THE FULL CORN
IN THE EAR

Anonymous

Next to Easter is Memorial day as
typlfy1ng a new resurrection of human
liberty won in the tears and blood OF
a great self sacrifice.
Today the sun rose cloudIess as the
memories of the men we remember 1t
shone upo the continent He had hid
OF old time in the west,'' %populous and
prosperous from It's enter to, it's sea
rims, on multiplied cities and mighty
stretches of arms blossoming in the
spring with promise of mighty crops,
on a nation absolute. united, magni-
fcent, q real union of states and peo-
pie. Passing on as the shadows fell
upon Plymouth rock 1t pea in fervid
noon on the beaches of Hawaii and
touched the forest of the Philippines
with the glory of sunrise. And in all
its splendid course it shone on the
flag; the flag which bloomed beneath
1t in every street and fluttered from
every house it's stripes and stars, the
American flag which h men whose
sacrifice we commemorate today by
their right and by their power n in
their patriotism maintained ascendant
as the symbol of liberty and of equal
opportunity.
They are old and gray and feeble,
these old, old men who emain to wear
On the blue of the immortal Cos the
bronZe button which distinguishes the
remnant of that grand army of which
the q. A. r. Is but a memory. They
have lived and they die. But this is
no cause for grief. no reason for
mourning. The generation of men rise
and fall like the waves of the sea, they
beat against the cliffs of endeavor in
successive tides ana go back again to
the sea which gave them, to gather
new impulse and come again in their
time. The tides swelled at the pass
where the Spartans faced barbarism
in strength of manhood and weak
ness of numbers; it was high tide at
Runnymede and eliminated at Gettys-
burg. 1t will rise again and again and
each flood shall gather strength and
height from those which have risen
and ebbed. For so the greatness and
the goodness of peoples and nations
grow, like coral continents, on the
bones of those who achieved yesterday
and who died today.
God gives us more men like these to
know and to remember, to lean upon
in their youth, to cherish in their old
g. and emulate when eternity has
claimed them. Grant unto this coun-
Try more men like these and like those
later heroes, men who put women
first" and the rights of man first and
who are willing to die for an idea.

North, East, South and West.
BY Charles Dana Gibson.

The north and the east, the south and
the west,
Each year in us %reunite,
AS to welcoming shout our march
filings out
With a step that is free and light;
And the griefs we feel we choose to
With a step that is free and light.
We've been marching for years on
this day in the spring,
Three of us Blue, and one Gray;
Then our youths return and our woes
we Spurn,
AS we strut on Memorial lay;
And saily we frisk and our swagger
AS WE strut on Memorial day.
For the .quick-step we call as we
shoulder arms
No dreary death march shall they
play;
Though you say we're old and our
days are told,
We're fresh as the four winds today;
Though our heads grow white in the
fading light,
We're fresh as the four winds today.
".
The north and the east, the south and
the west,
No longer ripped wide in dispute,
Can honor US best when they lay us to
rest
BY returning u Smiling salute"
so the sons of the brave may bestow
what we crave
BY returning our smiling salute"
We smile at your sympathy, pity and
care:
we Scoff at your proffers of aid.
We're free and We're strong, with our
strides quick and long,
We're shown you how to parade.
We're old, are We? Gosh, To show
hat it's bosh,
We're shown you how to parade.
VI.
Who whispered that old age would
break up our ranks,
That Time would cut some of us
down?
Each Memorial day all the morbid onas
say
That we're marching our last
through the town.
Well brand it a lie when the fearful
ones sigh
That We're marching our last
through the town.
VII.
Though u comrades brave whom
we praise today
You laud with a wreath and tear.
It's to Us they belong, and we know
that they long
For u old time smiles and a cheer
From some distant Gate we know thew
wait,
Flo our old time smiles and a. cheer,

Seed Peas One of Best Crops.

Bozeman.-That seed peas on suit
able land properly farmed make one
of the best crops Montana can pro-
duce, and that the yields are larger
i'm the Gallatin valley than in the older
pea growing districts of the east, is
demonstrated by the returns from the
threshing machine, on the Miles &
Nash ranch, few miles west of Boze-
man. From "a acres the farmers will
receive between $1,000 and $4,000 for
the peas. The Alaska peas, of which
Miles & Nash had go acres, yielded
3,100 bushels, or over so bushels to
the acre. The contract price for these
peas is $150 per bushel making the per
acre yield of this field a little more
than SIS. The Motifs Excelsior peas, of
which "a acres were planted, bring
$3.50 per bushel, and the yield, which
was computed before the close of the
threshing to be between 40 and so BUSH
els per acre, would thus have a cash
value of from S96 to $120 per acre.

TRANSFER WATER SYSTEM
tion Organized to Take Over Car
ey Act Project.

Billings.-With the organization OF
the Billings Bench Water Users as
sociation final steps were taken in
the transfer of the irrigating system
of the Billings Land and Irrigation
company, Carey act project, to the
settlers to which it supplies water.
At meeting of the stockholders of
the association officers were elected
and negotiations for the transfer of
the system completed.
The deal is by far the largest and
most important made in Eastern Mon
tana this year. The association will
be capitalized at 100000, divided into
10000 shares of 500 each. The arti-
cles have already been signed by SO
land owners, and it is expected that
every farmer on the project will be.
come financially interested.
The plans contemplate the expendi-
.ture of about $4,000 in enlarging the
upper water for irrigating all of the
land on the bench, about 10000 acres
being still vacant. The system is main
tanned by the payment of 81 per acre
for irrigable land in the project,
amounting to between $4,000 and $17,-
900 annually. Under association man.
agement all land for which water is
available, whether owned by the origi-
nal company or by individuals, will
be assessed for upkeep and enlarge
ments.

observed that the allotments do not
equal the appropriations, but the diff
ference is retained, it is said, to meet
emergencies, to pay administration
charges and is available if needed. The
amounts allotted, it is thought, are all
that will be required for actual con-
struction work, according to the judg-
ment of the engineers in charge. The

preparations by congress, are given be-
