A sOUTHERNER's MEMORIAL
DAY SENTIMENT.

May 80 has been set aside by
northern states as Memorial
day. Everywhere that a FEEDER
al soldier is buried his last rest
ing place is made beautiful on
this date by loyal hands and low
ing hearts. The soldiers body
for the time being rests under
mounds of buds and blossoms,
while the flag for which he
fought-our fiag-futters at half
staff above his tomb. In many
places on Memorial day the
graves of Confederate soldiers
are Strewn with flowers by north
ern men and women who have
forgotten the hatreds Of war and
the rancOrS of reconstruction.
There can be no true American
who does not welcome these
signs of peace and friendship.
Orators may pirate in national
gatherings and tell in spread

and goodness of the new unifca-
ton, but all their eloquence fails
to impress the southern heart
with the sincerity Of some north
ern community when it places
above the grave of a Confederate
soldier its simple tribute-a
bunch of blossoms of the spring.
Here is the act without hope of
reward, the act that has no mo-
tive hidden in its dOing-an act
of friendship, an act of frater-
nifty and the action of hearts
that are large enough to realize
that the dead Confederate SOL
diers were Americans and their
bravery was but the reflex of the
nation.-Augusta (Ga.) Herald.

Memorial DAVIS Meaning.

"Was Memorial day set aside for
sports, baseball games, work horse
parades and other spectacles or was
it set aside in commemoration Of the
boys in blue who fought and died for
their country in 1868?
''Let us as patriotic citizens honor
the veterans who are still with us and
cherish the names of those who have
crossed the great divide" says letter
to q Chicago neWspaper.

There were SO many "Flunks" at
the end of the first semester at the
Boulder University that the Univers-
ity paper was led to remark that it
was due to too many sideshows,
meaning too much time was given to
athletics. entertainments, and fra
ternity matters, and not enough time
put in on the business of getting an
education. Next to these ''side-
shows comes the little white devil,
the cigarette, which is the pal to
many q boys failure. A school boy Of
whatever class or age, reeking with
nicotine, yellow fingers, and yellow

The book is dedicated to Tom Teel
who for years innumerable has been in

would be a credit to any school. The
joke department is one of the big feat
ures of the publication and the success
of this is due to Elizabeth Samuels and
Gail Lewis, joke editors. The art de-
partment under the supervision of Jean
Walker is one of the things in the book
to be noticed. A big feature is the great
number of pictures and ap-shoss of
the different phases of school life.

been published in the valley, if not the
best that has been put out in Arizona
