Address at the Conservation of
a Service Flag in the West.
BY LEONARD f. COLE.

We are assembled to dedicate and con-
secrate our service flag. But already
| this flag has been consecrated by the
noble young men who have gone from
us into the army and navy. These
men have left all that is dear to them on
earth = homes, native land, youthful
prospects and kindred. They are rem.
dering their utmost sacrifices for the
welfare of the nation, and if the need
arises, they will yield their precious lives
for the liberties of the world.
Brave boys are they, gone at their country's
call
And yet, and yet, we cannot forget, that
many brave boys must fall"
Therefore our solemn ceremony of con-
secration can be only an Endorsement of
them and the cause of freedom to
which they have devoted themselves.
However, valid Endorsement is a bind
ing pledge to take upon ones self the
enterprise, the obligations and the sac
rihces of Others. Hence it follows that
we now declare unto God, before all
mankind, that the World War against
tyrants and their expressions, is our
own undertaking that with all we
have, and are, and hope to attain, we
will support our government, our army
and our navy.
On farms, in homes, in marts of trade,
in manufactures, wherever commerce
sends railway trains and boats and
ships, there let conservation lay limitless
sacrifices on the altar of righteous
victory.
Yet this is not our uttermost. We
have interests beyond and above our
material resources-the treasures of mind
and soul. These are dearer to US than
life, for without them life would not be
worth the living. These, our most sacred
possessions, are outwardly represented
by our various institutions of education
and worship, which have responded lib
orally with splendid achievements. But
let our schools, colleges. universities and
churches re-double their endeavors in
behalf of the contest for free world.
We must have university extension"
ON our war ships. in the trenches, and on
the battle front, where our braves "Iong
line comes cleaning on" to drive our
foes from their strongholdsl
The churches of Christ must pray and
labor in the name and spirit of our
Lord. A spiritual work is incumbent on
Christian people, that our flag may
wave in conservation over a nation
whose God is the Lord.

Sales Of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps in Vermont
to June 8, 1918
AS Reported TO the State Dis
tributor of War Savings
Treasury Department,
Washington, May IS, 1913.

It is essential that the American
people economic and save in order to
make available to their Government
the money indispensably needed for
the war and to release supplies and
labor required for the production of
things necessary for our own mill
tary forces and for the military forces
Of the nations associated with us.
One of the best methods of bringing
about this result is for everyone to
pledge himself to economic and save
and to purchase, at definite periods
a specific amount of War Savings
Stamps, thus giving concrete evidence
of his support of the practice of War
Savings.
To achieve this object, there will
be conducted under the direction of
the Treasury Department, a cam
paign for pledges, eliminating on
June 28th, when loyal Americans
ILlOuSllOuL lIIC IOullLly WIN bO 'tF7IANN
to commit themselves to this program.
The progress of the war demands
constant and increasing sacrifices.
We are sending our young manhood
to represent us on foreign battle
fields, where they are called upon to
sacrifice not only their personal com
fort and material interests but their
lives as well. 1t is appropriate, there
fore for the American people who are
privileged to remain in safety and
comfort at home to consider their
sacred obligation to support our gal
liant men and to pledge themselves
earnestly to save and economic in
order that our soldiers and sailors
may have the food and clothing and
the arms and ammunition without
which they cannot fight.
To the end that this intensive cam
paign may be most effective, I earn
estly bespeak the cooperation of all
the organizations and institutions Of
the nation which, through their in
iuence and active support, can fur
Their this work. It is desirable that the
attention Of the entire people be cen
tered on their obligation to pledge
the Government this kind Of support
for the winning of the war; and with
this object in view, that June 2Sth,
1918, be observed as a National War
Savings Day.
With adequate preparation for
National War Savings Day on June
28th, am sure that the American
people will be glad to participate and
to pie dge themselves to become war
savers, thereby giving concrete evil
dence If their devotion to their coun-
tty's welfare and of their infleXible
purpose to fight until a triumphant
victory for liberty is secured.

ate army and served during the contin-
uance of hostilities. Afterwards he
came to Wisconsin, living three years
at Sparta and in the vicinity of Edger-
ton for the past 43 years, Is years of

Thus closed the career of a man who
enjoyed the respect and confidence of
the community.
Funeral services, conducted by the
Masonic order, will take place on FRI

late home.

charging cruelty and desertion. In
