Paris, May 29.-Memorial Day has
become more han an American ma.
tional holiday. This year. for the first
time in history, it Is to be observed
by the French people, in honor Of the
Americans who have fallen in battle
or died on French soil.
Preparations for joint observance
of the day have been made by the
French and American military all.
thorities. No elaborate ceremonies
have been arranged, but the French
and Americans, both in Paris and at
the front, will unite in paying respect
to Americas dead heroes.
| 1t is the first Memorial Day in
history when American troops have
been under arms in Europe, and the
first time American soldiers have been
buried on European soil. This will
give the day increased significance
t. Americans abroad as well as at
home.
The ceremonies will include decor
alton of the graves of Pershing's boys
but will not differ to any great extent
from similar services which have
been performed by the French ever
since the first Yankee was buried in
France. e,a..
For the French have kept the
graves green in the little cemeteries
back of the lines, most of them within
sound Of the cannon. The haye shown
even more respect for the American
dead than for their own. Their rev.

bond of sympathy between the two
nations.
French officers, bearing emblems
fashioned of artificial flowers, and

customary decorations in American
cemeteries, promptly visit the, grave
of every American soldier.
American soldiers, too, have formed
the habit of visiting the resting places

MEMORIAL DAY
PROCLAMATION

With. reverence for the
dead and respect for the liv-
ing, I, A. w. Lucas, presi-
dent of the city commission
of Bismarck, do most earn
estly urge that every citizen
lay aside his business affairs
Thursday, May &c.. that he
may join with the fathers
and mothers and friends of
our sons now in the service,
and of those who have laid
down their lives in this war
and in former wars which
America has fought in the
name of humanity, in a prop
er and sincere observance Of
Memorial day.
The day is one fraught
with unusual significance for
US this year, and, in har-
mony with President Will
sons proclamation, it should
be made an occasion for
prayer and fasting; for sup
plication for Divine guild
ance, and for conservation
anew to the holy cause in
which we make war.

WHICH WAR MOTHER GAVE MOST!

A mother in California has sent seven sons
to fight for humanity and justice.
Another in Texas saw six of her brave boys
march away and some of them are "over there
today holding the line until the rest Of Americas
millions come 4
Other mothers have given fire and four and
three and two sons. They have given all they had
or all they could spare. ~.
And still other mothers have given their one
son for the same high and glorious purpose:
Who shall say that the mother OF one has
given less than the mother of four or seven?
It is difficult for even mother to weigh such
gift, and it is utterly impossible to mere man,
even though he be father of sons he sent away
with tear-dimmed eye and shaking voice.
Probably, and this is just man-made guess,
the only measure is: .
Has she given all?
The mother who gave her only son and the
mother who gave her seYen, each has, made the
S5l19eat sacrifice human being, can make, except
MS, asoAe the Supreme sacrifice Of those sons who

KEEP sMILING!

sTss Keeping up the corners is womans job
In war times it is especially her job to keep
up the corners Of her lips-in a smile! 49,.
The eyes are the windows Of the soul-the
lips are the door-pate Of the disposition.
LIN prners that turn upward speak the etern-
ALI pme" Of frequent smile and "a happy
q sar8%Eip corners that 4u1n downward whisper
= X9warf,ing, mo admittance Beware the dog"
Wise young men seeking wife are the men
who give the lips Of their lady loves good hard
look-before they kiss, or ask an answer to THE
question Of love.
The time to look at woman's lips is when
she doesn't know you are looking Any wonan's
lips will curve upward in smile when she is con-
scious of inspection. The tel-tae corners must be
watched when the mouth is in repose and the
owner thinks herself unobserved.
The years that bring the girl to womanhood
have set in the corners Of her lips the record Of
her smiles and gentleness-or of her frowns,
pouts, obstinacy and melancholy. He who runs
may read the signs H. p 4 y
And now, in war times, lips which always held
the sweet upward curve of smiles must guard it
carefully lest the heartache and the sad thoughts
that follow absent lovers sons, brothers and
friends, shall erase the beauty and courage our
thoughts have been recorded in downward curves
must start new record, and in the beauty OF
self-forgetfuness and the pride and glory of serv-
ice, must turn the corner" toward smiles.
There is one supreme law of beauty and charm
every woman should learn by the time she is Is,
and remember every day thereafter: All men
hate tears and love smiles; there is no beauty
in mouth which does not smile.
Mouth corners are like traffic ,policeman's
signal to men who have eyes and use them. -,
Lips that turn Upward signal go ahead"
Lips that turn downward signal "Stop!"
And lips that lie in straight line might say
take chance, you may be able to turn the
corners"
Wise men look to woman's mouth for more
than words and kisses.
They look for the reflected light Of the heart
"a smile.
1T is the color which love wears, and cheer
fulness and joy-these three. 1t is the light in
the window of the face by which the heart sig
mites to lover, husband, son, brother or friend,
that it is at home, and waiting!

