no didn't have the heart to tell the
hoys of 1918 what he thought OF the
soldier meal until it was ended.
Too full for lengthy expression.
Snow remarked: "And us fellers used
n think we were kings when we had
bread pudding once week.
On all parts of the reservation the
visitor found eyeopeners galore. Giant
motor trucks hummed in and out OF
the welI-laid winding camp streets In
place of the old-time army mule. The
whole camp was as spick and span as
the hest cared for front lawn. On
every side there were evidences OF
"nep" and enthusiasm. And the pecu-
liar mart of the whole thing to Snow
appeared the fact that everybody
seemed busy performing some impor-
tant task.
After paying his respects to the
Stars and Stripes at retreat the vet
eran summarized his impressions or
the inspection tour with tear-dimmed
ewes: eff our boys had all the good
things you have today there would be
a lot more of us alive to tell the story.

PERILs OF gIRD SLAUGHTER
cieties Points Out Danger of
Relaxed Game Laws.

New York.-Grave perils threaten
through the indiscriminate slaughter
of birds and of wild life, according to
a statement issued by the directors of
the National Association of Audubon
Societies.
Mr.. 7. Gilbert Pearson. the secre-
tary of the association. in making pub
lie resolutions adopted by the board
of directors. said that unless every eff
fort is made to enforce all game pro.
lection laws, the resulting unrestrain-
ed activities of gunners and pot-hunt-
ers would soon destroy the natural
foes of insects and of rodent pests and
Of weeds.
1.-THE crops will save the nation"
says the official statement, "and the
birds will help to save the crops" In
this national crisis. America is looked
upon by our allies as the granary of
the world and the source of food
which must sustain the fighters in the
months of strul gle yet to come. There
fore every effort should be made to
increase the +ield Of our fields.
'-Ihis ASSOCIATION points to the grave
peril which attends the relaxing Of
the wise statutes enacted for con.
serving the wild life of this country,
which is more and more recognized
as an important economic factor"

Old Uncle Wade Johnson has gone to
his reward and his reward will be
great.
Bishop Cumberland once said: ct is
better to wear out than to rust out"
Old Uncle Wade wore out. He worked
right up to the last, then laid down
and died. 4.....
Mahinks We can Hear the Saviour
say: "Step up a little higher, Uncle
Wade; your reward is well earned.
And the angel of light hath placed a
crown of glory on his old kinky head,
while the heavenly chorus sang their
sweetest songs of welcome.
w. J. Johnson, familiarly known as
Uncle Wade, has laid down his shovel
and his hoe-there is no more work
for him; his has been well done and
he rests in peace with his Saviour.
Uncle Wade was a familiar figure
about Tarpon Springs where for many
years he has worked from one thing to
another, cleaning up the stores, the
banks, private homes and grounds and
gardens. Uncle Wade was never idle.
He must have been in his eighties. He
has always been faithful to his duties,
and as honest as he was black, and his
blood was not tainted with a strain of
white. He was an Old-time darkey, a
former slave, and he had the love and
confidence of all who knew him. His
wife has been blind for long time
and old Uncle Wade has kept house,
cooked for and taken care of her be-
sides providing the support. Uncle
Wade has lightened the burdens of
many-aiways cheerful and happy,
through his old joints seemed to
creak.
Those who knew Uncle Wade viii
never forget him. As the bosom Of
the earth blooms again and again
having buried out of sight the dead
leaves of autumn, memories of this
good old darkey will come to many
and they will long for the sight of hi:
happy face and the help of his willing
hands, but softly, softly will theiI
hearts, and mayhap their lips, ask the
God of Love to bestOw added blessing
on his faithful soul. .s. .. =
1t is beautiful and blessed world
that Uncle Wade has passed into, ant
though many hearts are saddened al
his passing, none would wish his re.
ward longer delayed, for there above
is everything he failed to have here.
Old Uncle Wade was a deacon in the
church and he had abiding faith in tbs
God on high. ! His funeral services will
be held Sunday afternoon. In anoth.
er column in today's Leader is a pro.
gram of the service. The white people
who loved this old darkey will be well
come visitors at his funeral.

