At Bloomington, Illinois, May 10,
1861, two companies of soldiers were
leaving for the front. During the
Civil War days, Union soldiers were
accorded farewells, much after the
manner of the present day. Mrs.
Leoline Lewis, then Miss Cradle
baugh was called upon to present a
flag Company B, at which time she
delivered the following address. Be-
lieving that her words bear great
significance at this time because of
the gigantic struggle in which this
nation is engaged, they are republish-
ed
Men Of Mclean county, now sold
iers of Illinois and of the United
States: Ladies have often presented
colors to volunteer companies that
they might show their interest in the
martial labors and pleasures of their
military friends; but there is a great
contrast between these scenes as act
ually enacted and that in which we
bear part today. Generally the flag
seems rather a part of snowy page
ant; "a gay toy to be borne in the holi-
day mastering of mimic soldiery on
peaceful fields in the midst Of quiet
homes, while the dark terrors that
are shadowed forth In the dread word,
war, far from the thought of all.
Neither we nor you are thinking of
anything less than the reality of con-
fict, the earnest struggle and agony
of deadly battle. The colors we give
you today are not to wear themselves
out Tapping in the happy breezes Of
Illinois; but they go forth with you
to return torn by bullets and stained
by battle.
We feel that we must shrink from
the very words we use while you must
not shrink from the dire realities they
denote. God 60 with you and bless

WATER SAVES
GRAIN CROPS

In the present shortage OF
water In Carson Valley for ir-
rigation purposes. the storage
reservoirs owned by the East
Fork farmers. are proving their
great worth as neve before.
A new reservoir built last
fall at comparatively small cost,
furnished a flow of 800 inches OF
water for ten days. and more
that paid for itself In one sea-
son. The storage water from
other reservoirs owned by the
company is being released and
Is saving grain crops, which
would have suffered greatly

We commit to your stronger arms the
flag wich protects us, and ask you to
remember amid the din of arms that
you are fighting for our cause and for
our safety.

hours of marching and waiting, let 1t

love and our sympathy with you all
