Memorial Days of sacred significance
are co;nmon in history. All the ma

Among them all the one that America
has set apart as a tribute to her loyal
living and a monument to her heroic
dead is worthy of the highest honor.

respect enough to do honor. by holding
a Memorial day, to those who Won the

Sons and daughters of those who

every patriotic ear in the country. aud
while il was hard to realize that the
gauntlet of battle had been thrown
down, no man hestated to rush to the
front, and they would go to the front
again, if they had to go on crutches.

were the rule and victories the cxcep-

Negroes. After thai the tide turned.

Some dealers will tell you when YOU ask
for JAp-A-LAC: we don t handle advertised
articles. They cost YOU more because the
consumer pays for the advertising
What silly statement to make to an in
telligent person. The fact is this: Any article
of daily necessity, which, is extensively adver-

not the most extensively advertised of their
class? So is JAP-A-I.AC. Be sure you get it.

THOSE OLD TIMES.

This is the time Of year when PEG.
pie ask what has become of the
Thanksgiving and Christmas of the old
days, and deprecate it's passing. One
might ask what has become of the
tallow candle, the homespun clothing
and the hose that grandmother used to
knit. The latter have gone, never to
return. If the former is gone, it's ap-
pearance is probably from the same
cause
Everyone is inclined to look upon
the childhood days as the best, and
to think that all is so different now
That may account LOT some Of the
longings for the times that have been
However, whatever change there has
been is only in line with other
changes. There were no intercolle-
giate football games half a century
ago on Thanksgiving day. Why? Be-
cause there were none on any other
day. People in Iowa observed the day
in more simple manner fifty years
ago. they had to. Iowa was not rails

other state in Tie union then and sell

People did not have the money TO

You make the world more fair, the sky

No wonder for your word to them is

You teach them how the common earth

You find philosophy in tree and flower;
In every limpid stream and lucent

Some simple homily on natures rules,
God knows It's better than the dust OF

Upon your page no shop-worn English

Soiled with the touch of sordid buck

HEARTS CONTENT.

Far over troubled seas there Is on isle
Above where valleys bluest skies are
bent,
Where balmy breezes blow and soft
suns smile
Men call it Hearts Content
And every Prov that rides the sea Of
To that dear distant isle is turned
for aye;
Through battling Gains and stormy
waves of strife
Holding it's doubtful way
Oft in the midmost ocean barque,
And as they pass from each the
challenge sent
Comes back the same across the waters
dark
I'VE steer for Hearts Content"
For many an isle there is so like, so
like
The mystic goal Of all that travail
sore
That oft the wave-worn keels on
strange sands strike
And find an alien shore.
But ever, as the anchor drops. and sails
From off the storm strained yards
are all unbent;
From the tail masthead still the
watcher halls
10, yonder! Hearts Content!"
And so once more the Prov is seward
set;
Hearts still hope on though waves
roll dark around;
And on the stern men write the name
Regret"
And fare forth. outward bound.
Barton Grey.
