This Civil War Veteran is Right Too.

Editor Joe Grave in his Wayerly
Independent expresses himself thus:
Memorial Day, May 80, 1920, comes
on Sunday, and now some good peo-
pie again tell us. "As Decoration
Day comes on Sunday this year. it
is probable that Monday will be OBJ
served as the day on which to do
honor to the soldier dead" And now
we are moved again to express our
sentiments against that idea. We
want to say again: There is no day
too good or too sacred to observe
Memorial Day. When Memorial Day
May 30-comes on Sunday, then
that Sunday is Memorial Day. There
should be nothing in Memorial Day
program but what is proper for a
Sunday program. If Memorial Day is
observed this year it should be OBJ
served on Sunday, May 80. There is
no day too sacred for a Memorial
Day program.

Fire Truck Out of Commission.

Auto fire trucks get out of com
mission occasionally, as will be
noted from the following from the
Oelwein Iowan. but it is the first
time in the trucks six years of SER
vice that it has been out of commits
sion:
IF you happen to hear the fire
whistle, don't start looking for the
big red truck for you are apt to be
disappointed and only see in its
place a rather ordinary, everyday
looking truck with a hose cart fast
ened behind dashing to the fire.
The fire truck is at present disabled
Yesterday trouble developed in the
water pump, and the judgment oil
the expert called in was immediate
removal and new parts. So another
truck has been placed on emergency
duty and equipped with hose reel
and chemical extinguishers and Fred
Howe is offering to bet that he can
get to fire with the substitute as
quickly as he could with the regular
duty truck"

CHILD SWALLOWS PIN.
Speedy Measures Relieve Infant
After Discovery is Made.

Council Bluffs, lathe mem
bers of the family of DR.. Donald Mac
Rea, which at present includes Don
Mac Rea III, his wife and young
baby, were at first amused and then
alarmed over the repeated words of
the baby, which continued to lisp,
pin sticky, pin sticky" at the same
time indicating with its hands there
was something wrong in the region
of the child's stomach. No pin was
found concealed in the child's cloth
ing, and sensing the puzzled condi-
ton of mind of the older folks, the
little one continued to repeat the
words.
Finally Doctor Mary FINLEY was
called in and she soon said the child
had undoubtedly swallowed a pin.
Heroic remedies were resorted to
and within ten hours the child pas
sed the pin along with bloody mucus
and was soon relieved of its "pin
sticky" and is today apparently
none the worse for its experience.
Mrs. Mac Rea, Jr., is an Iowa City
