Early this morning the man from

He threw in his line and felt some

line.
"Some CATCH" he said
From his pocket he drew forth a

VETERANSOF
BYCONE WARS
I MARCH ASONE
Brownsville Does Honor to
Heroes Who Paid Su-
preme Sacrifice

The Gray and the Blue merged in.
to khaki; the North and the South
made into one; the Stars and Bars alb.
sorbed in the Stars and Stripes
this seemed to be the spirit Of Mem
orial Day exercises held yesterday
morning, when veterans of the Civil
War who fought opposite each other
veterans Of the Spanish
War; and the veterans of the World
War marched side by side down to
the cemeteries to pay honors to their
comrades who paid the supreme sac
rifice for their country.
Troop ID of the Faurth Cavalry,
led by Captain w. G. Ingram. and
Lieut.. Z. Cox, with Fourth Cavalry
Band were in the lead of the process
sion while the veterans Of the various
wars followed in military formation.
Former colonels, majors, captains
ieutenants. sergennts, corporals,
privates, sailors, cavalrymen, infan-
trymen, artillerymen, and aviators
al formed as one company and
marched to the cemeteries.
The people at the cemetery fell in
70 deep silence while taps were
sounded and volleys fired over the
graves marked with flags. The pro
cession then marched to the Dittmaa
thoater where program of singing
and speaking was held.
Human life as the price of peace
was emphasized by Rev. W. Howard
Frame, veteran Of the Spanish-A.
merican war, who delivered the adj
dress of the morning. Rev. Frame
spoke of the wars this country had
been through and always. ne said,
one fact stood out from all ef-e;
that was that the billions of dollars
spent in these wars, the burdens as
sumed, the tremendous efforts put
forth, sunk into inslgnificance when
compared to the loss Of human life
occasioned by the tragedy of war"
The spirit OF Memorial Day was set
forth by Rev. Frame in stanza OF
poetry with which he concluded hi
talk:
Long may we keep their memories
dear;
Let every heart their deeds revere,
For US they fought and died
And those living, pass away,
Let sons and grandsons keen the day.
And deck their graves with pride.
God Of the stars that shine above
Hear from our hearts this prayer
Grant that the stars in their service
flags
May shine as the stars up there.
The services at the theater opened
with the singing Of America by the
entire gathering, following wIicn

Constructive Criticism

Admiral Sims, who drew a rep
rimand some 10 or II years ago.
and again recently because of ILL.,
advised remarks, took occasion in a
Fourth of July address to defend
the critics in the army and navy
whose utterances serve to arouse
the public to a realization of condi-
tions of which they are in igno-
rance,
1t is recalled that Admiral Sims
rendered a public service some
years ago when he stated frankly
that the United States navy was a
joke and reproach to a frst-class
nation.
The exposure made by Admiral
Sims was not in line with the gag
tactics in vogue in the army and
navy. Nevertheless. he realized the
peril of great country with an in
adequate navy and whose people
were in ignorance of their defense
lessness.
Other powers, of course, were
fully informed of our situation. 1t
was in those days that Japan adopt
ed an arbitrary attitude toward the
United States and virtually COM
PEELED this country to make conces-
sions which it could not at that
time refuse.
1t is not a bad idea for a people
to be fully informed regarding their
army and navy. Strangely enough,
the United States is the only coun-
try that prevents its officials from
making constructive criticism.
England, with the greatest navy In
the world. and with no intention of
permitting any other nation to out
rank her, encourages the freest ex-
preston and criticism from her of
ficials. Not infrequently a scandal
develops, but always the discussion
is helpful and the weakness COM
planned of is promptly remedied.
1t is folly to conceal actual con-
ditions from the public when the
espionage system of Europe ena-
bles every other power on the globe
to come into full possession of all
the Observation-Disclosures.

You paid good money for her; if
you didn't the note will come due

to make a pet of her and you can
do much toward making her a

winds few weeks before she brings
forth the litter. Some nice slops
from the kitchen, some vegetables
and anything green that you have
around the place will be relished

and watering place so she will have
to come out and exercise every day
when the weather is ANYTHING like
decent. Remember this-she eats
for herself and a whole family of
youngsters now and she needs plen-
ty of good feed Warm slop when
the nights have been cold won't
hurt her. and she will soon learn
that she has landed among human
beings that care for their dumb ami
mails, and every mite of this care
will be doubly repaid when she lays
down in that bed and produces you
a crop of pigs. Don't expect a
large litter of strong, smooth pigs
unless you give the mother plenty
of feed and and some attention
during these days of CESSATION. You
can't afford not to do it. You need
these young porkers made fat and
sleek for your next falls meat and

furnish her with a hog parlor"
that will make her worth twice what

Cows Pay: Cotton May Not

s. w. Patrick, an humble, hard
working farmer of Wyatte, Miss,
is not depending upon the cotton
crop for cash. He has a small herd
of good dairy cattle, and although
an amateur dairyman, he is making
good. He owns a small farm which
is only fairly fertile, but upon which
he has has always made a substan-
tial living. From the dairy every
week he receives a check which
more than meets his living ex-
penses. With the fertilizer from
the barnyard Mr.. P Patrick is enrich
ing his soil. He has only a small
part of his farm in cotton. He is
not so interested in this crop now,

The Farmers

Thirty million of the population
of the United States depend on the
farm for a livelihood.
The purchasing power of such a
population is enormous. AT dol
lar a day each it would amount to
over $4,000. 100000 a year that
the farmers spend. Think of it. 1t
is almost bewildering.
If the farmer-who feeds us all
can not buy, depression comes to
all. That is what has happened.
In the south the cotton crop was
short and the price was paralyzing;
in the west millions were lost on
the farms. So the farmers of the
country got in debt and their earn
ing must go to iQuidate the debts
of the past.
This sad experience should ad-
monish the farmers of the state of
Mississippi not to put all their eggs
in one basket-a single crop. 1t
should teach them to diversity to
the limit For history always re-
peats itself; just as it has been
doing-lean and fat years-ever
since Joseph operated down in
Egypt. Kinds County Gazette.
