DECORATION DAY,

To-day for the thirty-fourth time the
touching ceremony OF strewing the
graves OF the dead heroes OF the nation
with flowers will be observed. 1t was
on May s, 1868. that Gen. Logan as COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army Of
HE Republic, issued his general order
setting forth May 30 OF that year as a
decoration day. with the hope that
it will be kept up from year to year
while a survivor of the war remains to
honor the memory of his departed com
rades."
The fitness Of a memorial day and its
beautiful significance instantly touched
a responsive chord in the hearts of the
people then so recently sobered by the
awful sacrifices of war and the hope
expressed by Gen. Logan was long ago
answered by realization, for May 80 has
become as thoroughly established as a
national holiday as the Fourth of July
and will endure while it endures. In
deed, interest in the observance Of the
day has increased with the passing
years which at the same time have
thinned the ranks of the survivors of
the great struggle.
Recently the criticism has been pass
ed that the day has been gradually los
ing it's memorial aspect and is degener-
ating into a day of mere sport and pas
time. But this is a rather narrow view
to take of the matter. 1t is hardly fair
to expect the rising generation to be ag-
itated by the same solemn memories
their fathers feel concerning events that
happened before they were born, al
though these things may seem but yes
terday to the gray-haired veterans who
cherish these memories.
Let the youngsters have their game Of
ball. 1t doesn't in the least alter their
respect for the old soldiers, who also
will have their parade and their ban
que.., where all will not be solemnity.
The young will always prefer laughter
to tears. The tears will come soon
enough. Loving hands will not be
wanting to strew the fast disappearing
graves of the nations dead with flow
ers, which are not a symbol of the grief
of the tomb, but of the joy'of the resur-
rection.

NEW PHILIPPINE EMBROID-
ERIES.

Superior Skill in Workmanship
Displayed in handkerchief.
Journal of Commerce.
At the Appraisers Stores yesterday a
representative of this paper was shown
a choice assortment of hand-embroid-
cred white silk handkerchiefs, the first
importation of anything of the kind
from the Philippines. The handker-
chiefs were invoiced at from $50 to $35
apiece in Mexican money, which
amounts to about SIS or SIS in United
States currency; but when the customs
duty of so per cent. ad valorem as
sessed on them is reckoned, together
with an allowance for profit to the mer-
chant, their market value will at least
amount to the invoiced value in United
States currency.
The embroideries are worked in cot
ton thread On Japanese silk with a par

patrons in Oskaloosa have been reading
and discussing the latest fad of the
Chicago schools, simplicity in commence
ment exercises. If this fad be intro
duced into other cities, it will be largely
due to the courtesy of the press which
has published and commended this limo
walton. The question often discussed
in teachers meetings-how to interest
the patrons and how to reach the pub
lic?-is solved by the newspaper.
The art student who has drawn a
good design, may claim the attention of
the art critic for a half hour; but the
student whose work shows no ability
can not be supplied with artistic per-
ception; and, hence the art critic makes
FIVE minute comment and passes on.
The browning glory of the public school
system of America is that it has at las.
attracted the unsolicited attention of the
public press If the editor will only
cling to the public school with the tenac-
iousness of the English ivy, he will
prove himself the happy mediator be
tween patron, pupil and teacher. The
newspaper can not benefit any one OF
this trinity without benefting all; be-
cause the school exists for the pupil, and
the patron and teacher are striving to
serve his interests, knowing that the
child of to-day is the citizen and patron
of tomorrow.
Prove all things; hold fast that
which is good" is the watchword of the
new education. Time, alone, will de-
termine what is ephemeral and unsub-
stantial in the present methods and
studies of the public schools. Time has
tested Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare
in literature; Michael Angelo and
Leonardo De Vinci in art; Caesar in
war; and Pestolozzi in education. The
glory of the Christian religion is that
it has been tried and not found want
ing. Better be in the van than in the
rear-guard; better advance than retro
grade. If there are only six grains of
nourishment in three bushels of "fads,'
let them be winnowed out
Then here's to the fad, the index of life
And here's to the press
The conflict and struggle and stormy
strife
Will rescue the things that are best.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DEE MONIES. Iowa. Man Is.


The past week brought much cool
or weather, with an ample supply of
rainfall in nearly all parts of the
state. The mean temperature was
to 5 degrees below normal and light
frosts were reported in all districts
on mornings of 18th, 18th and 18th.
In few localities thin ice was in
evidence, and possibly someldanger
resulted to small fruits and vege-
tables. Generally, however, the
damage viii be slight. The cool and
wet weather has been greatly bene-
fetal to small grain and grass, and
these crops are now in very satisfac-
tory condition.
Some progress has been made in
blowing and planting, though field
operations were delayed two to three
days by wet weather. Reports show
that from one-third to one-half the
corn area has been planted, with the
soil generally in good filth. From
to 10 days of favorable weather will
be needed to complete this work in
all sections. termination has been
retarded during the week, but early
planted corn is coming up fairly
well. All reports indicate an in
creased acreage being prepared for
corn. The general crop outlook is
encouraging.
