A prophetic paragraph! Five years 
ago the following appeared in a Bos- 
ton paper: “If we look facts squarely 
in the face, we must admit that the 
United States of A:verica is a great, 
magnificent nation of wealth worship- 
pers and pleasure seekers. “Too many 
of our young men seem to have no 
higher purpose in life than to obtain 
money to spend on pleasure. Too 
many of them have absolutely no 
sense of responsibility for service of 
any kind, to their country, or to their 
communities. A period of military 
training and discipline would work 
wonders for them, would make men 
of them, and would enable them to 
serve not only their country in time 
of need, but themselves at all times 
to some purpose.” Had this advice 
been followed, we would have an 
army now.

The farmer’s duty to his country is 
to feed it. The food situation is as 
important a feature with every belli- 
gerent as the military situation, Food 
and money are the biggest needs of 
the Allies at present, and to the sup- 
plying of these will the United States 
turn.

The committee of public safety is 
well pleased with the responses to 
their invitation to allow the use of

the owner is a real American,

Not only does it cost more to live, 
but over in Beverly it is going to cost 
people more to die, for the Cemetery 
tranagers have asked the aldermen for 
permission to increase the cost of 
burials $1. Where will this HCofL 
end, you ask? Only in death!—if 
the Beverly cemetery managers are 
granted their request.
