The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1920-10-15

Sixteen years ago when President
Roosevelt called on the men of Amer
lea to enlist In the great adventure of
cutting waterway from ocean to
ocean through the Isthmus of Panama
that the strength Of the American
fleet might not be divided by voyage
OF weeks from the east to the west
coast there were thousands of yolun-
teers who answered his call. To Pan
anna they went and built the great
canal, fighting all the time against per-
petual heat almost perpetual rain,
fevers and all the pests of the tropics.
Many Of them gave up the struggle
and returned home but others stayed
until the great dream came true. And
they are there yet In that far-fiung
outpost Of America by the locks that
are Tapped by the waters of two
oceans.
Again In April, 1917, came call to
duty--a summons to war-and that
call was not unheard at the canal,
One by one men and women dropped
out of the shops and offices and
donned the army khaki and the navy
blue or the modest cap and cape of
the army nurse corps until on Novem-
Der II, 1918, the day of the armistice,
there were approximately 500 Canal
men and women In uniform.
They saw service in all branches of
American arms. They were on land
and sea, in the air and under the wa
ter. They were versatile people and
they were fighters as their building Of

MEDAL OF HONOR SAVED HIM
New Jersey Legion Member Escapes
jail Sentence by Display Of
His Emblem.

Sentimental considerations left out
of the reckoning, Frank Sadowski, an
American Legion member of Newark,
N. j., found out the other day that a
Congressional Medal of Honor is
handy thing to have.
Sadowski works In the day time and
sleeps at night. That is, he had been
sleeping Of nights until couple of
loving cats began noisy courtship on
his back fence. Sadowski stood it as
long as he could and then went down
in his old barracks bag and dragged
out the trusty automatic he carried in
France. The cats became casualties
and Sadowski became prisoner of
the law and was hailed into court
charged with disturbing the peace.
The evidence was all against him
and he was about to be sentenced
when. inadvertently, he mentioned
that he once killed six Germans sin
gle handed and captured their machine
gun with the same revolver with which
he routed the yowling cats. For this
feat he won Americas highest war
honor, and string of lesser medals.
He produced the medals as proof and
the Judge let him off.

the caral had proved. They came back
with almost every medal and decora-
ton Of the war, including citations
from the French, British and the other
allies.
In September Of last year several Of
these fighters met to form a post of
the American Legion. One had re-
Gently been an aviator in France, an
other as a lieutenant of engineers
had done things In No Mans Land
that high British officers said were i'm
possible. A third, after many months
of volunteer ambulance driving before
America entered the war, had enlist
ed in the French artillery and had,
ended as lieutenant. This first post
was immediately followed by a Sec
ond and the creation of the depart
ment of Panama of the American Lee
gion with headquarters at Cristobal.
The first convention of the depart
ment was held recently on the Island
of Taboga, 12 miles from the MAIN
land Of the Isthmus of Panama and in
sight of the spot where in 1913 vasco
Nunez de Balboa discovered the Pa
cffic ocean. At this convention Ebert
8. Waid was elected department COM
mander and Edward J. Daily, depart
ment adjutant for the coming year.
These offices previously had been held
by Cunningham Patterson and Her
bert Pearson, respectively. Arrange
ments we're also made to have the
Panama department represented at
the Cleveland convention.

ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET.

| CATTLE: The bulk of the steers
available to-day were from range

erned by $1640 basis, with the
bulk of the fat 100 to 225 Id. hogs
selling from $16.25 to that figure,
to packers who were the principal
late operators. The market slumped
to a $16.25 level that representing
the top of the market at the finish.

A Good World.

A Good World.
It's a good old world and true
old world,
In spite of the wrong we see,
An the naughty lips which in sneers
are curled,
Don't steal any Joy from me:
For the selfish hearts and the cruel
10 hands
May walk in the ways O. sin,
But the bloom still comes to the
clover lands
An there's peace for us all to win.
The trees still offer their friendly
shade
To the strong an the tired an
faint, .
An the sky never asks you what's
your trade
Or are you sinner or saint;
The sun smiles down on us one an
all.
An the roses blossom, too,
An whether we rise or whether we
fall.
The day says howdy-do?
Oh we hear so much of the good an
bad,
SO much in the praise O. skill,
That we're apt to think they are only
.g, glad ,..
Who stand on the topmost hill;
But the sky bends over the humblest
boy
In the way that it greets the king,
An the hand O. man cannot steal the
10y
Which the days o. summer bring.
The breeze never asks about caste or
creed,
An the orchards know no pride,
Though men may fatter a daring
deed
An fawn at monarch's side;
The birds an the trees an the sun
an the sky
Know nothing of good or bad,
For they smile on all of us travelin'
by
An hope that we all are glad.
