THE REWARD OF THE ToILER"

tThe following poem was written
for and published in the Woodstock
Academy Cleaner in 1915 and is re-
printed herewith by requesD.
10, what is the greatest triumph that
man in this life may win?
And who are the greatest heroes since
ever the world hath been2
Is gold, is fame. is glory, the greatest
that man may seek?
Is soldier, IS ruler. is statesmen, the
highest of whom we speak?
Nay! These have their place in his
tory; upon the page of time
Inscribed is their record clearly; true.
theirs were deeds sublime.
But greater than their achievements,
grander than bygone deed,
The word is daily seeing, too blind
though it be to heed.
Tie warriors home returning, with
banners floating on high,
Perchance would in prison languish,
or stark on the field would lie.
Were it not for the faithful pickets
pacing their beats all night,
Darkness and danger about them. yet
guarding till dawns the light
The ocean liner speeding across the
taekless wave.
Full many fathoms sinking, would
find her namele<s grave.
We're il not for the men uuheeied,
who, down in the dre9ry hold,
Her furnace fires are fee lest
their glow turn gray and cold
We're it not for the toiling miners,
bent, hackened. too early old.
Deep in the earth's dark bosom lay
buried the mines of gold.
Were it not for the countless armies
of factory, farm. and mill
The land would lie waste and fallow.
the hum of the mart be still.
These are the worlds true heroes /;
and what the reward they win
Have wealth, or glory, or honor to
them e'er granted been?
Nay, greater than fame or riches the
recompense these have won,
For this is the toilers' guerdon-The
glory of work we'll done

TAKING OUT FIRST PAPERS
British Subjects Seek to Become
American Citizens.

There was an unsual amount of
activity in the Office of County Clerk
F. NJ Warner the past month Sixty
four aliens filed first papers to be-
come American citizens. Most of the
applicants were subjects of Great
Britain and possibly the recent agree
ment between the two countries for
the drafting of each country's sub
jects fit for service enters into the un-
usual rush to become citizens.
Some of the declarants are over 81
years of age, some under 81 years Of
age, but out of the ga who took out
first papers last month thirteen were
found who are within the ages from
which Uncle Sam is drawing his ma
tional army. These men have changed
their status under the selective ser
vice act by taking out first papers,
and their attention will be called to
this by the local board and the men
who have claimed deferred classified
ton on the ground Of being aliens will
be reclassifed.
1t was also found that many of the
declarants Of the past month are resi-
dents of other Windham countNtowns
that come under the jurisdiction of
the local board for division No. II,
which has its headquarters at Will
mantle.

North Sea, the Netherlands, may be
but small .nation, yet the influence
of the Dutch people has been exceed
ingly great. Dutch art and science
have made themselves felt rs far as
civilization extends Dutch connec-
tons and relations extend throughout
the world. because behind them lies
the unbroken civilization Of glorious
past, and well-maintained national
traditions. The American historian
Motley stands first in spreading here
the knowledge Of the heroic struggle
IN the Netherlands. His Rise of the
Dutch Republic" resembles a paeon
on the Dutch Calvinists. Calvinistic
Holland produced lights of science
and literature which are still undim-
med after the lapse of centuries, to
wit: Boerhave, Grotius, Bynker-
shock, Vessel Gansfort, Rudolf Agri-
cola, Erasmus, Spinoza, Musschen-
brock, Swammedram, Leeuwenhoek,
Huygens, Barbeyrac, Hemsterhuis,
Thomas Kempis, etc
But it should never be forgotten
that ever since 1881, when religious
liberation was first proclaimed, Hol-
land has remained "the cradle of lib
esty. Jews, uugueaots, Pilgrim IA
theirs, anarchists, in fact every pro
seribel sect and opinion has found
and finds still refuge there. The spir-
it Of liberty is as much alive as ever.
IN speaking fer the Dutch people,
they need not warm themselves by
the cold ashes of a gloriously bright
past, as their leading scientific men of
today find few peers and fewer SUI
periors. To mention a few widely
known paragons in their respective
branches of science +Lorenz, Zee
man, van Asser, Hugo De Vries,
'Van t Hoff, De Groot, Snouek Hur-
gronJe, 'Kamerlingh Onnes, Donders,
'Van der Waals, Thiels, Kuenen, Van
0osterzee, Kuyper, Bavinck, Goblet,
Rauwenhof, Kern, Ten Brink, Dozy,
etc.
In music and in art also Holland
splendidly sustains its great reputa-
ton The orchestra of ''het Concert
gebouw" in Amsterdam and its direct
or, Willem Mengelberg, are world-fa-
nous; so is Julia Culp among the
singers. There is hardly a noted or
ehestra in America in which Dutch
musicians do not perform a respecta-
BILE part. Sir Alma Tadema found
honorable recognition for his art in
England, whilst Joseph Israels, Mes
dag, Apol, etc. enjoyed international
fame at home Maarten Martens
(Mr. Van der Poorten) is a better
known novelist in England and Amer
lea than in his native land.
Most of all, however, Holland may
point with pride to its sturdy, honest
citizens, which in its rank and file
keeps generally to the old, substantial
ways of plain living and high think
ing" These Dutch middle classes (de
kleine luyden), unspoiled by luxury
and worldiness, abiding in the Christ
ian faith of their historic past, stand
still forth as a mighty strength of the
Dutch nation, even today.
These strongly religious traits in
yolve everywhere and always the best
civic virtues, and on investigation it
will be found that these sterling char
acteristics are not wholly lacking in
those Dutch who have settled here.
And we trust that the Dutch may be
counted among Americas best immi-
grants.

DON'T WASTE YOUR GRAIN

DON'I WASTE 1OU IL UhAlN
The harvest is here and have been
reading a good deal about threshing
and many seem to think the thresher-
man is to blame for all waste. l
claim the farmer is to blame for fifty
percent of the waste. / have been in
the threshing business for twenty
years and l don't claim to know it all
yet.
In the first place the farmers
make their sheafs of wheat too big
and harvest it too green and then
use too many bundles in the shock.
The wind rain comes and the caps are
blown and they lay there until the
thresherman comes, or until it is
stacked
/ have seen nice wheat lay right
on the ground when there is an old
straw pile in the same yard. The
i pigs had been at the bottom of the
stack and the chickens at the top with
the whole thing on north side of a
big willow hedge, the water from the
barnyard run under the stacks and
all of these things went to waste
grain. l said it was in bad shape
and believe me wasted wheat They
said they wanted the straw close to
these trees, and / thought they paid
dear for it.
l would suggest the four following
reasons for avoiding trouble and
wasted grain:
/. Bind wheat in small bundles.
2. Let it get ripe, not too ripe,
shock it good in small shocks and
keep the caps on.
3. Pick nice place to thresh
, with plenty of room.
4. And last, pitch it into the
feeder, don't pile it in and the waste
will be little if any.
