DID HE REMEMBER ?

The night is dark and chill; our fire burns
brightly;
We two alone! And all things that delight
me
Are gathered round me, close and warm
and certain;
The green vines fling across the crimson
curtain
Their tender arms; at June's remembered
graceS
Fair flowers stand smiling in each others
faces;
Inside the pane, 10, summer laughs and
fingers,
Outside the snow beats with it's chilly
fingers.
Next year at this same hearth, the fire
shall warm thee,
The blossom and the vine be left to charm
thee,
And | shall be-outside-wilt thou re-
member
And shudder when the storm beats, next
December?
Nay, start not thus, nor in thine arms
enfold me-
If love were strong as death thou shouldst
withhold me.
If, from my narrow cell, my ghost can
wander,
And if find thee dear, by death made
fonder,
Or, held within my prison, if above me
| hear the whisper daily "Still l love
thee"
Why, that were well; the terrors that be-
l can endure, if thou wilt not forget me.

The U. S. Boys Working Reserve
which was known last season as tne Jun

made to enlist every boy of physical Mt

colleges are being interviewed that they
may have the opportunity OF offering
their services to the farmers during tne
vacation period.
One thing is certain, Maine won't be
able to get any help from outside OF the
State this year. 1t is the duty OF every
town and city man and boy to help.
Get in touch with the County Agrlcul-
tural agent. There is one in each county,

AMERICAS SOLDIERS.

English observers viewing the American
troops on parade in London with critical
eyes describe them variously as ''solemn

lot of fighters, " lin physique and morale

and a ''fine lot of huskies" We do not
need this comment to know the sort of
men we are are sending over. American
soldiers are not supermen, but given the
necessary training they make as good
soldiers as any in the world, and our men
are not being sent into battle in Europe
without being well trained, They go

COSTA RIGA.

Costa RIGA is little republic which |
was established as republic in 1928 1t |
has recently declared war against Ger
many. This will not do very much to
bring victory to the Allies because Costa
RIGA has only about half the population
and three. fifths the area of the State of
Maine. 1t has no army worth mention
ing, as war factor, no fleet and raises
few if any war productions for exporta-
ton Its banks and large business en-
terprlses are controlled by Germans and
as far as we can surmise the only rea son
the people had for declaring war was the
knowledge they had, at first hand, OBJ
tanned about Germans. We have found
them more or less intrenched in almost
every nation on the Western Continent,
and the alien Germans are Huns in bust
few of our own citizens in Costa RIGA.
It's people are not what is called a mixed
population. About 80 percent of the in
habitants are pure Spanish stock and
tucIc dIc dUOuI L ,UUU IuuldIlS, lWO- I'LL uS
of whom are savages. The people are in
clihed to be friendly to the Allies but
many of the grandees favor Germany.
The Costa Ricans are not noted for watch
full waiting. If they have a president
whom they do not like they get rid of him
without delay. About two years ago
they had president who was not salts
factory. His name is Gonzales. He was
p TO- German but it does not appear that
this was the reason for the bloodless
revolution which ended his career as
president. The Costa Rican congress be-
slowed the office upon Senior Tinoco who
strongly favors the Allied cause. And
in due time the voters at general elec-
ton confirmed. the appointment. The
Tinoco government has not been officially
recognized by the United States although
recognition has been made by 20 other
nations. Costa RIGA is republic. She
is on our side against Germany. It would
at least be neighborly for Uncle Sam to
raise his hat and say: president Tinoco
