GUAM Is A LOYAL ISLAND
Voluntary Universal Training Helps
Very Materially in Ameri-
canization.

How far the people of the Pacihc
island of Guam have progressed in the
process of Americanlzation is indicat-
ed in the current issue Of the Guam
News Letter, copies of which have re-
Gently reached Seattle, Wash, the
Post Intelligencer of that city states.
The island, which is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the orr
ent, is governed by Capt. Roy G. Smith
of the American navy, under the over
sight of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing q
very ardent brand Of Americanism
among the island people, who are
known as Chamorros and have a
strong admixture Of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele~
bration of Washington's birthday in
Guam, to which the people fiocked
from all parts of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence OF any
island highway system. The proceeds
of the various enterprises, amounting
g, to S1,27O.55, were donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the "hot dog" stand
realized $1O8.94; Buffers soda, $685.
50: knock the cat down, $112.O7; the
moving picture show, $3.50; the jit-
ney dance, $45.60; wheel of fortune,
$35O.1O; lemonade stand, $72.O3; base
ball game, $16.40. From all sources
the Red Cross received $500, and
subscriptions were given for $4,000 In
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had its first parade. Some time age
Governor Smith put into effect uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory IN
which such law has been made enec'
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form of the United States army. Seven
per cent of Guam's population Is IL
the militia, at which rate, If we OF the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros
we should have an army Of 7,OO0OOo

MGrass Widows"

The term "Grass Widow" very ike
" originated from the wording OF
Canon law of the eleventh century,
which ordained that widow should
remain under Gods protection ano
grace" for a full year after her nus
bands death, and then marry If she
pleased. Such women were widows
of grace" and in later parish regis
tiers they are described as "Grasse
Widowes." In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term "grass widow was APP
piled to unmarried mothers, and IN
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another explana-
ton of its origin is found here In the
United States. During the days Of
gold rushes 1t was common for men
to board out their wives until they
had made enough to start home in
the West, and this, in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"

MEMORIAL

There was great shock to the peo-
pie here on last Sunday afternoon
July 20, 1919 when news was receiv-
ed that Roy Mckinley Grant was
dead in Chillocothe, Ohio.
He had only been sick for a few
days; and God thought best to take
him from this life of pain and sor-
row to higher and nobler life be-
yond. He had recently returned
from France where he served as a
faithful soldier for several months.
His health was impaired when he
returned due to a severe attack of
influenza while cover there, but he
had a strong ambition to make a
great success in life and he went
back to Ohio to resume his work.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. V.
E. Grant. Was born April IA, 1895
in Monroe county near Chilhowee, he
was one of thirteen children and the
third death in the family. He was a
former student of Maryville College.
The remains were brought to his
home near Maryville Monday after
noon and funeral services were held
on Tuesday morning at Clark's Grove
by Rev. J. R. Dykes and Rev. j. M
Emert. The music was furnished by
the male quartet of Mt. Lebanon
church of which the deceased was a
former member. Rev. Emert was q
special friend of the Grant family
and Roy was a member of his church
Rev. Dykes in a touching and tender
tribute to Roy told of the high esteem
he was held in Ohio. The remark OF
a Ohio friend, "That if all the young
men with life like Roy's and did moi
go to heaven there would be mighty
few there" He will not be missed
only by young folks, but in the
churches where he was ever faithful
He was the President of the Eagle
tons Society of which we feel We
have lost our loyal and devoted mem
Der and President. We wish to ex
press our heartfelt sympathy to thu
bereaved family and draw up thu
following resolutions:
Resolved First, That he will b.
greatly missed by all, his Cheerful
disposition won for him many friends

and made all who came in contact
love him.
Resolved Second, That all may
profit by his example Of kindness and
thoughtfulness That we were his
friends and members may be better
by having associated with him.
Resolved Third, That the relatives
NAV be submissive to Gods will real
izing that "He doeth all things welP
May they know that He has a pur.
pose in everything. He giveth hi'
creatures to bear and will cause gooC
to result from sorrow.
