Claude SOmerS FOSS

ga wise son maketh glad
father"
This biblical statement comes to
US in full force in these days when
so many hearts are torn with grief
by reason of the ravages of war and
disease we mourn for those who
leaves US; we wonder if all the
people of our old age are to be re-
moved before we ourselves yield;
we see our hopes destroyed and our
planning coming to naught, we hope
to see the family name carried into
the future but man proposes, God
disposes and "a wise son maketh
glad father"
The proverb seems particularly
apt when we think of the manly,
honest young life which came to it's
close when Claude Somers Foss fell
asleep as the sun was going down,
under the Stars and Stripes at Fort
Banks, Winthrop, Mass. The boy is
gone, but always will the father re-
joice that he saw him develop from
childhood, continually displaying
good sense, good morals and intelli-
gence, and so conducting himself
that the watchful eyes of those who
employed him were attracted and the
prospects looked bright, Always
will the father be glad of the affec-
ton and consideration the boy al
ways displayed to the woman who
filled tso lovingly the place of the
mother and so helped to make home
the dearest spot on earth. Always
will the father be glad that he can
write nothing but proud sentences
when he tells the sad story to that
other splendid fellow-the brother
somewhere in France
do not need to tell Island Pond
people anything about Claude they
knew him we'll but | want to add to
their opinion that of the officer at
the Hospital who said the boy in
Just the few days he saw him showed
remarkably fine disposition with
back of it an energy which made
him appear a yonng man of great
promise. | do not feel that | am
placing undue weight on the person
atty of this boy when suggest
that parents of boys, of Island Pond
can gladly tell the little fellows that
if they travel in the paths Claude
followed, whatever happens, father,
mother, sister. brother and neigh
bors can say that wise son maketh
the whole world glad.
Wendell P. Stevens.

Took Out Dire adfuI Soreness

When the kidneys are weakened
and fail to throw impurities out Of
the blood, the poison remains in
the system and backache, soreness
and rheumatic pains develop. Mrs.
David Henry, 65 S. Lincoln Ave-,
Washington, N. j., writes: "Foley's
Kidney Pills took the dreadful
soreness out of my limbs and

Vermonters should use their own
homegrown wheat. Between 300,-
900 and 100000 bushels were raised
in Vermont this year and the same
is being ground into wheat according
to government food regulations.
This wheat makes a sweet flour and
every one should ask for Vermont
grown wheat flour. Your dealer
will have it as soon as it is on the
market. The farmers have been
patriotic in growing this product
and the millers in making the
wheat into -four and consumers
should not be less patriotic in calling
for Vermont-Grown- Wheat for fam
lily use.

The prevailing influenza continues
to rage. The doctors are working
day and night and the sick ones are
being cared for the best that is pos
sible, although there are many cases
where it is impossible t.. secure help.
1t seems to the Herald that there is
field at home at the present tine
for the Red Cross to do some of it's
good work. A little organized eff
fort would be able to give aid to
some of the sick ones and save life.
This is work the Red Cross has taken
up on many previous occasions, and
the call for help at home is being met
by the Local Branch. There is also
much carelessness shown by some Of
those quarantined which is unwar-
rantable. Everyone should take the
greatest precaution and especially
those who are in contact with the
disease. The attention Of all is
called to an article in an another
column written by a citizen who
urges greater care in observing the
quarantine and organized help for
the suffering.

Canaan was again the first town
in Essex county to go over the top
on the Fourth Liberty Loan. The
towns Of Brighton. Lunenburg and
GuildhaIl followed. Canaan has
made splendid record in these Lii
berty Loans and other towns should
follow their lead. Island Pond has
not reached an average speed in this
drive and it must loosen up and get
busy or it will be at the foot of the
dist, a place the leading town in the
county should not hold. 1t should
not be necessary TO appeal to local
pride, for there is a stronger call
from the sons "overthere' for the
village to do its full part and give
these boys the assurance that We are
Hith them to the limit.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
WANTS over MILLION.
Seven Hundred and Thirty
Thousand Asked for Sal
aries Roll Alone.

The sum of $l,lO3,650 win be need
ed to run the Oregon Agricultural cob
lege during the next two years, accord
ing to estimates contained in the bud
get filed today with the state tax com
mission. As the total income of the col
lege for the next two years is estimat-
ed to be 1896, 200, the estimated ex-
penditures will exceed the income by
$2O5, ,450, which amount will have te
be appropriated by the legislature, if
it is provided at ALL
The big increase in the amount need
ed to run the college is due to the
work put onto the college by the war
department and the general increase in
the cost of fuel and other items of
maintenance. Salaries have been in
creased about 10 per cent and another
increase of five per cent is proposed.
1t is estimated that $730,000 will be
needed for salaries, $259,65O for gem
eral maintenance, $4,000 for improve
ments, $4,000 for betterments and re
pairs, $4,000 for contingencies, making
the total of $l,l03650. The total in
come of the college for the two years
is given as $S9S,200
The state tax commission will meet
tomorrow to consider this and the bud
gets for all the other state institu-
tions and departments for the purpose
of arriving at the sum which should be
raised through IAN initiative bill to
meet the states requirements.
Budgets for the state institutions
were discussed at a preliminary meet
ing of the state board of control Tues
day afternoon, but it was decided not
to go into detail with any Of them un-
til the tax commission has prepared
a statement showing the total demands
from all sources.
When the question Of allowing $780,
900 for new cell house at the state
prison was preached, State Treasurer
Kay said that involved the adoption
of new prison policy and he did not
care to pass on it.
Secretary of State Olcott said he
would not support appropriations for
new buildings unless they were abso-
lutely necessary. He pointed to the re-
quest for new building for the east
ern Oregon state hospital and said it
would be unnecessary at this time when
the new north wing at the Oregon
state hospital and the new ward for tu-
berculosis patients are furnished so
they can be occupied and the basement
at the eastern Oregon hospital is fit
ted up for use. The other two members
of the board agreed with him. Il
Warden Murphy of the penitentiary
said if the appropriation of 100000
for new cell house is allowed him he
will use the new building for the worst
criminals and will turn the present
cell house into dorNitary, removing
the cells, and permitting the better
class of criminals to occupy the rooms
on the dormitory plan.
