COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGE 7
No Possibility That Memorial Day
Can Ever Lose its Great and
Holy Significance.

1t has often been said that with the
passing OF the soldiers Of the great
war between the states Decoration
Day would gradually die out, Predic-
tions have been made that the day
would lose its Significance and its
hold upon the American people and
finally disappear from the list Of holi.
days.
The argument IL specious. but It
will not hold good In the test OF ex-
perience. The day set apart for hon
oring the dead heroes of the nation
has too strong hold upon the heat
and conscience and Imagination OF the
country. 1t meets too natural a need.
A people freed by war and saved
for freedom by another long and ter.
rible struggle can never cease to feel
the claim Of lighting patriots to espe.
eial honor. however far their deeds OF
daring and sacrifice may drift into the
past. Americans are not Of the met.

A Paving Investment.

There never was a better tax
levied than one to build and MAN.
tain solid and well-drained high
ways. Good roads not only as
sure safe and rapid travel with
heavier loads, but remove the risk
of breakdowns of vehicles and
Gripping teams on roads full of
bog holes. and broken bridges.
Where good roads are maintained
we have RAPID transit to all parts
of the country, the markets are
easily reached without fear of dis
aster, and the value of land so
greatly enhanced as to pay four
fold the annual tax for road pur-
poses. Let every ward vote an
adequate road and drainage tax,
and keep their highways good In
every season Of the year. 1t is
a paying investment from every
point of view, and one never to
be regretted. Rayne Tribune.
The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-03-27

Bad country roads mean low
average in school attendance. 1t
was this fact that chiefly interes-
ted Mrs. Frank DeMargo, of st
LOUIS Mo, in the good roads
movement, and suggested to her
the idea OF enlisting schoolboys in
the work of road Improvement.
Tn many plasses schools are forced
to close when the roads become
impassable. In the states which
have good roads it has been found
that the average attendance of en-
rolled pupils is eighty, while IN
states that pay no particular at
tention to their highways the
average is bat 81 per cent. Mrs.
DeGarmo's plan of enlisting the
school boys as good roads ca
detsn is most excellent and well
worthy of emulation by others.
It is by no means unlikely that
good roads brioades with their
thousands of quick-eyed boys OBJ
servant of road conditions with
help to develop the greatly-needed
highway engineers of the future.

A meeting was held by the citti

house Friday night to take some
action in regard to the 7. & P.
crossing near the Normal, which is
a constant menance to public safe
tv and resolutions that demand
gates on both sides and until they
can be built, gateman to stand
right at the crossing and be con-
stantly on guard, were drawn up
and UNANIMOUSLY endorsed. Mr..
Pearsall agent of the L. & T.
with Mr.. J. Peterman, the at
torney was in attendance and was
most courteous in his desire to
meet the of the Natchltoches
people and promised to do all in his
power to carry them out.
A gateman was secured the mex
day and will be on guard until the
gates are i'm place, q 80 days time
limit being given and since Mr..
Pearsall's departure some very
