there is. Armenia, there is Serbia
and other countries where fam
inc and pestilencc have prevailed
and humanity demands that we
assist-even unto feeding thine
enemy if he hungers" says the
Good Book. If we doubled our
crops we would not meet the de-
mand, therefore, the saving of
food, principally wheat, the shar-
ling of corn with our allies and
the famished portion of the
world becomes a duty. We must,
therefore, save more than we
have ever saved. Meats fats,
breadstuffs, sugar, all must be
conserved and the stringent con-
servation rules heretofore pre-
'vailing must continue and be still
further strengthened if we would
do our bit towards humanity.
Therefore, let US save anything
and everything, be not wasteful,
do not over-indulge, and satisfy
ourselves with less essentials

Organize Chamber of Commerce
Now that the war is over and
business is beginning to show
renewed signs Of life, it seems
very timely to suggest that our
citizens get together and organ
lie a chamber of commerce to
give Lafayette proper standing
and proper representation In the
eternal scramble for the good
things that are passing by our
doors unnoticed almost as if by
force of habit. We cannot take
too much stock in the old adage
that Everything comes to him
who waits" for if that old say
were true Lafayette would have
everything in the world, for she
certainly has been waiting long
enough, idling and loafng, we
might say, on the path of prog
ress, watching the professions
pass by without recognition
from any of them. What La
fayette rs today she fully de-
serves for she has grown almost
automatically, without any or
ganized effort to help her. We
need a lot of things we could get
if we had any organization to
present our claims, urge our
merits and insist upon being rec
ognized. A chamber of COM
merce to a growing city is it's
commercial motor, and so far we
have been running without any !
motor or motive. One of the
greatest handicaps under which

THE LIVING MONUMENT
By George Barr McCuteheon
of The Vigilantes

In the little Connecticut town of
Norfolk there is triangular piece
of ground belonging to the people.
For years it stood useless almost
abandoned, and to a certain extent
unnoticed. Norfolk sent to France
early in 1918 a score and half of
her boys to fight with the American
armies. Other boys followed and
still more in due course were called
from the small but hardy class re-
presenting the fighting quota.
A few months after the first con-
tingent marched out of the town on
hts way to the training camp and
.thepce to the line of battle, Norfolk
tegan to receive it's share of tidings
from the front. Names of boys
known to every one in town were
found in the lists of those ''killed in
action" Boys whose faces were
bright and shining and whose voices
were strong and cherry were never
to return. They were lying in the
fields of France, covered with tho
earth of Tive

date.

folk instead of flesh and bloc

came tract of glory. No more will
lit be looked upon as waste, nc
more will the people of Norfolk cal
it worthless bit of ground. Fol
some one thought of way to make
it rich; some one thought of a way
to make it the most cherished spot
in Norfolk.
On Flag Day in the year that the
war made heroes of these lads from
Norfolk the people of that place ded-
icated the point of this triangle to
the memory Of those who were not
to come back from France At that
time four of Norfolk's boys We're ly-
! ing IL France under the clean little
| cross of wood, and on this day four
/ little crosses of wood similar to
those in France, with a name and a
date on each, were driven in the
ground at the point of the triangle.
and there they will stay until they
are perhaps replaced by more en-
during and impressive marks of tri-
butte. But the little crosses of wood
are not all that the people of Nor
folk placed in the village TRANCE in
memory Of the boys who will not
come back. Something that will live
and thrive and beautify the barren
triangle was placed there for each
boy, and it is named for him, For
each hero a tree was planted, and it
will aways be known as his tree, by
his name; and long after the great
grandchildren of those who now live
in Norfolk are dead and gone, these
trees will still be standing and they
will be known through al the sun
shine and storm of the ages to come
by the names they received at the
christening. They will grow to be
tall and mighty and they will spread
their branches, winter and summer,
over the cross that was won on the
battlefields of France-the simple
cross Of honor that every man wins
when he gives up his life for his
country.
The thought is beautiful one. d,
That little triangle in Norfolk will
have many trees and crosses before
the war is over; the boys who die !
lin France will live and grow to an
age far beyond the years of the oil
dest of men. The "John Perkins
Elm,' or the ''Henry Smith Oak"
as the case may be, will be living in
Norfolk two hundred years after the
day on which they were so lovingly |
named by forgotten generation.
And how simple, how easy this
way of commemoration the deeds
and the spirit of the boys who go
forth to the war to-day, never to
come again. A little cross of wood
for the present, a towering tree for
the future, and the name of hero |
preserved for an age to come.

What better example could be set
for the rest of the country than this
beautiful act Of the people of Nor
folk? Why not in every community, /
a plot of hallowed ground with its
trees bearing the names of the bows
who went out and did not come
back? A living monument, green
and spreading with the years, to
stand as guardian over the memory
of him who fell n battle; not the ar
tificial product of man, but the in

who first put life into the body of t

community that lost him.

Several Indictments of His Strict Discipline Are Re- lated by a Cor
 respondent.
EXECUTES A MINISTER
Ordered His C0sSacks to Strip Delegates Sent to Him With Offer
 of Money.

! KAREN, Manchuria, May 9.-The
 name of Gen. Semenoff, the Cossack
 leader who opposed the rule of the Bolsheviki government in Siberia was feared and respected throughout that country until his force recently was
 driven into Manehuria. He ruled with stern hand, according to the
 many stories that are circulating through Siberia. q
 Boistrous and disorderly Bolsheviki
 parties returning from the front to their homes in Siberia became sud denly quiet when their trains enter ed the sector of the trans-Siberian
 railway line controlled by General Semenoff
 According to these stories, Sem
 enoff's methods were not gentle.
 About a month ago, the Bolsheviki
 authorities in Irkusk sent a delega- tion to Semenoff offering him a big
 sum of money and a high position in
 their ranks if he would cease fight
 ing against them, and join their
 ranks They requested a written re- ply.
 General Semanoff is said to have | ordered the Cossacks to strip the
 delegates and give them twenty-five
 lashes with the knout. When this had been done he told the delegates to return to Irliusk and show his re- ply, at the same time threatening to serve all Bolsheviki who fell into his hands in the same manner On another occasion a train load
 of reservists going to their homes through Semanoffs section were all shouting what they would do to the
 officers when they got to their homes. When Semanoff and two of
 his men boarded the train the Cos sack general made himself known, whereupon the reseryists sprang to attention and saluted, and begged to serve under him. Semanoff. ordered them to stand at salute until he
 ordered them to do otherwise. When
 he left the train they gave him three
 ringing cheers
 About the middle of January, the Bolsheyiki government at Petrograd
 dispatched the acting Minister of
 Marine to Vla1iyostok to purchase
 certain supplies. This acting minis
 ter had been a sailor on one of the
 war vessels. According to stories which came from Siberia, he and his staff insulted passengers, fired re- volvers through the windows and de manded that telegrams should be sent ahead for all troop trains to be sidetracked so as to allow his train
 a clear road.
 The train was stopped at Douria station, the Minister and his staff were ordered to go on the platform where Semanoff questioned him and
 then ordered him before a drum-head
 court martial. The court pronounced him a traitor to his country, and Semanoff, in pronouncing the death sentence, stated that all traitors who fell into his hands would be treated the same way The execution took
 place on the station platform, one of
 Semanoffs officers shooting the Min
 ister through the heart.
