DECORATION DAY

Firstly, dame nature smiled upon
this auspicious occasion, whereas,
alas, she too often weeps along with
the rest of US, but on this day the
sun shone clear and bright in sky
that was cloudless from morning
until night.
The band discoursed very enjoy
able music throughout the day and
did themselves no little credit. The
procession of old soldiers from their
hall to the auditorium and later to
the cemetery, while not imposing in
numbers, was none the less impress
sive, as the sight of the white haired
and infirm veterans, carried one in
thought back to the days when they
stood erect in the vigor of young
manhood and participated in what
up to that time was the greatest
armed struggle in the worlds history,
struggle in which they achieved
that which our sons of the present
day have been fighting just as vail
antly to perpetuate. The vision of
the boys and girls of the public
schools in this line of march, each
carrying the flag of their country
lent charming touch Of color to the
scene and also added to its inspira-
ton.
B. E. Conlee presided during the
progress of the program, as chairman
Of the day, very gracefully, and the
c. E. Quartette rendered several Sc
lections in the most pleasing manner.
The drill given by the boys Of the
first grade Of the public schools, un-
der the direction, of their teacher,
Miss Mable Blackney, was very
clever performance and won for all
concerned the generous applause of
the audience.
The committee having charge Of
the arrangements, this year, are also
entitled to be complimented on the
tasteful manner in which the audi
torium was decorated.
The address given by Rev. A. T.
Camburn was generally considered a
masterpiece, in which eloquent trib-
ute was paid to the sacrifice and the
valor of the soldiers who from '61-'65
fought for unity and freedom, the di-
rect heritage of which is the great
country whose privileges we now en-
joy. He also paid a feeling tribute
to the wives and mothers of that
crucial period and to the soldiers of
the great World War, who, on for
eign soil had fought and died to up
hold the ideals of Christianity and
civilization and the honor of their
country. The address is considered
to have been one Of the best heard
here in a number of years.
The cemetery was most beautifully
decked with flowers, and here, over
the grave of their most recently bur-
led comrade, the members of the
Grand Army Of the Republic carried
out the impressive memorial services
of their order, thus bringing to
I fitting close the exercises of the day.
The committee chosen to have
charge of Memorial Day next year
is as follows: Chairman, f. E. Huyck,
Secretary, George Lacure, and rep
resenting the veteran organizations,
| William +. Wood, Jerome Currier,
Mrs. Harriet Anderson and Mrs. Ed
Bingham.

WALDO SCHOOL SOCIAL

Pupils of the Waldo school enjoyed
a social at the home of their teacher,
Miss Eleanor Acheson, Thursday
evening. Games were played and a
grand good time was had by all. The
Waldo enjoys an enviable reputation
among the schools of the township
and under Miss Acheson's efficient di-
rection for the past year it has lost
nothing of its fame. Ice cream and
cake put proper finish to the charm
ing occasion above referred to.

THREE MAY Die
AS RESULT OF
III AUTO SMASHUP
Motorcycle, Said &c Be Travelling at
Rate of 60 Mics An Hour,
Crashes Into Auto.
LITTLE HOPE FOR RECOVERY
Accident Occurs On Ninth Street,
Near Twenty ninth Avenue
Rushed to Hospital.

An almost fatal accident occurred
at 1 o'clock this Afternoon, when a
motorcycle driven by G. W. San
tee, 1912 Wilkes avenue, Davenport,
crashed headon with the automobile
owned and driven by J. Marion
Hobson of Davenport. The acct
dent occurred directly in front. of
the residence at 2755 Ninth street,
near the approach of the hill fac
ing the cemetery.
Santee sustained fractured
skull and other injuries, while his
two companions, Homer F. McCul-
Tough, sos Twenty-fourthi street,
and Lon McCandIess of Davenport,
who were seated in the bus at
tached to the cycle, sustained lnjur-
les from which they will probably
die. All three were rushed to st.
Anthony's hospital and the attend
Ing physician, DR.. Joseph De Silva,
stated there was little hope for the
recovery of Santee.
Seated in the Maxwell being
driven by Mr. Hobson were the lat
ter's wife and H., c. Hopkins, the
latter being a returned soldier with
the Thirteenth engineers. He was
seated in the rear of the machine
and was thrown to the ground with
the force of the impact.
= The police version of the acct
dent was received by the occupants
of the automobile who were taken
to the station by Officers Roland
Berry and John Kinney. Mrs. Hob
son was hystericaI over the acct
dent and could only give an inco-
herent account of what happened
Mr.. Hobson. however, said that his
car had practically come to stop
and that he had no intimatiOn of
the approaching motorcycle, which
according to the estimate he made,
was travelling at the rate of so miles
an hour. When the cycle struck the
car, Mr.. Hobson was jammcd
against the wheel but failed to sus-
tain injuries necessitating medical
treatment
Were Going to Milan.
The Hobson party were on their
way to Milan where they planned
on spending the afternoon with
relatives in that town. They had
decided to stop in the roadway 10
inspect the machine and had al
ready made the signal plain to any
other machine that might have
been behind them The hill facing
them INSTRUCTED the view in front.
Santee had only recently put in
application for the position of mot
orcycle officer and it is the opinion
of the police that he was trying out
a burst of speed.
Hobson and his wife together
with Hopkins all testified that the
motorcycle was being driven at
speed of almost so miles an hour.
The machine of Mr.. Hobson was
damaged although it was not put
out of commission and served TO
bring the latter together with his.
wife and Hopkins, to the station.
