OUR OWN UNITED STATES.

We hear of deeds Of valor great,
That anchored our fair Ship of State
Washington-and at his command
A staunch and courageous band
Who fought a strong, unflinching foe
Through summer s sun and winter :
snow,
And oft with bare and bloody feet
Their fierce attacks would they repeat;
Until at last they won the day
Against the foe in armed array.
Then from Maine to Georgia stand
The Colonies united, hand in hand,
And bade nation new arise
And float her emblem in the skies.
Our own United States.
She braved full many a stormy blast,
Though perils in her course were cast;
For always at her helm there stood,
A staunch commander, strong and good,
And many, many times we hear,
OF all commanders we hold dear,
The greatest, truest, noblest, best,
Il Lincoln, Lincoln put to test
The maxim now well proven to all,
United we stand, divided ave fall, -
He guided us through that perilous
time,
With courage strong and faith sub
lime.
And gave again to our Fathers hand
The North and South; united land.
Our own United States.
Then in the years she grew and grew,
And embraced the North, South, and
great West, too.
A prosperous, contented, and peaceful
land,
From Pacific bluff to Atlantic s
sand,
Her farmer bounteous harvest reaped;
Her miner his golden treasure heaped;
Her buildings spiked the clear blue
sky;
Her motor cars sped swiftly by;
Her great ships ploughed the briny
foam,
And carrying away to foreign lands
Every article ever needed by man.
Her industries we would proudly laud,
And we were pleased with her acres
broad,
Our own United States.
Then came the din of strife from afar;
The heartless Hun, and his bloody war,
France, and her martyred womanhood,
Stirred deep the hearts of just and
good,
The Lusitania's horrible fate
Added fiery fuel to our hate;
The submarine menace, the spy in our
land,
Demanded that we should take our
stand
Tn the Great World War. And Wilson
stood
Calm at the helm of our Ship of State,
With Hoover and Schwab and McAdoo,
The Army, the Navy and People too,
She gained the MISREPRESENTATION in
France
And halted the Huns destructive adj
vance,
Our own United States.
Yes, they may tell us of valor bold,
That happened in the good days of
old;
But greater valor never was seen,
Than that of Uncle Sans gallant
Marine,
And the Army Boys who helped them
run
Back to the Hindenburg line, the
bloody Hun,

TAX EXPERTS LOSING SLEEP
question, when Is Girl Miss?" Is
Puzzline Bureau of Internal
Revenue.

The other day Lew Hahn, executive
secretary Of the National Retail Dry
Goods association, took the Joy out of
life for the experts of the bureau of
internal revenue when he asked
whether corsets were underwear. Now
he has gone and done 1t again, the
query this time being:
when does a girl become miss?"
Trainers of the new revenue tax law
included in the list Of taxables "wom-
ems and misses wearing apparel" Ex-
perts of the bureau, Mr.. Hahn says,
have informed retailers that no tax Is
to be collected on wearing apparel for
girls.
Retailers say there are hundreds and
hundreds of misses. and quite a few
married women, who are so petite that
they can still wear and therefore buy,
girls clothes. Does the fact that such
articles of clothing are to be worn by
women of mature years change the ma
ture of the apparel in the eyes of the
law: or do garments designed for girls
remain girls wear. regardless of the
age of those who buy and wear then? ?
This is the puzzle Mr.. Hahn has put up
to the bureau experts.

A Call for Heroes.

Mans opportunity for the display of
personal heroism has apparently not
ceased at the signing of the armistice,
for call has just been issued In a
London daily newspaper for "volun-
teers 1000 sportsmen Of good
social position, to wear upon a given
day new fashions, to bring back color
and line INTO masculine attire" The
black frock coat with it's ruff1es, the
pink breeches, the silk stockings, and
the powdered wig of colonial days are
conservative as compared with some
of the styles to obtain as fruition of
this idea; at least this Is the opinion
of its proponent, who sets as his def
mite purpose the abolishment of the
dark. unsymmetrical" garments of to-
day and the adoption Of clothes more
in keeping with >the new age of ro-
mantle chivalry. AS a parting word,
he reminds that courage-even to a
degree equal to that manifested by
women in the upkeep of fashionsxis
essential to masculine success.

returned and opened tailoring
shop.

Another Use for AirpIanes,

Men interested in aviation have ad-
vanced the theory that Photographic
maps of cities made from views taken
from an airplane, would be of value as
part Of the records of the fire de-
partments. They would be as valua-
BILE to the fire chief as similar maps Of
the battlefields of France proved to the
commanders of armies. Such map,
for instance, would enable the chief to

FIRE AT BLUEHILL.
Col. Richards Cottage Badly DAM
aged Yesterday.

The attractive colonial cottage
Col. F. D. Richards at Stover's point,
Bluehill. was badly damaged by fire
yesterday. The fire was confined al
most wholly to the basement, but
burned there for two hours, and floor
timbers and floors were burned
through.
The Bluehill firemen did splendid
work to save the cottage, which at
one time seemed doomed. Most of
the furniture was safely removed
from the building, with little dam
age.
The fire started in the basement,
where workmen employed on the cot
tage had had a fire. 1t had gained
considerable headway when discover
ed.
The cottage was built six years
ago at cost ofabout 1000. There
are more expensive cottages in Blue
hill, but none of more attractive de-
sign or more slightly location. No
estimate of the damage has been
made, but the floor timbers and lower
floors of the entire house will have
to be replaced. The whole building

loss is covered by insurance.

WAS ALWAYS POPULAR GAME
Those Who Think There Is Anythino

other Guess Coming.

The high cost of living was Just as
much problem In Elizabethan times
as 1t Is today. The Rev. William Har-
rlson, as quaint gossip as Pepys. and
equally gifted, as chronicler, COM
planned that magistrates in his day
winked at merchants who charged
more for commodities than they were
permitted by law to charge. In that
day, as in this, "bodgers"-this delight
fully descriptive word is of the domi-
mes own coining-were allowed ito
ourn up corn and raise the price of it ::
to carry it home unsold, or to a dis
tant market, If they want more money
than the buyer likes to pay: nav.
they've leave to export 1t for the ben
eft of enemies abroad, so as to make
more profit.
During the world war there was
much talk of certain Americans who
deliberately destroyed carloads of DO
tatoes, cabbages and other vegetables
and foodstuffs in order to raise the
prices of these commodities. Same old
story. There's nothing new, remarks
j. N. H.. in Rochester POST Express.
Again, to bark back to good Canon
Harrison. "pesteriferous purveyors buy
up eggs, chickens, bacon. ETC.. butter
men travel about and buy up butter at
farmers houses, and have raised it's
price from 1Sd to 40d gallon. These
things are i'll for the buyer and the

Is true is that there is no new thing
