"The Rip Track Crew"

Let NE tell you tale Of the rip
track crew, .
The bunch overpaid III by McAdoo.
How some folks in their minds do
grieve.
At the fabulous wages ri wages
these men receive.
How complaints of this are sent afar
Of the wages they get for fixing the
car.
Do you think it's to much for the
work they do
The wages they get, this rip track
crew?
Don't you feel ashamed, now Nc
Adoo
For some of the awful things you do?
BY paying your men an honest wage
And-ariving others into a rage.
i never have worked with the rip
'0 track crew,
But | know of some of the things
they do.
They work all day in the open air
Under the summer suns hot glare.
In winter, when the blizzards blow,
And lumber and tools are covered
with snow,
They dig, and dig, till wet clear thru
Sure some fine job has the rip track
crew.
In spring when the ground is cover
ed with mud.
When it rains and rains. till you fear
a flood,
When you lay on your back down
under car,
Prying things loose with your wreck
ing bar
With your face and hands all cover
ed with grease,
When it seems that your troubles
never will cease.
Then grin and smile, and be happy

For you belong to the overpaid RI

BILE aud fret
At the fabulous ri wages you work.

Let us stick by the workers, with
heart that is true
Until all of the workers are getting
their due.
So this is the tale of the rip track
crew,
Of the boys with the big wages, ri
and not much to do ri
Give honor tn labor, give labor its
due, t D.

Legend of Germany,
Jan. 26. '19
Dear Mother:-
1t has been a week now since |
wrote you last so just few lines.
l am &c tting along fine and feeling
the best,as far as health is concerned.
| awoke up this morning to find
the ground white with snow, it sure
did make me homesick and long for
old Vermont; the weather is not so
very cold here but think the winter
is milder than usual.
We went for a hike up the Weld
River Valley last week, there is GER
tainly some pretty scenery up there,
ideal for touring with nice car.
Our Company played the 51st Co.
at football yesterday and we were
beaten 6 to 0, the ground was frozen
and very hard to play on and the
fellows got banged up lot, however
it furnished little excitement.
Has Bernard arrived home yet?
have seen nothing of the Xmas
box you sent me and doubtless never
will; we do not get one-half of our
mgil over here and mail is not the
only thing we are beat out of.
| suppose you read in the paper at
home of how the army of occupation
gets liberty and rides up and down
the Rhine in pleasureIb boats and visits
all the old castles and all that stuff,
it makes fine newspaper print and
the people at home have nothing to
do but think it is so. 1t is the same
with every thing as with the mail.
Iwould rather be in France than
here if was to have my choice, for
am completely lost when it comes
to speaking the German language; a
good many of the fellows are picking
it up fast 40 we get along alright.
Weare able to buy cakes, cookies,
pies and candies here but of course
it is nothing like the American stuff
and a single pie costs 5 marks,a "a little
less than dollar. The cookies are
not so bad but the have a cake that
looks like ginger bread, Oh! it is
auful, their bread tastes good for a
change, it is black, very heavy and
sour, it is hard to get though. Their
candy is hard, a great deal like the
fruit drops the kids buy in the states.
They go crazey over chocolate here,
but of course we are as hard up for
it as they are.
| would certainly liked to have
been at Grandma's for that Xmas
dinner, it made me hungry to read
about it., although | had a pretty
good Xmas.
Well must close and hope you are
all we'll at home,I don't look to leave
here before the middle of the sum-
mer at least. Good bye, love to all,

