Memorial Day in Shephcrdstown.

The Confederate memorial day exer-
ciSes in Shepherdstown last Saturday
were, as usual, interesting and i'm.
preSSive. The procession formed ir
front of the old college building and
marched to the cemetery. with Captain
John Kyd Beckenbaugh as chief mar
shall. The Rohrersville headed the pa
rade. and in line were members Of the
American Legion, Boy Scouts, veterans
in automobiles and others. AT the
cemetery gates the Daughters of tine
Confederacy received the procession
which proceeded to the monument,
where the customary exercises were
held. Taps were sounded on the bu-
gle ty Richard Davis and squad from
the Legion Post fired three rounds over
the graves of the soldiers.
AT the speakers stand John H. Schop-
pert, in charge of the exercises, pre-
scented Rev. ]. H. Haley, who in turn
introduced the speaker of the occasion,
Rev. Harry B. Lee, of Towson, Md. 1t
will tie recalled that Mr.. Lees father,
the Rev. DR.. Harry B. Lee. of Culpeper,
Va, had accepted an invitation to de-
liver The address on memorial day, but
his sudden death two weeks before
brought sadness to his friends instead
of the pleasure they had anticipated
in his expected visit. The son of DR.. !
Lee accepted an invitation to fill his |
fathers place, and he was warmly !
welcomed BY our people. Mr.. Lees |
address was an inspiring and impress |
sive one. He was touched. as was his !
audience, bv the peculiar circumstances
of the occasion. and he seemed to speak .
the words and express the sentiments |
OF his beloved father, whose spirit, we
could imagine was present with The /.
throng of old friends who held him so
dear. Mr.. Lees devotion to the South /
his reverence for her traditions and
his love for her people, were beau
his friends and his fathers friends /.
hocked TO him with congratulations
when he had concluded. A large
crowd was present and enjoyed the
exercises, many persons having come |
here from other places to make theiv
to the beautiful spot where
lie their dead.
The music BY the Rohrersville Band
was greatly enjoyed, its selections be-
ing most appropriate. A choir sang
4 couple of selections very accCptably. !
One of the features Of the occasion
was the reading by Veteran lanes NJ
Hendricks of a poem written many
years ago BY the late Col. VIM. A
Morgan on memorial day. Cap'alrI
II. c. Getzendanner, Col. Morgan's
son-in-law, had caused to be printed a
numter of these poems. which were
given out to the people on Saturday
We reprint it in another column.
Barely dozen old soldiers were ir
the procession this year. They are
dropping from the ranks one BY one,
but it must be comfort 10 them to
know that the people cherish for them
an undying affection. and that after
the last one Of them has crossed over
the river to their eternal rest. their
memory will still be renewed and their
graves forever kept green.

Summer School Begins

Prof. A. D. Kenamond, who has
been so interchangeable in his work for
the Shepherd College summer school,
informs us this morning that the en-
rollment today is 24O. with still more
students coming in. This is by far the
largest summer school ever held here.
and is most encouraging to the local
and State school officers. There was
considerable difficulty in finding homes
Tor such large number Of students.
but all of them have been located. The
summer school sessions open Friday
morning for term of six weeks.

THE bloody riots in Oklahoma last
week, in which many colored persons
lost their lives and hundreds were
burned out Of house and home, were
caused, it is said, by New York negro
who has organized a secret society,
that he calls the "African Blood Broth
erhood" and which is designed to
incite and inHame the negro race.
Sensible co.ored people should have
nothing to do with such disturbers.
They will do much better to follow the
advice of Booker Washington, who con-
tinually urged them to work and so
conduct themselves as to maintain
their own self-respect and the respect
Of the white people among whom they
live.

The great religious bodies of the
United States are taking up the oues.
tion Of disarmament and are pressing
upon President Harding and upor
Congress their earnest demands tha
our government shall take the leac
in ending the appalling expenditures
for creating and maintaining vas
military and naval establishments. The
United Lutheran Church in America
through its executive committee, has
expressed its views, urging that steps
be taken looking to disarmament. The
Church Peace Union of which the ia.
nous Rev. DR.. Merrill, of New York. is
president, recently addressed letters &c
iZo'oOo clergymen, asking them tc
preach a sermon on the duty of re.
ducing armament
We believe that if the Christian PEG.
pie of the United States and of the
world shall unitedly demand of their
government that they disarm, il will
be done. Ninety three per cent of all
taxes and revenues received bv our
government is spent in the mainten-
ance of our army and navy and in
paying the bills incurred by war.
II seems incredible that sensible
people shall further permit such a SIM
ful condition. Disarmament can be-
forced. 1t will not be half so hard
10 oring about as was the abolition of
the liquor saloons.
Lets move on Congress and Presi-
Dent Harding. He at least will meet
us half way.

Oiling the Streets.

There is general satisfaction over the
tact that the principal streets of Shep-
herdstown are now receiving their
summer coat of oil. Under the direc
ton of ]. Strider Moler and with Ser
geant w. w. Winters in charge of the
Workmen the work is being we'll and
quickly done. Princess street has been
oiled from Washington street to the
top of the river hill, and today the men
are working on Main street. A heavy
coating of oil, which contains large
proportion of asphaltum, is being en-
ployed, and on top of this sprinkline
of sand will be placed. 1t looks as if
our officials are giving us a thorough
~ good job-at least they are doing
their level best to this end.

HOME CIRCLE COLUM
KEEP YOUR TROUBLES SACRED


A wife of forty, whose life cannot
have been all sunshine, writes the fol-
lowing advice to married couples;
Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your home. Let not father or mother,
sister or brother, or any third person
even presume to come in between you
two, or to share the joys and sorrows
that belong to just you two alone
With Gods help build your own quiet
world, not allowing your dearest
earthly friend to be the confdant of
aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments of alienation, if
they occur, be healed at once. Never
speak of it outside, but confess to
each other and all will come right.
Never let the morrows sun find you
lat variance. Renew or review the vow
at all temptations 1t will do you both
good And thereby your souls will
grow together, ccmented in that love
which is stronger than death and you
will become as one"

So many marriages go to pieces on
such tiny rocks that it seems pity
with two pilots at the wheel these
rocks cannot be avoided Perhaps the
fact that there are two pilots is where
the trouble comes in
As a rule sensible thinking people
have some little time to consider mat
rimony before they attempt it. But
the mere fact that they are sensible
in other things seems to make them
lose their heads when they contcm-
plate marriage. They have plenty of
evidence on every side of the pitiful
mistakes that have been made yet this
in no way serves as a warning.
Even when a man has so little sense
as 10 contemplate going over Niagara
Falls in a barrel he at least profits by
the mistakes others have made. Not
so in matrmony Each one of us
thinks he viii be the beautiful cxccp-
ton and that life will go on in one
rosy dream of happiness forever and
aye.
Well, il can't he done when you are
dealing with human nature and the
sooner our young people realize that
fact The better
The first year of married life is the
foundation upon which the whole
structure rests. It is period Of adj
| iustmcnt and as a rule there is Just as
much adjusting to be done on one side
as another. It is no time for selfish
ness II IS the time TO learn the likes
and dislikes of the other 1t is the
time to overcome mannerisms and
habits that offend
If mere young people would 90 into
marriage realizing that It depends on
themselves absolutely, whether they
make Il a success or failure, and not
upon some ethereal forces flying about
in the clouds, our divorce courts would
not be SO busy.
