NATION HONORS
ALL HER HEROES
Memories of Veterans of Three
Wars Are Enshrined in
Country's Heart.

Memorial day is the day of the dead,
the veterans of three wars; but.
though newly consecrated by the fresh
and poignant sacrifices of those who
passed away in the great wal of liber-
alton "over there" there cannot be
now, any more than in the past, any
associations but those of true joy and
honorable pride, far removed from the
despair of causes lost, or from griefs
over those whose death Is without
meaning and enc without result. For
1t is the holy joy Of those who know
that the sacrifices were not in vain
that distinguished this day of days
this year coupled with the realization
that both those who vent and those
who remained Joined freely In the
oblation on the altar Of the country
with an un%falterlng belief in the fine
nobility Of the obligation and the deep
significance If what 1t meant for the
common good.
While the ceremonies On his side
| follow the usual lines. heightened by
the opportunity TO pay fresh homage
where homage Is due, the tribute that
is paid 'over there" beginning with
the ceremony at S%uresnes, near which
has been developed the American
cemetery nearest to Paris, at which
President Wilson oficlated last year.
In the very presence OF the dead them
selves, takes on an especially moving
character. For In nothing did the
American expedltionary force and all
its helpful accessory agencies, such as
the Red Cross. so distinguish them
selves as In their concern that the last
resting place of those who fell abroad
should b. neither unknown, unmarked
nor unhonored. As a result of this
determined and consecrated effort of
all services, the new graves of the
hero dead, be they located where they
fell, or removed to the permanent
centers of burial that have been Sc
lected at appropriate places as the
official American cemeteries, will re-
ceive every attention that is their just

PASSING OF THE GRAND ARMY
Significant That In Omaha Three Posts
Of Veterans Have Had to Be
Consolidated.

One of the items of local news ear
ries with II a tinge Of sadness, oh
serves the Omaha Bee. It recounts
the fact that the three Omaha posts
Of the Grand Army of the Republic
are to be consolidated because they no
longer have numerical strength for
more than one. This Is simple no
tice that the great organization of men
who wore the blue and marched with
Grant and Sherman. is passing IN
more rapidly than we realize. They
we're boys in '65, when the conflict
closed, but that was more than half
a century ago, and the youngest head
that sheltered under a soldiers cap
then Is now snow-white from age. 1t
was Inevitable that this association of
men who shared together he hard
ships and privations, the dangers and
the triumphs of war, should pass in
its time, for. its members are immor-
tai only in the deeds they wrought
and the glory they brought to America.
Soon the muffied drums sind roll"
will have beaten the last tattoo for the
Grand Army (; the last veteran will have
been laid away to await the bugle
sounding reveille in eternity, the last
bronze button will be placed alongside
the tattered old battle flags and the
stained uniform, and the Grand Army
of the Republic will live only In the
memory of a people who will more and
more enjoy the fruitage Of Its history.
For
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
While glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

Four Sharp, Hard Tusks-
Never Pull Them.

Soon after pigs are born, the four

cut of. Take a pair Of nippers and
cut the teeth of, but not too near the
gums. Often these tusks cut the sow's.

not let the pigs suck. Then. also. the
pigs cut themselves with those tusks.
and sometimes stick them through
their tongue. cannot suck. and starve.
They cause sore mouth. They are soft
and easily removed.
A pair Of sharp scissors will cut
them easily but under no circumstan-
ces should. they be pulled out II It ia
e that a pig is getting TOO fat, It Is
evidence that It is robbing its matcs.
To prevent this, take a sharp knife
and cut its rooter in two or three
places, deep enough to make It sore.
and It will stop taking more than its
share.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFITS
only About 4 or 8 Per Gent Of Live
stock 10 Purebred and pemand
Steadily Growing.

There are many opportunities for
good profits in the breeding OF pure
bred live stock. When 1t Is consid-
cred that only about 4 or 5 per cent OF
all our stock is purebred and that
the demand for better stock is steadi-
ly growing 1t must be clear that there
is still room for capable men with a
love for live stock to make breeding
a profitable business. But the man
who is not prepared either through
training or inclination to devote a
large part Of his time to the care ana
management Of his stock Is surely
making a mistake to engage In the
purebred business.

KEEPING SHEEP FOR MUTTON
There Are Many Areas Where Animals
Could Be Kept to Advantage
for Meat and Wool.

Sheep are not very generally kept on
farms for supplying the home family
with meat. There are many areas,
especially In billy or mountainous re-
gions, where nearly every farm could
keep a few mutton sheep to advan-
tage. Boys and girls clubs in some
parts of the country have lone much
to foster home production of mutton.
Sheep naturally Craze over rather

Ell Paso, Texas, May 17.-All of the
members of Carranza's cabinet have
been captured and sent to Mexico City,
according to a message said to have
been received by revolutionary agents
here from Gen. Aware Obregon, who
at present is in Mexico City.
The attack on the Carranza minis
tiers, who were e~ndeavoring TO protect
their chief, ended in "a complete tri-
umph for the Liberal Constitutionalist
party" according to advices received
in Augas Calientes from Gen. Fran
cisco r. Serano, chief of staff of the
revolutionary army.
Revolutionary forces attacking Pres-
ident Carranza's convoy near Rincon-
ada, in the state of Puebla, have cap
tured all the money, archives and valu-
ables Carranza toe with him on his
flight from Mexico City, according to
a message received by revolutionary
agents here from General Obregon.
The valuables were captured from
trains which accompanied President
and are valued at many millions of
dollars. The treasure cars have been
returned to Mexico City.
w. A. Body, British consular agent
at Vera Cruz, who was reported with
President Carranza, was "set free" by
General Obregon, the message said,
and given 'every consideration and
facilities,' together with all other
civilians.
This was taken to neal here that
| Body and other civilians had reached
the rebel Ines, although the process
was not known here.
The Mexican general elections, gen
orally believed Indefinitely postponed
because of the revolution, will be held
on the date originally announced -
July 4.
This announcement was made by
Gen. Carlos Plank, chief of h So
nora customs guards and senatorial
alternate for Governor de la Huerta o.
Sonora, who arrived in Juarez on hi
way to the session OF the Mexican
Congress called for May "a to name
provisional President.
Washington.-Carran2a's failure t.
remain a military factor in Mexican
affairs has caused American business
men and officials to center their at
tention on the de facto government
program of political and economic re
organization.
The State Department, it was an
nounced, received information that In
Monterey all public offices were oper
as usual and the de facto forces wert
respecting the rights of foreigners ant
nationals alike. Foodstuffs were re
ported to have increased in prices ant
the local Chamber of Commerce Il
have adopted relief measures in be
half of the poor.
The repair of the lines of communi
cation had not yet progressed ia.
enough to enable even the government
to obtain its reports except in frag
mentary form, although wires out Of
Monterey were being restored.
