The ''Sweet Bye and Bye"

There are differences of opinion as
to whether ''The Sweet Bye and Bye"
is beautiful hymn, but there is no
doubht that it is, or has been, a popu-
ar one. Probably few of those who
have heard it sung in the past Is
years have realized that it was the
subject of litigation pending in the
United States equity court. During
the past week the old case was settled
out of court by the payment of $4,000
by Oliver Ditson company to the es-
tate of Mrs. J. H. Webster, widow Of
the author. Writers Of popular songs
today will rub their eyes when they
hear that this arrears of royalties has
been paid the heirs of the writer Of
this old hymn. Oliver Ditson COM
pany secured rights to the hymn from
Lyon & Healy of Chicago in 1871,
and it was contended that the Boston
firm assumed Lyon & Healy's agree
ment to pay the author a royalty Of
three cents for each copy sold.

BUSY COUNTING NEW NOSES
Recent Membership "Push" VIII Re-
quire Time to Decide Total Of
New Faces Added.

There are two reasons why it will
be impossible for some time to an
nounce the total of new members OBJ
tanned in the Legion's recent member
ship push. The first is the inevitable
lapse Of time necessary to get individ-
ual figures from nearly ten thousand
Legion posts in all parts of the coun-
try-and in some parts Of other coun-
tries. The second is the fact that,
%, the enthusiasm accumulated and
concentrated on that week of effort
has spilled over, the edges and gone
right on effervescing.
The full story of the push-the meth
DDS used, all the way from somebody's
ingenious idea to everybody's solid
hard work-can perhaps never be told.
Governors of more than thirty states
gave whole hearted endorsement to
the push. and the resulting publicity
was of immense value in directing at
tention to the Legion's effort. Gov
ernor John III. Bartlett of New Hamp-
shire, for instance. issued proclama-
ton, exactly as on Thanksgiving. IN
one sense" reads the proclamation,
this is an exclusive affair. as in the
nation only four million, and in New
Hampshire only eighteen thousand
men and women are eligible for mem
berShip. Yet in wider sense, the
push as it is designated. carries
powerful appeal to all Americans who
cherish our national traditions"

it, but too often it is something the
father does not think worth raising.
Then too often, when the sheep,
calf, etc., is sold the child gets moth
ing and parents wonder why their
boys and girls leave the farm at the
first opportunity.
A great change is coming.
People are beginning to realize that
the way to make home and farm life
attractive and keep the boys and girls
interested is just as outlined above.
The Farm Bureaus have organized
boys and girls clubs that have work
ed wonders.
Banks have taken up "Pig Clubs
for boys and girls and they are help
ing the good work along.
Take this idea home and ask your
self if you are doing your part?
Do you want your children to be
come good citizens or the reverse?
1t is up to you.

The Drover's Law.
(RutIand Herald)

The argument is made that the
drovers' law (No. 20 of the Acts of
1929 will make it easy for shippers
in the south part of the state to ship
their reactors to Boston market, rat
her than shipping them long dis
about shippers in the northern part
of the state, providing the Burlington
concern refuses to receive any more
diseased cattle? The fact is, of
course, that certain live stock con-
Germ on the east side of the state
will be benefited by the new law,
while the farmers in at least One-haf
of the state will be worse off if they
lose the Burlington market.

PAID DEAR FOR CIVILIZATlOa
Writer Asserts White Races Made Bad
Bargain in Exchanging Reality
for the Artificial.

When the later voyagers of Europe
warm South Pacific seas they found in
the POlynesian group culture which
was beyond the understanding of most
of them, and which only a few fine
souls glimpsed as an astounding rev.
elation of the natural development of
humanity, and, by contrast, of the de-
pravity of civilization.
They found health and high spirits
Astounding to degree utterly strange
to them, the hardest and most adven-
turous of their white kind. Murder,
mutiny, shipwreck, and desertiOn
wrote red their reactions to the en-
trancing liberty of thought and ac-
ton they found here, and the contrast
with their rude, ugly restricted lives
in Europe, America, or on their ships.
If you would be ashamed of what
the pursuit of profits and proselytism,
hand in hand, has done, read the re-
ports of explorer, missionary, captain
and trader in these waters, and view
the remnant, after beauty and honesty
had been replaced by modernity and
hypocrisy.
1t was In clothing that the first in
sidious approach was made.
In this valley where I am now the
only foreigner, with my word and ex-
ample, life resumes for a time at least
much of the old Marquesan way and
appearance. The mission church, the
first Christian edifice within a thou
sand miles of here, is fast rejoining
the wilderness. Its walls are falling
in decay, and its garden is but a jun
gle. The schoolmaster who taught
vaitahu's children to say, LA France
est lie plus bonnie pays du monde" is
gone.
Existence is become almost as de-
void Of invention and divested OF arti-
ficiality as before the white man came.
| am able to rebuild In my mind the
structure of Marquesan customs and

aspect of Vaitahu and its idyllic days

nuts the native garments of tapa, and
we live as, much as possible perspec-
i've of the past.

Growing Citizens
[ Morrisville Messenger

Like everything worth raising, cit
liens must be made such by training
That is what our schools, churches
societies, ETC., are primarily for, to
make boys and girls into useful, sue
cessful and worthwhile citizens.
Therefore, everything that tends to
help make them better, is worth not

merly Of the Agricultural department
at it's head. The league is financed by
a group Of wealthy men, who have
each drawn something from their own
experience, for every one of these men
is a sef-made man.
Here are a few rules for "growing
good citizens:"
First, let the child take part in the
production for the home.
Second, don't let your children
Show them how to work and earn al
home.
Third, teach the child to love his
work while he is yet child by infus.
| ing into that work the spirit of con
test, challenge and enthusiasm. This
will make work seem like play.
Fourth, make the child's idle schoo
hours and vacation periods an oppor
tunity for the business of production
Salvage the child's idle hours ant
you salvage the child.

lhome-the farm.

More and more the education of tn.
child is being left to the school, which
is all right so far as it relates tx

Use the Road Drag.

(Randolph Herald and News)
The editor of the Barton Monitor
who has been touring Vermont er-
tehsively and writing of his observa-
tons, said mouthful when he ad-
vised a more general use of the hone
or drag on the roads. This mechan-
ism is SO simple in construction and
operation that it gets far less use and
some less credit for accomplishment
than would be the case if an elaborate
machine had to be employed. A drag
drawn over a rough and rutty road
after good soaking rain will smooth,
shape and harden the surface so that
its good effects can be noticed for
weeks. It is indispensable to proper
patrol work. No occasion should be
lost for using the drag.

Now that Vermont has state
prohibitory law similar to the National
Volstead act, Vermont officers are en-
powered to enforce prohibition. There
appears to be less rum running across
the Canadian border in the last month,
by-the-way, due perhaps to the new
Canadian liquor law. Ultimately
liquor smuggling will be as little in
dulged in as is the smuggling of other
