PLACE STATUES AT GRAVES
People Of Budapest Have Odd Methods
OF Perpetuating the Memory Of
the Dead.

While all civilized nations either
bury their dead or place them in vaults
or mausoleums. there is a curious Gus
tom carried out by the people Of Buda-
pest This Is found in the large ceme-
terry in that city which is known as
the Kerepesi Kozimero, where nearly
every family in Budapest buries its
dead. 1t is very large and contains
q number of handsome monuments, es.
pecially the one to Kossuth. who Is
known as the George Washington OF
Hungary.
The visitor TO that city of the dead

painting or statue of the person who Is
buried beneath each stone, an exchange
states. When the family Is wealthy
there Is the bust or recumbent figure
of the dead man or woman made from
his or her latest picture. while beside II
sits or stands the statue of the nearest
living relative. man or woman, carved
from life.
In some Instances the figures Of
several living members Of a family sit
beside the grave OF parent. But
perhaps the most interesting OF all are
pictures embedded in the gravestones
covered with glass and thus protected
from the weather.
Still another peculiarity is the bronze
or Iron lamp posts on the graves and
the huge silver balls set up on many.
The latter are like the colored glass
balls used upon our Christmas trees,
except they are always sllvered and
much larger. There seems to be no
way OF lighting the lamps, and the
only Inference is that they are used to
light the dead to heGven or where
candles may be placed when relatives
or friends are offering prayers for the
dead.

HISTORY NOT MERE RECORD
Writer, to Set II Down Successfully,
Must Use His Constructive
Imagination.

There is no commoner cause Of his
torlcal misjudgment than the ten
dency to read the events Of the past
too exclusively in the light Of tile
present, aud so twist the cold and un-
conscious record into the training
service of controversial r0lltics. And
yet history is inevitably to a great ex-
tent work of the Imagination. No
good historian is content merely to re-
peat the record of the past. He has
to understand 1t, to see behind it, to
find more In 1t than 1t actually says.
He cannot understand without the use
of his constructive imagination, and
he cannot Imagine effectively with-
out the use OF his experience. ] be-

Bloody Civil War Battle.

In 1862, on the 3lst day Of May,
the battle of Fair Oaks, Va, took
place. 1t was a small engagement,
but in proportion to the number of
men engaged was one OF the most
sangulnary OF the Civil war. An ad-
vance guard Of the Army OF the Po-
tomac, numbering 10000 men, was at
tackled by a force Of about $1,000 Con-
federates a few miles east of Rich
nond. The battle lasted a day and a
half and resulted in technical vic
tory for the northern soldiers. Each
side lost more than 1000 men in killed.
wounded and missing.

FISHING LAWS GIVEN
OUT BY GAME WARDEN

ROSEBURG, Ore.--That the clos
ed season during the months Of De-
cember, January, February and
March, established by law at the
last session OF the Oregon leglsla-
ture, does not bar hook and line
fishing during that period is the
welcome announcement made by
State Game Warden Carl d. Shoe
maker, who was in Roseburg for a
brief period on his way to Marsh
field.
The closed season law has been
misunderstood by anglers generally
thru the state said Mr.. Shoemak-
er, "and this Misunderstanding Is
due to the fact that little or no at
tention has been paid to the distinc-
ticn made by the legislature be-
tween fish that are classed as sal
mon apd those designated as trout.
Salmon trout as they are called,
the land-locked stunted Chinook
commonly known at lack salmon,
and that greatest delight of all Ore
son anglers-the steelhead-are not
affected by the closed season law.
These three species of game fish are
classed as salmon, and they may be
caught the year round with hook
and line without legal interruption.
"The closed season law does ap-
ply, however, to all other species of
game fish, such as the rainbow, cut
throat, redside and black spotted
river trout, in fact all trout-so
cclled, except such fish as are not
classed by law as salmon"
When asked regarding the pleas
ant farms, recently purchased by the
state, Mr. Shoemaker said that the
two farms consist OF 2S acres near
Corvallis. and AS acres near Eu-
gene.
Because the Chinese pheasant,
once SO plentiful thruout western
Oregon, are now rapidly being hunt
ed out until there are only a few left
the farms were purchased with the
ideaeof raising the birds and llber-
ating them at the right season Of
the year. For every hen liberated
in the spring." says the game war
den, eve can safely count on eight
young pheasants hatched. This will
give the sportsmen 5000 young for
every 1000 birds liberated. By the
old method" explained Mr.. Shoe
maker, whereby the birds were lib
Grated in the fall, a great loss re-
suited from shooting, from the hard
winters Oregon sometimes suffers
and from their natural enemies. II
this method still prevailed closed

By the present method of liberat-
Stonehouse carried off the lady'sI
1000 liberated, or 1000 pairs. 5000
birds can be counted on which, with
the old ones, will mean 10000 birds
each season.

