LEST We FORGET
~ ~ ~

iIhey have come back, those
noble lads who went as boys
and returned as heroes. To
them we shall forever owe
a debt of gratitude. Though
they may ask for nothing,
our honor is not to be meas
ured by their pride. The
least we can do is to always
reveal with frankness the ad-
miration and affection which
their manliness evokes-al-
ways-not today alone, but
tomorrow and throughout all
the coming tomorrows.
Tin them we take pride-a
distinctive and a large pride.
For we see them not only as
our sons, but as the ripe
product of American civiliza-
ton, eXemplars to the world
of the American attitude to-
ward life, in their valor.
tenacity and strength, in
their eagernesS, their "honor
and clean mirth." We took
them sternly, for our need
was stern, but they did not
whimper. We welcome them
warmly, for our hearts over
flow with rejoicing at their
return.
'But all are not here who
went ava! For those whose
hand-clasp was loosened in
the swift push of battle.
there is reserved in our
hearts a cheer that is louder
than for any others and a
deeper love. We know that
they are happy, for they died
doing His work.

Secretary of the Interior.

regarding the strange actions Of hogs

the animals jumping into the air. He
investigated and found them after big.

the grasshoppers that he had to re-
move them to another field where the

War has been declared on the aphis
that annually destroyed thousands ot
dollars worth of crops In eastern

ladybugs Is being recruited by the

throughout the two northwestern
states.
The ladybug Is the natural, enemy OF
the aphis. When liberated in colony

Stories with unhappy endings are
easier to write. The human mind Is
