THE LONG LONG TRAIL.

Up to four years ago Memorial Day
had deteriorated from it's original
purpose into little more than day off.
In 1917 q change began to be noted.
Over the Goth OF May brooded an air Of
suspense, Of foreboding, for America
had embarked on the high emprise OF
war, and none could say how much
blood might be she'd before the ami
versary came again. Nineteen e,gh-
teen saw that spirit intensified; close
at hand came the real days OF our
ordeal by fire on the heels Of Chateau
Thierry, and two years ago the full
toll of nearly a hundred thousand
lives had been taken. The army of
1918 is home now, ready and willing,
to bestow on its departed comrades
whatever need Of devotion is fitting
and proper.
The American Legion, an organiza-
tion representing the soldiers Of Che
great war-as does the G. A. r. the
boys of '61-is mobilizing for the.
greatest day in its calendar year
Memorial Day, 1921. On that day
there will sound through the streets of
every town and village in the United
States the measured tramp of columns
of soldiers marching to honor the dead.
of all Of Americas wars. There will
be in these columns the blue and gray
Of Gettysburg, the khaki of San Juan
Hill and the olive drab that swept
the Argonne. 1t will be a day when
the flag Of America wSll fly fromsthe
roof of mansion and hovel from coast
to coast, over far parade grounds in the
Philippines and the battered plains OF
France where more than fifty thousand
Yanks still rest
For May 30ths above all will be day
of remembrance of the men who did
not come back from over there. Paris
Post of The American Legion sthissyear, !
as last, will hold memorial services in
every American cemetery in France,
and the graves of those who sleep far
from the beaten track as well, viii have
their Wreaths and flags. In Great
Britain, Belgium and Italy, wherever
American soldiers and sailors lie, their
graves will be<honored by men of the
Legion.
And this year, the figures show,
there will be the graves, not only Of the
'22,0O0 returned soldier dead to be
ihonored in America, but the. graves
Of the 5000 ex-service men who have
died here at home since last Memorial
Day, many Of them in our government
hospitals. The equivalent of practi-1
cally one full division will answer the
roll call and enter 'the long, long
trail'' each year, according to the
estimate Of the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance. One thousand of our hero;
dead who rest in France are to come;
home the week before Memorial Day,
when q transport will bring its cargo Of
/ flag -draped caskets to the pier at
sf1ODOKen. #e
For some Of us this Memorial Day
of 1921 will hold a sacredness that no
anniversary that has gone before could
hope to hold. For others it will be
Just another holiday another day off.
Memorial Day, however, is not all for
the dead. It is the day on which we.
resolve in our hearts not only to revere
their memory but to be true to The
ideals for which they died. What they
died for is what we live for7God,
Country, and Comrades.

Here is A Kicker.

Iron County Register-It seems
that our butcher and baker are the
only people who have not found out
that there has been a reduction in
in prices. I was in st. Louis last
week and a friend with whom ]
stopped told me that he was buying
every day and had been for a month
or more a 10 OF. loaf of bread for
5 cts, and a % OF loaf for 10 cts. I
ate some of this bread and knowit to
be as good as can be found in Ironton.
The writer stood by our baker here
last Summer refusing to take any
bread but his, and asked his grocer to
stand by him-now 1 want him to
stand by me. The overhead ex-
pense to him to make a loaf of bread
is not one half of what it is to the St.
Louis baker. A farmer told me a few
days ago that he brought a fat COW to
town and all that the local butchers
would offer him was 3 cents per
pound. 1t does not appear that we
are getting a proportionate reduction
on u cuts over the butchers block.
Wake up, Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Butcher,
to the realization that the war is over.
