Program-Akron's Lodges.
Whenever Adjutant j. S. Taggnrt,
of Buckley Post, has anything to say,
he says it, and strikes straight from
the shoulder. Adjutant Taggart is
Post reporter, and his weekly accounts
: of the regular meeting of the Post,
are always among the most interesting
features of the lodge column. He
does not enthusiastically approve the
manner in which Memorial day was
observed In Akron, and he criticises
sharply some members of the Post,
for lack of interest exhibited. He
writes thus in his report of last Friday
nights meeting.
'The chairman of the several COM
mittees detailed to visit the schools
made their report 1t seems that the
attendance of the comrades was not
what it should have been, some of the
schools having but one comrade to talk
to six to eight rooms. This is shame
and a disgrace to the post and great
disappointment of the scholars. The
officers Of the Post did all that they
could to urge the comrades to turn out
II this matter is growing to be an old
chestnut with you, why don't you say
so, and not keep the teachers and
scholars preparing and deco
rating and gathering flowers
! for you and then you never
J show up, not even to get the flowers
that the children went to so much
t expense and trouble to gath
err for you. If this is
repeated next year, instead of meeting
you with the drum corps, they ought
to meet you with basket Of hen fruit
( and see that you get all you deserve.
, On the old saying that all the good
men were killed in the army or died
. young will be believed by the teach
i. ers and scholars, you can draw your
, own conclusions as what you are for,
l for 100 turned out on Memorial Sun.
8 day, 6a went to decorate the graves,

: dress of the speaker. Where was this
great aggregation you call Buckley
Post with your four hundred mem,
!. lbers? Aren't you Interested in these
schools and Decoration day ceremOn
les? II you would rather so to n dog
; fight, why don't you say 80 and dc
} taway with the other services"
