The poorhouse business is growing

number Of persons admitted to the
charitable institutions Of New Eng
land during the last six months Is
less than it has been for that same
period in many years.

Reports from the other districts
throughout the country show that the
poor-houses in all the states are feea-
ing the same falling off in business.
Scarcity of labor, high prices paid
to skilled and unskilled workmen,
prohibition, and the cultivation OF IN
precedented habits Of thrifuness
among the American people. are said
to be responsible for the principal de-
crease in the number Of inmates reg
istered in the various poor-houses
and other charitable institutions
throughout the country.
Thousands OF people ID Now Hne
land have invested their savings IN
Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps.
Treasury Saving Certificates ana

Of admissions to the countrys poor
houses.
Hundreds Practice Thrift.
Mrs. F. L. Higginson, director OF
savings for the First Federal Re-
serve District, states that there Is
greater number of people in New

that there is still a large number OF
people in these states, who as yet
have not learned the benefits to be
derived from Thrift and the proper
investment of their savings IN safe
securities, rather than in untried IN
vestments.

An Ode to ..BlIly and Phou. !"

BIZ "6LOCUH.
Let others high their voices raise
And sing ofwonders they have done;
I'll tune my harp TO sing the praise
OF "Billy and Phon" With ME and drum.
Music It's said will charm the feet
And at them for gay scenes to come.
But ~ for me, like to greet
"Billy and Phon" with fife and drum.
Their music made our footsteps light,
Whether In camp or on the run.
Our hearts were cheered from morn till night
With "Billy and Phon" with fife and drum.
"Billy and Phon" are household words
Their presence welcome az the sun;
Their music charms like songbird
With chilly and Phon" With nfe and drum.
Those old camp scenes have long since passed
But those dear boys are ever young;
And we will sing unto the last
OF "Billy and Phon" with ffe and drum.
The above lines, composed by "Slo.
cum" were read at the recent soldiers
meeting at Buck field. "Billy and Phon'
are veteran soldiers of the civil war, and
play the same fife and drum they used
In the service. Their real names are
William b. BRIGHAM and Alphonso F.
Warren-Buckfleld "boys."
