The Patriotic Demonstration

Richmond proved its loyalty and its devotion
to the flag and the nation yesterday. Little need
be said of the outpouring of the residents of
Wayne county. It was the largest and most en-
thusiastic crowd in the history of the county.
Every person who was in the parade did himself
proud and every person who watched the march
ers gloried in the sentiments of the day
It quickens our love for the country and our
devotion to the flag to take part in parade and
demonstration that is dedicated to purpose as
noble as was the one yesterday. No mawkish
sentiment or vainglorious sentiment urged the
marchers to leave their work. It was love for
their country and its flag.
The part of the Red Cross Society in the pa
rade received deserved recognition right and left.
Perhaps it was the first time in the history of
Wayn county that band of women, united in
common society for common good, marched side
by side down the streets in public demonstra-
ton. The community paid high and well de-
served tribute to the women who have leagued to-
gether to alleviate suffering and prepare hos
pital supplies.
The speeches at the Coliseum and their re-
ception by the audience were another attestation
of loyalty. Wayne county stands where it has
always Stood squarely for the Union, unre-
servedly for the Flag

''The Forgotten Wedding'
o s s By OLIVE WADSLEY s: sss: zs s sss ::

He had all the details, he could read
the abbreviated sentences, he could
understand what had happened to his
master, and 1t was all no good!
The man who could have explained
the mystery. the only being on earth,
would never speak again!
CHAPTER Xxx
A Marriage and an Arrest.
Cecil and Robert were to be mar
ried on the Saturday after the coro-
ration day.
Cecils easy Paganism had scoffed
at the idea Of d church ceremony,
therefore Robert had merely given the
three weeks necessary notice at the
nearest registry Office.
He was obliged to work little lat
Friday, and it was nearly eight o'clock
when he reached his rooms.
He let himself in quietly. and halt
expectantly knocked at the sitting
room door. There was no answer.
He opened the door and went in.
The little table was covered with a
white cloth. and on it there lay a
rather heterogeneous assortment OF
food. Propred up against the dish OF
tomatoes was an envelope addressed
to him In Cecil's rather illegible hand
writing. He tore 1t open.
The enclosed note was typical In its
free expression of the writer's mood:
Dear Prospective Bridegroom -
Miss Ford wants me to go up to a
rehearsal this evening. So I am 60
ing, and l really don't know when I
shall be back I have laid in last
bachelor feast for you, and especially
commend the sardines to your notice.
Au 'revoir then. c."
Robert read 1t through twice. It
occurred to him as he put 1t down, and
rather tentatively attacked the com
mended sardines," that 1t was not ex-
actly love-letter written by girl to
the man she adored.
After all, why were they marrying
one another?
He was marrying Cecil because she
had been good to him-because she
was, at the moment, the one woman
he knew, and Cecil?
Since that one spring afternoon and
evening she had rarely spoken of love
or showed any signs of tenderness.
She seemed wholly taken up with her
acting.
It occurred then to Robert that II
she were the only woman he knew, he
was equally the only man on whom
she could depend. So they were mar
ryng one another because in reality
there was nothing else either of them
could do. Cecil could not live alone,
and he could not go on sharing the sit
ting groom with her on friendly ba-
els. There was the money question to
be settled about that without taking
the ethical point of view into consid-
Grafton at all.
And Cecil had been good to him.
He did not realize how great that be-
lief. engendered by his loneliness and
had become
Through his loss Of memory his
mind had become apt, having accepted
enc special thought, to dwell upon it
to the exclusion of all else. This, too.
he could not, Of course, realize.

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

All judgment comes from CON-
parison and mans Joy carries
him as high as his sorrow sinks
him low-without the one man
would never know the other.
When a man is first of all
true to himself he is more sure
to be loyal to his employer;
man learns to be false to others
only when he forgets himself.
The weekday sympathy goes
farther toward making the
world better than does the Sun
day song helping another is
holy service.

Back to the Pioneer Corn Meal

When Indiana was bowling wilderness and
pioneers were few and far between, corn meal
was staple dish Today Indiana is trying to
find cheap substitutes for expensive dishes. The
Department of Agriculture suggests corn meal
and tells farmers and dealers in city flats how to
prepare the food.
The dissertation on corn meal is reprinted
with the hope that it may help some of our read
ers to solve knotty problem of home economies.
