names Of 20 ex-soldiers we once per-

veterans Of the Spanish-American
war, and three, all volunteers, in the
world war. OF those named in "The

was program at the church after
the parade, Of course. The singing
included "Ameriea" and Battle Hymn

The orator Of the parade was a
preacher. But new element entered
into the program. A veteran of the
world war had part. This man was
one who saw service overseas. In his
high school days he had some talent
for readings. He read "The Wood
Called Rouge Bouquet" by Joyce Kill
mer, poet, infantry sergeant, killed in
action July 80, 1918. And thus, !

IN that home coming speech, how
far more truly did the president
voice the sentiments of the American
people than did Ambassador Harvey,
just why those 6ag-wrapped soldiers
died in France. The president knew
that We did not cross the seas to bat
tie because we were afraid not to 20;
because we were fighting for our
skins. Yes, America will agree with
the president, who solemnly pro-
nounced above the soldiers "home
from the wars" "They saw democ-
raey challenged and they defended it.
They saw civilization threatened and
they rescued it. They saw America
affronted and they resented it."

TN the old days slain warriors were
borne home on their battered
shields, so history tells us. Figura-
lively. at least, so came the other day
to the homeland Of America 5000 Of
her sons who had died under her flag
in great cause, and one Of them
was an Emmett boy-Emmett born.
As President Harding observed, the
event has no parallel in history. In
corporate with those silent regiments
was all that Is best in humanity-its
pride, its hopes, its tears, it's loves,
its faith. No wonder the chief Of the
nation felt the touch OF "a hundred
thousand sorrows on his heart" and
was inspired to breathe, in anguished
appreciation Of their heroism and sac
rifice: 1T must not be agaib-" That
prayer often has been breathed thru |
the centuries by those whose hearts |
and souls were in affinity with the |
brooding love which forever dreams
Of peace and brotherhood among men.
And so, as Johnny Davies, Emmett's
hero who gave his all that liberty
might not perish from the earth, will
be laid in his final resting place in a
'ew days amid tears and saluting
runs and dropping flags. reverent
md sorrowful number of friends and
leighbors will pay their last tribute
o his memory, but above all will be I
'eard again the tender, broken words
I the president, and prayed with

NoYAN CREAMERY" BURNED.

TO the ground Of the creamery" at
Noyan, situated in Canada Just across
the line from here, one more refuge for
the thirsty Vermonters has been de
stroyed. The creamery was destroyed
Wednesday morning and the fire is
thought to have been Of incendiary
origin.
Shortly after the going into effect of
the Nolstead act, the creamery" began
to make Noyan famous The discard
ed building was brought into uses in
the shape Of creamery but it is said
that the products of not a single COW
were used. The butter makers and
others were engaged in handling things
stronger than milk and in a short TINA
a business of tremendous size was being
So great was the traffic that
sometimes teams and automobiles oc.
eupied all the available space for big
distance about.
A steady stream of automobiles
travelled through Grand Isle night and
day and some of the accidents which
happened in Grand Isle have had their
origin in the ereamery's products ac-
cording TO the islanders. While the
town Of Noyan was not supposed TO be
wet the creamery" was allowed 10
flourish with but little interruption.
