some, that RECALLED our ears in other
years, are not heard this year. Into
the lives of some amongst us has
come the greatest grief that We can
ever know or feel The heavy hand
=; of sorrow has been laid upon some of
you, and it has reached down into
your breasts, and torn the bleeding
heartstrings of your love, until it has
with unseen wounds, that Time may
scar and scar, but will never obliter-
ate. In the homes of some of you
there is vacant chair, whose former
occupant is at rest in some cemetery,
in a grave, in which is buried much
of what you loved in life, but whose
memory, fresh and fragrant, is with
you on to day, and will be with you,
until you too, cross the great divide
that separates life from what we call
death, and find your permanent home,
and make your last settlement in
that promised land, in that Eternity
to which we are all drifting.
It has been many, many years ago,
since first became acquainted with
the old settlers, and received my first
impression of Crawford county, from
under the canvas cover of wagon
that had completed it's journey, and
came to halt, at a camp on the
prairie about four miles east of here.
We who came here at about that time
are disposed to be modest in our
claims to the title of old settlers. We
are willing to concede the undisput-
ed right to that title to those who
were here when we came, but in this
think We are perhaps over modest;
certainly an uninterrupted residence
of twenty-one years in the county
ought to entitle us to the right to
be considered as old settlers.
think, however, that there ought to
be a distinction made between the
old settlers who were here before the
first railroad was built in the county,
and those who came here after the
building of that railroad. Those who
were here prior to the coming of a
railroad into the county it seems to
me are justly entitled to the hon.
or, title and distinction of pio-
neers. The pioneers were the
scouts of the army of civilization,
of which the old settlers were the
skirmishers. There are yet few of
those old scouts amoung us, but in
a few years more there will be no
pioneers in attendance at this annual
picnic, never very numerous, they
are rapidly passing away, and it will
only be short time until the last
of them are gone
Long ago the pioneer days were
days of the past; the agricultural i'm
plements of the pioneer, the sickle,
the scythe, and the cradle, have been
by the mower and self
binder; the breaking pillow, the i'm
plement that turned the first burrows
of the virgin prairie sod, is now only
seen in scrap heaps; it is like Othello,
it's occupation is gone, for the once
vast rolling prairies have been
brought from a state of natures
wildness to a condition of civilized

Mr.. President and Ladies and Gen.

Mr.. President and Ladies and Gen.
tlemen:
l appreciate the honor conferred
upon me, by your Committee, in in
viting me to address you on to day.
l thank the members of the Commit.
ee, and the person or persons, who
had confidence enough in me, to
think of and suggest my humble self
as speaker, to the Committee, for
the distinction in itself, and for the
audience, that in comparison to the
people of Iowa, generally, is as 1.-THE
salt of the EARTH"
l have no hope or thought of ap-
preaching the standard of excellence
established by the brilliant address
es you have heard in the past, on
such occasions as this, from such
eloquent orators as Judge Van Wa
genen, Colonel Saunders, Elder
Smith, L. T. Genung, Judge Smith,
Senator Kenyon, Captain Milliman,
and those of our own talented citi-
zens, who have with such signal cred
it to themselves, and satisfaction to
you, so ably filled the post, to which
l have been assigned on to day.
1t will be my purpose, not to de-
liver lecture, or sermon, not an
address, just plain tale from the
hills and Wales of memory, not from
Kipling either, although the express
ion l have just used is rather Kip
lingesque; but just plain talk, from
q man who was boy on the hills Of
Crawford county, when the prairies
were afire, and when all the world
seemed young.
1t is pleasure to me to see so many
old friends and acquaintances here
to day; it is great pleasure to see
and meet the old settlers, and the
sight of them cannot fail to recall
to mind, to your minds, as we'll as
to mine, the days of old, or the days
of auld lang syne,' and in recalling
them to recall the pleasant memories
of the past, the old time country
dance; the social party, only we did
not call it a social party, it was just
a party; the old spelling school; the
debating club or Lyceum; the grand
winter term of school in a blaze of
glory; the old county fair, with it's
tr0tting horse races; the 4th of July
celebration, with it's bowery dance;
and that old sweetheart of yours; all,
these scenes and recollections, and
many more besides, are pictured in
our minds, as wildly to our mental
vision, as the views of a photo play
appear to our eyes.
Primarily, we are all here for
pleasure, but while enjoying ourselves
the observant amongst us, cannot help
but notice also the tinge of pathos
that permeates such gatherings of
the people as this is, and that colors
with shade of sadness the faces of
many here to day. There are very
few of the real old settlers, who will
not miss many kindly benignant
faces from the crowd. Many a warm
hearty handclasp that we received
in the past, we will look for in vain
TO day. The friendly greetings from |

