There is movement on foot among
Grand Army men to change Memorial day
from May Both to the last Sunday OF May,
and the suggestion is meeting with popular
favor. The old soldier claims that Me-
mortal day as now celebrated does not be-
long to him; that it is turned into a day
Of sports and frolics and too often dissipa-
tion and that the real significance is lost
sight OF or forgotten and the lessons OF pa
triotism, formerly associated with the day,
are no longer taught.

when time and space have separated
him from it even for brief period !
There seems to be good natured rivalry
here in an effort to make our "hone''
look little neater and thus be the more
inviting to the occupants than all others.
Such rivalry is certainly pardonable.
