MIDDLE INTERvALE.
Our little Blanche had recitation and
song for Memorial Day as follows: Reel
tation:
| Remember the soldiers, the bravest of men,
Cover their graves with the choicest OF
! flowers;
Fold round their headstone the flag of the
free,
They died to make 1t ours
Song:
There are many flags In many lands,
There are flag of every hue.
| But there Is no flag In any land
Like our own red, white and blue.
"Chorus. Then hurrah for our flag,
| Our country's flag,
Its stripes and bright stars too,
For there's no flag In any land
Like our own red, white and blue"
Will some friend or correspondent

writer, Ellen p. Kimball, Bethel, Maine,
