The morning of Memorial Day was
dreary to behold and was dishearten-
ing to. the veterans who annually as
semble to pay tribute to the memory
of departed comrades on the day
which has been set apart for this
loving task. However, at noon there
came a change and when the sun
broke from behind the heavy clouds
it was quickly decided to carry out
the pre-arranged program. During
the morning delegations from the
Elias Howe, Jr., Post, D. A. r., visit
ed the cemeteries and placed flowers
on the, graves Of the dead soldiers
which had been previously designated
with small flags. The parade was
viewed by a large throng of spectators
who gathered in large numbers along
the line of march. The procession
was headed by Supt. Birmingham and
commanded by Capt. Hunt and Lieut..
Anderson, followed py Grand Marshal
Warren w. Porter and staff. The
first division was composed Of the
local military companies and as usual
they presented a fine appearance. In
the second division were the mem
bers of the Elias Howe Post, both on
foot and in carriages. The third
division was made up of various So
cieties and the last section included
the public officials in carriages. Upon
arrival at the park the program was
carried out as arranged.

Infantile Paralysis

There are q dozen or two cases OF
Infantile Paralysis in the counties OF
Warren, Page, Rockingham and Au-
gusta, and the Shenandoah Valley
seems to be very much stirred over
it. Rigid guarantees are bel 5haln-
tanned in Clarke, Shenandoah ffeder-
lex and other counties. and ~ will be
seen by notice in another column, the
Jefferson County and Charles Town
Boards of Health established a quar-
antine yesterday.
Five new cases of infantile paralysis
four in Rockingham county and one in
Harrisonburg, have caused further
Tightening of the quarantine. No child
under 16 in Rockingham county will be
allowed to leave its parents home. A
halt has been called on every public
gathering that can possibly be dispen-
sed with. Sparks circus. billed for
Harrsonburg the last of the month has
been ordered to past on, The State
will send an expert to Rockingham and
it is not unlikely that the Federal Gov
eminent will take some further steps,
The expert will start at Grottoes, in
which little village IL cases have ap
peared. In addition to posting armed
guards at certain points in the southern
suburbs to prevent the entrance of
persons from counties in which infan-
tile paralysis has become epidemic, the
health boards Of Winchester and Fred
erick county fixed 500 fine and six
months in Jail as the penalty for viola
ting the quarantine provisions.

The Road Question Again

MIR. ID. j. Howell has received the
following letter from our former coun-
lyman Mr.. H. G. Shirley. who is now
Chief Engineer to the Maryland Roads
Commissioner:
Baltimore. Nd, July 80, 1917.
d. J.. Howell, Esq.
Charles Town, w. Va,
Dear Sir:-I read with great deal
of interest your reply to the editorial
in the Advocate headed Roads for
Tourists" which criticised the section
of road we are now building between
Knoxville and Harpers Ferry. / be-
lieve that the Advocate is, in a man.
ner. correct when they say that this
road is being built morefor the benefit
of the people outside the state than for
the benefit of those in the state, but
we have found it mighty good invest
ment to build roads for people outside
of the state. and also for those in the
state, 1t has always been our policy
to build as many good roads as possible,
leading up to the boundary line of Mary
land and through Maryland. as an in
ducement to outsiders to yisit our state.
We found that last summer quite a
large amount of money was spent in
our state by tourists from other states
and the hotel people. as well as the
commercial world, prospered thereby
| agree with you that if we could get a
little of the same spirit over in Jeffer-
son county, | believe, with the natural
advantages. and with the abundant
supply of good road material close at
hand, that old jefferson would take her
place with any of the other counties,
instead of being the last on the map
The census shows that she is falling
backward.
III think that if the Advocate would
take the trouble to look over the CEN
sus report it would find that the popu-
lation is dwindling, whereas the adjoin-
ing counties are enjoying a steady IN
crease, and that it would come 70 the
conclusion that perhaps. after all. good
roads had something to do with it, fer
am sure that the soil, climatic and
social conditions of Jefferson compare
favorably with any county in Mary
land. However. the census report, in
my judgment, tells the story, and
shows that Jefferson county is not, by
far, keeping pace with many of ours,
Very truly yours,
H, G. SHIRLEY,
Chief Engineer.

The days of our childhood we call to

Our home. the old pump that quenches

The Jefferson Institute" we now re-

And the Academy ground where the

On "Sadler's Lot" were the flying

The children were happy and gaily

The croquet ground and the patent

In those days past were just the thing,
And Sadler's horses belonged to the
boys
Almost the same az their Christmas
toys,
In winter time then the pond froze

We'd go for skate and always take

The town of our birth, that gave us
such mirth,
We thought the town great until qsite
of late.
The city folks come to our little tow
now,
Which is just as progressive as city
towns are,
We have pleasant talks on our concrete
walks,
No cobble stones nor rough, ugly
walks.
Those tall trees are trimmed, we have
lovely lawns.
Automobiles spin all night and all
morn,
We are just as progressive as possible
to be,
And if you don't believe it come to
Charles Town and see.
It's wide-awake town and most up
tsdate,
And still daily improvements they con-
stantly make,
The grass plat adds beauty to the con
crete curb,
To find any fault would be very alb
surd.
So. city folks. come to Charles Town

Come away from the heat. the crowd

Which far surpasses Zion City foun-
