on their holiday decorations. The pa
rade, which was seen by thousands Fri
day afternoon, was one of the lergest
Westerly has had in many a year. The
different organizations turned out well,
headed by different bands and drum
corps, and all made a fine showing. The
floats in the parade by all the concerns
and organizations represented was es-
pecially well gotten up and all received
hearty praise. Col Everett E. Whipple
and his aides. started exactly at the
time appointed and the line of march
took in all the principal streets in

Ashaway and Potter Hill could see the

Burial, here is rather more than a sign
Of the Governments favor, it is sug-
gestion of tomb in the heart of the
Nation, sorrowing for its noble dead
Todays ceremonies proclaim that the
hero unknown Is not unhonored. We
gather him to the Nations breast,
within the shadow of the Capitol, of
the towering shaft that honors Wash
ing, the great father, and of the ex-
quisite monument to Lincoln, the mar
tyred savior. Here the inspirations of
yesterday and the conscience of today
forever unite to make the Republic
worthy of his death for flag and coun-
try.
Ours are lofty resolutions today, as
with tribute to the dead we consecrate
ourselves to a better order for the liv-
ing. With al lmy heart, L wish we
might say to the defenders who sur
vive, to mothers who sorrow, to. wild
ows and children who mourn, that
no such sacrifice shall be asked again.
It was my fortune recently to see a
demonstration of modern warfare. 1t
is no longer a conflict of chivElry no
more test of militant manhood. II
is only cruel, deliberate, scientific de-
struction. There was no contendine
enemy, only the theoretical defense OF
a hypothetic objective. But the attack
was made with all the relentless me-
thods of modern destruction. There
was the rain of ruin from the aircraft
er OF artillery, followed by
the unspeaka BILE devastation wrought
by bursting shells; there were NOR
tars belching thei$ bombs of desola-
ton; machine guns concentratin their
leaden storms; there was the infan
try, advancing, firing, and falling
like men with souls sacrificing for the
decision. The flying missiles were re-
vealed by Illuminating tracers, so that
we could note their flight and APP
praise their deadliness, The air was
streaked with tiny flames marking the
flight of massed destruction; while the
effectiveness of the theoretical defense
was impressed by the stimulation OF
dead and wounded among those going
forward, undaunted and, unheeding. AS
this panarona of unutterable destruc-
ton visualized the horrors of modern
conflict, there grew on me the sense
of the failure of a civilization which
can leave its problems to such cru
ell arbitrament. Surely no one in au-
thority, with human attributes and a
full appraisal of the patriotic loyalty
of his countrymen. could ask tho man
hood Of king, empire, or republic to
lna-.e sun. -
had failed, until appeal to justice
through understanding had been de-
MED, until every effort of love and
consideration for fellow men had been
exhausted, until freedom itself and in
violate honor had been brutality threat
ened.

but as one who loves justice and hates

fashioned in deliberate conviction, out
of unclouded thought, neither shad-
owed by remorse nor made vain by
fancies, is the commitment of this Re-
public to an advancement never made
before. If American achievement is a
cherished pride at home, if our un-
selfishness among nations is all sJe
wish it to be, and ours is holpful
example in the world, then let us give
of our influence and strength, year,
of our aspirations and convictions
to put mankind on little higher
plane, exulting and exalting. with
wars distressing and depressing trag-
edies barred from the stage of right
eous civilization.
There have been a thousand defenses
justly and periodically made; a thou
sand offenses which reason and right
eousness ought to have stayed. Let
US beseech all men to join US in seek
ing the rule under which reason and
Righteousness shall prevail
Standing today on hallowed ground
conscious that all America has halt
ed to share in the tribute of heart
and mind and zoul to this fellow Am
erican, and knowing that the world
/ is noting this expression of the Re-
| public's mindfulness, it is fitting to
| say that his sacrifice, and that of the
| millions dead, shall not be in vain
There must be, there shl1 be, the COM

| cation against armed warfare.
AS we return this POOR clay to its

that this Armistice Day shall mark
the beginning of a new and lasting
era of peace or earth, good will to-

| Our Father who are in heaven, hal

come, Thy will be done on earth, as
it is in heaven. Give US this day oul

temptation, but deliver Us from evil
for Thine is the kingdom, and the pow

co growers: Concerning the ruling re-
gently made by the Federal Reserve
e8oard to the effect that growers drafts
accepted by cooperative marketing as
ssociations should be classed, if the pro-
sceeds are to be used for an agricultural
purpose, as agricultural paper eligible
for rediscount at Federal Reserve
Banks. Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace says that sit is ruling of impor-
tance and should result in making bank
credit more available for farm use.
A statement issued by the Department
of Agriculture shows that the ruling
was made in the case of tobacco mar

method employed by the tobacco grow
ers' association would be found of value
by other cooperative associations, es-

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN, Wis, Nov. %, 1872

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Nov %, 1921.
News from the northern market in.
dicates that little 1921 tobacco is
gathered in by few firms at the same
prices which prevailed during the open
ing month ago. No firm has gone in
to it heavily, and the term picking at
it" covers the movement so far.
The first real lease weather" broke
over the state Thursday last week.
Friday and Saturday the farmers were
busy in their sheds taking down tobac-
co. Those who harvested early and
whose crops have been cured out for
several weeks past are taking down as
much of the hangings as they can han
die with the help available. 1t is early
yet, and in order to avoid heating and
other troubles they are laying down
whatever amounts they feel that they
can strip and bundle while everything
is safe. The majority of the growers
are taking the good advice of stripping
with the utmost care so as to have all
filters, rags and bruised leaf separated.
The cleaner the stripping is done this
year the better the chances for dispos-
ing of both ends of the crop at fair
price.
The movement of the 1920 remnant
continues, and everybody is glad to see
the new interest in this crop developed.
If warmer tone in the demand for the
1920 cased tobacco in the hands of fhe
packers also would be sounded by the
manufacturers, there is no doubt that
many more of the firms sitting with
this goods in their warehouses would
be in the field to look for 1920 tobacco
still held by the growers. With the
experience the packers of Wisconsin
cigar leaf had last year during the buy
ing season and the tightness of the
market since this costly goods entered
into the state of readiness for the man.
ufacturer, they have had to play the
waiting game, and are not in a mood to
rush the buying, neither of the old nor
of the new goods. However, at the
prices at which the growers are now
letting their crops go, they are taking
considerable quantities of it in all Sec
tions.
