 Mir Stevens says that if there is tc he a memorial erected to the ex-serv E ice men it should be a memorial anf nothing else, and he is in favor O erecting either a marble or bronz monument, which will be the mos sdurab ble.

 Property Still Selling. a
 This town has not as yet recovered from it's dilemma of real estate sales and nearly every day shows the trans fer of some valuable piece of prop erty. The office of the, town clerk is d busy place as all the deeds showing the transfer of the various properties must be filed in that office. The local real estate agents complain that they cant buy enough houses to meet the demand of their customers. One no tiCeable feature of the sales is that the people selling their own property are not moving from town but are rather buying a better place in some other part of the town. The H. Eldi- gen property on Broad streot has been sold through the agency of l. J. Birn- baum to Mrs. James MacIldoWie.
 Tcnements in the town are now un- known and have been for quite some time. Heads of families are finding that the best means of having d home is to buy one and that is one of the reasons for the large number of sales of property. Many fathers who haVc met themselves face to face with moving from a tenement have decid- ed on the spur of the moment to buy the place rather than move. or else they are forced to buN some other property in which their families may live.

 All of the school children have been invited to take part in the parade. Sons of Vetedans and world war veter- ans will act as escorts. The Sons of Veterans have done noble work to make Memorial day a success here, and the public is urged to attend this affair and show their appreciation. MT. Porter announced this morning that the march to the cemetery is no longer a dirge, but a poem of praise to all lovers of Old Glory. The parade will form at the Worthington school grounds promptly at o'clock. School children are asked to bring flowers. Following are the officers of the pa rade: Col. Charles M. Jarvis mar shal; E.
