teacher at the Seminary, is on the
road to recovery after an operation

be so very healthy.
Don't forget you have tickets, or at

Last Thursday afternoon saw the
opening of the base ball season, when
the Seminary played North Benning-
ton High School at the Fair Grounds.
The game was too one-sided for much
excitement, the visitors losing with
the overwhelming score Of Is to 0, but
although the game was not very in
teresting to spectators it proved that
Burr and Burton has good base ball
material and with practice ought to
make a formidable team.
Reassured and confident, the boys
journeyed to Pittsford last Saturday
to play the High School team of that
place The game was fast and fairly
close from beginning to end. In the
first inning Davis came across the
plate with the first run for the Semin-
airy. and in the fourth Jim Burns, our
old reliable pitcher and batter, knock
ed a beautiful home run. This APP
parently awakened Pittsford from her
sleep, for they Immediately "came to
life" and before the Manchester boys
knew what was up, they had lost
to 2. In this game it was very evident
that the Seminary was defeated be-
cause of lack Of practice, and they
have resolved to go after the game
harder and harder until they are able

You have met him or you have met
man who has just met him but who
perhaps did not recognize him and
who still carries about in his CONVEX
sation the peculiar accent of German
propaganda. 1t is time to be on
guard against these falsehoods, malic-
ious in character but cleverly conceiv-
ed, aimed at the Red Cross, the Food
Administration, stories of abuse or ill
treatment of soldiers, unreported cas-
ualties, coupled with convincing de-
tails as TO names and places. Loyalty
to our country now, in word as well as
in deed, is paramount and the absence
of such loyalty in any person of your

"Compensated poorly, if at all except by the gratitude and affection of their neighoors and of the nation at large, the boards have labored necessarily
 through the enervating heat of last sum mer only to find a still greater tasS awaiting their unceasing devotion throughout the rigors of the following winter. Then, having accomplished this classification, they found themselves confronted with the mobilization of mill lions of men and accurately and prompt- ly they have performed and are per-
 forming this labor. Much work yet remains Today the new men of q are being registered and must be speed fly classified. On the first of next monta the local and district boards will be 1n- vested with the still further responsl- bility of preventing idleness and of un- productive employment which is not et- tective to the nation in the emergency. Some boards will review their work and correct those inequalities which have been unavoidable in so tremendous aa undertaking. The nation, however, with full confidence in the men who have performed these great tasks in the pass, faces the future without forebodins. The splendid work of our local and dis- trfct boards and of the other great vol unteer army of assistants has filled us with admiration. They have been tried and found true and so long as this war may last our people are happy in the complete assurance that this great will not fail the nation.
