conference Tuesday and Wednesday
and i'm its report to the assembly yes
terday had cast reflection on the evan
gelism of Billy Sunday, and that the
Assembly by it's approval of its Per-
manent Committee report re~pudiated
the work of the great evangelist. The
moderator this morning took the first
opportunity to call the Assembly's at

for the Assembly and SO far the church
any such idea. DIR. Mayha, Secretary
of the Committee. denied any such in
tention in the Committees advocacy of

GRAVES 5000 DEAD
at Must Not BE Again, Says President
At Funeral Services For 5000 Wal
Dead At HObOken Pier

New York, May 23.-"It must o be
again"
With these solemn words, President
Harding today laid a wreath on the
coffin of the first American soldier to
die on German soil, at a funeral cere-
mony for 5000 war dead at the army
piers in Hoboken.
His voice husky and his eyes brim-
ming with tears, the president gazed
at the rows of collins. Then he said,
"One hundred thousand sorrows are
touching my heart. 1t must not be
again. God grant that il will not be.
II do not pretend that the millen-
NAL days have come and hat there
will be no war. | would wish a
nation so powerful that none would
dare to provoke its wrath"
Then in the great army shed on the
shores of the Hudson with its stark
white washed walls there fell a silence
profound and deep. Mrs. Harding
could be cen weeping softly as she
looked on the flag drapped collins of
those who had given their all for their
country.
The President continued: THE re-
public will never forget the sacrifices
these men have made-whether they
lie on the soil of the homeland or the
crimsoned soil of the battlefield"
When the president had finished his
brief address he stepped forward, stop
cpd in front of the coffin that had been
selected to symbolic the army sur
rounding him and laid upon it his
wreath of roses and orchids.
There was another moment of sill
ence. 1t was as if the great piers,
bustling with life as men went forth
to death, had been turned to a tomb
after the return of those who had sur
yived.
On the collins decorated by the pres
idential hand vas a plate chronicling
the fact that Joseph Guyton, of Eyart,
Mich, a private in Co. |, of the 126th
United States infantry had given his
life for his country on May "a, 1918
in the Gildwilder sector in Alsace.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER;
IT'S MEANING AND USES

The flag of the U. s.. is composed Of
white, standing for the thirteen origin
al colonies, and a field Of blue with
.forty-eight stars, one for each state in
the Union.
In the language of the flag, red
stands for courage; white for purity,
and blue for truth and fidelity.
II is the symbol ofihe brotherhood
of man, to bear the StA Spangled ban
ner is an honor, to own one is a trust.
Etiquette Of the Flag
During the time of war the flag may
be displayed continuously, but should be
hoisted after sunrise and lowered be-
fore sunset. II should be displayed
from a stax whenever possible.
When hung vertically ESQ you can
see one side only the blue field should
be at the right as one faces 1t.
When hung h%oriszonal, the field of
blue should be at the left, as II would
be were IL attached to a pole.
The Flag should never be allowed to
touch the ground when being hoisted
or lowered; its folds should float free
ly and If caught should be cleared at
once.
The Flag should be saluted by all
present while being hoisted or lowered
and when il is passing on parade, the
spectators should rise If setting, halt
If walking, and men in civilian dress
and covered should uncover and hold
the headdress opposite the left should
er with the right hand.
There are four classes of people who
do not salute the flag, the careless. the
forgetful, the ignorant and the enemy,
which you may group as one.

Two Farm Buildings Burn
Result Of Saturdays Storm

During the Saturday nights storm,
lightning struck the barn on the John
Gibson farm, 11a miles southeast of
Rec Heights. The barn was quite a
large one and the reflection of the fire
could he plainly seen in Miller. The
extent of the loss outside the burning
of the barn was not learned.
Sunday morning about 800 o'clock
the house on the Dave Chadwick farm
was destroyed by fire, burning so
quickly that but a few articles of fur
niture was able to be removed 1t is

chimney was struck by lightning Sat-

~The Dress Form Demonstration,

by II. s. Parsons
Did you hear about the meeting the
women had last week, down there in
Jones' district. Now some OF them
don't speak. They met to make some
dress forms that they had read about,
and asked the demonstration agent to
come and help them out. Hank Jones'
wife said they could use her kitchen
and spare room, and come and bring
their paste and glue and stay all
afternoon. These dress forms that
they're making are made right on the
dame, each buys a skirt or swipes the
kids to make the dress form frame.
They stretch il over their corsets, and
paste it all over, with d thousand yards
of paper strips. like paper on a wall.
They stand around and Taught and talk
with corsets laced up tight. They can't
sit down, but stand around like men
stripped for a fight. They cannot even
sit them down to take a little rest. but
have to stand around and wait in
sticky form compressed. All men are
banned from house and home, while
forms are being made. Poor Hank, he
had to stay outside within the barns
dark shade. At last the forms are dry
and ready to take off. They slit them
up the center and shed them like a
moth. They set them all up in a row
to study and compare, and that's what
made the trouble, between the women
there. Fat, Mrs. Brown, whose ample
form was full a flfty-two, was sore
because il wasn't neat like that of slim
Miss Drew. Some forms were curved
- x...lA - ->.a-
were mighty slim. and some were thick
and chunky, and others very thin.
They all looked like the whose
forms they had to fit; each was a per-
feet pattern just like a close-knit init.
Each dress form told the story of wo-
man as she is, and she should be O n
tented to take II as ii is. III she is fat
and forty and had a fifty bust, she
shouldn't envy smaller ones, for ma
lures always just.

HARD SURFACE A
From the Aberdeen Journal

tElOAu thS dOOh ooui hutt
A model mile of hard surface
road has just about been complet-
ed at Sioux Falls. So far as we
know this is the first piece of road
of the character outside some of
the paved streets in some of the
cities of South Dakota, but it won't
be the last. In the east and in
other states, after the start has
been made, hard surface roads
have come rapidly and systems
have heen built. A piece of this
kind of road is the best argument
there is for more of it, and we pre-
dict that it won't be long before
much more of this kind of high
way will be undertaken and COM
pleted.
