pretty generally signed asking the
directors of this school district to
call special election for the pur-
pose of voting upon the question
of bonding the district for SIC. 900

sentiment of the taxpayers and pa

strongly in favor of this PROPOSE
tion. Two of the members of the
school board have been absent from
the district this week but as soon as
they return meeting of the board
will be held and the election called.
as the petition requests, all Of the

Unknown Graves

But ah, the graves which no man knows
Uncounted graves which never can be
fonnd,
Graves OF the precious missing where
no sound
Of tender weeping will be heard, where
NO loving step of kindred! Oh, how flow.
And yearns our thought of them!
More holy ground
OF graves than this, we say. is that
whose bound
Is secret till eternity disclose it's sign.
But nature knows no wilderness.
There are no missing in her numbered
ways.
In her great heart is no forgetfulness.
Each grave she keeps she will adurn,
caress.
We cannot lay such wreaths as summer
lays.
And all her days are decoration days.

Che Veterans

Every year they're marching sower
Every year they're STOPPING lower
Every year the lifting music stirs the hearts OF older men,
Every year the flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them
AS if greving for the future when they'll never
march again.
Every year that day draws nearer,
Every year the truth is clearer,
That the men who saved the nation from the severng
southern sword
Soon must pass away forever
From the Of their endeavor
Soon the roll call of the angel of the Lord
Every year with dwindling number
Loyal still to those that slumber,
Forth they march to where already many have 4
found peace at last,
And they place the farest blossoms
Der the silent mold'ring bosoms
OF the valiant friends and comrades of the battles
of the past
Every year grow DINNER, duler,
Tattered flag and faded COLOR
Every year the hands that bear them find harder
task to do
And the eyes that only frightened
When the blaze of battle lightened,
Like the tattered flags they follow, are grown dim
and faded too
Every year them massing,
Every year watch them passing,
Scarcely pausing hurry after pleasure after gain
But the battle flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them,
And through all the lifting music sounds underone
of pain

Now the Primaries

Everyone especially interested in
political matters has long since be-
come familiar with all that occurred

and OF districts and divisions of the
state greater than one county must
be filed with the secretary of state

Peace

Oh, draw aside the drapery of gloom
And let the sunshine chase tho clouds
away
And gild with brighter glory every tomb
We decorate to day.
And in the holy silence reigning round.
While prayers of perfume bless the
atmosphere,
Were loyal souls of love and faith are
found,
Thank God that peace is here!
And let each angry impulse that may
start
Be smothered out of every loyal breast.
And, rocked within the cradle of the
heart,
Let every sorrow rest
