The Colorado statesman., 1918-02-16

And stretch each Uortice of the ear
To catch that first sharp clicking
sound
Of the stage coach laundering on its
way,
The hoof-beat on the frozen ground
That knows the kind of tune to play.
Some in small groups together
drdWn
Wait on the green bench of a ldwn,
And MeSe-in SomeWise more Sc
date
The aOisdom of his act debate.
One rises Who defends the sire
Of his great land, and vows vith ire
IT'S only great mans pay, indeed,
To give up lofty place, Secede
From honorS of such high degree.
Putting ambition aside, and fame.
Upon the altar Whence they came
His country's heart-Gnd stepping
d0Un
From all the lure of high renown,
Take has old place in life again,
One Nth all kindred gentlemen!
Some tell the story of his trip,
While others bark vith hanging
lip
That parting at old Frances inn
With those who'd been his aids at
war,
Tears in his eyes, and in his heart
That aching that they feel aOho part
With comrades and Vith friends
who'Ue spent
Hours With them in the bdttlement
of life, Of fate, of hopes and dreams,
And brave adcenturingS long before.
Then to the barge they see him go
At Whitehall Ferry, 6owing lou
In all that stately form of grace
At each bowed head and tear-Stained
face.
And then that silent, street. adieu
At PauluS Hook-Sad aUordS and
fen,
A silent avaving of the hand
Back to his high and faithful band,
Then Nth his face set hither-
strong
In the high purpose he had made
To heed no imploring of the hrong
But lay at his countryS feet his
blade.
Then the triumphant jaunt begun
Those days of journeying in the sun;
The plauditS of a nations best
Poured round him at each stopping
place,
And on the roads from mile to mile
Always some patriot in aChoSe
breast
Inpiolate love had left its trace,
Coming to bon By the road he'd take
And kiss the cold ground for his
dear sake.
Philadezphian's loud acclaim.
Then Baltimore-her royal bounty
Poured as 'twas never poured before,
The Colorado statesman., 1918-02-16

By every county seat and county
To pay due homage to his name,
And giUe him Welcome at this door
OF Maryland he'd remember long
As life should last or dreams prolong
Their memories in his noble soul.
Then once again the coach Dheels
roll
He's coming-down the Generals
Way!
The old State road is Gods today!
God's-and beneath his sparkling
Gods and the General Washington!
Ten miles beyond the cross roads lies
The capital; DER yonder rise
The Severn smiles meath azure skies,
Where Indian Landing sleeps beside
The murmuring music of that tide,
Whose song-as light as beauty
cheers
The Siluering romance IF the gears.
He'll pass here soon; and this way
rings
The music of the morn! Had kings
Such love from those they rule as
he
Al weI, what kingdoms ve should
see!
But he has struck down Kings; his
SWord
Had fought for freedom and the
Lord.
And now the cross roads teens Nth
life,
The hour has come, the keen winds
knife
Is cutting under skin and bone,
But whO cares for the cold-that
lone,
Grave figure shall reparm each
heart!
An echo; see hon. sharp ears start.
1t is the General-hoorayl
And down the Generals Highway
The yeomen who haze seen him pass
Follow in cheering groups
Of burning and of patriot zeal
To be first followers at his heel.
1t is the General-hooray!
This roadside sings again today.
This nation sings, its heart still
bowed
Before him in those dreams that
crowd.
The moving canvas of the gears.
There, like peer among his peers,
The Vision looms again, and he
Stands in that room we still may see,
One hand behind his back, and one
Laying that sword his bravery wom
Upon the table. A shaft of light
Across the senate chamber steals;
A prelate in the foreground kneels.
A consecrated hour, indeed,
That hour of high, eralted need,
That noble and immortal act
It's spirit cleaning above its fact,
It's soul of beauty so made one
With the high soul of Washington!

NEARLY 700 PHONES ON
LADYSMITH EXCHANGE
Business Will Have To Be Declined
Until New Switchboard Is
Installed

Manager Allen distributed new tele-
phone directories Saturday. There
are SO phones on the city and 164 on
the rural lines now, or total of 6S3
the largest number ever connected in
the local exchange.
There are only six blank places left
on the local switchboard and prac-
tically no more installations can be
made until the new switchboard is in
stalled this fall, the remaining blanks
being reserved for new business places
or places of urgent need.
Installation Of the new switchboard
and entire new system this fall will
entail an expenditure of fully $4,000
here by the telephone company
When the new system is in operation
it will only be necessary to take down
the receiver to get central, in other
words, the phones will be "self-start,
ers." On party lines there will be nc
ringing of phones not called. The i'll
stallation work will soon begin and
will be completed before the first OF
the year.

WILL "MOTORIZE"
PAPER MILL
Transmission Line Will Bring
Power Here From Port
Arthur Dam

In these days of fuel shortage, the
$4,000 or more horsepower unused and
going to waste in Rusk county have
an added Importance and present con-
ditiOns make it imperative that our
streams be harnessed to do all the
work possible.
With this in view the Menasha Pa
per Co. intends to do away with steam
power as rapidly and to as great an
extent as will be practical, considering
their needs for steam for other pur-
poses, and will moderniZe their plant
by installing direct electrical drive
throughout the greater part of their
paper mills here. This will mean in
dividual motors for each machine.
All the electrical energy generated
at the dam in this city is now in use
and it will therefore be necessary for
the paper company to bring in power
from outside. A transmission line will
be constructed between the company's
dam at Port Arthur and their mills in
this city, commencing at once, some of
the material being already on the road.
Erection of this transmission line and
installing the electric motors will be
rushed as rapidly as possible, the ship
ments of material being given priority
by the government on account of the
fact that this change of steam to cleo
tric power will mean the saving of con-
siderable fuel.
About 400 horsepower will be
brought here this, fall, but eventually
considerably more will be carried on
this line, which will have capacity
for a far greater load than that.
The Sterling Electric Co., of Mime
apolis, has the contract for this in
StallatiOn.

VOLUNTEERS UNDER Is
NOT WANTED IN ARMY

The minimum age limit for voluntary
enlistment in the United States Army
is fixed by Congress at Is years. There
have been so many applications for re-
leases from the Army of boys under
this age who have enlisted that AdJu-
tant General Henry p. Mccain has is
sued the following circular letter:
'"The large number of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge of minors under Is
years of age, inclosing satisfactory
evidence that the soldier is under This
age indicates the necessity OF more
care on the part of recruiting officers in
order to avoid unnecessary expense to
the Government and annoyance to
troops in the field in the subsequent
discharge of such men, and to avoid
placing a blot for life on the record OF
a boy whose offense of misstatement of
his age arises usually from patriotic
desire to serve his country.
thereafter no applicant under the
registration age will be accepted or
enlisted until he has proven to the COM
plete satisfaction of the recruiting Off
Ger that he has reached the age OF Is
years. The proof required will be (a)
birth certificate, baptismal record, or
school certificate, or, in case (a) is not
available, (b) affidavit of parent or OF
guardian with legal evidence of guar
dianship."
