THE NEW MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial Day tomorrow will have a
deep meaning, a great significance. to
every person in these United States.
Those of today have taken slight heed
of the yesterdays cherished by the
Boys who wear the Blue. Little they
thought of the tomorrow that would
find one missing from their circle.
But now with eyes that see also comes
finer conception and so Memorial
Day is to US today what it was to those
mothers and wives, sisters and sweet
hearts of two score years ago.
On every long and harrow grave
which sepulchres a willing patriot the
rose and rue will fade and wither; not
SO the memory of the dead. Mothers
and wives will cherish the bits of
sacred ground and garnish them with
flags and flowers as outward emblems
of an undying love.
? North and South and East and West
today are truly united, one and indivis-
ible. bound together by the blood of
their finest youth shed in a common
cause. Tho they sleep. yet from them
comes to the world a great awaken
ing. The lessons Of the awful horrors
of Picardy, of Chateau Thierry and
the Marine, of Argonne Wood. have
changed the very nature of those
whose eyes saw, whose ears heard, but
whose tongues fail to tell the tale of a
woe that passes all understanding.
For the new civilization that must
evolve from the chaos of the Great
War, your boy and my boy is proud
to be honored. Those with US can
hear their acclaim sound to the stars.
Those in their narrow beds meath for
eign skies need not be told the value
of their work well done. The voice
less message sent by faith and love
fast outspeeds the wirelessed thought
and returns as paens of comfort to
the aching hearts whose solace Time
alone can be.
Memorial Day is Memory Day for
loved ones in our hearts.

The governments experiment in
building rooming houses for its en-
ployes in Washington appears to have
resulted as have most Of its activities
in handling business formerly con-
Quoted by private enterprise. In order
to provide living accommodations for
the tho 1sands of additional clerks and
employees in the government depart
ments employed because of the war
emergency. the government erected
large and well furnished rooming
houses, at enormous expense, with din
ing rooms, reading rooms, parlors, etc.
In many respects these rooms were
preferable to the rooms available in
private houses. They were new, clean,
we'll lighted. conveniently located and
better furnished than many of the
rooms the war workers were able to
obtain from private owners. But the
demand for the rooms was so slack
that the navy department made an or
der requiring certain OF it's employees
to occupy government quarters. Rea-
sons for not desiring to live in the gov
eminent houses are various, the most
common being that the charges are
higher than the renters must pay else
where. and that people do not like the
system OF personal supervision of their
daily lives. The consequence is that
the taxpayer must stand the expense
and the properties probably will be
sold ultimately at a price far below
their cost.

Working for Centenary Quota.

The total subscriptions fer the five
year term to the centenary movement
of the Methodist churches in the To-
peka district has reached the $4,000
mark, including benevolences. accord
ing to c. B. Zook, district chairman.
The district quota, including benevo-
lences, is S31S,O0O. 1t was intended
to make a Cleanup" this week, but
Memorial plans have broken into the

the latest to report their quotas in
full being Bellvue, Michigan Valley

The total subscriptions in the
United States Wednesday amounted to
$S7 100000. Indications are that the

What n wonderful world 1t is when the
rain has passed away
And the blue comes back to the sky once
more and the sunshine fills the day.
How fresh and bright are the friendly
trees that yesterday dripped their
= tears;
When the gloom departs and the sun
comes out, how splendid the world
appears!
But oh. how sweet. lie the thrill of joy
that comes to the troubled heart
When the sun Of hope shines high once
more and the clouds of fear DEPART
When the Lord has answered his anguish
ed prayers and his loved one smiles
again
How sweet the thrill of the peace that
comes TO Danish the hurt and main.

worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Tic That Binds.

A poor, unhappy, middle aged mill
Iionaire husband and wife have just
been divorced on the grounds of in
compatibility of temper.
The woman weeps and says. in be-
wildered sort of way. that she is sure
she doesn't know how it all came
about-that nobody could have loved
John did when they were married. or
could have been any happier than
they were when they were working
side by side. and shoulder to shoulder,
making their fortune. For they were
poor when they started out in life. but
they were determined to make money,
and they planned. and schemed, and
toiled, and sacrificed together, and
had every aim and aspiration and
thought in common.
"It was only after he became rich
that we began to drift apart. the wife
says, my husband got absorbed in
Wall street. l. in society, was crazy
for the gaieties 1 had been too poor to
have in my youth. They bored him to
death He wanted to live one sort of
life, 1 wanted to live another. 1t got
so we moved in different circles that
never touched. We had no tastes. no
interests in common. We didn't even
have anything to talk about, and so we
decided we would both be happier if
we were free to go our different ways.
I'VE were congenial in our youth.
but we are not congenial now; and L
don't know why"
1t takes no Solomon to read the poor
lady's sad little riddle and tell her why
she and her husband are no longer
happy together, or necessary to each
other, as they once were. 1t is because
they have no mutual interest. no COM
mon object for which they are striv-
ing.
This is the rock on which more
American marriages are wrecked than
any other in the whole matrimonial
sea, and it explains why so many mid
die aged men and women suddenly
discover that they have missed their
soul mates, and bring scandal and
misery on themselves by running off
after affinities about the time they
become grandparents
The great romance in this country
! is when poor young man marr1es a
poor young girl and they start out to
make their fortune. 1t is a great ad-
venture, full of thrills, and dangers.
and fanxieties, and excitement. and
bitter disappointmentS, and fierce joys,
and while they are strainins on to
their goal they have every ambition
and hope in common.
They are necessary to each other.
They are absorbingly interesting to
each other. They are fascinating COM
panions to each other, but when the
objective is once reached, and the for
tune made, if the desire for riches was
the only thing they had in common,
| they find that marriage has gone stale
and flat to them, that they bore each
other to extinction. and that they have
not even anything to say to each other.
