As the recollection of the Civil

humanity by especially honoring the
men who threw their young lives into
the breach to defend the ideals OF
civilization in the last war.
And Memorial Day this year comes
with a richer significance because The
picture OF that great sacrifice is still
undimmed and many a broken heart
is yet unhealed.
Let hundred million poppies
blow on this Mem orial Day in the

'Poppies are not so common as

and so poppies will be made Of silk

throughout America for this occasion.
The proceeds OF the sale will 90

making his confinement very disa.
greeable TO Chesterfield people. as

Boyd refuses TO wear any clothes,
and to all appearances he is oblivious
to surroundings. He did not so much
as glance AT Mr.. Skies when he en-
tered his cell. keeping his eyes glued
to the floor as he paced around his
bunk nodding his head to and fro.
The Chesterfield authorities are at
loss as to what disposition to make
of Boyd. The South Carolina insane

to have blasted their hopes of send

the point that Boyd was taken from

Abraham Lincoln still stoutly de-

claiming that he was at home work

committed. Mr.. Skies has been en-
ployed by Lincoln's sister. who is
employed by wealthy New York

What effect Boyd's insanity would
have on the outcome of the proceed
