Memorial day Monday. Everybody
planning to be at some vantage point
TO see the parade. Organizations
whipping their men into shape to
make a showing" To the average
person the parade is the most import
ant and interesting feature of the day.
But it is only an incident in the work
done each year to relocate. clean up,
mark and decorate each veteran 5
grave.
Anyone who will accompany the
squads sent to place the cOlors on
each veterans grave at the cemeter-
les Will probably receive real shock
on realizing the startling number so
decorated. And as the number in
creases, under existing conditions, the
number of comrades principally inter-
eSted in annually decorating them dl-
minishes.
Public attention is principally at
tracted to the assembly of veterans
and their march to the place APP
pointed for observance of Memorial
services for their comrades. Escort
ing bodies claim their due share of
attention, but the real attractions are
the Grand Army Of the Republic,
Spanish War Veterans. Army and
Navy union. National Guard and Sons
of Veterans These constitute the Of
fetal bodies OF the occasion, each in
its own way.
few short years ago the Ct. A. r..
posts showed lines blocks long in
close order, of strong and vigorous
men. Probably no other body of men
i'm the United States has been so rep
resentative of soidierly American citi-
zenship, and OF such numerical
strength. Now. when the bands must
retard their tempo to accommodate
the hating step of an ever shortening
line of aging men, il is impossible for
the boy and girl OF today to realize
the mighty civic power the Grand
Army has been.
The United Spanish War Veterans
stepped into line with their trim uni
forms and springy steps. and remind
ed us for a time that the military
spirit of our land was still eXtant.
But they never had one-tenth the
numerical strength of the Grand
Army, and even now as we look, we
can see them aging, and beginning to
thin out. And in these two organiza-
tons we see the evidence that a vet
eran organization based on a certain
period of service is per Sc. tempo
rary eXpedient.
To meet this condition, with others
not OF such public interest, foreseeing
that probably never again would such
a body OF men as the Grand Army be
organized, several regular army Off
GERS in the eighties met. among them
Gen. Miles, and later Gen. Wood, and
organized the Army and Navy union.
Their object was to solidify the mill
tary and naval veterans of the United
States into one body by joining to-
gether those Of all ranks. classes and
times Of service. To join a garrison
a man must have served at least one
year under the colors (if Of regular
or naval service) and hold an honor
able discharge therefrom. Volunteers
are exempt from the limitation as to
length Of service but must produce
the honorable discharge. Men still in
service, after one years service, are
eligible. In the ranks will be found
men from both Mexican invasions,
Civil wars and those whose fortune
never led them into any war at all.

FUEL FROM GARBAGE.

IL is half a century since Victor
Hugo, I'm Les Miserables." called at
tention to the enormous waste in
volved in city sewage. We have not
yet got around to conserving that
wasted wealth. But we are gradually
approaching it in the efforts of some
OF the most enlightened American
cities to utilize their garbage.
Cleveland set a good example few
years ago by building a municipal
plant and realizing more than the cost
of collection from the grease and fer
tilizer obtained from it's garbage. Most
cities still adhere to the old, wasteful
way of paying contractors to remove
the stuff. although in many cases the
shrewd contractors themselves make
handsome profit 10y extracting and
selling the valuable elements. City

They come from army. navy, marine
corps, signal, hospital, engineer and

1t has been said by some they rep

they represent everything. There is
no tradition or regulation of the
United States service they do not rep

tary brotherhood being maintained in

= Among its other activities, the gar
rison undertakes to assist the other
military veteran organizations in the
annual decoration of graves. To this
end complete record has been taken
of the burial places of these deceased
veterans. and plats prepared of the
various cemeteries, with the graves
located thereon. A card index for
reference gives the military record of
each man so far as obtainable. 1t is
thought that while this record is not
really necessary now, it will be at no
distant date, and when needed would
be difficult to obtain. Even now great
difficulties are found in completing
records.
