as $780,,
$4,000.
The dollars of Liberty have been COM
ing forth so slowly thus far in the
campaign that the nation is s1,195,
123,8OO behind its schedule. Liberty
Day, with all its Implications as to the
idealistic purposes for which Liberty
Loan money is to be spent, will give
every individual throughout the land
an opportunity to determine how far he
is responsible for the deficit and pre-
cisely what his share is of the $780,
1913 800 which has yet to be raised by
October 19.
Commenting on the way the inspira-
tion that is caused to-day by the pa
rades and festivals in every city is
needed to help overcome a menacng
situation on the financial front, the
Treasury review last night said:
ain the face Of high official pleas for
united support of the loan and en-
phatic declarations that peace talk
should not cause slackening of sub
scribing, this result and the outlook for
e aL ~
disappointing.
Subscriptions Not Withheld.
"Inasmuch as the belief is prevalent
in some quarters that reports on sub
scriptions are being withheld in an en-
deavor to create bear impress /on, it
seems proper to explain the manner in
which the official figures are obtained
and made public. Every afternoon ut
8 o'clock, Washington time, the twelve
Federal Reserve Banks of the country
report to the Treasury Department
every subscription made through incor-
porated banks and trust companies on
which deposits of 10 per cent. have
public absolutely without change. The
whole truth of the situation is told BY
the figures, and they speak for them
selves"
Briefly stated, the situation tonight
is that o32,0OO,0OO must be subscribed
on every one of the remaining work
ing days of the loan if the total asked
for by Secretary McAdoo is to be OBJ
tanned"
Only 81 per cent of the national
quota of s6,o0O,0oo has been subscribed
And in the New York Federal Reserve
district only 2s.5 per cent of the allot-
ment has been filled, compared with
All per cent in the corresponding
period Of the third loan. This district
in eleven days lent s5l3, 1877 400 to the
nation. showing a gain of s68 672. $50
for Thursday, which is the largest off
cial increase yet recorded for this dis
trlct. The statistics announced last
night showed that New York's achieve
ment, though still far behind what was
expected, is slightly improved The
district has now subscribed 49 per cent
of what it was schedulea to, against
