SOUTH HoNoRs ITS HEROES.

The southern half Of our country today celebrates
Memorial Gay. 1t pays equally loving tribute to the
memories Of the men in blue and gray whose graves
III the cemeteries through the south and the
in khaki who died in the Spanish war and the
world in France.
Days aside for ceremonies in honor of the
dead date back almost as far as history itself but
Memorial day-or confederate Memorial day
those in the southern states know it-had its origin
IN the south. shortly after the close of the Civil
war.
Two years after the war a New York paper print
cd a paragraph stating that "the women OF Col
umbus. Miss. have shown themselves impartial IN
their offerings made to the memory OF the dead.
They strewed flowers alike on the graves Of the
Confederate and OF the National soldiers It was
these few words that inspired Miles Finch
70 write his famous poem, The Blue and the
Gray"
About this time the OF Winchester Va,
organized memorial association and began the
work reinterrlng the soldiers whose graves had
been scattered over fields and abandoned church
yards. soon memorial associations sprung up all
over the south. in Alabama, Florida. Georgia.
Mississippi North and South Carolina LOUISIANA
and Tennessee.
And then the north thrilled with tenderness and
the Memorial day spirit spread rapidly. In 1858.
Cen John A. Logan. commander-in in-chief Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. issued an order that
on Siay 80 OF that year every post should engage
in htting ceremonies and scatter tokens of respect
over the resting places OF their comrades in
Commenting on Memorial day, Chauncey NJ Depev.
in an address IN the Metropolitan opera house in
New York on May 80. 1879. said
When the war was over in the south. where
under warmer skies and with poetic tenn
peraments symbols and embems better
1erstood than in the practical north. the
widows. mothers. and the children OF the Con-
federate dead went out and strewed their
graves with flowers; at many places the women
scattered them imT partially. also. over the
known and unmarked resting places OF the
Union soldiers
"As the OF this touching tribute fash
ed over the north 60 reused as nothing else
could have done. national amty and love and
aUayvd sectional animosity and passion. Thus.
OF the sorrows common alike north and
south came this beautiful custom"
In the years that followed the first strewing of
flowers. state legislatures took up the matter AZ
the present time Memorial day Is celebrated gen.
irally through the south April IS. and through
the north and west May So North and South
Carolina celebrate May 10. Alabama was the
first state 20 officially celebrate Memorial day oa
April 2s 1855. and New York the nrst state TO de-

THE TRUE CRITIC.

There is one critic which a man
should heed
And strive with all his strength to
satisfy;
Whether it be in big or little deed.
One sits in judgment with
watchful eye.
One voice there is which flatters
not for gain
Nor censureS honest effort as a
pose.
One voice which never speaks to
cause us pain,
Nor seeks to tell the world how
much it knows.
Yet if it tells US we have done our
best,
Have kept the faith and labored
to be true,
We can lie down at night in peace
to rest
Nor mind what others say or
think or do.
If but this eye which reads our in
most thought
see no ulSnOnOT IN the SldnQ we
take,
If but this voice can praise the fight
we've fought.
We need not heed the storm that
critics make.
If we but live with Conscience as
our guide,
We rob the colder critics Of their
sting;
If bu; that voice of US can speak in
pride,
We need not heed the barbs which
others fling.
II it can say we've truly done our
best,
And call our motives worthy,
though we fail,
we then can turn our faces to the
west.
Scorning the lesser critics who as
sail.

TARIFF WARS.

The Of miracles Is not past: Here's a group
Of manufacturers actually petitionins congress to
reduce the tariff
The tariff imported automobiles and motor
trucks is too high and should be reduced from as
to 80 percent, the petition congress from
foreign trade committee OF the National Automobile
chamber OF commerce. representing American auto
makers.
The British empire has retaliated against our
high auto tariff by building tariff walls against
american a British entering Canada for
instance, is favored by lower tariff rate than an
American
It appears that If going to build up tariffs
against foreign goods. the sort of barriers
going to be erected against American goods ex-
ported to foreign markets That's the little joker in

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
THE WISE PRINCE.

