Memorial Day in the Country.

The small boy all through the North
used to look forward to Memorial Day
as the most glorious festival of the
year. The real meaning of the occa-
sion of course passed over his head,
and he caught merely the glitter of
the uniforms and the rhythm of the
marches as he stepped high in front
of the band, so near that the drummer
could hardly ply his sticks.
Even with all it's memories, the day
had it's lighter aspects that stick in the
mind of grown-ups. The country band
marched down the road as if a presi.
dent were being inaugurated. They
had been rehearsing tom Tit polka
all winter for this momentous occa-
sion.
Village wiseacres might lean ovel
the cemetery fence and remark sarcas
tically. Sounds as if they were bilin
pertaters in them ere horns" But
the day was a thrilling one to al
young life. Pretty girls waved theil
handkerchiefs, the veterans looked
brave and athletic, and the Grove
cheered merrily.
The years have brought man.
changes. Time has turned the musi
into his minor key, until the parade o
the victorious armies of the North is a
pathetic as that of the Men of tn
Gray who went down to defeat. Il
many small rural hamlet there i
scarcely veteran left to keep up tn
custom. A few trembling hands la
flowers on the simply marked graves
but alone and in silence. 1t it a tragi
contrast. Mirror and Farmer.

Boy Scouts as GARDENERS.

The boy scouts in Seattle, Washing
ton, are active members of the Garden
City club. They are cleaning up and
cultivating vacant lots in the city.
They are turning the lots into flower
gardens and vegetable plots and there
by earning money with which to buy
suits and badges and to pay for their
camping equipment. The boys go about
the city hunting for vacant lots and
when they find one they ask permission
of the owner to clean it up and cultivate
it. Once they get permission, they re-
port to the Garden City club which carts
off the rubbish and plows and harrows
the lot and supplies the seed. The
boy scouts do the rest of the work.
After they become frst-class scouts
they earn merit badges.
The Boy Scouts in Carbonate, Ill.
will have a garden contest this sum-
mer. The boys are to plant and cul'
tivate not less than 144 square feet
of ground and to plant not less thar
six different varieties of vegetables
or flowers, or both, and keep a record
of planting, growth, method of cul
ture, and results. Three prizes are of
fered by the committee for the bes
gardens. The committee has secured
through the influence of Congressman

Mrs. Pearl White of Michigan, writ
ing to Farm and Home, has this to say
on the subject of women practicing
false economy: "Many woman will
walk half mile or more to borrow a
pattern that is not even the right size,
trusting to her ingenuity and good sense
to make it fit, but the chances are that
the time alone which she could save
would more than equal the 10-cent ex-
penditure for new pattern, besides
securing better fit and style, and con-
siderable saving of nerves."

A Volcano That Became a Lake.

Unique among the natural wonders of
America is the lake in Crater Lake
National park in Oregon, which is de-
scribed in publication entitled Geo
logical History of Crater Lake" just
issued by the Department of the In
terror. The traveller who, from the
rocky rim of the lake, looks across its
limpid waters to the cliffs beyond stands
where once the molten lava of Mount
Mazama boiled and seethed in its efforts
to find an outlet, for Crater lake is all
that remains of great volcano that
ages ago reared its lofty summit high
above the crest of the Cascade range.
Before the Cascade range existed the
region now included in the State of
Oregon was great lava plateau that ex-
tended from the Rocky Mountains to the
present coast range. Gradually noun
tain making forces became operative;
the surface of the plateau was arched
and there rose the great mountain sys-
tenn which is now known as the Cascade
|
crust the centers of eruptions became
fewer until they were confined to few
high mountains that We're built up by
the flows of molten lava. In this
way were created Hood, Rainier,
and Mazama, from whose sides and
lofty SUBMITS st cams of lava poured
across a desolate land. Hood and
Rainier still lift their snowy caps to the
clouds and fling a defiant challenge to
the mountaineer to scale their steep,
ice-covered slopes. Mazama alone is
gone, engulfed in the earth from which
it came. In what is left of its caldera
lies Crater lake.
Mount Mazama in its prime rose to a
height of over IA, 900 feet above the
sea. Mount Scott, which towers above
Crater lake on the east, was only q
minor cone on the slope of Mount
Mazama. The portion of the mountain
that has been destroyed was equal ir
size to Mount Washington in New
Hampshire and had a volume of II
cubic miles.
From the crest of the rim surround
ing the lake the traveller beholds q
miles of unbroken cliffs which range
, from 800 to nearly 1000 feet in height
, The clear waters of the lake reflect the
vivid colors of the surrounding walls

| ing, in the glare of the monday sun, o.

, view is one of awe-inspiring grandeur

He enters the polling place. The
judges OF election hand him two bal
lots, fastened together One OF these
ballots contains the list of candidates
seeking nomination before the Demo
Gratis of the state-the other is q Re
publican ballot containing the names
OF those nominated by the assembly
end by petition, seeking nomination at
the hands of the Republicans of the
state.
The voter is handed two ballots so
that he may preserve the secrecy OF
his ballot. No one Is supposed to
know which one he votes-but he can
use only one OF them.
The voter enters the booth. II he is
affiliated with the Republican party
he takes the Republican ballot, votes
for the ones he desires to nominate,
FOLDS up both ballots and walks out of
the booth.
He then hands the ballot he has
marked-the Republican ballot-to
one of the judges of election and 1t Is
placed in a box for marked ballots.
The other ballot-the Democratic bal
lot given him. which he did not mark
lis placed in a receptacle for blank
ballots.
The purpose of this is to avoid the
voters asking either for q Democratic
or a Republican ballot. thereby max
ing public his preference and nullify-
ing the intent of the law. which is to
preserve the secrecy of the ballot.
= The. law as construed by able law
yers gives the word party affiliation"
a wide range. If you have usually
voted Republican ticket. or been re-
garded as Republican in the vicinity
in which you live, you have been 'affil-
lated" with the Republican party.
The fact that you have scratched the
Republican ticket in the past does not
mean that you are not affiliated with
The Elbert County tribune., 1912-09-06

although the word Republican" IL
used In this for purposes of illustration
the same application can be made to
voters affiliated" with the Democratic
organization.
If you are affiliated with the Repub-
lican party you can vote the Republi-
can ticket in the primaries.
Your vote in the primaries does not
necessarily mean that you will cast
your ballot for every Republican on
the ticket at the election. You can
scratch your ticket on election day in
November and vote as you please
Just as you have always done-and II
will have nothing to do with your vote
at the primary In September
The matter of presidential electors
occupies no part or place in the prt
mary to be held over the state on
Tuesday, September 10th. The names
of neither Democratic nor Republican
presidential electors-or those OF any
party-will be voted for or occupy a
place on the primary ballot on Sep
tember 1Oth-electors will appear only
on the November election ballot.
Thus, to make 1t plain. the mattei
of presidential electors has nothing te
do with the primaries in September
and the primaries have nothing to dc
with the electoral question or electo
raj candidates.
This much is positively settled BY
the new primary law.
Let us employ an illustration te
make plain the proceeding for every
voter who goes to the primaries to vote
on Tuesday. September 10th.
