The effort of the American Le- gion to have the setup such that should this country be plunged into another war there will be no war millionaires, or the path to become so deeply set with pitfalls, should receive the approval of the people as a nation, not perhaps without the exception of hundreds and thousands of individuals-who weirid prefer the old order. Taking the profits out of war would no doubt destroy much of the incentive of a certain class for war. However, there is another thing to guard against. The Legion points to th'e taking ever the rail- ways and industries during the late war, after a time, but not so late that war profits were abridged and foreshortened. There is more to this story—The, moment the government took over the railways and plants of industry, the work- shops and the needful things to use the plans presented, or some other plan that will be later presented, or through some compromise, the bonus drive will continue—It will be the black beast, the bogy man in every election—It will bring to Washington yearly hordes of Le- gion lobbyists—It will doubtless mean marches on Washington by thousands of ex-service men w]bo have made the bonus a businesi And then someone has pointed out that so soon as the bonUs is dis- posed of, if it ever is, further de- mands will be made and the end- less chain of demand will go on for many years to come, until the ex- service lines are decimated by death. And in all the discussion there must come this inescapable conclu- sion that to.pay the bonus now will mean further heavy taxation when the country is already taxed to death, and that if it is paid by the issuance of billions in greenback certificates—fiat money—thi3 coun- try is in for a period of inflation that will give us a dollar that won't buy much, and the only way the veteran can get anything out of his bonus money is to beat the fail of the value of the dollar by immediate spending. The President and the Soldiers Bonus—The subject has interesting points for discussion. A PORTRAIT OF MR. YOUNG!

It is taking no glory or praise from those men and women who wrought and struggled in the daya when it was quite a question whether St. Lawrence would be 1 able to carry on, to recognize Owen D. Young as really the key man of the present greater St. Law- rence. Their struggles were not in vain, and without them St. Law- rence -would not be today—Without the work of Owen D. Young the present St. Lawrence, as we know it, with its fine group of buildings and broad expanse of campus, its impressive endowment, its splendid body of teachers and students could not have been. It is fitting that the Young por- trait should hang in the Common Room of the Men's Dormitory. Mr. Young was the real builder of the ^Dormitory—While he sought the aid of others to take care of the material needs of building, it was his thought and his work that placed this fine structure on the southern campus, looking off there up the river valley where young men and women walked in those golden days of the nineties, for Little River and the larger river further up were the stamping ground of students who plied the oars or paddles from Little River bridge onward—Days of memory, days of sowing, awaiting the harvest. late the interest of your neighbor on either side of you to have theirs in that same neat and clean ap- pearance, so the response by every- one will mean united cooperation throughout Canton village, and a village with a fine dressed up spring appearance.

LADIES OF FIRST PRESBYTER- IAN CHURCH TO PRESENT COLORFUL PAGEANT \A Pageant 6t the Bride,\ dis- playing wedding party costumes of today and many years ago, will be* presented some time during the month of May by the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church. This will be colorful and interesting. A history will be given of each of the costumes. The committee will be pk'ased to receive edstumes of wedding days both for men and women. A loan of these to assist presenting this entertainment will be greatly appreciated. The costumes need not be elaborate.

