Mrs. j. R. McRee of SoddY,
visiting homefolks here.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1914-10-21

A veteran of the Civil War who
fought for the cause that lost is
filled with joy today at his home over
the receipt of the Southern Cross of
Honor from the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. He is Robert A. Edmonston,
10 years old, of 1900 Mt. Vernon street.
The bronze medal was presented to the
aged soldier yesterday afternoon in the
Bellevue-Stratford, at meeting Of the
society. by Mrs Frederick Oates, secre-
tary of the organization. The emblem is
In the shape of a Maltese erosion the
front of which appear the words "Daugh-
ters United Confederacy u. @. W." sur
rounding a Confederate battlefag. on the
back the Latin phrase "Deo Vindice-1s61-
1865 Is enclosed in a wreath and en-
circled by the words Southern Cross of
Honor"
Although he has been living in Phila-
delphia since 1872, and was entitled to
wear the cross, Mr.. Edmonston only
made application for the honor recently.
At the age of 1S he left his home in
Fredericksburg, Va. to go to the aid of
the Confederacy and was placed on the
receiving ship Patrick Henry at Rich
mond. Va, in April. 1864. Later he was
assigned to the Virginia.
The Virginia, with the Fredericksburg
and Richmond, started up the James
River to capture City Point. When the
Virginia which was at the head of the
feet, got some distance up the river, 1t
was caught in the flats at low tide.
Shortly afterward the Monitor. OF the
Union Navy, appeared and an engage
ment started, in which the Virginia was
badly damaged and seven members of
her crew killed by a shell from the
Monitor. Mr. Edmonston was also one
of those who helped blow UP the Virginia
at the evacuation of Richmond in order
that she might not fall into the hands
of the Union commander.

Exceptional interest was manifested by
the women. Women is the medium by
which the parcel post will win its way
to farm and suburban households"
Reports from New Jersey are more
than fiattering on the postal exhibit
shown at the Newark Industrial Fair and
at the Trenton Interstate Fair. OF the
latter, the Postmaster General is ad-
vised that merchants and manufacturers
were more than pleased at the depart
ments cooperation in bringing the pub
lie into closer touch with them through
the medium of practical demonstra-
tion of how TO use the parcel post"
A statement Issued by the Postoff1ce
Department declares that Postmaster
General Burleson's suggestion that post
masters the cJhntry over join in giving
the public ocular demonstrations of the
advantage and the best methods of using
the parcel post has been adopted on a
huge scale"
Hundreds of letters in reply showing
the widespread adoption of the plan have
been received by the Postmaster General
Interest In the farm marketing feature
of the parcel post has become so general
that the Postuffce Department has been
compelled to print 100000 additional copies
of the parcel post circular recently
issued.
In exhibits made at the fairs proml-
nence is given to samples of the APP
proved types OF containers for the trans
mission of perishable farm products
through tine mails. Experience shows,
Postoffce Department officials say, that
much still remains to be done by way of
impressing upon the farmers the neces-
sity of properly packing food shipments
in suitable containers.

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

remarkable part is that you don't
know about it-where have you lived
before this?"
I'VE lived in the Southland" an
swered one fairy, and we have never
even heard of winter"
Well, welll' Pondered the beetle,
i have never been out of this corn
feld yet | know all about winter"
Then maybe you can tell us if il is
always cold like this?" asked fairy.
Yes, it is answered the beetle.
IT'S cold and windy and stormy and
snowy-and oh! everything" he add
ed ominously
That doesn't sound very pleas
ant said a fairy.
"Oh, it's not so bad" comforted the
beetle, mot so bad q you find a snug
comfortable home. / go down into
the ground-down to where it is nice
and warm and | don't mind the cold
winter a bit"
81 wish we had warm home" said
the fairies
Wishing don't get one. Why don't
you hunt2' asked the beetle.
we wilW said the fairies
They set to work and found a snug
little home under the stiff corn roots
and there they hid all winter.
And on warm days when the winds
from the Southland blow. they slip
out from their shelter and frolic and
sing among the big corn stalks.
Some day when you pass a corn
field and breeze is blowing, stop and
listen to the rustle-rustle swishl
That's the sound of the fairies talk
ing to the breezes. the sound of the
fairies singing of their Southland

LAUDS WOMEN'S SPIRIT
Clergyman Favoring Equal Suffrage,
Says They Are Unconquerable.

Women as fighters were lauded at a
suffrage meeting today at 9th and Chest
nut streets when the Rev. Thomas w.
Illman, rector of All Souls Universalst
Church, nth street and hardwood ave
nue.. characterized them as the uncon-
querable combatants in the present strug
gle now going on among the nations of
Europe"
The meeting was held under the aus
pces of the Equal Franchise Society of
Philadelphia. Several hundred persons
gathered about a motor car in which the
clergyman stood. Suffrage workers cir
culated among the crowd distributing
literature.
In such wars as these" said the
speaker, women are unConquerable
fighters, and l want to see them armed
with the most effective. the only ade-
quate. weapon, indeed with which to
win their vctorics-the unlimited ballot
They do not simply want the ballot al
matter of personal qualification, but
for the highest social ideas"
