NATURES OWN
DECORATION DAY.

1t is not easy to write about the
dreadful war between the north and
the south. We press our breasts
against a thorn when we do. 1t is
often said that it is still too early to
write the true story of our civil war.
1t will soon be too late. We should
not shrink from recording what we
know to be true. Thus only will a full
history of American courage and fdel-
ity be preserved, for all were Ameri-
cans. The last time l visited Peters
burg l drove out to her battlefelds.
Nature had hidden the scars with
beauty. The seeds. of the field daisy
had been scattered wherever the Fed
eral forces had been encamped, and
they had whitened the fields and COW
cred the graves by the wayside. Ma
ture had not forgotten these lonely,
unmarked graves.-Mrs. Roger A.

TO THE DEAD

One of the most touching ceremon-
les of Memorial day, perhaps the one
which is felt most keenly by the sur
viving veterans, is the tributes col
lected in memory of the unknown
dead. There were men who went into
battle with their comrades, who
fought the good fight and in the thick
of the conflict disappeared forever.
Some who were captured worked
their way back to liberty. Others are
lying in unmarked graves. And in
barring his head to the unknown dead
scarcely a soldier is forgetful of some
such incident.
Men who have tasted battle, who
have offered their lives to their coun-
try, are better able to reckon the
worth of patriotism than those who
have endured no greater sacrifice
than paying taxes. 1t is these men
who feel most pain when they scent
a growing spirit of indifference in the
traditions of the nation. Such an oc-
casion as Memorial day deserves rev.
erential attention, and by their exam
piles they try to instill reverence and
patriotic principles in their children.

chairman said should not be allowed.
Several stated that the financing of
assessment improvements and refund
ing improvement certificates was an
avenue by which many municipalities
had gotten into unnecessary debt diff
ficulties. The question of bond issues,
uniform system of accountings, and
serial bonds was also discussed.
In summing up Chairman Pierson
said that the work was just begun
and that the taxpayers all over the
state were demanding that more at
tention be given to this most impor-
and part of their welfare. He invited
everyone present to send the Secre-
tary of the Commission suggestions
at any time, as this was the only
way in which the best results could
be obtained.

sion was set for Paterson, On June

ASSISTANT IN HOME
ECONOMICS APPOINTED

The growth of the extension work
in home economics at the New Jersey
Experiment Station as carried on by
Miss M. Anna Hauser, the extension
specialist in that line of work, has
been such as to make necessary the
appointment of an assistant in this
work. To meet this need, Miss Fan
ME F. Cooper has been appointed as
assistant in home economics and will
begin work June l.
Miss Cooper was reared in a rural
community and was graduated from
the high school at Wiconisco, Penn
sylvania, in 1910. In 1911 she enter
ed the Pennsylvania State College and
has completed the four-year course IN
home economics at that institution.
Miss Cooper, as assistant to Miss
Hauser, will have charge of the work
with the girls in garden and canning
clubs over the state. She has already
had a large experience in working
with children and during her college
course has done much practice teach
ing and work in playground lines.
Her work in this connection has incllu-
ded the teaching of cooking to gram
mai school students, teaching in one
of the rural schools in Pennsylvania,
supervision of a girls gardening club
and work with girls camping clubs.
Miss Cooper's residence during early
life in a rural district and the spe-
cial education and practice which she
has received in connection with her
high school and college courses have
given her a sympathy and under
standing of the problems arising. in
connection with work amongst chill
dren in country sections which should
insure her success in the canning club

THE FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY

The following question is asked fire.
quently:
What is the correct way to put out
a flag on Memorial day, May 80?
Here is the answer, taken from the
United States army regulations: "On
Memorial day at all army posts and
stations the national flag will be dis
played at half staff from sunrise until
midday, and before noon the band will
play a dirge or some appropriate air.
At the conclusion of this memorial
tribute, at noon, the flag will be hoist
ed to the top of the staff and will re-
main there until sunset"
On Memorial day or other occasion
when the flag is displayed at half staff
on raising the flag it should go to the
peak and then be dropped M width
of the flag. In striking the flag it
should be always returned to the peak
before retiring. =,

OH, YES, WE'VE SEEN HIM.