Things like this must be avoided should war come and the govern- ment draft all business. And after all very few people profited by the World War. Cer- tainly the man on the street did not profit. There has never been any charge that the people at home- didn't keep the home fires burning. Every one did their bit whether it was buying Liberty Bonds, Victory Bonds, or in Red Cross work. It is not exaggerating the picture to describe the nation as working as a unit for the one end—Winning the war. The war could not have been won by those who went over seas, alone; it was necessary for the reserves training in army camps, ready to go over seas to fight should the war be prolonged, and the millions at home alike did their part in providing the where- with this war was fought. That is the real picture. To see it other- wise is a reflection on the Ameri- can nation as a nation. THE PRESIDENT AND THE BONUS! President Roosevelt continues to insist that should either of the bills for payment of the Soldiers Bonus be passed by Congress that they will receive his veto. It is believed he will do that very thing, though in so acting he may alienate mil- lions of votes—On the other hand will he not gain millions of votes? The other day when Secretary Mor- genthau pointed out that to pay the bonus at this time by any plan means additional taxes. This has awakened the taxpayer to the danger of further tax levies*—The return of nuisance taxes, the tax- ing of everything you eat and wear, the taxing of the coffin you are placed in the ground with, and the hearse that carries you to the burial ground—While millions of bonus voters are turning from Roosevelt, will not millions more turn to him for saving them from more taxes? The House has passed what is known as the Patman Bill, provid- ing for the immediate payment of the bonus in greenbacks-^Such payment being at the 1945 value as adjusted some years ago. The senate may pass this or what is known as the Vinson Bill, backed by the Legion. This plan desig- nates no manner of payment, but that the bonus be< paid, Congress to determine how. Observers feel that the house would override the presidential veto of any bonus bill presented, and the Senate is said to be in doubt. In fact the senate is against the payment of the bonus throiigh any plan now under discussion or that has been suggested, but cer- tain senators fear the wrath of the Legion at the polls and may be driven to voting for the bonus, either bill, and in the end to over- ride the Presidential veto. It is realized that until payment pf the veto is made through one of The Rev. C. H.

Few villages or communities, if any, can boast during the summer months, that they are not infested with flies, the common house fly in particular or other pests. Is the reason not obvious? There is the great possibility for everyone to help lessen the number of these pests if caution is practiced. Right now is the time to fight the house fly before they multiply. During warm spring days, the millions of eggs in rubbish of various kinds will hatch rapidly and within early weeks, the young peseta, accom- panied by their parents will be on your doors or windows awaiting entrance to your warm ceilings or cozy corners. Many will gain en- trance, even though you have pro- vided screens in hopes to prevent them. In another column of this issue is an instructive article contributed by a member of the Canton Fire Department,* suggesting ways to help lessen the causes of fires in your homes. Some of the same suggestions If carried out will help lessen the number of flies and other pests that will be attracted to your home or community, if you allow uncovered refuse to collect or do not provide for its permanent re- moval. Your failure to do this offers the invitation to these pests, which will in large numbers impose upon your generosity, through your neglect. These are clean-up days and they are important ones for yourself and your community. Too much stress cannot be placed upon their importance, and the importance of a careful clean-up frequently dur- ing the summer months. An early -lenn-up in your home and your properCy surrounding will stimu- well worth the driving. He secured ten cows and 1 bull, all young stock, two to three years old, of the Carnation strain of Holstein-Friesians. Seven he ex- pects will be delivered Wednesday and four a little later as the blood test is determined. These will re- place the fifteen lost by reaction in the test. The dairy, it is under, stood, will be added to later. CHEF AT CRUMP'S ENTER- TAINS STUDENTS Frank Calral of Brazil, South America, chef at Crump's Restau- rant, entertained fifteen St. Law- rence University students at a spaghetti dinner Sunday noon at the restaurant. Many of the stu- dent guests were of different na- tionalities, representing Portugese, German, Polish, Scotch, Jewish, English and Irish.

GIRL SCOUT TROOP 3 The weekly meeting of the Girl Scouts of Troop 3 was held Tues- day evening, April 23, at the Can- ton High School. The meeting was a formal one and Mary Coakley was invested into the sisterhood of the Girl Scouts. A hike was held by several members of this troop on Tuesday, April 23. The desti- nation of the hike was King Iron bridge. The girJs ad had a most delightful time. This troop is go- ing to hold a food sale at the Can- ton Electric Light office, May 11.

