We publish this week one of
the sweetest poetic flowers which
ever sprung from the soil of
Flanders Field. " This was writ
ten by Mr.. II. Il. O'Neal, Of the
Dickson Brothers Clothing Co. of
Tacoma. Mr.. O'Neal is saturat-
ed with the "divine poetic fuid'
and should let more of his liter
airy effusions see the light of
published publicity" that many
might enjoy the privilege that is
only permitted now to few Of
his closest friends.
At Peace in Flanders Field:
Sleep on we men in Flanders
Field;
We took your torch and held
it high;
The bitter fight we carried
through,
Our task as yours, to win or
die.
The cause is won for which we
fought,
Peace reigns where then the
earth was red;
Rest We content, you are
avenged,
You who are numbered with
the dead,
In Flanders Field.
Where then the din of battle
flared,
And legions fought mid fiery
He'll
Now rests supreme, lasting
peace;
A peace for thee, brave hearts
as well:
Again red peoples grow and
bloom
And larks wing joyous in the
sky;
Again we say, rest on We brave;
The ground is sacred where you
lie,
In Flanders Field.

FEDERATED COMMUNITY
SUNDAY SCHOOL

Snowhakes on a Sunday morn
ing may scare some folks away
fro m Sunday school, but not
every body. There were 1874
present by the class rolls, and
considering the slippery roads
that is a good record.
The True Blues had q of their
members present but haven It
managed to have all 90 present
at one session.
Glass 10 calls themselves the
Wide Awakes, so much is expect
ed of these young ladies who have
Mrs. l.. c. Beall, ST., as their
teacher.
The P. C's. surprised one of
their members on her birthday,
and had a jolly time wishing
Miss Hutchinson many happy re-
turns of the day, one day last
week.
Three classes of boys that are
well worth watching as they
forge ahead, are the Knights of
Honor with Mrs. Gorsuch as their
teacher; the Rustlers under Mrs.
Johns direction, and the class of
Loyal Fellows who have Mr..
Blekkimk. Just ask some of these
boys what their class is doing for
the Sunday school and you'll not
have asked in vain.
Did the boys and girls tie on
attendance last Sunday? Most
of the girls were there and many
of the boys, but the boys who
were present must train their re.

vAsHoN HIGH SCHOOL

This week successfully ends the
serving of hot lunches. During
the winter the hot lunches have
been very great help but with
the coming of spring they no
longer seem necessity and so
will be discontinued after this
week. Many thanks are due to
Miss David for her careful man.

The domestic science class have
been divided into sides. Last week
one side served a delightful lunch
con to the other side. The tables
were set in the basement with
covers for eight. Miss David and
Mr.. Kucera We're the honor guests
On Tuesday of this week the posi-,
tons We're received and the guests
of the former luncheon served the
cooks.
Next week will be our annual
spring vacation. We enjoy school
but if there's one thing we en-.
joy more it's vacation. We all
expect to come back with enough
pep and energy to keep us busy
the rest of the year.
Last Friday was Campus Day
and as it was rather cold, every
one worked in order to keep
warm, and so great deal was
accomplished. Four fellows were
picked as captains, and each one
selected his gang. There was one
gang to scrape the diamond, one
to run the wheel-barrow, one to
put up the back stop, and another
to do general work around the
field, such as filing up holes, dig.
ging out stumps and rocks. The
scraping gang took hoes and cut
out all the grass inside of the
diamond.

"LEGIONAIRE" NAME OF TOWN
Arkansas Doushboys Settle on Adjoin-
ing Tracts in Oklahoma and Form
2,5o0-Acre Colony.

They are beating their swords into
plowshares is the biblical way Of say
ing that veterans of the World war are
going back to the farm.
In Arkansas, on a 2,5OO-acre tract,
"colony" of sixteen former service men
descended from Tulsa, Okla, and set
tied on adjoining quarter-sectfoIs or
land. All of them were members or
the Joe Carson post of the American
Legion and they plan to establish a
trading center and town under the
name "Legionaire.'
The doughboy colony is in Scott
county. Most of the settlers will be
able to call the land their own in sew
en- months as the state allows TWO
wears of war service to count on the
residence requirement.
Some of the men will spend the Win
ter on their land, clearing timber
building, hunting and trapping. 1t is
estimated that 100 service men of Tui-
sa ultimately will settle on government
land.

"Another fault that is fast disap-

BANNING THE nRAss BAND

From the St. Louis Post st-Dispatch.
 Wilbur Glenn voliva, overseer of Zion, is going too far when he bans baseball from the sacred precincts of Zion City, but barring brass bands Is not so bad The worst that can be said is that in prescribing all aggregations of tooters he is lacking in discrimination.
 While we do not as a rule agree with the restrictions which Mir. voliva are bound to admit that some brass bands are calculated to disturb the peace of any town. We would not feel like going all the way with Brother voliva and characterizing them as crimes, but it Is within the bounds of moderation to say that some brass bands are at least mis- demeanors.
 Zion village, it may be assumed has that kind of bands. If so, we can understand how their blare mi ght
 
 templation which is the zionists' chief activity. It is conceivable. as the overseer seems to suspect, that Satan might utilize the village band to dis seminate hellish dissonance. aimed at the destruction of the heavenly har- monies which are cultivated with great assiduity at Zion City.
 Brother voliva's lack of discrimi- nation Is not confined to brass bands. It Is Fundamental to the voliva sys- tenn. Because some brass bands are bad all brass bands are bad. Be- cause some things deserve condem- nation all things are under condem- nation. That Is the weakness and the absurdity of the sort of censorious- ness that thrives at Zion City and some other places.

srEvENsoN,s APPEARANCE

From the New York Times.
 In turning from these juvenile pro- auctions of Robert Louis Stevenson 1t may be of interest to touch upon the excellent introductions of Lloyd Os bourne, which reveal many new facts about the author.
 It was in 1876 at Greg, France, that osburne first saw his future step father. and at first he was frightened by the piratical appearance of the writer. Stevenson seemed like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood attack Isobel. Lloyds little sister. It was not long before he understood the kindliness of Stevenson, however.
 In regard to Stevenson's peculiar has much to say that throws a par ticularly pathetic light on the writer. Stevenson was extremely poor when he was young, and his rare cheeks meant freedom from the dead influ- ence of his home. Therefore, he spent as little as possible on clothes. He wore flannel shirts to save wash ing, and his reduced wardrobe en- abled him to carry all his belongings in small valise. He could lodge in the cheapest quarters and could avoid tips and cab fares. In the years of chronic invalidism clothes had small interest for him. For months at a time he could not wear coat, be- cause the raising of his arms would bring on hemmorrhage. It was im- possible to have his hair cut because it was at the risk of catching cold One cannot but comment at the brav- cry and splendid qualities of a soul that could go on steadily writing and remaining cheerful under such condi- tions

Added Cotton Value
 to Be Shared By All

NNHHAT the added value of cot WV ton means to the south is told in a news item from Atlanta, which says:
 It means, of course, that the
 farmer can pay off his obiiga-
 tions to the small merchants, the
 merchant can clear up his debts.
 the city bank can open new lines
 of credit to larger merchants.
 larger merchants can make
 broader sales preparations and
 the wheels of industry will begin
 to spin.
 Money derived from cotton does not benefit producers only, but wire mills, implement makers, tractor and automobile plants, coffee and sugar mills, clothing and hat mak- CTS, coal mines and blast furnaces. That was always the case, but it has required generations to bring city and country into a mutual un- derstanding of very plain fact.
