MEMORIAL PROCLAMATION.
Honor tbe (ountrp's Heroes.


@1HE 30th day of May Of each years. day set aside
ul and dedicated to the nations heroes the Grand
~ Army of the Republic. A day for the soldiers
living and dead, day appointed for those daunt]ess
heroes that without distinction of nationality race
of religion, gave their yesto their country. Let US
then this day without distinction of religion race
of nationality garland the graves of the dead and hon
and cheer the living. Let every citizen of Wlmar
pay homage to these patriots because they gave their
lives that we might remain nation, and because
they left not Northern republic, Southern re-
public, Western republic, but republic of the Unit
ed States. Let honor these noble heroes on this
day because they stood guard until the day came
when at Appomattox one flag unfurled it's beauteous
folds both contendng armies because the victo
Of the Union brought peace and prosperity
querors and conquered and that today the conquered
rejoice less than the conquerors that the old flag
has not lost star from it's azure ground Let us
then remember that noble band of heroes that we still
have the privilege and honor of meeting and greet
ing. In very few years more only few tottering
figures will represent the marching file of the Grand
Army; year two beyond that there shall futter
by the windows the last empty sleeve.
L therefore in memory of the soldiers living and
dead proclaim TUESDAY, MAY 30th as day to be OBJ
served by all the citizens pf Wimar in the manner
and style becoming patriotic people, and ask that
all business be suspended and all schools factories
stores, offices and shops and all other places of busi-
ness be closed at II O'Clock noon and remain closed
throughout the balance of that day.

this crime of poisoning punishable by
imprisonment in Saltwater for two

.LUTHERANS CELEBRATE
Norway's independence Anniver,
sary Observed by Norwegian !
Lutherans Of thi, City.

10 spite of the somewhat unfAvor-
able weather which prevailed, the 17th
OF May celebration held by the East
Vinje Ladies Aid society on the Ed.
Tallakson farm was . success, both
az far a. Attendance was concerned %
we'll as in financial way. Towards
noon decidedly cool wind COM
menced to blow and the heavy clouds
did not have q tendency to brighten
up things either but nevertheless tho
crowd which had gathered to COM
memorate the. day upon which Nor
way, the 'Laud of tho Midnight Sum-"
became what it now 10, free and In
dependent kingdom, peacefully united
with its sister nation, Sweden. A
program consisting of selections BY
the Seminary band and q few national
anthems by sextette WAS rendered,
after which Prof. Reque and Prof.
Hilleboe spoke on the Significance Of
the day. Both speakers proved in
teresting and instructive and their
efforts we're we'll received. The lunch
which WAS served st noon was thoro:y
in keeping with the day, the bill of
fare containing among other things
such tempting Norwegian delicacies
as lef=e, fat; br Cd and gorok.ge, "just
like mother used to make" The
ladies realized about S125 from tho
sale of refreshments and this sum wad
added to the fund set aside for the
purpose of paying for various fixtures
at the new church.
In the evening IN excellent musical
program was given by the Lutheran
Free church choir It their house OF
worship in this city. Emil Hegstrom
played "saterjenten's soodae" and
Mrs. P. c. Tonning sang Arne = song,
lover de Hole F]elde'', two of tho
most beloved of Norwegian, compost
lions. Miss Florence r. Porter's
soprano solo, "Min Elskte Jog er
Bunden" and Miss Hilma Johnson's
piano solo, "Ring out the Old, Ring
in the New" were also much enjoyed
and nothing less can be said of tho
selections rendered by the choir under
the direction of Mr.. HeRstrom.
Calvary" trombone solo, wass
played by Peter Govig In . splendid
loIIsil1laa1lIe1,
by John T. Otos. The ante solo rsn-s
dered by Robert Otterness vas worthy
of special mention. Atty. TO. Gilbert
was the speaker Of heevening. In aclear
and concise manner he reviewed that
part of Norway's history which pre-
ceded the nationsl assembly in 1914:
when the constitution now in force was
framed and adopted and he also
touched briefly upon some of those
political questions which at the pres
ent time are uppermost In the minds
of the Norwegian people. In con-
clusion he expressed the hope that
Norway would always remain firm
and united in any demands that would
increase her material strength and
the happiness of her citizens. Z
At the conclusion OF tho program
the audience sang three verses of tho
Norwegian national anthem, "Ja, vi
Elsker Dette Lsndet, =" after which tho
young ladies of the Bethany society
served light refreshments in tho base
ment.

The SIMPLE LIFE
Ways That Are Pleasant aud Paths That
Are Peace.

It is the simple life that gives length
of days. serenity of mind and body und
tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions. bounded
by the desire to do good to ones neigh.
bors. simple pleasures, habits, food and
drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that simple diet
has done her:
IL have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. 1 began rather
sparirgly, until acquired such a lii-
ing for it that for the last three months
| have depended upon it almost en-
tirely for my diet, eating nothing else
whatever but Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper and believe | could
eat it tor dinner with fruit and be sat
isded without other food, and feel
much better and have more strength TO
do my housework.
when / began the use OF Grape
Nuts 1 was thin and weak. my muscles
were so soft that l was not able TO do
any work. l weighed only los pounds.
Nothing that | ate did me any good.
l was going down hill rapidly, was ner-
vous and miserable. with no ambition
for anything My condition improved
rapidly after | began to eat Grape
Nuts food. 1t made me feel like new
woman; my muscles sot solid. my
figure rounded out, my weight in-
creased to 126 pounds in u few weeks,
my nerves grew steady and my mind
better and clearer. My friends tell me
they haven't seen me look SO well for
years.
Il consider Grape-Nuts the best food
on the market, and shall never go back
to meats and white bread again"

Twenty-four Messages on One Wire.

