THE DAY AT SOLOMON.

| At o'clock Saturday morning de-
| tail of % of the G. A. R., with their
beautiful banner and flag, went TO Solo
mon City to take part in the memorial
services at that place. John J. Reagan
was assigned commander. Arriving
at Solomon they were received by their
comrades and escorted to the hotel and
other places for breakfast. After break
fast they held meeting in the hall of
the fire company and devised aprogram
for the day. COmrade 0. f. Serl was
chosen officer of the day and Comrade
Sheahan took charge of the little girls
| in decorating the graves and also acted
I as QuartermaSter in procuring the con-
veyances to and from the cemeteries.
The procession extended over a mile.
In the procession was the Solomon band
wagon with forty little girls, dressed in
pure white and holding in their hands
wreathS and bOquets Of beautiful spring
flowers. The Solomon drum corps head
ed the column to the Catholic cemetery
and on arriving there the comrades
formed in two ranks with the little girls
III the center, accompanied by ladies
who acted as the Woman S Relief Corps.
When all was ready COmrade Reagan
delivered the O.. y. r. address and was
followed by the officer of the day with
his address, when Father Leary knelt
down at the head of the grave and made
an eloquent prayer in behalf of the dead |
heroes. The graves were strewn with |
flowers by the girls, after which we re-
turned to the city and continued our |
way to the Protestant cemetery, assem-
bling at the grave as before. The Chap
lain appointed for the occasion was
Oomrade Rev. j. NJ. PerShaw, who de-
hYered the prayer of the Grand Army.
which was impressive and affecting. as
II brought tears from many eyes. Com
rdde j. j. Reagan delivered the 9. A.
Il. address, followed by the address of
the Chaplain and officers of the day.
when the little girls again decorated
the graves of our dead comrades, while
the drum corps with drum and fife was
playing the dead march. The orator
of the day was Mr.. Cooling, who made
an able Grafton for the occasion and was
listened to with interest. Comrade
Reagan called for the national anthem.
My Country lis of Thee" all present
taking part and the sweet voices of the
little girls were heavenly and devine.
The Rev. j. R. Cooper bestowed the
benedlchon. \ brief address was made
by Comrade Reagan in behalf of Abb
lene Post, returning thanks to the La
dies and citizens who kindly volunteered ,
their services in assisting to decorate
the graves of our fallen comrades.
Comrade 0. F. Serl Immediately re-
spOnded in behalf of the ladies and cit
liens of Solomon, in very touching and
appropriate words, after which we re-
turned to the city to wait for the train
TO be in time to participate in the exer- i
,iSeS of the day at Abilene, where we !
arrived about noon. Ia

Decoration Day.

saturday was warm, SeIlldl, pISdo-
ant day, and the early morning gave
promise of big crowd which the later
hours abundantly verified. The town
was filled with people from the country,
and the city's population thronged the
streets. TWAS the largest crowd, with
the exception Of the John A. Martin
political meeting last fall, which has
been seen in Abilene for years. 1t was
the largest county gathering the RE-
FLECTOR has yet seen in Abilene.
The patriotic impulse seems to be
growing with the people, and the RE
sfLRCrOR has yet seen in Abilene.
The patriotic impulse seems to be
growing with the people, and the RE-
FLECToR is glad that it is SO. The
memory of the dead heroes who fought
for the Union should be hOnored and
revered as long as liberty lives in the
hearts Of men.
1t is estimated that five thousand
people participated in the exercises.
The procession was about mile long
and numbered about 900 people. The
following organizations participated;

Post Commander SchOpp was the
Grand Marshal of the day and he was
admirably assisted by the Committee
of Arrangements, Comrades ID. X. Cor
don, O. l.. Moore and G. c. Kenyon.
The immense crowd having arrived
at the cemetery and arranged itself to
the best advantage around the large
wagon containing the young ladies,
Post Commander SchOpp welcomed
the people in a few well chosen words,
after which dirge by the Plowman's
band and then prayer by Chaplain W.
S. Anderson. 4 dirge by the Gazette
band and Comrade G. j. McDivitt elo-
quently introduced the orator of the
day, Col. J. I. Bradley, of Topeka.
The Col. is a pleasant speaker. He
contented himself with describing the
life of a soldier from the beginning to
the end. 1t was more Of camp fire
story than anything else, but it was
enjoyed.
After the Grafton the graves of the
fallen heroes were decorated with
wreaths of flowers, very beautiful and
fragrant, but less fragrant than the
memory of the dead they hOnOred and
less beautiful than the devotion they
crowned. The armed veterans fired
three volleys over the last resting place
of their comrades.
The business houses of the city were
decorated with flags and bunting, and
business was practically suspended from
II O'Clock until o'clock.
A large number of the SolomOnites
attended the exercises at Abilene. At
both places the day will long be re-
Inembered.

Selection Of Seed Corn.

Professor G. Z. Morrow, of the mi.
nois university, says: "The early fall is
the best time in which to select. 1t is
wise to experiment with new varieties
and crossings. Do not, however,
abandon old varieties that have been
satisfactory in any locality. Selection
in the field is most likely to secure good
ears, because then one can notice the
Character and development of stalks.
Undes rablc quail ties for a northern
region are, extremes in height or thick
ne SIS of stalk, a tendency to carry the
ears very high up, cobs of great thick
ness at butt and tip, shallow kernels and
failure to Fill out well at the ends Of
the ears. The dent varieties possess
stalk, leaf and root enough to produce
more than one ear of corn. Persistent
selection of seed with reference to the
production of two cars, would make q
decided gain. There can be no objcc-
ton to picking sccd-corn some weeks
before it would do to put into the crib.
Both kernels and cobs should become
thoroughly dry before there is severe
freezing. The old plan of hanging up
the ears by the husks, in a warm, dry
room, will give good results.'-RAu

Are Apples Injurious 70 CoIts.