Have you ever met the man who
makes a living in a town, conducts a
business and depends on the towns
growth for a growth in his own fl
nances, who sits back and lets the
other fellow do all the work of boost
ing, advocating town improvements
and working for the towns good and
then calls any organization formed
by a few of the latter class a "clique?"
Think! He is the man who never
lifts a finger for the towns good,
never gives it a minute of his pre-
cious time, and never spends a dollar
for its benefit unless he sees two
coming back for the one spent.

UNDER FIRE AT APOLLO
William Courtenay Heads Newest
Megrue War Play With a Strong
Cast.

The first spring production to be
made by Selwyn and Company, chos-
en- with due regard to the fact that
it had to follow and maintain the
standard of the Selwyn four big hits
Twin Beds" "Under Cover" "The
Show Shop" and "The Lie"-is Roi
Cooper Megrue's new play, "Under
Fire" a war play in which the war is
in the main subsidiary to the love
story at the Apollo, this Friday and
Saturday with Saturday matinee.
Mr.. Megrue is described in a the
atrical editorial of the New York
Times as having had more perform
ances to his credit this year than any
other author of any description what
soever has ever had before in a single
season, in that he is author of "Under
Cover" now in its tenth month, and
co-author of at Pays to Advertise"
with a run only slightly shorter.
"Under Fire" is played by an enor-
nous cast of the splendid calibre for
which Selwyn and Company are ia
nous. The leading player is William
Courtenay. Among the others in the
company are Violet Heming, Phoebe
Foster, Felix Krembs, Arthur Shaw,
Edward Mawson and Florence VOL
lerSon.
The play begins in London before
the commencement of war, when the
rumors of it are of the vaguest. It's,
next act is in Belgium where it catch
es the war at its very beginning.
From Belgium the scene changes to
the trenches, in open country, and to
Paris. The production is not only ex-
tremely beautiful but it is so histori-
cally and pictorially true that Irwin
Cobb, just back from Belgium and
lecturing on the war, walked up to the
scene model in the Selwyn offices, be-
fore anybody had had time to tell
him anything whatsoever of the play,
and said: "Ah Belgique!"
Mr.. Megrue has written "Under
Fire" on the theory that American
people are more interested in the per-
sonal, dramatic side of war and the
fates of individuals therein than they
are in the mass movements of great
armies. He says he learned this fact
from watching people read the news
papers seeing them skip all the "war
news proper" and pore over the re-
print of a postcard from the trench
on which some soldier had been al
lowed to make a few n~on-commital
crosses.

MEMORIAL DAY A
SACRED CHARGE

On May 5, 1868, General John A.
Logan, then commander in chief of
the G. A. R. set apart May 80 as a
day "for decorating the graves of the
comrades who died in defense of their
country" Even at that very early
day General Logan seems to have had
a presentiment of the change time
might work: "If other eyes grow dull
and other hands slack and other hands
cold in the solemn trust, ours shall
keep it we'll as long as the light and
warmth of life remain to us. Let US
renew our pledges to aid and assist
those whom they have left among us,
a sacred charge upon the nations
gratitude-the widow and orphan"

To the Democratic Voters of Prince
Georges County:
hereby desire to announce my can
didacy for the office of Sheriff of
Prince Georges County, Maryland.
Two years ago my claims were sub
mitted to the voters of the County in
direct primary contest; and the
splendid support then given was an
evidence of confidence in me, and |
believe, in my ability to faithfully dis
charge its exacting duties. l grace
fully submitted to the wisdom of the
majority and supported the nominee.

for an adverse sentiment to my candi-
dacy; but on the contrary | have the
assurance from many persons who then
opposed me, that | will now receive
their very earnest and cordial support.
1t has been my ambition for some
time past to be the Sheriff of Prince

ton.

out of town. Order and the
white man have reigned in North
Caroline ever since.
"This incident, the last of the
kind which was of any great i'm
portance, is referred to here to
show how persistent is the legacy
of crime and violence left by the
the misguided statesmen" of
reconstruction. The white man
will rule his land. The only
question left by the Supreme
Courts decision is how he will
rule it. Probably in most States
he will do as he has done al
ready in a number-exclude
illiterates without regard to color
from the polls. There are al
ternatives. One is to repeal the
Fifteenth Amendment, a thing
almost impossible. The other is
to wait until things become as
intolerable as they did in North
Carolina. The remedy then in
vokes itself, with consequences
dreadful to contemplate. The
evil that theorists may do lives
after them; their best intentions
may become a curse to the
country.