Natures universal Way Of showing
Emotion, According to Anna

Benefcent nature, says Anna Paw
Iowa in the Strand, intended that
man should dance. Little children
dance in happiness, in sorrow, in
anger They dance about their
mothers in love. Youth dances glo-
riously in exhilaration. Age bows
and sways In grief. Every move
ment or gesture of man that empha-
sizes thought has definite relation to
the dance.
Even animals and birds dance
from the motives that impel human
kind to this form of expression.
might go on indefinitely about
the effect Of dancing, its value and
its benefits, intellectual, spiritual and
physical. l believe, / know, that ev-
cry time we try to express a beauti-
full thought we are uplifted.
By SO much has our better and
higher self been developed and
strengthened. Life is a struggle for
self-expression, the dance is a medi-
um Of expression for all.
Not every one can sing or play.
Few can write verse; and though in
spring and refreshing indeed, listen
ing to music or reading poetry can
be but secondhand self-expression.
Though few can be poets or COM
posers or musicians, every one can
dance. And as an onlooker every one
can appreciate dancing more read
lily and deeply than other arts, since
real appreciation of art must be
largely subjective, and no form Of
art is really felt unless it strikes q
sympathetic chord within us.

WRITING THAT LETTER HOME
Duty That Daughter should Never
Neglect, IL the Assertion Made
by Newspaper.

When a daughter leaves home one
thing she should never neglect, one
thing there is with which no duty
or pleasure should interfere. II is
the letter to mother. It is not
enough that she send a postal card :
Every busy. Win write soon"
Mother's letter should be a budget
Of daily, even hourly, happenings. 1t
should be as far as possible a rehec-
tion Of every thought and action in
the new surroundings.
Mothers box Of lettersl What a
treasure house of Lowell How she
guards it'll How sic dreams over it
and cries over it
1t is hard for mother TO let
her daughter leave the home nest,
so critical a moment it is IN the
latter's life. The daughter should
strive to make the wrench less cruel.
There are hours at home after she
has gone that are happy or dismal
according to whether she is faithful
or careless in mother thought.
Never delay writing the letter
home. 1t is the call supreme. Do
all that you can to please your be-
loved and devoted mother. None
will ever be so appreciative, SO sym
pathetic, so forgiving, so under
standing. No heart will ever beat
more true.-Chicago Tribune.

Keefer and Stepson
Fined; Wife to Ask
Divorces and Alimony

With David Keefer and his step
son, Jack Macy, being fined in Police
Court late Tuesday, the curtain has
been rung down on another act of the
Keefer marital drama.
Mrs. Keefer has announced she will
start the show going again in twelve
months with a divorce suit, in which
she will endeavor to obtain separa
ton and alimony from her husband.
The trial Of Keefer and young Macy
in Police Court yesterday was the
sequel to a fight at the Piedmont
Driving Club last week over a $4,000
automobile. against which Keefer had
instituted bail trover proceedings.
After Keefer had been fined s25.75
by Recorder Broyles, a case of dis
orderly conduct was entered against
the stepson, who was fined S1O.75.

FOR BOOSTER
BUTTON
Georgian to Give Prize for Best
Slogan for AtIanta's New
Half Million Club.

Every good citizen is sbou; 10 gct =
thrill of the real Atlanta spirit. The
100000 Club idea that has taken such
a hold on the city is crystallizing into
a definite organization.
Just to show how strong the appeal
is to Atlantans, The Georgian makes
this proposal:
A prize of $25 will be given to the
person suggesting the best caption for
buttons to be distributed.
The phrase must express the spirit
OF the organization. 1t must tell in
few words the story of the Atlanta
spirit. And to insure that the sug
gestiOn best expressing this thought
viii be the one selected, a committee
of three who typify the Atlanta spirit
will be named as judges.
Show Your Civic Pride.
What a chance to display civic
pride! Far less inspiration than At
lantans are famed for has produced
great poems. Yet love for Atlanta is
so simple and widespread that even
children win be eligible contestants.
When the ad men went after their
national convention once they had a
contest for a motto. This one won:
Atlanta Always Ahead"
Do you get your cue? 1t is as sim
pie as A Il c IL only you are imbued
with the true Atlanta spirit.
Someone recently suggested that the
name of Atlanta should be changed
to Boostville, because everybody is al
ways boosting the town. Wouldn't It
be an honor to be the champion little
booster of the town?
Think Up Caption.
The men who will compose the COM
mittee of judges will be men who
have grown up with the Atlanta spir-
it, men who know It and feel It. Also
| they are men who declare Atlanta
| will have 100000 people by 1920, and
| they are men who will stand high
in the councils Of the 100000 Club
| for the object Of the club is to get
| the 100000 people here.
Think up a caption for the buttons.