thrift stamp pasted at an angle

come under the general head of

The Star Sbangled Banner
May Soon Be Designated the
american National Anthem

the people of this country, but it lie
considered by many unsuitable Tor
official recognition because its mel
ody is identical with that OF Eng
lands God Save the King" yam
kee Doodle" although sung through
all the nations wars, is thought too
light, and in the south, at least, is
unfortunately believed to carry q
note Of sectionalisrn.
The majestic Battle Hymn of the
Republic, musicians claim, falls short
of the standard, while 1.-THE Red, White
and Blue Rally Round the Flag, -
and others also are said TO be un-
suitable. Dixie" although carrying
a powerful emotional appeal liz
acknowledged to be peculiarly the
song OF the south.
Music Is Criticized.
The music of the "star spangled
Banner" has been adversely crid-
cized because its wide range makes
its singing difficult for the average
crowd. Yet, its appeal has Increased
through a century TO the point where
it would be difficult to displace 1t
in the affection OF the American peo-
pie. The words, written under the
stress Of strong patriotic emotion,
express sentiments that are the bull
wark OF the nations pride.
Key just before he wrote 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" had been APP
pointed an emissary from the town
of Marlborough in Maryland to the
British commander to procure the
release OF a captured Marlborough
physician. His mission was sue
cessful, but Key was detained few
days until the enemy could launch
the attack on Baltimore. From the
deck of the British vessel, he watch
ed shot and shell rain on the ram
parts Of Fort McHenry through the
day and night, and in the poem he
expresses his elation when he saw
the flag still waving at dawn.
An effective musical vehicle for
the poem was found in the jovial old
British song, "Anacreon in Heaven"
the authorship OF which is in con-
troversy. DIR. Samuel Arnold popu-
larly is believed to have composed
"Anacreon," and the resolution now
before congress provides that the
music as written by him shall be

Postal Service Is
Hit by Enlistment

Ten per cent OF the force OF the

ter M. Jennings, Of the chief clerks
Office Of the railway mail service this
afternoon.
1--WE are having a service flag
made in honor OF the twelve men in
the SERVICE" said Mr.. Jennings.
The railway mail service now Is
in need Of men. We find it almost
impossible to get them and have been
wondering what results could be OBJ
tanned If women worked the mails on
our fast trains. j
Seven applicants took the last
examination held here last week. AT
other examinations there have been
from 20 to 25 candidates. The re-
quirements for position as mail
clerk on the road are similar to those
of the army, the age must be be-
tween 1S and IS and the person must
be in good physical condition"

Washington. May after nearly
century and a half of delay the
United States seems about to acquire
a, national athem.
THE Star Spangled Banner" would
be adopted as the officially recog-
nized hymn of the republic under a
resolution by Representative McFad-
den of Pennsylvania now pending
in the house Little, IL any, opposi-
ton is expected.
Army and navy regulations long
have designated the Star Spangled
Banner as the official anthem and
provide that officers and men shall
stand at attention while 1t is being
played or sung, but the country at
large has been left to its own tastes
in the matter of selecting an ap-
propriate hymn FOR patriotic occas-
ions. Thus "The Star Spangled Ban
ner'' has been widely accepted by the
American public as the representa-
tive hymn of the nation and patrio-
tic societies for many years have
been agitating for it's official adop-
ton.
Every land has national anthem
identified inseparably with It's life,
The sonorous strains OF the Mar
seillaise breathe the indemitable
spirit, the achievements and the
aspirations OF France. While going
down in vessels, England's sons have
sung "God Save The King" or rule
Britannia" and even the iron hand
Of Germany in Belgium has been
unable to silence entirely the melody
OF "Brabanconne." Italians sing
GaribaIdi.s hymn, while the Irish
and Scotch have veritable treasure
trove of stirring war songs.
Many Attempts.
Attempts to find a suitable ma
tional air for the United States have
not been few. Hundreds, perhaps
thousands, Of melodies have been
written in an effort to meet the de-
marld. Yet, the inspired lines writ
ten by Francis Scott Key, as while
q, prisoner on board a British frigate,
he watched the unsuccessful bomb
ardrnent OF Fort McHenry, near
Baltimore, in 1914, are widely re-
garded as nearer than any other to
meeting the appeal.
America" has a powerful hold on
