ARCHERS SELECT AUGUST
 FOR CONTEST AT ROME

ROME, N. Y. June 12.-(P)-This Mohawk Valley city which, in the last few years has become a veri- table stronghold of archery enthusi- asts, is making extensive prepara- tions for the 45th annual tournament of the National Archery Association 20 and 21. A. P. Knight, Sr., of Rome, to be conducted here August IS, 19, president of the national association, has ordered 20 targets, enough to &C., comodate 80 archers in the competi- tion.
 Nationwide interest will focus this year on Rudolph Lagai, the 17-year- old Rome boy whose victories in the tournament of the Eastern Archery Association at Rye, N. r., last year. over pr. R. P. Elmer of Wayne. Pen. several times national champion made him double champion of the Eastern Archery Association. Lagai compet- ed also in the national tournament at Deerfield, Mass. Here again he amazed the elder bowmen by the ac- curacy and consistency of his shoot ing. Though first as at Rye in the double American round, he had to accept third place at the longer dis tances of the double York round. Jas. s. Jiles of Pittsburg, became nation al champion.
 Probably more women than ever before will participate in the tourna- ment.

for the benefit Of our home wish those
who are doing the same thing at home a
happy New Year with all The ferv0r OF
our souls. We wish you a New Year
studded with joys and cr0Wned with nap

guide US to work in harmony with each

and our hands busy with the things that
evil lift US to the level Of our great eH-

pull together we will live to see our Ell
forts crowned with the blessings Of civ
government in the Virgin Islands so that
American rule will not be either a shame
or a disgrace but an object OF pride and a
symbol of satisfaction. Then civil peace
in spite of civil strife will be the order Of
the day.A And prosperity for the work

Then the sons and daughters of the Vlr-

New Years Message
BY
CASPER HOLSTEIN
President Virgin Islands Congressional
Council.

CASPER HOLSTEIN

Most Virgin Islanders over thirty and
especially those of African extraction
will remember the old gO0mbeb drum
that used to wake US with its friendly
humping rhythm during the first few
hours of each new year. GOOD morn
5ng, good morning, and l WjSb goa q
happy NeW Year" Such were The
words of the annual refrain and the
drums seemed vocal as they beat them
out In that way we preserved the dim
traditions Of our ancestors. To them
the New Year means not the return Of
the life OF tree and flower from the icy
underworld of winter for they had no
winter: but the ripening of grain and
the reapipg of crops which meant life
in the form of an assured food supply;
that they might have life and have it
more ab%undantly.
This was the object of those ceremo-
malls which exist in our MOtherland,
Africa-a faint shadow of which We could
still catch thirty years ago in these happy
islands. So for US New Years day has
a,meaning which reaches down into the
very roots of life itself and sets the pulse
beating and the music of things beyond
the reach Of ear and eye. These things
are not lightly forgotten. Distance does
not dim them nor years make them re.
mote. And as the day rolls round hearts
that have beer sundered by seas and
toughened by tine grow warm and tend
er and thrill naison to those other
hearts that are %throbbing at home to the
living, breathing memory of other days
which reincarnate themselves in kindly
deeds and CHEEKY good wishes.
Therefore, we who are working abroad

WHEN IF EVER

What wonderful wisdom may be
had from investigating such myster-
les of the universe as the weight OF
the sunshine in the succulent Gu
cumber. To do this properly secure
an appropriation from Congress Tor
the establishment of bureau, pref
erably at Washington. whence one
may travel forth into cooler and
greener pastures in the hot season,
ever in quest of information OF
course, and expenses paid.
Bureaus Of like sort are invest-
eating the toughness Of beef, on sal
aries that enable them to eat Of the
tenderer portions; the heat Of the
stars, as though when that data is
all indexed and cross indexed it will
enable US to get along whether there
be q coal strike or not.
And then all these activities must
bs duly bulletined to q waiting and
impatient world anxious to throw
them into the wastebasket. When
all is learned that is to be known,
down to the stress on our bootstraps
while trying to lift ourselves over
the fence; when we know the horse
power required to masticate with
false teeth and we are able to eluci-
date the nth degree Of bunk, then,
fellow countrymen, it should be open
time on tax-gatherers.

Military Bodies
Parade in Portland

Portland, Me-, July A parade
of 1850 members of military and pa
triotic odies, including six Grand
Army veterans on foot, coursed
through the principal streets of the
city today in celebration of the
Fourth and of Defense day.
The appearance of the civil war
fighters, all past commanders of
Bosworth Post, G.. A. r., excited ap-
plause all along the line of march.
The oldest was Capt. John Martin,
81. and the others were John Dim
ick, Edward Walker, George Farm
ham, Charles Jordan and George
Richards, ranging down to Is years
of age.
A crowd of 5000 gathered at Deer
ing Oaks, where President Sills of
Bowdoin College gave the principal
address of the defense program. He
said war was an evil, but that at any
time there might be a choice of war
or a greater evil.
THE pacifst propaganda that
urges young men subject to call to
sign pledges never to take part in
war is a form of insidious treason"
he said. He declared that if there
Is another war, capital and labor
should be drafted with young men.
