MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day, day set aside for the purpose of honoring the nations soldier dead. has become more signi- fcant to the younger people since the great world war. It has brought Home to them as nothing else could, what it means and has meant in years past to the few who still remain that raw these aged veterans march away as our young men did during the past two years. With this realiza- SoH, Memorial Day this year will be observed throughout the nation with more ceremony and greater feeling than ever before.
 We have honored our veterans of the Civil War, both living and dead, because of the valiant part which they as individuals played in the great units of the Federal army. Be- cause they fought and died to make men of this nation free and equal and established once and for all time the fact that this republic cannot and will not live divided.
 Now come our young men, just back from the battleields of Europe, to whom Memorial Day has a new meaning. They will look upon the veterans of past wars with greater pride and respect, knowing something of the dangers and hardships which they experienced. As the years roll on these young men will take the place of our aged veterans on this day and future generations will honor them in like manner.
 Each year the ranks of the veter- ans of the Civil war are becoming thinner and it will be but a few years hence when the last of them will be mustered out" Let us then one and all, on this day above all others show in some manner that we appreciate what they have done in years past. A smile, word of cheer or helping hand will add to their happiness and remind us that had their efforts been unsuccessful, we would not today be the greatest nation of the world.

 If we cannot have another real war till after the Versailles congress finishes it's work, it looks as if we are in for an almost interminable era of peace.-Boston Transcript.
 In last analysis the real advantage in the repeal of war time prihibition as regards light wines and beers is the possibility of still one more New Years resolution.-New York Sun.

 Consolidation continues, now, ac- celerated, but there is no report that one of the first to enlist in wars ranks, Hi Costa Livin, has yet been discharged from the service.-New York Sun.
 Subtle bolsheyist propaganda is seen in barbers' demands for shorter hours and more pay, foreshadowing rise in prices and lessening of slaves and haircuts.-New York Herald.
 Of course taxes are necessary, but there's hot season coming, when the general public will be unable to understand why ice-cream soda is classed as luxury rather than as an absolute necessity.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 That deeds of peace are no less renowned, heroic and daring than those of war the history of the recent past will attest. After perceiving for four years the golden grain of valor and reckless courage dotting the red fabric of war the world now witnes- ses purely peaceful adveiture in mans conquest of the natural forces which requires heroism as high as any shown in battle.-New York Sun kx*
 The average poor man did not real ize how really luxurious his habits are until he experienced the practical working of the new federal tax law. Norfolk Virginia-Pilot.
 It is imperative that industry be allowed a fair return on it's invest ment, and it is no less urgent that the consumer have a reasonable mar gin of income over expenditure. The economic statue of the country, therefore, must receive the earnest, honest attention of congress.-Balti- more American.

We notice that the sign prohibit ing vehicles from parking within a given distance from the railroad crossing, disappeared as mysteriously ss did one Billy Cop" some years ago. The selectmen have replaced this sign with another, but it seems that in order to make this crossing as safe as possible, no parking should be allowed on either side of the street within not less than fifty feet of this crossing.

CORNWALL BRIDGE

While in Cornwall Bridge the other day, the editor visited the old ceme- tery at Puffingham. It is sadly neglected yard, and in the cemetery there were only two or three plots that were cared for. It would seem as if the citizens and descendants of the many worthy people who lie buried there would get together and form an association for it's general care. A community which allow it's Gods acre to fall into a shabby and unkept condition is lacking in public spirit and proper regard for the dead. Everything about the grounds shows a lack of care and interest. We took down the names of some of the oldest burials in the yard, as follows:
 Nehemiah Lewis, 1912.
 Huldah H. Prwt, June 23, 1914.
 Mrs. Mary Calhoun, 1901.

cost of milk production on their own farms, the County Farm Bureau of Windham County has had worked out usmmary sheet of milk produc- tion costs. Henry Dorrance of Plain field, c. B. Pomeroy of Willimantic, County Agent B. W. Ellis of Put nam and W. A. Rhea, extension dairyman. of the Connecticut Agri- cultural College at Storrs worked out the cost sheets for, the farm bureau.
 Sample copies of this sheet can be obtained from the various farm bu- reaus of the state.

The New England Milk Producers Association has recently adopted a somewhat similar cost sheet.

 Watch these two fellows and find out with whom they associate, and you will be surprised. One associates with clean, honorable, manly fel- lows, the other associates with fel- lows who have a bad reputation and character and who are mannish, but not manly.
 One has a good job. He is steady, reliable and honest; the other is al ways being discharged, he is unreli- able and sometimes dishonest. One is ambitious, and does his work thoroughly, while the other is only ambitious to cause trouble.
 Next look at their friends. One has true loyal, and reliable friends while the other has friends, only when he has money, and then they are gone.

 The only answer to this great problem is stay in school. This can- not be applied to the men, but it can be applied to their sons.
 To a farmers boy, a High School education is priceless, because he may obtain a knowledge of the scien- tific side of farming. He has a practical knowledge of modern busi- ness, and modern business methods.
 Understanding business methods as he does, he is able to apply what

Value of High School Education

Value of High School Education
 The value of High School edu- cation lies in the fact that it enables one to live advantageously. Without education man merely exists, but the more education a man has the more he can get out of life. The value of a High School education can not be measured in dollars and cents. Many a man is financially poorer because he has expended a fortune acquiring an education, but he is infinitely richer than an Hitter ate millionaire, because he can get many things out of life, that can not be bought with money.
 A man who has had High School education can enjoy art, literature and poetry, he can see beauty and get pleasure from things that are meaningless to the uneducated man. The uneducated man can buy great paintings and can travel and see the wonders of science and nature, but he can not appreciate and enjoy them. Why? Because he has not the High School education to realize the value of the wonderful things in this world. Taking poetry as an ex- ample to show what it means to the one who has not had a high school education. It is like a Chinese puzzle and one gets disgusted read ing it. He can not possibly compre- bend nor reasonably understand the intense interest which it contains or why others find poetry interesting, but. after he has entered high school he at once acquires interest and ad- miration.
 High School education is valuable as it develops ones mind to real thinking as the work which is given in school is so we'll planned that it requires ones own idea of the sub ject, and this naturally leads one to take an interest in the future so that he will be able to solve the problems which he may meet during his life. ...-..
 A High School education bears the same relation to higher education that light calisthenics bears to the training of a professional athlete for the severe work of the professional contest. Just so the High School work prepares the mind for higher education, it might be called mental calisthenics.
 I do not mean by this that one should not get High School educa- ton unless he means to go in for higher education. Just as food is necessary to keep the health and strength of the ordinary man so the High School education is valuable to the student who can not go farther. 1t is just so much preparation for the struggle of life and one should make every possible preparation for this struggle.
 A High School is not absolutely necessary as preparation for higher education, but the High School course makes the acquiring of a higher education vastly easier be- cause it lays a foundation and be- gins the training of the mind for the reception of higher ideas.
 A High School education is espec- ially valuable for it's associations The friendships made in school are many of them life long. do not be- lieve there is a man or woman who does not look back in his school life with keen enjoyment. The man who can not look back on happy school days is to be pitied even though he has become self educated and suc- cessful. The moral which everyone should follow is that, "It pays to stay in School"
