TOMORROW Will
: BE MEMORIAL DAY

All hail Memorial Day! There is
no North or South now. We are nei-
ther Federals nor Confederates - ~e
are Americans, first, last and all the
time. We no longer call each other
names or pile up foul epithets. De-
cades ago old grudges were relegated
into oblivion. We have buried past
differences, never to be resuscitated.
The men of the South were brave as
well as those of the North. Indeed, 1t
was bravery pitted against bravery,
fury against fury, wild beast grap-
pling with wild beast. Heroes under
Hooker. Burnside, Mcclellan. Sher-
man, Grant, pitted against heroes un-
der Longstreet, Hampton, Hill, Stone
wall Jackson, Lee. Heroes in the
command of heroes. Both leaders and
rank and file fought like tigers under
opposite convictions and prayed like
saints for divine guidance throughout
the whole calamitous and cruel strug-
gle. The boys in blue were right,
eternally right; and the boys in gray
were wrong, eternally wrong. But all
that is happily forgotten today in one
glorious, indivisible Americanism!
While there will be no public OBJ
servance of Memorial Day in Winnie
mucca tomorrow, graves of the de-
parted heroes will not be forgotten
but will be strewn with flowers by
surviving relatives and friends.

Live for mission that you know is worth while
You say it is not possible under the circum-
stances. Yes it is, matter how nearly penness
you are. You can get your education,-even the
best of college training. without capital or
bank account But you must be a man, brave
one, determined and ambitious, willing to pay the
price, willing to make the sacrifices and pledged
to do the work it takes.
You only have to choose another young man to
enter partnership in the business Of getting an
education. Let each of you insure for a small
amount and the one must work while the other
goes school. Many has been educated
in this way, going two years while the other
works, then vice versa When the task is com
plete, both are educated and neither owes the
ether any money. This is the plan for the poor
boy. It puts college within reach. The elemen-

Let us testify again with all emphasis Your

up for you wealth that may be available at his
DEATH but that wealth can never light in your soul
the fires of hope that will be yours when you are

intellect finds bounds even in a great Edsons
