A. Crist in behalf of the High School board made a speech of welcome to thess young people to this branch of the work. PATRIOTISM vs. BOOZE. Patriotism means taking thought for others and making sacrifice for the good of others.

The great war demands of every man, whether in the shop or on the field of battle, the very best ho can do for his country and for the world. Booze is made because some men demand it, bnt booze-making wastes grain which just now is badly needed for food both at home and by our allies. B'y increasing the price of bread and meat, boeze-drinking; is boosting the high cost of living. Booze-drinking means self-indulgence at the expense of ers; instead of self-denial for the good of others. Booze-drinking partially paralyzes the drinker's brain and nerves so that he cannot possibly do his best work.

Booze-drinking makes the drinker liable to disease and shortens his life. A patriot is a man who, by cutting out his booze, is ready to do his bit toward a speedy victery on the battlefields of Europe. -The Union Signal. Young People's Convention.

C. T. U. Notes FLAG OF THE FREE. Oh, raise the starry banner high And let it wave o'er land and sea, It stands for truth which cannot die, The glorious emblem of the free.

Secure beneath it's sheltering sway, In safety let tne people dwell, That coming generations may It's glory to their children tell. Oh, raise the banner of the free, Above the school house and the home, And iu the islands of the sea, Across the mighty ocean's foam; But only when in justice strong, Should freedom's banner ever wave, It never should protect the wrong, It never should the free enslave. But soon we'll hail the better day Of which our fathers never dreamed; The dram shop outlawed, swept away, A spotless flag, a land redeemed. Then shall the glory of our land Be blest to nations far abroad; We'll give this world a helping hand, And uplift mankind God. -Mathew T.
