Boost the Boys in Blue.

To enable the members OF the
Grand Army Post of this city to pay
the respect due to their deceased
comrades on decoration day by com
memorating their patriotic deeds dur
ing the Civil war, benefit will be
given at the opera house on Tuesday
evening, May 9Th. by the sons aud
daughters OF vet srans. TIE proceeds
thereof will bs used for placing flowers
and small flag over the graves OF
those who risksd their lives in order
that this country might bs per-
petuated as an indissolnble union
Its observance is a most worthy one
and should fad a genuine support on
the part of all the people who love
"Old Glory" The members of the
local post have done all in their power
to keep up the proper observance OF
decoration day. The burden has
fallen on few. They have kept up
this patriotic custom in noble man
ner. The object in having the con
cert and moving picture is to obviate
the necessity of making solicitation
each year. 1t is hoped this means OF
raising funds will bs successful and it
will be if the people show the proper
\ generous spirit. The admission is
1onlv fifteen cents and each person
Gill get the full worth of his money.
There should be crowded house and
every one approached to purchase
ticket should do so The ranks OF
the veterans of the war Of 6l to 90
are rapidly thinning. A half OF
century has passed siuce the first shot
OF that war arJused the people to the
impending danger. Hence the
youngest of the veterans are on the
shady side of seventy years. The
final roll call will be made with none
to answer. 1t behooves US 10 show
respect to the survivors by assisting
them in their tributes to those who
gave their lives either in battle or
from the subsequent results of wounds,
exposure and suffering. The lesson
thsv have taught in life should be
cherished by the sons and daughters
of veterans and this loving custom
should be perpetuated by them. The
fifteen cents spent on the ninth OF
May for their concert is simply an
iota and an amount that anyone ca
spare, yet several hundred OF such
small sums will make a grand total
that will create fund for the present
and future that will be wisely and
most appropriately expended IN a
most noble cause. Remember the
place and date as we'll as the object.

The experiment Of surfacing streets,
crude oil has proven success In
many large cities this is being used
as we'll as on the roads approaching
to such cities and where heavy haul
ing is done. When one sees the whirl
wind of dust passing down Miner
street, drifting into the stores and
offices, the question naturally arises
why no. surface the street in the
sa me manner. BY cutting out some
Of the dirt and substituting crushed
rock and sand Of which we have an
unlimited supply and then treating it
to coating of crude oil, the objec-
tional feature OF dust will bs largely
obliterated and it will make streets
that will be a pleasure to pass over.
And this oil surfacing could be ex-
tended to other streets which VIII
prove boon to residences. With such
attrative natural conditions as sur
round this city we should aim to
eliminate those things that are OBJ.
jectional and everyone regardless OF
age, cannot help being annoyed by
the clouds of dust that sweep down
the streets and which can in large
measure be overcome. The question
is worth the thought and consider

COMFORTABLE FOR THE BABY
Best Style of Rompers That Can Be
Devised, and Comparatively Easy
to Make.

Here is fine idea for rompers for
the baby. Take any simple dress pat
tern, with either round or square yoke,
Or a plain slip, and, after cutting
straight across the bottom, measure
nine inches from each side toward the
center. Cut out the center between
these points, rounding to a depth of
about five inches in the middle. This
forms the seat, between the legs.
Face with the fabric and work three
buttonholes in the front, with but
tons to correspond at the back. Gath
er the right nine inches in front and
back into band ten inches long, and
to its front end work a buttonhole.
This band is to be buttoned around
the baby's leg above the knee. Treat
the left side in the same way.
When the rompers are put on, but
ton each band around the leg and the
sront to the back. This is the most
convenient of rompers for many rea-
sons, and is not nearly so complicated
to make as it sounds Bingham or
chambray is the best material

raised his eyes again there was that
in them which Mr. Grimm had never

shadow.
'The world-war has long been q

last, "but now-now Think of it! OF

THE purpose of such an alliance?
1t is not too much to construe 1t into
the first step toward a world-war-a
war of reprisal and conquest beside
which the other great wars of the
world would seem trivial For the
fact has at last come home to the ma
tions of the world that ultimately the
English-speaking peoples will domi-
nate it-dominate it because they are
the practical peoples. They have given
to the world all its great practical in
ventions-the railroads, the steam
ship, electricity, tie telegraph and
cable-all of them; they are the great
civilizing forces, rounding the world
up to new moral understanding, for
what England has done in Africa and
India we have done in a smaller way
in the Philippines and Cuba and Por-
to Rico; they are the great cop,mer-
cial peoples, slowly but surely winning
the market-places of the earth; wher-
ever the English or the American flag

is being spoken, and there the peoples