When fed in limited quantities apples
are beneficial to colts and older horses.
Sweet apples are much rciished by them,
and have a fa,tening tendency. Sour
apples are said to be an excellent remedy
for worms, and have . beneficial effect
in cases of d%istemper. During the cpl
Zootic which prevailed so extensively in
the fall of 1912, upon 4 farm where a
number of horses and colts were kept
every animal but two were attacked, and
those that were exempt ran at will in an
old orchard adjoining their pasture, eat
ing all the apples they desired. Whether
the apples produced a condition of the
system which enabled them to withstand
the effects of the distempe., or other
wise, is not known. but 1t is a fact that
while all the other horses on the farm
and in the neighborhood suffered, these
two were exempt" Four quarts a day to
yearlings, and SO up to o peck for grown
horses, can be fed 10 advantage, and will
probably pay better than hauling to the
mill and selling for five to eight cents
per bushel. 1t is safer TO put them in a
Clean wide box and chop them with a
square-bladed barn shovel before feed
ing, as this prevents danger from chok-
ing.-CItsyator.

A AND HOUSEHOLD
Green Manurin=.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: When green crops are
grown for the purpose of fertilizing the
soil, as a rule they should be plowed
under when in their most luxuriant and
perfect growth. 1t is then that their de-.
composition has the most beneficial effect
upon the soil, aud this is one important
object in view in growing such crops.
A crop of COW peas, for instance, or one
OF clover or buckwheat, turned under
when in full blossom and containing the
largest quantity of sap, quickly deccm-
poses and contributes to the soil not only
a large mass of matter which has a me-
chanical effect upon it, but also a Ger
tain amount of nitrogen and other USE
full manurial matter which is contained
in the hcrbage; in addition, there is a
chemical action upon the soil by the
acids produced which dissolve a portion
of the mineral matter. If the crop is
permitted to fall down and remain upon
the surface. only one of these effects is
produced, namely, the mere addition of
the matter to the soil, and some of this
may be lost by evaporation and other
wise.

Value of Advertising.

Newspaper advertisements are read
while the advertisers sleep.
The man who advcrtises in dull times
will never feel dull times.
Advertising is the philosophers stone
that turns a mans wares to gold.
a. few gallons of printers ink spread
ovcr q newspaper will equal the services
of an army Of drummers.
Some call it luck; others say it was
business ability. 1t was neither. 1t was
shrewd and judicious advertising.
He who starts without money but
with faith in advertising soon outstrips
the capitalist who does not advertise.
Printers ink has made more fortunes
than have ever been made on all the
stock exchanges and in all the gold
mines in the world.
A good name is better than great
riches, so Solomon said-but the man
who advertiscs literally and judiciously
gets both the good name and great
riches.

Michael Angeles Mistake.

In the central square: of the capitol at
Rome, surrounded on three sides by
buildings, stands a very large bronze
statue of Marcus Aurelius, oncc emperor
of Rome, mounted on a spirited horse.
This is the only equestrian statue which
has been preserved in a perfect condition
out of the many that decorated ancient
Rome. Michael Angelo, who designed
the buildings which at present stand on
this hill, was very fond of this statue,
and especially admired the horse. One
day, while he was studying it, he forgot
that it was not alive, and wishing to see
it in another position, he cried out,
sCam!" which means, 60 on. After
looking at this horse for some time, one
might easily imagine that a shout or a
touch of a whip would make it jump
st. Nicholas.

Air and Sea rs Earth Shakers.

The simultaneous occurrence of earth
ouakcs and hurricanes in Spain and its
neighborhood has led Mr.. X. A. Proctor
TO make some interesting calculations.
A change OF half an inch in the barom-
ctcr over an area of 100, 900 square miles
about equal to that of the British
Isles with the contained seas, would
mean a variation Of some AZ, 600 mil
lion tons in the weight Of the air rest
ing on that surface; one foot of extra
tide extending outward ten miles would
give an extra weight of 720 million tons
on a coast 100 miles long. Greater va
riations of barometric pressure occur,
over much larger areas; and tides some
times reach several feet beyond their
usual limits on much greater lengths of
coast. II take it, then," Mr.. Proctor
concludes, THAT we may fairly consider
that the external action cxerted on the
earth's crust, as the tidal wave sweeps
upon a shore line, as winds heap up the
seas there, and as atmospheric pressure
increases and Enthusiastically dur
ing the progress of some great storms
must play a most important part in pro-
ducing subterranean disturbances. At
every moment of time millions of tons
of matter in the form Of water and air
are being flung hither and thither over
the surface of the earth. Can VIC Won
der if, apart from interior causes of
disturbances, the crust shows signs of
occasional fuctuation:"

Raisinc Calves.

More calves are INJURED every year by
long fasting and overlooking than in
any other way. When calves run with
their dams they take their food often,
and. of course, little at 4 time. but in
our artificial treatment we reverse Ma
lures methods. If calves are allowed to
suck, the injury from long fasting will
be less marked, for the milk is taken at
the right temperature, and in its natural
state. But when We milk the COW, and
then keep her milk twelve or more hours
for the cream to Use before feeding the
calf, we are departing still further from
Natures methods. Since by artificial
methods of feeding. and by breeding for
that purpose. we have greatly increased
the proportion of cream or fat in the
milk of some of our breeds of COWS, it
has been found that calves will often do
quite as well, and in some cases better,
fed upon milk poorer in fat than the
whole milk from their dams. 1t is
