being cut all over the country, and will
be a great benefit in more ways than
one. People have been accustomed 20 let

been dependent on Norway and Canada

SACRIFICE.
Emma Crozier Latrobe.

Tramp. tramp, do you hear themf
With measured beat and slow,
Marching bravely onward
TO fight against the foe.
Their youthful faces earnest
With courage firm and grim.
Determined, splendid, manly
Reminding US Of Him.
Who died to save all nations
To make us pure and good,
oh, guard them gentle Jesus
And help them with thy love.
Far better is It women
10 sacrifi &C our boys
To duties nobler higher,
Than keep them for home joys.
To say good bye for veal or woe,
10 those We love, adore
And send them out 70 fight the .oe,
No matter what's in store.
The cali rom dying nations,
America has heard,
And fights 10 save creation
From slaverys hated word
And heavenly hosts are fighting,
A war for freedom glad
Against 4erece legions battling,
o. demons cruel and bad
our men with manhood glorious
Must suffer bleed and die,
Until the hosts Of Satans brood
Crushed for mercy cry.
At home are women waiting
For news from "Over there"
Their hearts with angI sh br ak ng
And spirits filed with prayer.
Oh, give our hest-Oh, give our all,
Our money, food and men,
OH give our lives though hearts will breal
For Christ gave all for men
This poem was written by Mrs. GambI
Latrobe o. this city and read by he
at the April meeting Of the Pennsylvanl
Women War Relief.

HAVE TAKEN 15o SALMON
The Last Days on the Restigouche the
 Best Days.

Archibald Mitchell of this city, writing a friend from Runnymede Lodge, Matapedia, P. e., says his party killed eight salmon on July 10th, the weight of which were as follows: 34, 29, 21, 20. Is. 10. s and pounds.
 We now limit each rod to eight fish per day, which is. enough for any man.
 The Juna fishing was extremely poor. For the first 21 days, only killed three hsh, an average of one week. The season has been late, but the fishing is good now. Our party of four rods so far have taken 15O salmon. I have just looked over our score book and find we have IS salmon which weigh as follows; 34, 29, 28, 29, 25. 29, 25, p, B, 2S, 28, fl, 9, 9, 36. 25, 32, 26 To- tai. SIS pounds, Average 28 7-10 pounds
 The largest fish weighed 41 pounds, which was taken by MT. Hunter of De- troit. This is the record fish killed on our waters since we acquired the fish ing rights.
 The salmon next to it was the 40 1-2 pounds fish whicb took the prize of tered by Field & Stream for the larg- est salmon taken with fly on the Amer ican continent in 1912

The children of the Cradle Roll and the primary and junior departments of the Universalist Sunday school were entertained at a lawn party held at the home of Mrs. Bred x Young, 20 Cornell street, Thursday afternoon.

The children matched flowers to find part ners for the march, and pretty favors were given them by E, A. Tracy, su- perintendent of the Sunday school.
 The committee served ice cream, cake, wafers, popcorn and milk.
 About seventy children and mothers attended, and all expressed their ap- preciation of the pleasant entertain ment provided by the hostess and the Sunday school officers and teachers.

MATTERN MUST ANSWER
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
To Charge of Misprison of Felony in Concealing Whereabouts of SaIs- berry.

George Mattern of Preston was pre- sented before Justice of the Peace Virtume P. A. Quinn at the Norwich state hospital for the insane at o'clock on Friday afternoon, charged with lnisprison of felony in connection with the Salsberry murder case on May in Preston. Court Stenogra- pher Graham was in attendance and took the testimony. The state was represented by Lawyer Arthur M. Brown and Lawyer Thomas M. Shields apeared for the defendant.
 The state claims that Mattern through two letters he had received from Salsberry a few days after the shooting, one postmarked Newark, N. J., and one Philadelphia, which fact Mattern did not divulge to the au- thoritiees, was guilty of misprison of felony, which is the concealment of the place of resort of criminal when one has knowledge of the same. The wife of Salsberry testified that Mattern told her not to worry about her husband because he (Mattern) thought that Salsberry was in Texas or some other place that Mrs. Sals- berry had forgotten the name of. Sheriff Draper and County Detective Jackson testified briefly that Mattern admitted to them having received two such letters from Salsberry. The de- fense put in no testimony.
 The state claims that Mattern's | failure to disclose the fact that he had received letters from Salsberry was wit hintent to obstruct justice and l prevent the apprehension and punish 1 ment of Salsberry. To this charge Mattern claims that his failure to ac- quaint the authorities with the facts was through fear that it might involve ] him in some way and from natura | disinclination to be in any way con- cerned in such a notorious and un- 1 pleasant matter.
 | The matter was argued briefly ant Judge Quinn expressed his opinion tha
 the state had made out prima facit case, although in his opinion it would be quite unlikely that any jury would agree to convict Mattern. but since tht prima facie case had been made ou he had no alternative but to bind Mat tern over to the September term o l the criminal superior court Bond
 were fixed at $1.0O0 and were provided | by Mattern's mother
 This case is an unusual one, as tn
 crime is an old common law misde
 meanor. Judge Swift mentions it il
 his digest and further states that h
 never knew a prosecution under il
 The law is almost obsolete in tn
 United States, as in most states ther
 are statutes to take care of such
 situation. Local lawyers do not reca
 any such action ever having bee
 taken in this locality The law come
 from the old English common law tha | was in exect ill Colonial days.
