LUTHERAN CHILDREN GIVE
INTERESTING PROGRAM
Chris Adolf Loaded Them All In His
Big Truek-Refreshment Stand
Was Popular.

The Lutheran Sunday school pupils
enjoyed a real picnic In ]. ]. Soren-
sens orchard at Medley July 4th, in
fact their parents and other adults
claim to have had equally as good a
time as the children. The day was
ideal and the cool shade of the orch
ard appealed to everyone. To the
great joy of the Sunday school pupils.
the transportation manager, Chris
Adolf, took them all in his large
truck with two t~railers attached.
They arrived at the picnic place
about 10 a. m. and Immediately made
a grand rush on the center of all the
picnic attractions, the r%efreshment
stand, where ice cream, cold drinks
and other goodies were served. At II
o'clock a "nigger" suddenly appeared
on the scene, causing the children to
forget all about the goodies and turn
their attention in his direction. In
the patriotic and humorous program
that followed he entertained them in
true negro fashion. At IL o'clock
some wonderful appetites, character
istic of most ~picnics, were exhibited.
For the afternoon a special commit
tee had arranged a long list of CON
tests for young and old that were
thoroughly enjoyed. Prizes were
awarded all winners. The only dis
appointment of the day was that the
big balloon went up in flames" in
stead of going up in the air. Appreci,
alton is expressed to the oliver Nc.

reading the editorial. leads him to the
conclusion that the American Falls
Press Is not getting all the printing
from the various Independent High

thinks itself entitled.

gate a little farther, you would have
found that Independent Highway Dis

ltemized report of all bills paid at
each meeting, In fact we are required
TO condense our reports when having
them printed, which leads one to In

that II was better for the Public. that
the money raised for road purposes
should not go for printers bills.

NEW YORK. May 26. - President Harding in a Memorial day message to the American Legion, made public tonight. expressed hope that the fu ture would bring less need for fur ther national sacrifices. The message follows:
 Americans have never been much given to the establishment of holi days and fete days. Perhaps our na tional life has been so short, and entirely within so matter -of-fact and practical a period of the worlds his tory that we have been little moved by the sentiments that such occasions inspire. Yet, l think no nation has ever established a national day of cOnsecration that represented a more lofty and ennoblin gsentiment than does our national memorial day. To it's observance we have brought the full measure of sincere reverence and gratitude that great people is ever to entertain for those who have made the great sacrifice in its behalf.
 Memorial day marks our recogni- ton of those who, from national beginning. have deserved the most that the nation could give of grati- tude and apprecia tion. It.rcminds us that in every generation. from Lax

Whenever the demand has come and wherever it may have called the sons of our proud land, it has always been answered. Though we have never been a militant or war loving people, there has been no time when Ameri- cans did not rise to the full measure of the requirement which national honor and national safety imposed upon them. When national safety was the cause, the response was al ways insistent and decisive When civilization summoned and our sons were called to other seas and soils, we saw the same promptness, the same zeal, the same devotion.
