VERMONT Is PROUD

When God was making this old world he
chose q littl" corner
In which 10 pile his greenest hills and
put his clearest water,
And sift DER all his loveliest light through
air a trife sweeter
And blest II with the maple tree-to make
it all completer.
The Adirondacks shining far across Cham
plains blue water
Made answer to our green hills smile. ma
jestic in their laughter.
So when men thought to name this place,
Verde Monte" It was at last,
Because her mountain-sldes were green
with verdure unsurpassed.
Sometimes amid the daily grind of many
things to do
We dream again of mountain-tops and
shining waters too;
We call to mind the characters OF those
who made our State
A synonym for solid worth and reputa-
ton great
Our mothers-what fine souls they were.
how noble, good and true.
With grace to bear their burdens all,
and other peoples too.
How straight they walked the path Of
life! What courage and what lovei
One knows that disembodled now, they
walk the courts above!
But here there's one we proudly hail
who'll bear their gracious banner
bear their gracious banner
Up the high places of the world in tn
good old Vermont manner.
Her eyes ere blue as Vermont skies and
clear as running water
Shall Qrace the prpaidentlal pc,lrt our
own vermont Daughter!
So here's 10 her we honor with our most
loyal love.
May naught but happiness attend where
ever she may rove.
So then, three cheers for our old State
and this. her lovely daughter
And hurrah too, for him who will to
Washington escort her.
Although our Governor is all right, we
feel wee bit closer
To our beloved member, now we're Just
about to lose her.
So here's to both the Coolidges, they'll
win where'er they GO
We're proud to think they both are ours
Vermonters through and through!

Mr.. Dodson Warns Against Use
of TreacherOus, Dangerous
CalOmel.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When a calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
II you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable SUBJ
stitute for dangerous calomel Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty acalomel and with
out making you sick, YOU just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow: besides.
it may salivate you, while If you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake
up feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.-Adv.

FAMOUS ARTIST
JOINS JOURNAL
NEYSA McMEIN WILL DRAW PIC
TURES OF G.. o. p. CONVENTION
WOMEN FOR JOURNAL SUB
SCRIBERS

Miss Neysa McMein, foremost OF
Americas magazine cover artists. and
Will Rogers, the famous Oklahoma
cowboy humorist and Goldwyn film
star, have Joined the staff OF the Jour-
nay to do the G. o. p. convention
These aces of art and wit will draw
and write the best there is to be pic
tured and said about the republican
circus.
Miss McMein has agreed to drop her
work in New York long enough to go
out to Chicago, metropolis of her ma
tive state. and picture in inimitable
sketches the great part American
women have to play in national
politics.
''Neysa McMein Girls" have attained
a popularity greater than those en-
joyed by the famous Gibson, Christy
and Harrison Fisher Girls. So you can
appreciate what a triumph the en-
gagemment of Miss McMein is for the
Journal.
Neysa McMein is the best in her line
and she contributes to the Journal
when riding the crest of her tremen-
dous tidal wave of popularity.
Will Rogers is the brightest star in
the armament of humorists. That's
high praise, but it's a fact. He's known
to millions as circus performer, yau-
deville lariat twirling phenom and now
a Goldwyn movie actor.
But, he's perhaps admired more, even.
as Americas rising humorist. Some
years back the took to filling his vau-
deville act with witty chatter about
the news of the day. His comments on
current events were so droll that his
audiences rocked with laughter.
That's why the Journal has engaged
him to write gags every day for
week or so before and during the ma
tional conventions.
His brand Of humor is as fresh and
wholesome as the Oklahoma breezes
that tanned his cheeks in his cowboy
days.

CITY ASKED FOR
CHARITY FUNDS
ANTl-TUBERcuLo socIETY
ASKS AID IN EDUCATIONAL
CAMPAIGN TO BE STAGED.

Petitioning the city to set aside a
stipulated sum to be used for charity
in aiding destitute families and those
actually in need of food and necessi-
ties, F. A. Brink, county chairman of
the Tuberculosis Society, filed a
communication with the commission
ers yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Brink
stated that the county nurse would be
on duty in this county to fight tuber-
culosis and that in many instances the
families in which this disease had got
ten a start were unable. financially, 20
properly protect the other members Of
the family.
The work of the nurse would be edu-
cational, primarily, and reports had
been submitted that the campaign
would be handicapped unless finances
could be secured other than by popu-
lar subscription to aid some of these
families.
The communicative was filed and a
letter was instructed to be sent Mr..
Brink, stating that no funds had been
made available for such work.
There bids were submitted to the
commissioners on privileges of re-
freshments at Bayview park for the
season during June / and November |,
this year. The bids were filed and
the matter taken under consideration.
Mrs Sam Jaffa submitted a bid for the
rights of serving luncheons and eat
ableS only, the sum submitted being
1925 for the season. Sam Bosso sub
mitted a bid Of $170 each month to
cover rights of selling tobacco, cigars,
candy and CONNECTIONS, ice cream.
sodas. fruits and nuts and any other
eatables. The third bid was from
the Central Pharmacy, $225 each
month, covering the sale of all articles
allowed.
During the month OF April 100000
gallons of water were pumped with a
daily average of 2,560,000 gallons Re-
ceipts for that month were $10.203.29
and $7,29745 disbursements.
An ordinance was introduced yes
terday to repeal section 352 of the ord
nance prohibiting the sale of con-
densed SKINNED milk in this city, a
petition for the repeal of the ordinance
having been presented by the local
grocers last week. Under the present
ordinance no SKINNED condensed milk
may be sold fin this city under license
and the grocers stated that firms from
other cities were placing this barnd OF
milk on sale. They claim that it Isl
a cheaper brand and will reduce thei
cost of living considerably on this one
article of food. The ordinance was
passed on first reading.
