LEST WK FORGET By THOMAS BARRETT “Till lie showed us for our good— IVaf to mirth and blind to scorn — How we might have best withstood Burdens that he had not borne!" —Rudyard Kipling in his new book "The Vineyard"—an attack on Amer ica. * * Then ail that is remembered - Os the defds and of the dead Os the blind, the halt, 'dismembered, And the precious blood they shed. Is the scorn of former allies— Spleen of hatred, vilest gill That blights the heart of nations Worse than wanton Wars that kill. Ten million men went marching W'hnt have they of loot or gain? Theirs naught but pang of parting. Eternal sleep, or living pain! Oh shame, thou gifted songster. Thus to tnock the serpent's hisa! Those who died beside our dead. Sure had nobier aim than this! Turn back oh sage of sorrow. History's pages where they Shine With the g.ist'ning soul of friendship In a fellowship divine. Let us heal our wounds together With the balm of love once more, Till heartstrings bind the nations And thrre is no alien shore. Safe Driving. Give the car from the right the right of way. For courtesy nnd safety, slow down'for car that wants to pass you. Keep your place on a curve and do your passing on the straigbt-of wn.v. Wait for the signal to “go.” Don't jump the light. “I-ose n minute, save a life.” Let approaching car go by before passing car ahead. Follow line of traffic. Move straight ahead, not in and out. Stop upon reaching intersection at “change" signal. When you hare to stop, pull to the side of the street. Wait at an obstruction until you ran turn out without endangering others. “Stop, Look and Listen” at rail road crossings. When you want to park, signal cars behind and back into place. s Dissatisfied with the name of “Skeftem.” the Klwattis Club of Jer- , sejr City has offered a prise for a new nickname for the local Interna tional League club, , The Concord Daily Tribune Where Human lives ' Achievements Os U.

Why Hotel Picture* ASv Always So Ugly. If you’ve ever noticed and wondered why hotel pictures are invariably so homely, you may now know “there's a reason.” Hotels, according to Nor man 8. Hall in an article in this j week’s Liberty, lose thousands of dol lars every year through the tinfor-1 tunate habit of guesta of “removing" ] things from rooms. Towels, bed linen,! draperies and the Mhe are taken, es pecially if :of good quality, and in an effort to discourage tie removal of at least one item, hotel managers delib eraly select pictures that are as ugly as possible. They 'achieve their purpose, the writer points out, for pictures are about the only thing safe from light- 1 \w~t /% Wfflp-tfS* - .*«~ v ""- A rjfe -si fig CL.

The Bible was translated into the native tongue. A printing press and loom were set Jup, and a number of tl}4 natives were initiated into .the mysteries ; of the printing and weaving arts. Improved methods of agriculture were introduced. With the arrival of still further reinforcements the number of schools was increased. A High School was established in 1831.

Love is the only bow on life’s dark cloud, it is the morning and evening star. It shines upon the cradle of the bnbe. nnd sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of Art. inspirer of poet, patriot, and phflosopher. It is the air and light of every heart, builder of every house, kindler of every fire on every heart. It was the first to dream of immortal ity. It fills the world with melody, for music ik the voice of love.—Rob ert G. Ingersoll. i fingered guests. The manager of one of New York's largest hotels explained I to Hall that “the hotel business is » probably the only enterprise in the i world That deliberately goes in for the homeliest in art.