the following winter This was done
and some five hundred pieces were
exhibited, Is
The next year eight hundred pieces
were exhibited along with lard. sau-
sage and some butter. At each show
there have also been several hundred
dozen eggs displayed. In fact, the
first show was called "ham and egg
show. Around. two hundred dollars
in prizes were awarded last year.
The show this year is the third and
promises to be much the largest Of
any. Over one thousand pieces Of
meat are ready to be hung up in the
show room Last year there were but
two sour hams in the eight hundred
pieces. This year there are prizes a
mounting to about $4,000 to be dis
buted.
The College of Agriculture will
have demonstrators on hand to tell
how to cure meat, raise and feed
hogs, make butter care for milk and
much about better homes and better
cooking. Experts from Washington, D.
c. and Athens, Georgia, will be on
hand. There is no admission charged.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
THE BRIDGE ONCE MORE

The Dispatch must tell the bust
ness people of Cordele once more that
traffic beyond Flint river has been
impossible for the past twelve days,
except by rail. No telling yet how
long it will be impossible to cross at
Huguentin':. The people in that large
area along the Flint on the other side
might be a thousand miles away so
far as accessibility to trade in Cordele
is concerned.
When the river rises, it becomes
Immediately impossible to use the
ferry. So far the people all along the
river for more than thirty miles ad-
jacent to Cordele have not been able
to get across the river Nobody from
the other side can come this way ex-
cept by rail. Nobody on this side can
attend business on the other side
except by rail. 1t is indeed blessing
that the rail road is left.
1t would not cost much to put a
bridge across Flint river at Huguen-
ms Ferry, if we are permitted to stop
and compare the cost with the great
advantages that come to business and
traffic on both sides of the Flint
1t is coming more and more to be a
necessity. The bridge would immediat
ely increase the values of, farming
property along the Flint for many
miles, and the people who live close
to Hugenin's Ferry ought to keep
raising a row with everybody else
in Sae world till that bridge is built
The business men of Cordele ought
to keep raising an eternal disturban
ce from one end Of the county tc the
other till the bridge is built. The ira
yelling public instead of knocking
Somebody" for the last OF progress
sive spirit, ought to keep that hridg'
eternally on the mind. They SHOULD
never take an order for goods withou
writing on the order Don't forget t
build that bridge"

RIGHT KIND OF SHOW

meat in the South is to be put On by
Negro farmers in the vicinity of Fort
Valley, Georgia, March Is and IA, 1919
1t is said to be the largest exposition
land demonstration of meat curing,
butter making and kindred things of
any attempted by the Negroes. 1t
started in this way:
About four years ago a specialist
from the Georgia State College of
Agriculture gave lecture on meat
curing to a number of farmers and
students at the Fort Valley High and
Industrial School. At the conclusion
of his address he suggested that his
time would have been wasted and his
efforts to do them good all in vain il

WHOSE FUNERAL Is IT.?

SNGEhH- ~
Stars and Stripes: There are
great many splendid things being
said and done in the States incident to
the American soliers's return. And,
as might be expected, great many
many things equally as silly.
The American soldier believes that
this war. has been fought for some
thing very spiritual and yet very
tangible, and that the peace to follow
is to be a worthy one. He will re-
turn to face life with the same high
courage with which he confronted
death. He feels sure of the welcome
he will find, and he hopes to slide
back quietly and unostentatiously into
harness and help pull the load of a
bigger, better world
To programs OF land reclamation
and vocational training insurance
protection and help for the manned
and blind the returning soldier looks
i forward as a measure Of justice
which he hopes will be worked out
tc contamination in keeping with
the new order of things
There are, however, unfortunately
great many people in the States
with lots of time and nothing to do,
to whom it ought to be suggested that
he does not appreciate the charity
campaign now in full swing. He does.
MT object to his old uniform and some
of its accessories nor to the extra
months pay-that is an intimate
little matter between himself and his
Uncle. But when he picks UP the pap
or and reads perhaps nine out of fiji
teen items some novel proposition,
rather vague, but nevertheless en-
tirely suggestive of the charitable
intentions of the authors, he feels
very much like a man who has left
| home and upon returning finds some
one else installed in the best chambers
and the word welcome" on the eel
Ter door.
One state is planting trees for us,
another naming pigs for us. all the
hens in another state is laying eggs
for us, and someone else is planning
to make New York policemen out of
us, Some governors are calling the
politicians together and proclaiming
that something has got to be done
with us, and committees are being
appointed with salaries) to look into
the matter. Some are recommending
that all of us be hired by the govern
ment
What tremendous awakening is in
store for all these dear people when
the soldier set foot upon the old sod
shakes the dust of battle from his
clothes and wades into things with
a breeze that will blow all the charity
boards and governors committees
out of his way forever!
