MEMORIAL DAY BRINGS BACK \
THE HIGH IDEALS OF WAR5
We Get Very Sentimental but Our Esaltation Goes Don
With the Sunset and We Return to the Same
. Old SeLfshness Il.

WHAT sacred and stimulating
memories" shall we have this year
on Memorial Day?
Shall we go back to those thrilling
days of the war when we went bravely
to the station and waved good-by. in
spite of the tears that blurred our view
of the smiling, jaunty boy who waved
back to us? Shall we remember how
hard we worked for that boy andeall his
"buddies" while he was away? Can
we get once more the sensation of joy
and relief that we felt when the over
seas mail brought our. envelope to us
and we knew that our soldier was safe,
at least when he wrote It? y
It Is certain that some of us will never
forget the strange grief of those days
that kept on coming and going after
that dreaded word from the government
arrived-"killed in action" "died OF
wounds" missing" 1t was terrible
kind of grief, for it all seemed so remote
and so uncertain. 1t seemed wrong to
grieve over glorious death. and there
were so many boys who felt as one
wrote, "If anything happens don't
wear black. wear gold for me- Yet,
we had lost boy, we could not help
grieving.
We go back to all that on Memorial
Day.
When we see the flag that meant so
much to Nc during the war, we remember
how we felt about It then. 1t wasn't
just a piece of silk then with special
design on It in colors.. 1t was "our
fag," and it stood for all the high ideals
with which we entered and carried on
the war. The lump that has been grow =
ing in our throats gets almost too big
to manage when we reach this thought
about the flag. We see lines of khaki,
we hear bands playing the ragtime that
the rhythm Of thousands of feet in step,
our heads nod in time with the swing
of those broad shoulders rs they pass in
review before oIlr minds eve We work

DE Jure" should open his eyes. ad-
just his thinking cap and realize the
good things in life, other than speeding

Become acquainted with the right kind
of girls. T0en you will see how they
take your interests at heart, and try

But, DE Jure' and his kind must be
honest, too, and tell the girls where
she will be satisfied with your choice.
However, DO not ask her where to go.
Her respect for you prompts her to

from the navy store. Can you tell me
how to bleach them quickly?
A READER
Wash these materials and hang them
out in the hot sun for a full day. You
could bleach the sheeting more quickly
by using javelle water, which can be
bought at the drug store, but this would
not do for the flannel, as 1t Is too

Fight Of Hardwood Traffic AS
ISOLATION Brings Relief
From Order to Send Box
cars to Grain Fields.

Hardwood lumber shippers Of the
Memphis territory are congratulating
themselves Friday on the successful
fight which the Southern Hardwood
Traffic association conducted against
the order Of Railroad Director Hines,
giving priority to bulk grain shipments
on boNoars, which for several days
threatened 10 strip the Y. 6 NJ. V, and
l. c. lines in this territory Of boNoars
and virtually stop the movement OF
vast quantities OF lumber and other
wood products that continually ema-
nate from mills in the territory.
After several strenuous days Of rapid
fire communication with Washington,
lumber shipments are now moving nor
mally according to q statement made by
J. n. 1ownshend. secretary manager
Of tho H. rdwood Traffic association.
When &c. order was first issued and
interpreted in railroad headquarters to
mean the sending Of all boxcars on
the Illinois Central lines in the South

West, the Hardwood Trafflce associa-
ton hurried j, V. Norman, the ascot
atoms legal counsel, to washington,
from Louisville, to plead for modinca-
ton Of the order Immediately upon
his arrival in Washington Mr.. Norman
got in touch with Senator Mcclellan
and the senator began To make things

kilograms began TO fly back and forth
between Mr.. Townshelld and the soma
tor and Mr.. NoEnlan, telling of first
one and then another Interpretation
OF the order Finally a telegram was
received Thursday morning restoring
conditions TO normal. II appeared"that
the railroad administration had never
intended that the Illinois Centrars sup
ply OF boxcars should be stampeded
out OF the Memphis territory ana
rushed into the grain fields without
any consideration of the needs OF lum-
Der and other shippers Of the territory.
As a result of the uncoverlng or what

In seeking an investigation the Hard

is taking a necessary precaution TO pro-