Few people have any idea OF the
stupendous expense of producing
modern metropolitan newspaper un
der present conditions. In recent
conversation with Mr., C. p. j. Noon
ey. editor of the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal, the Courier-lndex man
was told that the New York Times
spends an average of $4,000 month
to get the stories being written at
the war front by Phillip Gibbs. one
of the most famous of the many
war correspondents. The cable tolls
on the daily reports sent in by Gibbs
are forty cents a word. The Times
Is able to finance these stories only
by reselling them to other papers.
During the recent German drive the
Commercial Appeal carried the Gibbs
stories for one month at a cost of
approximately $4,000 for the thirty
articles. This is only one of many
expensive features the modern news
paper carries to give to its readers
the highest class news stories OBJ

WILL SHOCK HITCHCOCK AGAIN
Arkansas GaZeftel

The country well remembers the
blaze of adverse criticism that flared
forth early this year in the United
States Senate. One OF the Senators
who injected himself into the de-
bate was Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
was shocked and surprised, or as he
phrased it. "thunderstruck" at the as
sertion of Secretary of War Baker
that the United States will have
more than half million men in
France early in 1915"
Senator Hitchcock was appalled, at
the thought of Secretary of war
Baker misleading the people of this
country and he was more or less
appalled, at the war secretary's lack
of knowledge OF conditions, as well
as the lack of cooperation between
the shipping board and other depart,
Dents of the government The SEN
atcr said, during the debate of Feb
ruary, 4, last:
l would not like to attempt to ex.
plain the motives which have led the
secretary OF war to make such a
statement think 1t is terrible
to mislead the people when facts are
ascertainable My own opinion is
that the secretary Of war has not
been In touch with the shipping board
that there has been nothing to co.
ordinate the shipping board with the
other functions OF the government
and there has not been knowledge in
high places of the actual facts. II Is
q miserable thing for us to live in a
fools paradise and think we can dc
the impossible. do not think the
secretary has deliberately misled the
people, hut simply doesn't know.
Today we have more than one
million soldiers in France. Now that
Senator Hitchcock has learned that
ne and not the secretary of war did
not know. viii the senator make a
speech In the Senate admitting that
he was grossly ignorant concerning
the things about which he spoke with
such cocksureness? VIII he tell the
people of this country that after al
we are not living in FOOLS paradise
but are living in a day of wonders
when cur government, despite unjust
criticism by men who should have
been stIaining every effort TO sup
port it, Is amazing the world by it:
accomplishments?

SAVE PLENTY OF SEED
OATS AND WHEAT.

Arkansas farmers in the past have
been too dependent upon seed oats and
seed wheat from sources outside the
State because many cut their entire
crop for hay and save no seed No
greater mistake could be made this
year because economic conditions de-
mand THAI oats and wheat growers
save seed SO that an abundant supply
will be available for fall, late winter
and spring seeding.
A greater acreage Of wheat, rye and