ROBT SACKRIDER DIES AT ADVANCED AGE (Continued from page one) owned by Barnes & Smithers as a hardware—The Canton Hardware ^-And here the Sackriders were engaged in business up to some time in the nineties. Following the death of Horace D. Sackrider, Robert H. continued the business. Some years before the Sackriders had entered the coal business and this business was continued for some time following the death of Horace D. by his brother, Robert H. Sackrider. In 1892 Robert H. leased the store to Charles and Wesley Howe who for several years conducted a hardware here as Howe Bros. At this time Robert H. entered the First National Bank as a book- keeper and here remained until 1910. The Sackriders were of those who helped establish this bank in 1887 and Robert H. was for many years a director. Robert H. Sack- rider, husband of Mrs. Emma Markley Sackrider, passed away on Feb. 22, 1924. Mrs. Sackrider, after coming to Canton took deep and abiding in- terest in the community. She was a most charming woman, interested in the many things a country vil- lage presents. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church where the Sackriders attended at worship. She was one of the very good Canton women who early rec- ognized the need of the community for a reading room and library and during the long years for struggle from the earliest plan for a library was one of 1 the earnest workers in this cause. When library organiza- tions and library boards were final- ly -established she was made a life trustee. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and a devoted worker in this church and its societies, she was a trustee of Canton Cemetery Association— Evergreen—She was a lover of flowers and a member - of the Garden Club. Mrs. Sackrider was a woman 'ho one might say never grew old. She had an interest in life always. She never suffered the feebleness that comes with four score years to most people. Three or four years ago, when past eighty years, she had a fall near her home and suffered the fracture of a hip. With most people this would mean the end or years of the wheel chair as a cripple. Not so with her, she endured the weeks of pain, suffer- ing and inconvenience of a cast and came through as good as ever. She walked again and though she carried a cane, she did not need it for her support. She was a slight woman, but in that slightness of figure there was the tenacity of life that saw her through, until her recent illness, when the light went out. Mrs. Sackrider was a member of a family of ten children, seven daughters and three sons, and she is the second to pass. A sister, Mary Merkley Nash, died in Mon- treal in 1920. Those remaining are: Mrs. Nellie Stuart, Morrisburg, Ont.; Mrs. Fannie Gibson, Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Clara Jarnes, Morrisburg, Ont.; Arthur Merkley Morrisburg, Ont.; Mrs. Harriet Brady, Morrisburg, Ont.; Wm. Merkley, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Louisa Babcock, Montreal, P. Q.; Albert Merkley, Morrisburg, Ont. An only son, Henry M. Sack- rider, of Larchmont Gardens, N.Y., a former student at St. Lawrence University and a graduate of Pratt Institute, has been for the past sixteen years a draftsman in the Holland Tunnel division of the Port of New York Authority. It is interesting that Mrs. Sack- rider enjoyed keeping a diary and through this dating many years back are very interesting,things, including a complete family record,' kept up to date. There is in pos- session of the Sackrider family, now falling to the son, Henry M. r a genealogical tree of the Sack- rider family. An examination of this shows that the names Henry and Christian appeared in the fam- ily from generation to generation. In the Sackrfder home here are hanging pictures painted by Fred- eric Remington, the artist. Fred- erick Remington was the husband of the sister of Robert H. Sack- rider, and Frederick Remington as a boy spent many happy days at the Sackrider home, the home, of his grandfather, on Miner Street, and later here came, when fame found him out, from time tu time to spend n few days. S The Better Housing Program For several years past, homes all over America have been steadily going down hill. Many property .owners have been unable to pay for normal upkeep and repairs. A far greater number have delayed the larger improvements which mean better housing and better living. You, yourself, are the best judge of whether your home would be 'more desirable with a new coat of paint, a new roof, additional plumbing, lighting fixtures or heating equipment. You know what would improve the appearance, rentabjlity and efficiency of your own business property: If you have cash for propei'ty improvements, cash payment is, of course, the best method. If it seems more convenient to pay for such r work out of your regular income, and you decide that it is advisable to borrow the amount required, we shall be glad to discuss your plans with you.