THE WISE PRINCE.
When various princes and princess
es found.
Because of unsettled conditions,
That within a few weeks they would
have to look round
And get themselves other posi-
tions,
The future appeared rather vividly
blue
And they viewed it with bitter
misgiving.
For there wasn't a one Of the whole
royal crew
That knew how to work for his
living.
And now there are some of them
carrying trays,
And some OF them bUtling or
chauffing,
Which trades. We are told. through
out Europe, these days
Are paid little better than loafing,
And all OF them wish they some ef-
fort had made.
In the days when their prospects
seemed sunny
To study some handy profession or
trade
Which would bring 'em a little
more money.
Not so the young heir to the King
dom Of Spain,
Should his parents get mad and
disown him,
Or his subjects get sick of monarch
ial reign
And in the near future dethrone
him,
He won't have to dig with his pick
in a ditch
Like everyday commonplace toll
ers;
He'll merely set back and get rapid
ly rich
BY selling his capons and broilers.
He's learned to raise poultry and
not the fluff kind
With which certain Kings raise
the dickens:
The sort that this bird has now got
on his mind
Are feathered and edible chickens.
He may keep his throne-and again
he may not
But in case any trouble COM
mences,
With all of the eggs and the chick
ems he's got.
He won't need to cut down ex-
penses!

JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST

There's a certain thrill OF pleasure
in a battle fought and won,
And it's good to hear men cheering
for some splendid thing you've
done;
There is real satisfaction when a bus
mess deal you've made,
And there's pride and joy in count
ing up the profit that it paid;
But the thrill that goes the deepest
and is laden with delight,
Is the welcome Of your home folks
when you're getting home at
night.
Out beyond the home is laughter of
a certain sort, I know,
And it's good TO have the friendship
OF the men who come and go:
1t is good 10 win their praises and
it's fine TO have them cheer.
But they cannot fill the places of the
children waiting near;
And the sweetest satisfaction, when
all else has taken flight.
Is the welcome Of your own folks
when you're getting home at
night.
Just TO have them glad to see you
that's the answer to ii all
Glad to see you coming homeward
when the shades of evening fall,
Fond of you, whatever happens.
proud to spend their lives with
you,
Never thinking OF your failures
pleased with everything you do;
Oh, I don't know how TO say It but
there is no thrill that's quite
The equal of that welcome, when
you're getting home at night.

AWARD CONTRACT
 ON MILK STATION

A frame structure to house the , dairy station proposed by the CO., operative dairyman will be erected im- mediately by the Jones Milling Com pany near it's plant east of the rail- road. R. l.. Folts, chairman, and Charles Lienhart, secretary of the CO., operative association, yesterday closed the contract for the building. Ma chinery will be received before it is completed, orders having been placed some time ago by the Terry Dairy Company of Little Rock. Equipment for the station will include a large storage tank, sterllizer, pasteurizer, boiler and other apparatus required for the sanitary and quick handling of milk
 MT. Folts and MT. Lienhart think that everything will be completed within 30 days. The house will be completed within three weeks, and not more than one week required for in- stalling the machinery.
 Farmers who intend to make ship ments should at once get milk cans or clean up those already on hand. MT. Folts stressed the necessity for this and is highly anxious that the co-operators be fully ready when the station is completed. The association will also welcome new members at any time as the station and equipment IS for the use of all who wish to make shipments of milk.
 The two officers of the association and the dairy extension committee of the Commercial Club, composed of County Agent T. M. Williams, o. S. Russ and Mir. Lienhart, deserve great credit for the manner in which dairy development has been pushed and kept before farmers residing near Conway. The point has now been reached where shipments can be start ed in small way, subject to enlarge ment as more citizens become interest. ed in the industry.
