M EMORIAl DAY

There's a spirit of Patriotism,
Echoing through the air;
As Memorial Day approaches,
With its flowers Of fragrance rare,
In our dreams we see the soldiers,
Strong of figure, fair of face;
As he marched in open battle,
Fearlessly to fill his place.
There was need for fiercest conflict,
Human lives in awful Woe:
Called our brave ones 70 their rescue,
They were willing glad to go.
1t was in the early sixties,
That our fathers without fear,
Took the musket and the bayonet,
And went forth to Civil war.
For they felt the nation called them,
Felt the blackmen's pressing need;
Twas a question of human suffering,
And not one of gain or greed.
~-T
Then there came another conflict,
All the nations rem in twain;
SO they called our boys to battle,
World Democracy to gain.
Sent them forth to face the bullets,
And the deadly German gun;
Sent them forth to win us victory,
And destroy the cruel Hun.
Far across the troubled waters,
Went our boys mid submarine;
Went to face a foe deadly,
Than the cannon or machine.
Gas and shell and shrapnel
Waited for them everywhere;
And the fields we're strewn with bodies
OF our boys so young and fair.
Yes! they won for us the victory,
And the enemies host did yield;
Dul llty ~SlllChtlltu ny Ilt JIlOuSduuS
Far away On flanders field.
Oh, the memories of that service,
Our fair land can ne'er forget;
After years have passed to centuries
They will linger with us yet.
Mid the peoples over yonder
Some may place a garland, too;
May its fragrance rare be blended
With our own Red, White and Blue
Oh Thou; God of all the nations,
Clothe our land with arms of peace
May our hills not ring with battle,
May our sisters conflict cease.
Precious blossoms. how We love them
We will give our first and best
To the living soldiers with us,
Hopeful days of peace and rest.

Our late reports on the general crop
conditions in Montana show a big inn
provement over two or three weeks
ago. The recent rains have been Of
great benefit to the dry districts. On
several occasions during the past week
there we're hard freezes throughout the
wheat, but barley and oats in some
places have been frozen. We believe,
however, that only small damage has
been done to the grain crops, but fruit
and vegetables have undoubtedly been
hurt.
The seeding Of barley and oats con.
tinues in the northwest districts, as it
has been delayed because of wet and
cold weather. Corn planting is under
way in South Dakota and Minnesota.
The weather has been too cold for early
planted corn, and it is making slow
Roadway. A large acreage Of potatoes
is predicted. The hay crop, with the
exceptions of a few localities, is good.
There is plenty of farm labor at nearly
all points. Wages have declined and
men can now be hired from $500 to
$4,000 a month. We have never seen
a season when farmers have taken so
little interest in fax. During the war
prices we're extremely high. Since that
time there has been a continual de-
cline, until today they seem very low

that some early sown fax in Mime
sofa and South Dakota has been dam.

The wayslde shrine. that silent in
vitation to worship frequently met
with elong the highways and byways
of Europe, is a rare sight In this cOun-
try. Such monuments of piety seem
somehow out Of place in an American
landscape. but we have learned much
from the contacts of the great war,
and in years to come the simple shrine
may seem a natural memorial to a
hero who fell on Flanders field or
French hillside. One OF the few
shrines erected here was put in place
not long ago neal Philadelphia, as
a tribute to the memory Of United
States soldiers who gave up their
lives in France. A son had been killed
in the war, and his parents set up
this remembrance Of him on their eS-
tate, but near the highrOad within
sight OF all passers-by. The Church
News describes the shrine and it's
setting in a recent issue. 1t stands
"tn a charming sylvan nook formed by
a high, heavily wooded hill" Beside
it, we read, flows a murmuring brook,
symbol OF the eternal continuity Of
life. Surrounding IL are evergreen
trees, and shrubs typlfying the unre-
uniting care Of God for his creatures.
In front. but a few PAGES away, runs
Valley Green road, typifying the high
ways Of life, prepared by saints and
martyrs and heroes who have toiled
and died that we might live and walk
securely In our pilgrimage to the Un-
seen City Of God" In Its general con-
ception and design the shrine Is said
to be similar to the shrines so often
seen by our soldiers in France, and
always viewed with respect by them"

A COUPLE O. RHYMES
DAY, 1921

BY Riley Ryck
Today We pause to drop a rose
CPerchance, a tear
Upon the earthly bed OF those
Who slumber here
And rest and wait the coming dawn.
\ little things it seems; and yet
How shall we say
lWho have not learned how to forget
Nor ever may)
The things our full hearts dwell upon?
our fallen %comrdates far away
In other lands,
Where peoples nod and grasses sway
And loving hands
No floral tribute may bestow.
All, can you know the pledge we make
This solemn day?
To do our part hat one need take
The %grieyous way
You trod that Truth should live, and
Right.
But. hear us, Should it ever be
Our lot to take
The cross of war again for Liberty,
May we not break
The faith with which you fought the
fight.

TRACES COURSE
OF BULLET SHOT
AT VICKSBURG

Kelso, Wash. - P. J Knapp, a
Civil war veteran, after IS years,
has traced the course of bullet he
fired at the siege of Vicksburg.
Some time ago Mr.. Knapp read
a news dispatch saying that w V.
Meadows. a confederate veteran of
Lanott, Ala. had coughed up a bull
let which was shot into his eye at
Vicksburg. Mr. Meadows, the &C
count said, was a member OF the
37th Alabama regiment, and MIR.
Knapp recalled an incident at the
siege, when he and three other
members of the 18th Iowa Volun-
teers were called upon to silence a
confederate sharpshooter who was
firing through a small hole IN a
sheet of boiler plate.
After Me- Knapp fired, the sharp
shooters shots were discontinued,
and it was surmised that he had
been hit in the eye
When Mr. Knapp wrote to Mr..
Meadows, the latter said that he
was the man behind the boiler
plate and that the bullet entered
his right eye. Mr.. Knapp received
q photograph of the bullet and OF
Mr.. Meadows. The two veterans
have enjoyed a considerable cor
respondence over the incident

New York. - Short skIrta and

ship on dealers in souvenir picture

the mails at this time of the year
from summer resorts along the At
lantic coast
Previous to the advent of the
afeFenamed styles, stocks of these
cards showing beaches and cool
walks were ordered in advance in
lots numbering in tens Of thou
sands. As the beaches did not
change, and as a crowd was crowd
regardless of whether it was this
years crowd or last. the cards
could be sold Just the same.
Now, however, all is changed A
picture showing a beach or a board

as ancient stun.
