From all indications this will be the
biggest commencement the University of

many people are coming up from New

planning elaborate reunions. Circulars

the different meetings lately commence
ment plans have been announced.
Among the classes which will get
together this June is that of 1910 which
according to the circular sent out by
the secretary is planning "a real, rousing
reunion. with many thrilling stunts and
demonstration that the spirit and
Initiative of no cannot be equalled."
The class of 1900 is also coming to Bur-
hngton in force. The announcement of
this class says: "June IS is Alumni day

FIRST u. S. FLAG SALUTED
Honor Received by American Vessel
Mt Statin in 1879

Tradition has it that the first distinc-
tive American flag borne by an American
vessel was saluted at "Stata' or st.
Eustata, the accepted name for the island,
in November, 1776 Orange Town was the
roaring port of the island at that time
and was entirely different from the sleepy
town that is now. In the 18th century
"Statia' was one of the most important
islands in the Caribbees.
During the Revolutionary period of
United States history it was the entire
port for naval and military stores from
Holland, which were of material assist
ance to the belligerent American col
onies. AS result, toward the close OF the
war the port was pounced upon by the
British admiral, Lord George Brytlyes
Rodney. acting under orders from his gov
eminent, and plumber was taken by him
to the amount of sl5,0oO,0CO.
"Statia" belonged to Holland. which
was neutral in the war between Eng
land, France and America, and the island
was a handy depot for shipment and trans
shipment Of all kinds of supplies for
Brtain's enemies. Rodney swooped down
with the declaration of war on Holland
seized every ship in the port, all the goods
in the warehouses, and held tho hugest
auction sale in the world right on the
shore.
"Statia" was recaptured a few months
after by handful of Frenchmen, with
out a shot being fired. The only salts
faction the British got out of it was thai

to be "rsad OUT of the army list at the

HOLD LIBERTY BONDS
You Cannot Sell Bonds Now and Get
Full Value


The United States government borrow
ed money from you to finance the war.
You hold the governments promise to
pay you back. This promise is called
Liberty Bond or Victory note On this
bond is stated the conditions under which
the government borrowed money from
you.
For instance. II you hold a bond Of the
Third Liberty Loan, it states that on
April 18th and October 18th of each year
until maturity, you will receive interest
on the amount you paid for the bond
other issues bear other rates of interest
and other maturity dates, all Of which
are clearly stated on the bond.
Now if you keep your bond until the
date when the government pays you in
full for it, you do not need to worry II,
in the meantime, the price is low one day
or high the next. You and Uncle Sam are
living up to your agreement with each
other, and neither will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now you Will find that the
man you sell it to will not give you dol
lar for every dollar you paid for it. The
price has been brought down because so
many people are offering to sell their
bonds. If the market is flooded with toma-
toes, you can buy tomatoes cheap, but IL
everyone is clamoring for tomatoes and
there arc few to be had. the price goes
up. The same is true of Liberty Bonds.
Short-sighted people are dumping them on
the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of Liberty Bond is this: Hold
the bond you bought during the war; 1t
is as safe and sound as the United States
government itself.
Buy as many more at the present low
rate as you can afford. If you hold them
to maturity, you are bound to make the
difference between what they sell at now
and their face value. You will also re-
ceive good interest your investment
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and buy
more,
