The Service Flag.

The Service Flag.
Beneath Old Glory floats today
Another flag as true;
IT'S made of red, with field of white,
And stars of royal blue;
lis seen in city mart and church,
In village street and home;
Some number now their hundred
stars,
While some have only one.
Why raise we now another flag,
Old Glorv's mate to be?
Why make it of red, white and blue,
The colors Of the free?
What means this flag of recent birth,
Today we honor here?
What mean these stars on field of
white,
That seem to us so dear?
Across the sea a tyrant roams
With bloody sword in hand;
His path is strewn with gore and
death,
Where'er he leads his mighty hordes
On sea as well as land;
Horrors on horrors heap;
Poor Belgium, Alsace Lorraine
And France, their vigils keep.
Our own fair land in peril stands;
Our freedom is at stake.
Oh, who will fight this awful foe?
Who sword in hand will take?
England and France the call have
heard,
And answered long ago;
And now our own America
Enters to fight the foe.
Our sons have heard their nations
cry,
"Protect us from this Woe"
They waited only for the word,
Across the sea to 60
In France our boys are fighting now
Our liberty to keep;
They've gone from city, village, town,
And crossed the mighty deep.
This banner is a Service Flag;
Each star stands for life,
Guarding us and our native land
From all this dreadful strife.
This flag we raise to honor them,
Our boys SO good and true.
God keep them safe and bring them
back,
When they their part shall do.
Oh, fly together on one staff;
Lead ever toward the light;
Help US to all be leal and true
And battle for the right.
Fly on 0 flag, beside thy mate!
We give thee homage due.
Old Glory and the Service Flag
Of red and white and blue.

If we recall correctly Louisiana is
the only state thus far that has failed
on a straight vote to ratify the ma
tional prohibition amendment, and
ratification was lost there by one
vote in the senate, the house voting
for the amendment by large ma
jority. Twelve states have now rat
flied, one-third the required number
and nearly every state whose legis-
lature has met this year.

The Bellows Falls Times has been
followed by the Springfield Reporter,
which has raised it's subscription
price to So per year. The Burlington
Daily News has raised it's mail sub
scription price a dollar a year, and
the procession has just begun. 1t is
not because the thing is popular but
because the raise is necessary and
proper.

A MANS JOB.

Raising 100000, 100000 is a mans
lob. If a railroad train should be
Just one second late for every dollar
it would be Ga years behind it's sched-
ule. If the people of the United
States try to help the government
in buying thrift stamps to the
amount of 100000 100000 we shall
have to buy 500 every second from
now until January LIST, 1919. You see
see it can't be done by buying thrift
stamps alone. But we must have the
S2,OOO,O0O,O 100000. It's a mans job.
The boys and girls have done Won
ders. They have bought from their
own funds hundreds Of thousands of
dollars of the little thrift stamps.
But they must be helped by the men
and women if this job goes over, and
in big way, by the purchase of war
stamps.
The people of Nebraska subscribed
their allotment of $40 per capita in
one day. 1t was done on the "Ne-
braska Plan" The Nebraska plan has
arrived in Vermont and in every 9TH
er state in the Union. June 28th is
the day the United States will pledge
Stamps. A month was taken to get
0,000,000.00 subscribed for the
Third Liberty Loan. Half that sum
will be subscribed in one day, June
28th. A nation will take off it's coat
Friday morning, June 28th, and do
nothing else for whole day but buy
and sell and give pledges to buy War
Savings stamps. In many towns two
or three days before the 28th will be
devoted to getting pledges. 1t will
be a time of conservation to a great
principle as we'll as of rolling up
funds for the use Of our government
in prosecuting the war.
1t has taken us over a year to
realize that it is a mans job "Over
There" And we now know that it is
a mans job over here. Don't cry
out against the multiplication Of sub
scriptions and prohibitions. Did you
ever stop to think that the boys
cover There" can't stop after they
fight one battle and take their time
to fight the next one? It's life and
blood and wounds cover There" it's
sordid dollars and cents over here.
Take your choice. It's taxes one
month, Red Cross the next, Liberty
Bonds the next, Y. M. c.. A. funds |
the next and K. c. subscriptions the
next. That's all right cover There" /
it is gas today, shrapnel tomorrow,
machine gun fire day after tomorrow
and He'll every night. And our boys
don't get Az % interest on their in
vestment of life and limb. Wouldn't |
you like them to know that Vermont
did not hesitate to invest money
while they invested their lives?
Look upon the War Savings
Stamps as a mans job, just as you
looked upon the Third Liberty Bond.
Buy them today and make June 18th
easier for those who are working to
get pledges for the balance of Yer
mont's quota Of $780, 10000.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Freak of Human Nature.