Malcolm Thomas Sadleir

The morning of February 14th saw
groups of villagers with sorrowful
countenances discussing the loss to
the community caused by the death
of Malcolm Thomas Sadleir, and in
the interval which has lapsed since
that day, people have come to realize
how closely his life work was con-
nected with many different institu-
tions.
At the Custombouse where he had
oficiated for period of over twenty
years, and had been promoted to the
important position of cas- Ter, his
loss was severely felt as he held the re-
cord by actual statistics of being the
most accurate accountant in the Dis
trict of Vermont. He was treasurer
of Christ Church, treasurer of the
Essex County Chapter American Red
Gross, and secretary of the North
Star Chapter of the order of the
Eastern Star. He had been Wor-
shipful Master of Island Pond Lodge
Free and Accepted Masons, and Dis
trict Deputy Grand Patron of the
Eastern Star.
Born in this town on October 20,
1867, in the Sadleir homestead on
Mountain Street, he had lived there
and beautified the place by his con-
stant care. Every season his garden
bloomed with a great variety of
fruits and flowers. Children born
among these surroundings were care
fully reared and four live to mourn
the loss of their father: Mrs. Warren
Damon of Newark, Richard, with
the Canadian Expeditionary Forces
in France, Edith, living at home, and
the infant daughter, Elizabeth. His
father. Frederick Sadleir, brother,
F. w. Sadleir of Fort William, Ont.
and three sisters, Mrs. Maurice
Feverez, Buenos Aires. S. A., Mrs.
P. A. Clarkson and Mrs. j. B. Rice
of Montreal, P. O., still survive him.
On October IL. 1892, he married
Grace Huntington who died March
26, 1912. The three elder children
were born of this union. On July IL,
1916, he married Myrtle Ames who,
with her infant daughter will feel
most deeply the loss of husband and
father. Almost his last inquiry was
for the welfare of Betty" who had
been i'll with influenza which disease
developing into pneumonia. was fatal
to Mr.. Sadleir.
Immediately after completing his
high school course he entered the
employ of the Grand Trunk Railway
in their office at the station, and re-
mained there till he entered the Gus
toms service with offices in the same
building. This gave him a broard d
acquaintance with men in business
and railway circles where he was
highly esteemed, not only on account
of his ability in his special line of
work, but also for his courteous
handling of the rather annoying
matters arising in the administration
of customs regulations. He took a
keen interest in athletics, playing an
excellent game of tetnis and was an
expert angler.
1t is difficult to understand at
times the ways os the Infinite Creator
when He calls for one N the prime
of life who seems so absolutely fitted
to his place on earth, but there is
this satisfpation, we know the record
is clean.

Fred Mitchell wants the majors to make
a rule abolishing an out on foul fly.
If the Athletics don't 60 on spring
training trip it isn't likely the Phillies will
either.
Title Walker, once one of our fence
busting gardeners, has joined the retiring
Club.
Manager Mack of the Athletics has
given Outfelder Oldring his unconditional
release.
Branch Hickey of the Cards, who wen,
to France as major, Is recovering from an
attack of pneumonia.
The Cubs of next season promise to
look about as they did in the late campaign,
plus Alexander. That will make them
look even better.
Branch Hickey will probably drop his
job as president of the Cards to become
manager next season. Hendricks is slated

Films That Actually. Talk

Thomas Alva Edison. in his wonderful
new invention, has given Us pictures that
not only move but talk, relates London
correspondent. The kinetophone and the
phonogrsph, and its effects are weirdly real
istic. The machine is so constructed that
the sounds of the voices of the actors in the
picture drama are reproduced in the most
natural way. When figures appear to be
walking toward the front of the stage their
voices get louder as they get nearer to the
audience, and softer as they retreat. When
a plate is smashed the noise of broken
COOKERY is distinctly heard. The notes of
the piano or violin are reproduced when
the actor plays on one of these instruments.
the expression and time being clearly mark
ed .Whistling. singing, opening and
shutting doors, etc., are all heard.
Talking pictures are also to be seen in a
similar invention, the klinoplastikon. The
effects here are most wonderful. Dancers
come from the wings, perform and sing,
and retire to the wings again, and after APP
plause come and bow their acknowledge
ments to the audience in the most natural
manner. What is more, the stage is not in
darkness, as in the case of ordinary bio
scope pictures, but is perfectly light. and
there is no screen. The illusion of living
people singing and dancing as in a real
theatre is thus almost complete, for the fig
ures do almost everything that a living art
list can do.

Miunesota's contribution of fiers to the

cosmopolitan offering, the six officers re-
presenting as many nationalities. Lieut..
Edward B. Cutter, Aroka, killed while on

near Scissors, was an American. His re-
latives will receive the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross, the award having been recon-
mended by his commanding officer. The
Minnesota hiers and their natlonalities are:

A Curse That Fits

In Tom Moore's immortal "Fire Wor-
shippers" is found the following famous
curse; to whom does >it'now apply?
May life's unblessed cup for him
Be drugged with treachery to the brim;
With hopes that but allure to fly,
With joys that vanish while he sips
Like Dead sea fruits that tempt the eye
And turn to ashes on the lips!
His country's curse. his children's shame,
Outcast of virtue, peace and fame
May he at last, with throat of flame
On the parched desert thirst and die!
And when from earth his spirit flies
Just Prophet, may the damned one
dwell
Full in the sight of paradise,
Beholding heaven and feeling hell!
