The following poem was written for
the occasion by Mrs Emma f Tucker of
East Barre
We're glad to meet you, friends
On this, your festal day,
And cater flowers for you
Along life's rugged way,
The years have quickly sped,
Since you joined hearts and hands
OF sunshine and of shades
And a new home was made.
Three daughters came to bless
This earthly home with love,
But only one remains,
Two in the home above
Granddaughters there are two
To make your path more bright,
And tinge the gloomy clouds
With sunsets rosy light.
It's rarely that one sees
Amid the changing scenes
OF life in old Vermont
With hills and valleys green,
A home keeping the name
OF generations three,
Grandfather, father, son,
Here grew the family tree
A monument there stands
To bear the family name,
The venerable stone house
OF long enduring fame,
Wrought by the skillful hands
OF Pliny Wheaton, first,
It silent witness bears
To industry and worth.
Nature has blessed this spot
With grandeur and with grace,
The mountains silent stand
With ever-changing face
Adown the forest glade
Lies many flowery nook
Loved by the waters OF
The murmuring Honey brook
Mistily, far away
Old Cancels Hump keeps guard,
For storms or weather fair
A keeping watch and ward.
Amid pleasing scenes
We wish you many days,
As down the twilight slope
You wend your quiet ways.
Harhor no vain regrets,
The future lies before,
With joys unspeakable
Beyond the future shore.

The culpable habit of using salts,

WASHINGTON. Nov. ID Chinese
who served in the American army and
have sought naturalization will not be
aided by the War Department in becom-
ing citizens. under a ruling made to-
day by Secretary of War Baker. In
announcing the War Departments pol
icy with reference to naturalization of
Mongolians, the Secretary issued the
following statement:
"The Secretary of War directs that
it appears that some Of the courts ex-
ercising naturalization Jurisdiction
have held that the words any alien
as used in the naturalization law of
May 9. 1918, are all inclusive and have,
therefore, naturalized Chinese who
served in the army of the United States
during the world war; other courts
have taken the contrary view. 1t is
assumed that Joe Chong sought the
opportunity to become naturalized be-
fore a court that refused to admit
Chinese. The War Department appre-
ciates the honest and faithful services
of the man in question. but in view Of
the attitude of Congress on the subject
of Mongolian immigration. consistently
maintained for a long period of time,
and since the matter is, in its larger
aspects, one of national policy outside
of the jurisdiction of the War Depart
ment, it feels that it cannot request
legislation as suggested"