1t is a strange part of human ma
ture that so many persons who fled
to America to escape the living con-
ditions of their native country should
have so little appreciation of the
privileges with which they are sur
rounded on this side Of the Atlantic.
Rose Pastor Stokes, the foreign-born
wife of a New York amateur Social
list, has been sentenced to term of
ten years in prison after being con-
victed of seditious statements made
in a letter addressed to Kansas City
newspaper. It is time for persons
of foreign birth or sympathies to
learn that, although we have permit
ted them during peace to make
America a dumping ground for every
fool 'ism" under the sun, we do not
intend to alloyv them during war time
to continue their corrupting or I'M

cause for which we are fighting, to
embarrass our government and to

in the vestry of the Congregational
church Friday evening. The menu
was all that could be desired and the
post prandial part was one which
savored distinctly of the times.
Clyde P. Cooper, ~, presided as
POSTMASTER in most satisfactory
manner. He called upon Miss Ernes-
tine Wilson, IA, for that class ode,
written by her, and upon Miss Hazel
Mcclellan, IA, for the ode of that
year, and w. S. Hibbard welcomed
the class of 1918 and was responded
to by Miss Cora Healey.
The principal part Of the pro-
gram was given over to the presen-
tation of a service flag and its ac-
ceptance. Miss Fanny May, 'O3, pre-
scented the flag to the school through
the Alumni association but the flag
was the gift of Mrs. J. F. Batchelder.
Miss Mays words were most fitting

Prin. F. J. Bates accepted the flag
in the name OF the school believing
that it would be an inspiration to
those who view it and regarded it as
a symbol Of service which all the stu
dents going from Barton academy
would accept as a challenge.
Rev. W. A. Warner responded to
the toast, "Our Soldiers" in which
he paid high tribute to those who
served their country in a military
capacity. He laid emphasis upon
"our" as these 25 young men were
part of US, and added that every SOL
der of the vast number to cross the
ocean is someone's soldier.
The roll call showed that SIS men,
bers of the alumni association were
present. Leslie Elliott, '18, was
elected president and Ernestine Will
son, 10, vice president, while Mrs.
Mae R. Batchelder was reelected
secretary and treasurer. An Alumni
orchestra composed of Mrs. Batchel-
der, Miss Curtis, Miss Potter, Mr..
Webster and Mr.. Lang, furnished
excellent music.

Shall Graham Be RenOminated.

Gov. Horace F. Graham was audi
tor for several years. He built up a
business-like organization. There are
many who wish he might have kept
right on the job. He was pastmas-
ter in the art of smoothing out the
wrinkles, had a way of settling tech
nical points in any case coming be-
fore him, and a faculty of making
anyone not agreeing with him to feel
he was fairly treated. He made a
splendid record in the auditors office.
He has been a good governor for
one term. There are others who have
been good governors, and for one
term, too.
for a second 1t has been suggested
second term idea was started by
story in the Rutland Herald some
time ago 1t also stated there was
a general demand for him for anoth-
er term. Those who admit the gov
ernor has made good, and give him
full credit for it, but think there is no
more reason this year to break
long-established custom than any
other years has been accused Of
most everything on the calendar.
There is an honest difference of
opinion on this second term matter,
as on any other matter political, even
in these strenuous times.
If the rule of years is to be broken
there could be no better time to do it,
perhaps, and certainly good subject
to try it on.
We do not know the governors
mind on this, but it would not sur
prise US any to hear him say he did
not care for a second term.-North-

Stricter Food Regulations to Come


In a recent speech delivered in
New York City, Herbert Hoover, ma
tional food administrator, declared
he was convinced that eff the war
were to cease tomorrow the total of
actual dead from starvation and its
attendant diseases would double or
treble the 100000 or 100000 kill
ed by Germany and her allies" and
he added that cit is worse than folly
to put 100000 of our boys into
France if the civilian population of
our Allies is not also to be maintain
ed in strength and morale with our
food"
This conclusion is so obvious that
no one will dispute it, and yet there
is not such conservation of food in
this country as is necessary if we are
to feed the civilian population of our
comrade countries. The prospects
are that the production of food in the
United States this year will exceed
that of last, in spite of the difficulty
of getting labor for the farms, but
we must eat less of the foods that
can be shipped to Europe if we are
to do our duty.
stricter rules in regard to the use of
many kinds of food and we cannot
justly complain if that is done, for we
have failed voluntarily to conserve
food as we ought. The poorest meal
served in an American family is a
banquet compared to those on which
millions of the people in our comrade
countries are living.
Who can read Of the children in
France, poorly nourished and show
ing plainly in their faces the effects
Of malnutrition, begging our soldiers
as they march through the cities and
villages for the scraps of the rations
left in their haversacks, without a
pang? Who can think of the moth
ers of France and Belgium trying to
raise their infants while unable to
supply them with proper nourish- |
ment because Of the short rations of
the mothers themselves without feel
yet pity will not help them.
We must translate our pity into |
good works and we must live more
plainly in order to be able to send |
food to the French and Belgians. 1t
is the duty Of every family to prac-
tice self-denial for this noble cause.
This does not mean that we should !
deny ourselves the nourishment that |
is essential to health; that is alto
gether unnecessary. But we must cut
down on the superfuities, which |
would be all the better for our own
health, besides lowering the cost of
living.
We are going to send 10000
American boys to France if that !
many are needed, and as Mr. Hoover
says, it would be worse than folly to
do this if we did not maintain the
strength and morale of the civilian
population of France with our food.
