Demand for Houses.

During the coming fall season." said Mr..
H. r. Howenstein, the president of the
H r. Howenstein Real Estate Company,
IT expect to be occupied in placing on the
market some two-story apartment houses
which are now being built in Bloomingdale
and some two-story houses which are in
course of construction in Mount Pleasant.
The first named property Is to be rented
and sold to those who want an investment
for their money, although in some cases
such property has been sold to persons who
occupy one of the floor suites and rent out
the other, and in the meantime gradually
paying for the property.
tThere is always market for two-story
houses, as the number of people who want
homes of this class are perhaps more nu-
merous than any other. What are known
as two-story houses contain six rooms and
a central hall and pantry, and are some
times spoken of as eight-room houses.
They sell for 1000 and upward, depending.

votion and the light of Christendom
shall wane, shall it be forgotten in dem
ocratic America. Nearly 40 years have
come and gone since that imperial
genius, the first American, gave his
life, that luminosity, hatred and jeal-
ousy might be smothered by the angels
patience, fidelity, sympathy and JUS
tice, and that the ensign of human lib
ertY, of human progress, of higher man
hood and womanhood, that you fol-
lowed through dreary marches, over
impossible roads and over dead strewa
fields, and up on freedoms hillside you
planted it, and where since no treason
able hand has dared to tear it down
Old Glory waves, to-day the symbol of
opportunity and the hope and inspira-
ton Of the poorest poor in all America.
And since that drama Old Glory has
never been carried into any land for
conquest or oppression, but for liberty
and enlightenment for better homes
and better schools, for free speech and
free thought, for justice, honesty truth
fitness, chastity and character, which
are American opponents of true pat
riotism a patriotism which has saved
and which will continue to save this
republic that it may eternally endure. !"
After stating that we were look
ing into glorious future, and re-
viewing what had been achieved in
the past century, during which all
the really great discoveries had
come to us, he said that war, con-
quest and subiugation have marked
the march of all nations, save that
of America, which name was only
another name for opportunity. In
closing Mr.. Race said:
This century will be strenuous be-
cause we have strenuous young man
setting the pace for the youth of this
Republic. A generous education and
well directed education should now
be the birthright of every child in dem
ocratic America. 1t is his armor with
which he is to 60 forth into the world
to win laurels TO lay at the feet of bis
Republic. With generous education
he will overcome the arid west. and
the east, which was never arid, he will
convert into q great garden. On the
Mains of Manchuria where Russian
and Jap are this day struggling for
ownership, scientific agriculture will
be installed, and hordes of Asiatics
will become well fed, where now they

A charming song by Miss Julia
Tenney was followed by an or
alton by Samuel G.. Peterson in
which he expressed his thanks
to the local G. A. r. for honoring
him with an invitation to address
them, and paid tribute to the an
nual memorial established by Deco
ration Day. 1t had been his priv
lege to visit a number of national
cemeteries, and he had been par
ticularly impressed when at the
National cemetery at Nashville:
when / stood among the hun
dreds upon hundreds of little white
slabs that marked the graves of the
unknown dead soldiers, the great
Civil War with all it's horrors was
brought more forcibly to my mind
than ever before. Here I stood In
the midst of mighty army that was
never disbanded, and thought how
fitting that their camp fires should
ever continue to burn in our hearts.
For in the words of NAPOLEON: "They
died upon the field of honor.
Occasionally we hear protests
against the erection of monuments,
but say all honor to nation that
raises monuments in honor of its
heroes and brave defenders. Their
erection may seem of comparatively
little concern to US, but who can es.
innate the value and influence they
will have upon the boys and girls

in themselves eloquent sermons d

but grand and costly as these
monuments all are there is one
which, to my mind overshadows
them all-Eyen the one builtin hon

lifted above every dome and spirt
in the proud city which bears his

name, dwindles into ipsignifcance
when compared with it. This mon
ument, my friends, has been built
by the war SCARED veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
monuments of stone and granite
may crumble and fall, but Memorial
Day will stand as long as the stars
and stripes shall continue to float
over our glorious Republic.
''Our independence Day with our
barbarous method of celebrating
may in a few short years pass by
unnoticed, but Memorial Day never.
In giving US Memorial day, my
old soldier friends, you have done
your country almost as great and
valuable service as you did in the
early sixties. You have kept the
fires of patriotism burning in the
hearts of the American people, and
it is such occasions as this that fill
the young with enthusiasm and love
of country, that inspired nearly
three million union soldiers to leave
home and everyone that was dear to
them and 60 forth to the battle field
and die If need be that our union
might stand. Tt was this love oil
country and freedom that inspired
nearly three times as many volun-
teers as he could use to answer Nc
Kinley's call in '98. 1t is this pa
triotism and love of country and the
| fact that we are a reunited Union
that has given us a standing as one
of the greatest and foremost nations
in the world.
Each year the ranks Of the old
soldier grow smaller, a few more
years and but few gray-haired
heroes will represent the marching
files of this grand old army, and II
will be only a short time beyond
that and the last survivor Of the
dreadful struggle will have an
swered to the final roll call But
they will never be forgotten, for nc
history will ever be written of this
nation that does not make them .
part of it. and Memorial day will
stand as monument to their mem
