DECORATION EXERCISES

The editor had not the privilege of
attending the local Decoration Day
exercises, but he is reliably informed
that they were of the most interest
ing and appropriate character. The
recitations, drills, etc., are said to
have been very fine all the way
through and the address by Rev.
A. t. Camburn was both eloquent,
feeling and inspiring. The memorial
exercises at the cemetery were car
ried out at the grave of the late Jos.
Buffum, veteran of the Civil War.
We want, at this time, also to COM
-pliment the Clio Band on its appear
ance and on the music rendered on
this occasion. 1t is source of great
satisfaction to all citizens of Clio,
we are sure, to have the band resume
operation and it is to be hoped that
it will be afforded every possible aid.
Robert jewell is at present leading
the band and we want to say that he
is doing first-class work and with his
fellow bandmen is entitled to public
thanks. DR.. P. E. White was elected
chairman and Mrs. Hazel LaBar Sec
retar of the committe which will have
charge of next years program.
Hugh Mccormick, chairman of the
1921 committee, and who IS entitled
to thanks for the good work he did in
arranging for this years excellent
program, requests the other members
of the committee to meet at McCor-
mick & Conlee's store Saturday after
noon, June IL, at 800 o'clock to close
up their work for the year.

AT the very outset of running their

from the business and secure the val

Hail and Farewell!

llc ubIC lItQStID
For the Launched battleship
west Virginia it is hail and farewell!
Unless the craftsmanship of the
world is bankrupt, the Stars and
Stripes will never fly over her. Those
eight great siXteen-inch rifles will
never roar from her gunpits and her
fourteen fivc-nch rifles will never
speak in the argument or kings or
the stern and grim debate of peo-
pies.
Her $4,000 horsepower will never
drive her on the gray-green and open
lanes Of the deep seas. That hard
she'll of armor, the thickest and
toughest ever rifted on a battleship,
will never meet the shock of high
explosive or stop a plunging shell.
The West Virginia will know no
port save and except the port of her
birth and fashioning. Never for her
will the outbound streamers snap or
far ports call across the seven seas.
Not for her steel lines the grim war
paint and not for her masthead the
joy of the home-bound pcnnant.
That terrible beauty that clothes
battleship is to be destroyed. The
millions that have gone into her
steel ribs, her splendid engines and
into her. naked and shining decks
are lost. Today she might be the
most perfect and powerful agent of
destruction riding on water. Tomor-

BRAND MAKES FACTS IMPRESS
SIVE

Premier BRAND, so far as this
country is concerned, did little more
by his eloquent presentation of the
case of France than impress on us
that of which we were previously in
formed. France fears Germany, she
apprehends as a possible result of
trade and political relations between
Germany and Russia that the latter
may be drawn into the situation.
Such is her apprehension that, not
withstanding her people are thrifty
and see the handicap of large army
in competition with countries which
are relieved of that burden, she feels
it to be a matter of necessity. When
BRAND declares: IF there Is a coun-
try that wants peace with all their
hearts, believing it with her entire
faith, that country is France" we
believe he speaks sincerely. 1t is in
conceivable that a country so intelli-
gent and so Sorely injured by war
should again seek war. But they
have to deal with people, large and
influential number of whom are being
taught that war is a creation of God
and that they are Gods elect. 1t is
inevitable that they seek to protect
themselves. Nor is it any reflection
on England or America that she
would desire an alliance to assist her.
Because England gave heroically to
her assistance is not assurance this
would be done again, nor is there as
surance that America would come to
the rescue. There is great likelihood
this would be done, but France feels
that this will not warrant her in ne
glecting proper precautions, and it is
not to be inferred that she is wGrlille
because of so doing. She, herself. will
probably he the greatest sufferer
from the burden Of a large army.
