I'm Giving Them Both a Start

by C. c. Brown
MY little lad plays all tho live-long
day.
No pausing for rest needs he
And out on the air peals his laughter
gay
AS he chortles with childish glee.
My little lass plays, too, from morn
till night
Although not So full Of noise:
But her face is beaming with smiles
as bright
As she plays with her dolls aud
toys.
II seems only right. little lad and
lass,
That your Daddy should do his part.
And SO as the days OF your child.
hood pass,
I'm giving you both start.
The time will come when this grim
old world
Will turn you from play to work;
Against life's real problems you will
be hurled
With many jolt and jerk.
Now you could spend each nickel and
dime
For pleasure, and that Is well:
Alas, all too soon will come the time
You must face old H. c. l..
So now. little lass, and now, little
lad,
Your Daddy's saving for you,
And It's with q feeling, half glad,
half sad,
He knows you must soon save too.
For the going is rough on the roal
OF life,
And nothing to You I gave
Would help you to win In the bite,
strife
Unless you. too, learn to save.
So Daddy is saving and In your name
War Savings Stamps is buying.
And when you are older you'll find
the game
OF saving is well worth trying.
It seems only right, little lad and
lass,
That your Daddy should do his
part.
And so as the days Of your childhood
pass,
I'm giving you both start

A BITTER Fight
ON BOND issue
Benton County Had One of the
Hottest Elections Held
in Many Years

Benton county voters went to
the polls Wednesday in one Of the
most heated elections held in many
years. They voted on the propo-
sition of issuing 100000 in bonds
for the building of good roads 10
that county,
The election was very much
mixed up Father was arraigned
against son, and son against father,
and brother against brother. The
soldier vote is said to have been
almost solidly for the bonds. They
saw the value of good roads while
in France, and while in training
at the various camps in this coun-
try, and they caught the spirit of
progress incident to good roads.
A large vote was polled and and
the opposition worked hard, but
the proposition carried By a small
majority.
When the Democrat closed its
forms yesterday The majority was
200 with two districts, to hear
from. But should they 60 solid
against bonds the proposition
would still carry.

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION LOST
Big Majority Against the Pro-
position Very Small Vote
in Carroll County

The election Thursday of last
week on the constitutional conven-
tion resulted in a loss of the pro-
position by a big majority. There
has been no published statement
in the daily papers giving any esti-
mate, so far as we have seen, of
the majority that was polled against
the holding of the convention.
The large cities by small maiori-
ties, voted for the proposition, but
the rural districts we're almost
solid against.
The vote in Carroll county was
almost one way. The convention
scheme only received 70 votes, while
l,l35 were polled against a change.
Several districts held no elections,
even the Second, one of the largest
in the county, held no election.

GEN. PERSHING
GIVEN OVATION
War Chief Stirred BY Monster
Welcome Given to "SoI-
dier Of Liberty"

Gen. Pershing after two years
in command of the greatest army
America has ever sent to battle,
returned to the United States Mon
day. AS he stepped ashore from
the huge liner Leviathan he was
handed a commission as a full
general, rank previously held BY
only three Ameicans - Grant,
Sheridan and Sherman.
The stern-faced soldier was not
proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roared
from hundred of thousands of the
threats of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion
as be responded to the greetings
extended by Secretary of War
Baker in his own behalf and that
of the president, as we'll as the
welcoming addresses of represen-
tatives of the senate and house,
the state and city.
The welcome given him would
have quickened the pulse of the
hero of a Roman triumph. Fresh
from the capitals of allied Europe.
where honors had been heaped
upon him, it remained for New
York to show the first American
to lead an American army across
the Atlantic that home, sweet
home" has meaning deeper than
hail to the chief"
No foreign throats could voice
the cheers, no alien hearts could
pulse the greeting that was Gen.
Pershing's. There was hint of
tears in the welcome for those who
gave it knew that not even the
plaudits of a grateful people could
Danish from the sad-faced soldiers
mind the memory Of his own life's
tragedy.
In the midst of his glory he did
not forget to pay a high tribute to
The American Doughboys"
whom be pronounced the finest
soldiers in the world.

THE FREEMAN Home
DESTROYED BY fire
Splendid Home on East Paris
Street and Contents was
Consumed Monday

The home OF Mr., and Mrs. E.
G. Freeman on East Paris street in
Huntingdon was burned to the
ground last Monday morning and
nothing of the contents saved,
but one small trunk.
Mrs. Freeman was preparing
the noon meal on an oil stove,
when she was called to J. T. Peel
er's, near by, to answer the phone,
and had been gone only about 6ve
minutes. On coming out of the
neighbours house she discovered
her own home aaame.
1t is supposed that the FIRE orig
mated from the oil stove, but just
how cannot be told.
The fire alarm was given, but
the flames spread so rapidly that
the house was almost burned down
before the water could be turned
on. About all that could be done
was to save the outbuildings.
j. 3. Gilbert's home, next door
north, was saved BY being under a
metal roof, and the careful watch
fulness of neighbors, who had
gathered at the fire. 1t caught in
two or more places as it was. j.
I. Peeier's home, next door south,
escaped because the wind was fa~
vorable.
MIR. Freeman had a lovely home
and it was nicely furnished, con-
tanning many vaIuables that cannot
be replaced. The loss was at least
$4,000 with only $500 insurance on
the residence and $500 on the con-
tents.
These are among our best peo-
pie and their host of friends SYM
pathize with them in their loss.
They are being rendered by some
of our citizens in q substantial
way and many expressions of sym
patty are extended. Mr.. Freeman
has no matured plans about re-
building and will probably not de-
eide for some time vet.

more so for the leading man, particularly

Dislikes Saints Progress"

ITO THE EDITOR OF Books AND THE
Il Book WoRLD-Sr: Mr. Galsworthy
has his admirers, and they may eulogize
his latest novel, Saints Progress, but there
are other readers who wonder why he
wrote it. Does he think that his group of
characters are typical of these days Of
upheavalf We greatly doubt if they are.
Are there other such young women as Noel,
devoid of modesty as of filial feelingi The
gentle clergyman who is her father would
have been the last TO think himself a
saint" and the label is given him in
irony by the author, whom it pleases to
make the kindly gentleman ridiculous. If
his two daughters gloried in their want Of
Christian faith, they might have spared
their father the pain it caused him and
kept their opinions to themselves, since he
did not provoke argument or attemp.
more than mild statement Of his own
views in answer to their challenge.
We can bear with an unpleasant book
sometimes, if there is anything to be
gained but it-some exposure Of wrong, or
laying bare of false theory of life. But
what is to be gained by unpleasantness
which is gratuitous?
Truth is truth and should be shown at
all costs; we fancy some would reply. And
that suggests the question: But is it
TRUTH And even if it is, what then?
I cannot but think that a good many
readers will not be able to find any suf-
fcient reason for the dose Of pessimism
which is offered us in SAINTS Progress and
the bad taste it leaves In our mind when
it is put down. LOUISE HENRY.
