SOCIETY RECEIVES
ACASH VALENTINE
FROM LOWELE KIDS

The children Of Lowell school at
Thirty-eighth street and Eighteenth
avenue, have proved that they are real
patriots.
On Valentines day they voted to
give up their usual celebration and
exchange of valentines and to give
the money usually spent to the Red
Cross.
Yesterday morning Red Cross head
quarters received an envelope con-
tanning 1929 as the result OF the pat
riotic sacrifice of the pupils OF Lowell
school.
When the envelope was opened, =
chapter official said, II wonder how
many of us elders would so willingly
give up something SO dear to our
hearts as valentines are to the hearts
of children. 1t is that sort ct spirit
which will make junior membership

FARMERS WILL NOT FAIL
In THIS LOAN.
Secretary Houston Says Each Must
Feel Personal Responsibility.

Secretary ID. +. Houston of the
Dept. OF Agriculture has sent this
message TO the American farmer -
The 4th Liberty Loan will not fail
for lack of support Of American far
mers.
That Is the answer | am giving
to those who ask me what the re-
Spouse OF the American farmer will
be. am making this confident
assertion in the face Of the fact that
the American people are being asked
10 make colossal contribution to
Lberty-six billion dollars.
American farmers have demon
strated their patriotic support OF the
nations great war loans. One Of the
most striking features Of the 3rd
Liberty Loan was the support given
It by the farming and rural popula-
tions. Not only did farmers purchase
literally of the bonds, but the rural
communities as rule, were more
prompt in completing their quotas OF
the Loan than the larger cities. More
than 10000 communities In the U. 8.
subscribed or over subscribed their
quotas. Many OF them on the frst
day Of the campaign. The majority
of these were not cities, but country
districts
But we have now q greater effort
to make, and the responsibility 10
more directly than ever upon the
individual farmer. The conditions
throughout the country, particularly
in New England. make II impossible
TO 60 to the farmer. II is for him
10 act with full knowledge Of the
situation that confronts the nation,
Our largest war loan has been
launched. II vii tax our determine
ton TO defend our liberty and our
Republic at all costs. Our Armies In
the field are hghting VIGOROUSLY.
The forces at home are now In an
offensive that must not fail. With

bonds that We may attain our OBJ

ON THE WAY

Just forty days in the army,
And on my way to France!
Just forty days in the army,
And now | have my chance.
With men of high and low degree
And men of every hue,
United by single thought
To see this blamed war through.
Equipped with husky motor trucks,
We're going over now
To put the dough" in "doughboy"
By bringing up his "chow."
A lot Of us drove taxicabs
Where night is turned to day,
And several more were braking
freights
Out Colorado way.
Some pushed pen and some plough
And others worked in shops
Where brainy men and brawny men
Made motor cars and mops.
Some saw the light on Rivington,
A few on Riverside;
And some were born on Western plains
Out where the sky is wide.
But now we're taking motor trucks
Across where big guns roar;
And, b1ieve me, folks, well roll those
trucks
Where ne'er truck rolled before.
Just forty days in the ermy,
And on my way 10 France!
Just forty days in the army,
And now ! have my chance.

The full report of the War Savings
Stamp campaign in the journal last
week was very illuminating. Man

every pledge must be redeemed to Sc

that it ought to help out some of the

Comparison of income taxes in our
own county and in three others, is
worth making. On an income of $500
the tax in the United States would be
$50, Great Britain 500, France $3l,
and Canada $40. Other large pro-
ducers of revenue in the United
States during the past year were the
taxes on liquors, 444 millions; tobacco,
1856 millions; transportation, 50 mil
lions; inheritances, AZ millions; thea
ter admissions, 26 millions; automo-
biles, "a millions; jewelry and musical
instruments, 10 millions; kilograms
and insurance, 10 millions.
The Liberty Loan campaign in the
country has been tagging. Under the
urging of President Wilson and other
government officials, it is comforting
to know that Manchester has gone
over the top and is still going. If you
have not bought bond, do not let the
beginning of the end appear as the
real end-it may be months before
peace actually comes.
The presidents of all the boards OF
trade in Vermont, which number about
40. have been notified of the action
taken by the patrol committee" OF
the boards of trade of Vermont which
met at the Court House in Manchester
on October sth. 1t is hoped that
every board of trade in Vermont will
Join in this movement for greater
interest among business men and
farmers in legislation on important
matters. There will not be a member
of the legislature who will not be glad
to know what the people of the state
want done. We believe that the people
of the state want good roads, business
like administration in all departments,
more uniform tax assessments and
sheep raising encouraged. The object
of the patrol committee is to place
the wants Of the people belore ule
legislature and the governor in definite
practical form.
Do not forget to order your supply
Of fire wood. Many hundreds OF cords
will be needed before the snow is OIL
the ground and now is the time TO
make your arrangements. Many
wood dealers have lost money by CIV
ing credit for wood delivered and hes
itate about getting out more wood to
be sold on credit. BE ready to pay
