Phone Main 381 By Rory O’Moore When life was young and I a callow youth, I watched the trail that led beyond the rirn And swore a child's vendetta on the bonds That held me fast, while I so lonfftd the dim Ui.trodden paths 1 saw to venture, and to trend The distance shore, all gleaming, gaily flushed— By ever wanton fancy to be led Each day, with all forbidding voices hushed, Toward that fair isle, Adventure, and to there. Breaking the last grim bond about me tied By precedent of centuries—there to share In every freedom 1 had been denied— To stalk sweet Romance in her very lair And win consent her guerdon hence to wear. That vow, with fervent ardor, 1 have kept And down the open road before me hied; A restless spirit, like a fitful breeze, In every quarter of the world I’ve sighed. And said, not here the isle I seek, not here. But ever other roads awaited me. While hope, reviving, made the way seem clear And my goal in the constant distance I could see. Till, yesterday, familiar looked the road; Deep within me something moved and woke; And 1 stood gazing on the mean abode Where I had grown weary of my yoke. And lo, I knew my search, at last, was o’er; For there stood Romance by the sagging door. r LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS Just Received^=Onion Sets The last shipment which we will be able to get this season has arrived s ml we are selling them at the extreme ly low price of 10c per lb.

The daily report that “war has been declared” by the United States against Germany, or by Germany against the United States, has become a chestnut, but that a state of war actually exists does not seem to require any formal declaration. It seems that we are “into it” at last, and if we be there is only one thing to do—to get in and fight as hard as we can. That we are all ready to “stand be hind the President” when the time comes, goes without saying. That a man has dared to call his soul his own during the preliminary chewing of the rag, does not nec essarily argue any traitorous inclination, and the Herald would like to call the attention of some of his esteemed contemporaries to the fact that there is one editor in this field who was born in the state of Maine so long ago that one of the first things he remembers is seeing the flag hung union down across the maples in a neighbor’s yard when Lincoln was assassinated, and that he considers his brand of patriotism as good as any there is. In those days, in the old Pine Tree State, “ Democrat” was a term of approbrium, but it is not so now, and Woodrow Wilson is the President of all Americans. 1 'fm .

It is very important that you treat your potatoes which you intend to plant in this way as the above mentioned dis eases are quite prevalent in many parts of the county. The county agent has found a number of such cases very re cently; perhaps your own potatoes are affected so slightly that you have not yet detected it. If you are not ac quainted with these diseases you may see some infected specimens at this of flee, which were discovered by the county agent on certain well known farms here in the county, where the growers had not yet become aware that the disease actually was present in their potatoes, because they were not familiar with the disease and did not recognize it in their potatoes.
