Decoration Day Celebrated.

Owing to the rather chilly
weather the Decoration Day
celebration here Monday after
noon given under auspices of the
local American Legion Post was
not so largely attended.
Curtis Johnson of Rush City,
gave a good talk on enthusiasm.
but it was rather uncomfortable
to be sitting quietly out in the
open for over an hour listening
to a speech. However he put
lots of enthusiasm into his talk
and brought home the lesson of
service to ones community
getting from it just what you
put into it. Much Of his talk
was the same as that which he
delivered here about two years
ago and was therefore not new
TO large part of the audience.
He touched briefly on the mean
ing and purpose Of the day
Memorial day.
Mr.. Johnson said there are
five principal American charac-
teristics which played a large
part in the winning Of the World
War. They are: Enthusiasm.

In connection with the entire plan,
the following resolution was today
presented TO Chairman Julius Kahn.
OF the Military Affairs COMMITTEE, by
Truxton Besle, one OF the prime
movers in the project:
I'VE are beginning to realize that
our great material achievements are
not our sole measure OF ciyilizatio
to realize that civilization Is more a
matter OF the heart than OF the head,
and that sympathy Is the raw ma
terial from which IL II made. III the
monument, the solemn rites, and the
burial place. proposed In Mr.. Fish's
resolution will create and keep vivid
our sense OF the sufferings' OF others.
IL will subserve a great public use and
a thousand perhaps indirect but new
ertheless beneficial effects will come
from this one cause. The test of real
progress Is the rate by which our
sympathy for our fellow citizens Is
strengthening and IL Is In such ways
as the resolution suggests that the
soul OF goodness in things evil may
come from the sufferings OF the
frightful war.
"If the carrying out OF the resolu-
tion were only an expression or ma
tionaI sympathy for the families OF
the unidentified soldiers think IL
would be justified. Those who were
Obliged to endure the long period or
agony before learning the fate OF
their relatives in the army in France
suffered more than any OF the others
who were grief stricken with losses
In the war. Time which usually as
suages the grief of most, only kept
theirs more keen. II IL human TO be-
lieve what we fervently wish
'"Trifes often suffice to revive our
hopes, and 1t 10 painful for US to con-
template the strain under which many
American families were kept when
their hopes were constantly revived
that their loved ones would return 10
the Preside and again occupy the va
cant chair. only in the end to have
the sickening conviction driven upon
them that they were lying In a Tor
eign land in a unmarked grave.
unlike many vain-glorious memo
rails seen both in Europe and In this
country which only tend to revive In
us the dormant instincts of the saw
age and act as a stimulus to our fight
ing propensities, this monument viii
arouse sentiments of an entirely diff
ferent kind: believe ii would be
we'll worth the public money expended
upon it,"

and does not look a day older than
her fourteen years. Instead of speed

The Best Cough Syrup
is Homemade.
Here's an easy way to save So, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard Of this we'll
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have You ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of a
place in your home.
Into pint bottle, pour 21a ounces
of Pinex; then add plain graduated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead OF sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready made for three times
its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this home made remedy conquers .
cough-usually in "A hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for genera
tions for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2ih ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

PAY BILL FIGHT
WILL CONTINUE:
Federal Employees, Not 0iscour-
aged by Setback, Organize
To Press Campaign.

Danger was seen today in the de-
lay OF action by Congress on re-
classification through the announce,
ment yesterday by Congressman
Lehlbach that his committee In the
House on reforms ia the Civil Ser
vice would have no hearing ON his
bill during the present short SEES
sion.
n. G. l.. DROP HURTS BILL.
Extensive speculation was heard in
the Government departments this
morning and many fear that the fall
ing cost of living will have an ad-
verse influence on the bill. IL Is not
believed that Redistribution will now
come before Congress before next
fall at the earliest. In the mean
time IL prices continue to tumble as
they have In the past several months,
II is held that IL Will ofrer an argu-
ment for Congress to refuse the sal
AIRY increases asked for on the
grounds that the high cost of living
emergency no longer exists.
The joint conference on reclassi-
ication and other organizations
working for pay revision. while not
denying that this element may
jeopardize their chances, hold to the
argument that even before high liv-
ing costs, the Government employees
salary was too low to meet the liv-
Ing expenses of normal times.
WILL KEEP UP FIGHT.
Redistribution workers, in view
of delay of action on the bill, are
shaping their plans accordingly and
do n sinUla
ment in their activity from now on
until the bill becomes law. The
thorough organization, which the
employees and others have formed in
the interests of reclassification. will
continue to function on an inten-
sive scale. Postponement OF hear
lngs on the bill will allow more
time to consider various phases of
reclassification to be offered as re-
visions of the Lehlbach bill.
By the creation of a permanent
joint legislative council yesterday
afternoon by labor organizations the
final link of the national organiza-
ton to boost Redistribution was COM
pleted. When the plans of the coun-
ell are finished 1t is expected that the
Lehlbach bill in the form finally
agreed upon by the members will