The invention of new methods for
sending a number of messages stimuli
taneously over the same wire contin-
ues, and one of the most recent of
these is due to Professor Mercadier
of the French High School for Post
and Telegraph.
In this method an alternating current
is employed whose frequency depends
upon tuning-folk having. a certain
definite number of vibrations. The
current of such an interrupted circuit
can be broken by an ordinary key, and
signals transmitted over the line wire
by an induction transmitter. On the
line at the distant station are num-
ber of so-called monotelephones which
respond to current of one frequency,
and are turned to the forks in the cir
cults at the sending station.
Thus each particular circuit has its
own telephone, which is connected
by tubes with the ears of the receiving
operator. and responds to the signals
made at the sending station. In all,
twelve transmission circuits are pro-
vided. so that twenty-four messages
can be sent over the line simultaneous
". A double line, or metallic circuit,
is required, but otherwise the appara-
tus is comparatively simple. and in
wolves merely the adjustment of the
tuning-forks and suitable condensers
and inductance coils.-Week's Prog

A Travelling College.

The farmers in Illinois, as well MS
those in other States, last year were
taught scientific farming by rail. The
train consisted of two cars, arranged
to allow speakers to make their talks
aboard, was sort of itinerant agricul-
tural college, sowing knowledge at
every stop. The project was under
the supervision of the University OF
Illinois, and was fosteFed by the Burl-
ington on the grounds that the more
grain the farmers raise the more there
will be to ship over its lines.
The first stop was at Aurora, where
Dean W. A. Henry, of the University
of Wisconsin, talked half hour on the
way to tell good seed, and the kind of
soil it ought to be planted in. Ten
minutes was used in inspecting sam
pies of earth and seed aboard the cars.
Eleven more stops were made before
the train reached Polo for the night.
The next day Dean Eugene Davenport,
of the University of Illinois, was the
speaker, and on the day following DR..
f. II. Hall, State Superintendent of
the Farmers Institute, did the talking.
Every town of Importance on the Burl-
ington lines in Illinois was visited.
The next trip of the "Seed and Soil
Special" will be through Missouri, and
then it will visit Iowa, Western Me-
braska and Wyoming.-Chicago Trib-

Children's Love.

Happiness in marriage is good deal
like happiness in work; it goes far
deeper than mere qualification. While
qualification fades, happiness remains,
and becomes, as it were, part of ones
nature. When my wife and l had
passed the youthful period of our love,
we knew that we had experienced an
intensity of happiness that we could
never know again; but the great COM
pensation was to know that we had
no wish to experience it again, be-
cause we had found something stabld
and better happiness associated with
our most serious interests, with our re'
sponsibilities toward society and to-
ward our children. Moreover, with
nearly all intense qualification there IS
the accompaniment of pain; but the
love of children is, in its very nature,
an unalloyed delight. With the COM
ing of our children my wife and knew
that we had been given the greatest in
centive to good living that human'beinS
can have. If children cannot make
parents live to lead fine lives, nothing
can.-From "The Autobiography of a
Married Man." Everybody's Magazine.

DANCING at Inauaeratlons.

In contribution to tie current
number of tic Century on "The First
Inaugural Bali" Mr.. Giiiiard Hunt
notes that each CT tho t,,ree Presi-
dents that preceded Madison was
permitted to ciosa Tie Gag of his in
auguration by going early to bed. Gen.
eral Washington and jean Adams had
been inaugurated at temporary capt.
ais and Thomas Jefferson would have
rebelled against cer9i.lcny plainly
modelled uron the customs Of royalty.
The new order of things, however
observes Mr.. Hunt, had not given birth
to new ideas of how to manifest re.
joicing. Moreover, "if the method
chosen seems to some to have been
an imitation Of moAarchical customs,
they should reflect, In eXtenuation
that it is an instinct of man co-equal
with his feeling the sensation of pleas
ure to show his joy By dancing"
Such was the genesis of the inaug
uration ball, a function which had
heretofore been associated with the
celebration of the coronation of kings
1t is interesting to know that, while
Jefferson, as Mr.. Hunt intimates,
might have condemned Madison S
Inauguration ball, the sage of Mon.
ticello did not frown upon dancing.
On the contrary, he declared that the

is eighteen years ago since my little
girl, here, was laid in my arms; but

As the good deacon looked at the
blooming maiden, and remembered how
often he had held her, smiling babe,
in his arms, the conviction was sud-
denly forced upon him that that he had
been making an old fool of himself.
The rather embarrassing silence that
followed was pleasantly broken by
David's CHEEKY voice and pleasant
smile.
"You seem to have quite family

shaking his finger at him, with an air
of mock displeasure. "Ah, / see very

with me. What say you, my dear?"
"That | will come very willingly"
