effective steps toward food conserva

who are financially able to build
could find no better form of invest

in progress the demand for houses is
far in excess of the supply.

New Law Affects All Towns
The retient legislature passed a
la w putting municipalities in the
State on the budget system and I'm
Ming their operatlnig expenses within
the annual income fra Hi regular
snurces. At tria beginning at the fis
cal year, which is when a new board
teirrea (Uharge, the "expenses for the
coming year must be estimated and a
butt got prepared, . taking into account
the estimated revenue. This must be
based upon the revenue and expense
for ai-Jo previous year and will neces
sitate a careful audit of the town's
noons by a good accountant. Bonds
esmwt be Issued to meet part of the
current expense?, except to meet a
deficit incurred before the passage of
me operation or mis lav. 'However.
this does not apply to permanent Im
provements such as streets, schools
etc. There are probably a good many
towns and cltDoa In the State opera
ting beyond their income, expecting
so)3ie thne in the future to make this
up, but this law forces them to "come
up to the scratiih" and stay within
rrerbnt Iiweomes. '...:. ,

When those to whom we look for information as
to the condition of things and advice as to our future
prospects told us to be economical during the war,
they never intt nded we should stop living, as some
timid folks seem to imagine. -
The country is at war, sure enough-and every
man is expected to do his duty.
And there is need of economy in foodstuffs and
other things, to the end ' that we may be helpful and
efficient.
That's all.
We are fabulously rich,
sources beyond our dreams,

We have natural re

But we must get on the j b in dead earnest.
Billiors are to be spent here by foreign powers--now
our allies-as fast as we can use it. It means not
only work for everybody, but high wages and great
prosperity.

We Must Cblieve in Final Triumph
American should te optimistic tor
two reasons.
First Because we surpass any oth
er nation in the world In the quantity
and quality of material from which
civilization is fashioned.
Second -Because without optimism
it is impossible to makfe the proper
use of the opportunities at hand.
Hope Is necessary to any continued
ttfort. Victor Hugo has declared the
mob a "thh human race In misery,"
Misery Inds its deepest depth in
nopeiessness.
It is the duty of every human being
to beHjve In the final triumph of ev

more reason than any other human
being to belive and to labor. W. J.

Last Friday evening, promptly at
8:30 o'clock, saw the start of the Com
imencement exercises of our Graded
School. The auditorium was filled to
Its capacity in strong contrast to
the small audience that greeted the
little ones a few days previously and
a warm interest was manifested in the
proceedings throughout.
The program consisted of a decla
mation contest, in which William
Harris, William Hester, Charlie Smith
and Frank Hall took part, and songs
by the Irving Literary Society. M:ss
Charlotte Matthewson presided at the
piano, and Mrs. Francis Womaek con
ducted the musical program.
The songs rendered were bright and
cheerful, and very happily chosen.
The first number was the waltz song
from Faust, and later the chorus ren
dered the May March, In both of which
the sweet young voices of the chorus
rang true and bright in simple unaf
fected rendition of these cheerful se-
lectons. There was no straining, or
teaching after unusual effect, and the
chorua, singing from memory, and
performing after comparatively little
preparations, was very creditable in
deed. The only fault to be found with
the musical part of the program was
that there was not imore of It.
Prof Andrews introduced the decla
mants in short, well chosen re narks
which served perhaps more than any
thing else to cement the cordial re
lations that characterized the pro
ceedings of this occasion throughout.
He had an advantage of course, not
yet vouchsafed to his audiencb, in
his knowledge of the timber he Intro
duced that justified the spirit of opti
mism his remarks and his feelings of
confidence prepared the way of happy
fashion for the young, speakers who
were to compete for the medal. .
The first speaker was Willam Hester
who choete as his theme the laudatory
commendation of Hon. Jas. L. Wescott
on the occasion of the nomination of
1-resident Wilson for his second terra
of office. It was a trying speech for
a young man to memorize and deliver
accurately, and with itegard to Into
nation and oratorical effect. As a
pure effort of memory, W411iam Hes
ter's exhibition was remarkable.
There was not the slightest hesita
tion in his delivery throughout, nor
any need of the offices of the promp
ternor indeed any preparation In
advanta of that nature. He deliver
ed the speech word for word in the
original language, and with an air of
confidence that promises well for
this young orator In the future. His
enunciation wa"s good, and blesfcted as
he is with a good robust frame, and'
splendid constitution, he will TTever
lack the steam necessary to . drive
tome weighty -argument, or Bailing
point. It was, as we have said a most
under the difficulties hie experienced la

was most creditable under the circum
stances and we hope to hear him often
in the future whlen he shall not be
so circumscribed by limitations. Ho
has the making of an orator la him,
and will not be discouraged, we hope,
oy his misfortune on this occasion.
William Harris adopted Governor
Blckett'a inaugural address for his
leclamation and Frank Hall followed
.vlth "The Man and the Hoe." Both
hese young men acquitted themselves
most creditably, and Rev. L. W. Ger-
ringer, who was deputed by the com
mittee of judgbs to award the medal,
expressed the sentiment of the com
mittee fully when he said that he
had never before heard declamations
of such splendid character by contest
ants of the age of those who had held
forth that evening. The medal, of
course, went to Willam Hestler, and
the presentation was imade with a very
aensible address by the chairman ot
the comimittee.
Delivering the. baccalaureate ser
mon to the graduating class of Reids
ville at thl3 Graded School Sunday
night Rev. W. A. Lambeth of Salis
bury brought a message of multiple
inspiration to the young people and
portrayed for them their highest call
ing. The congreation was an -overflow
onle and the sermon one of subter
ianean depths, yet an appeal full of
earnest simplicity.
How Boys Would be Kept on Farm
A Colorado farm boy has offered
those suggestions to parents who' want
to keep their boys and girls on the
farm:
Get good books, magazines and
farm papers for the young people to
lead.
Have some kind of club for them;
to attend.
Arrange (matters so that they can
have a party or entertainment once
in a while.
Go with them to church every Sun
day. Arrange it so they can have one or
more picnics evtery year.
Teach them to do all kinds of farm
work by giving them a small tract of.,
land for themselves and showing them
how to raise their crops, and have
them help you with your work.
Givte them a horse which they can
ride or drive when they haven't any
thing to do or when they want to go
anywhere. ,
Teach them, to love an be kind to
animals.
After they have finished their school
send them to the State agricultural
school.
Take time to teaclvhim the "hows"
and "whys" of farm work. The Pro
gressive Farmer. ; .

Ihere is only one place whtrS
you can really feel at home:
that is in a home of your own.
The house that will suit you best is the one built according

It is cheaper to own your own home, especially if you come

he makes good use of this one talent
will have no cavil at this tricks of

This Impassioned speech of a fer
vent admirer of our President, consti
tutes in Itself, the necessary elements
of la broad and liberal education.
The more mechanical reiteration, ot
course, could not be construed in that
asnse. But if William Hester will
!eep the text always in his mind, and
Us structure, and the full meaning of
the wealth of -antonyms and synonims
It contains and give some thought
to toning down a somewhat dogmatic
manner of expressing himpslf, he will
have a splendid basis for the con-
heme of his mothbr, Mrs. J. M. Fitzgerald.
