proclamation is as follows:
Comrades of the Grand Army of
the Republic, Department OF Iowa
Forty-one years have come and gone
since the last hostile gun was fired in
the great civil war. A new generation
has come upon the stage of life since
then; a generation who knew nothing
of the hardships, the sufferings, the
sacrifices of that fearful struggle; a
generation who knew nothing Of the
heart rendings that parted husband and
wife, mother and son. brother and
sister, in that terrible contest between
the north and the south.
A majority of those who participated
in that struggle have crossed the bar,
have answered to taps. 1t now becomes
our loving duty to pay tribute to their
memory, by decorating their graves
with flowers.
1 ask all patriotic citizens to assist
in this beautiful ceremony on Wednes-
day, May 80. You will welcome all
auxiliary organizations, invite the
school children and secure speakers
who will teach lessons of patriotism
that will inspire the younger genera
tion with love of country and loyalty
to the flag.
The commander in-chie orders that
President Lincoln's address at Gettys-
burg be read at all Memorial day SER
vices. Post commanders will see that
this shall be done.
The commander-in-ch suggests
that in cemeteries where confederate
soldiers are buried, we should not pass
them by, but that we should drop a
flower upon their graves, not in honor
of their cause, but for the reason that
they were brave men and gallant
soldiers.
/ heartily concur in the suggestion
of the COMMUNICATIVE chief
Accompanying this order is Nos.
and from national headquarters, the
department roster for 1906, and blanks
for chaplain's report of Memorial day
exercises. These blanks should be

to be filed out Immediately after
Memorial day and forwarded to these
headquarters. Post adjutants ar,
requested to examine the roster ant

omissions, that he may correct the copy
to be used by the credentials committe,

manders, present department officers

There is no reasonable excuse for any
man to live in a town if he doesn't
like it. If you have no word of COM
mendation to say for your town, it's
institutions or people, emigrate.
You won't stop the town clock by
going away. The church bells will
have the same musical ring, the little
dogs will play just as we'll and the
pure air, bright sunshine and spark
ling water will have the same health
giving properties. Speak good word
for your neighbor if you can; if you
cannot, don't everlastingly enlarge on
their faults. If you have become
throughtly disgrunted move away
go some where things will suit you.

The Singers Floral Battle

MADAM GAzzANIGA and Madam Freq
lN1 zolini were noted prina donnas of the
New York Opera Company singing in Havana.
Both made hits, and society was soon divided
into two factions. The old folks liked Gaz-
zaniga. while the young men enthused over the
beautiful Frezzolini They sang on alternate
nights, and the ''Johnnies" literally bonn
barded Frezzolini with roses, while the old
people, not to be outdone, covered the stage
with flowers on the Gazzaniga nights.
But the Frezzolini faction was in the ascend
ancy.
One night in "Traviata" bouquets fell fast
at Gazzanigas feet, and pretty white wreath
decorated with Italian ribbons attracted her
attention. No sooner had she picked it up
than she hurled it from her in rage. Her
friends in front were almost petrified by her
conduct, while the Frezzolini adherents Kissed.
Again she picked up the wreath. which looked
like coronet of lilies, and, advancing to the
foot1ights exclaimed in tragic tones, "See;
this is crown of garlic!"
This incident caused many devotees of
Frezzolini to regard it as mean trick to play
on rival singer. After the season ended the
chef of a noted restaurant told of the large
sum of money Madam Gazzaniga's husband
had paid him to create a wreath of garlic.

Adelina Patti and Etelka Gerster

WHILE singing in opera at San Francisco
w Adelina Patti and Etelka Gerster were
leading prina donnas in the same company, and
displayed their affection for each other in many
ways.
On Patti night after the final curtain fell
on Home, Sweet Home" old Governor Crit
tenden was introduced to Patti, and became
very enthusiastic in his compliments, which
suddenly eliminated by his embracing and
kissing her.
The next day newspaper man visited
Madam Gerster and said, Il suppose you
have heard that Governor Crittenden kissed
Madam Patti"
YES" replied Gerster. "What of it?
don't see anything to make a fuss about?"
"You don't?" said the modest journalist.
To which Gerster responded, Certainly not
There is nothing wrong in a man kissing a
woman old enough to be his mother
Another illustration of their lack of fondness
for each other was furnished at the reception
of a New York millionaire during their en-
gagement there. An admirer of PATHS observed
to friend of Gerster's loud enough to be heard
by everybody present, that the diva had re-
markable ear.
"Yes," quickly chimed in Gerster in loud
tones. She has two remarkable ears; in
fact, it is only justice to call them wings"
