we refer to. note .—Ten gallons of rum for building a meetinghouse in St. Johnsbury may be considered a modest allowance; for a similar job in Medford it took five barrels of rum, one barrel of good brown sugar, a case of lemons and two loaves of white sugar. Medford we infer, could afford to be liberal with her own peculiar product. While we have no doubt that the peculiar product was here used to make the tackle run smoothly on that occasion, we feel that the historian of that Vermont town owes it to Medford to furnish documentary evidence of the correctness of his statement. In writing of the raising of the meeting-house in Medford (July 26 to 27, 1769) our historian says: there was no one hurt. Our fathers did not put themselves into that condition that invites catastrophies. and quotes from authentic record of another town (four years later) practically the above invoice, and adds, A natural consequence followed—two-thirds of the frame fell: many were hu

alluded to the following:— I could never have suspected that my quotation from the Boston Transcript would be construed to reflect upon the good people of Medford. I was emphasizing the contrast between the good old times of that period, and the sober new times of today when distilleries are made into garages. The above was accompanied by the more than column article, from which this rum, lemon and sugar quotation was taken. In that article, Beverly, Danvers, Dunstable, Medford, Northampton, Pittsfield and Windsor are alluded to under the title of The Puritanic Present, and the writer thereof credited practically the whole to Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular. As the Vermont historian gives his quotation from the Transcript and not from Mr. Brooks, we are led to infer that he may not have read the latter. But evidently some other had, and none too carefully, and as her own peculiar product was famous, Medford got all that was coming to her. We have in years past heard peo

Medford in War time. On Sunday afternoon, August 12, the Lawrence Light Guard was given a public farewell, prior to its departure for camp at Framingham, which was on Thursday. The various military and patriotic organizations, with the city government, employees and fire department turned out as escort over about seven miles of Medford streets, ending their march at Medford common, where the soldier boys were addressed by the mayor. The local papers have given full accounts of the same. To these for details we refer our readers. By courtesy of the Mercury our frontispiece is a timely illustration of this Medford event. Our boys got safely over and are now somewhere in France. Here's hoping they come safely back, but we know they will do duty well and help win the war. The selectmen from Medford have also gone to the cantonment at Ayer and are in training. The people are responding to the calls for aid in the Red Cross, the Library Fund and recreation help.

Here and there, all about the city, the red service flag with its white center and one or more blue stars indicates that from that Medford home some one has gone to the colors or is doing duty in the war service.

The churches have Old Glory by the altar or just below the cross, and their service flags displayed with impressive ceremonies. The Scouts are busy. Camp Fire Girls in one church gave its flag with twelve stars, singing God bless, God keep our men, and older hearts were stirred as in ‘61 while the Battle Hymn of the Republic was sung. This is but one instance; there are others probably equally impressive and with more names recorded and honored, and we watch the daily news columns with a tense yet hopeful feelin
