sTRovE FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Armies Under the Stars and Stripes
Had Always the Noblest Aims
Man May Know.

For two decades the recurrent OBJ
servance of Memorial day has been
the regretful text fer comment upon
the dwindling line of "The Boys in
Blue" The World war has given an
added significance to the exercises of
the day, which in all the years to
come will be dedicated also to 'The
Boys in Khaki" the young men OF
this generation who so nobly carried
on the noble record established by
the men Of the early sixties. And IN
between room will be preserved for
the veterans of the war with Spain
In Cuba and the Philippines.
1t is a proud tradition that In each
Of these wars the armies beneath the
Stars and Stripes fought for human
liberty, not for greed Of territory o.
lust of power, but. In the immortal
words OF Lincoln, that government OF
the people should not perish, And the
outcome In each has Justified the
faith that Conquer we must when oui
cause 1t is just" A people that taket
up the sword only Ia such eifcnmstnn.

WINTER AND NJ N SHRUB
Evergreen Is Recommended as the
Best Of AI1-contrasts That May
Be Made Pleasing.

Taking the United States as a whole
the average time that deciduous plants
are without foliage is at least five
months. During this period the home
is occupied as continuously as in sum-
mer, and the surroundings should be
as attractive as possible, say land
scape gardeners of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Ever
green shrubs, both coniferous and
broad leaved, maintain a color
throughout the winter not otherwise
obtained. Used in moderation, they
are a distinct addition at this season.
On the other hand, many deciduous
shrubs have attractive winter char
acters, the most striking being those
bearing b~right-colored berries. Then
there are barks of many shades of
brown and gray, with some Of bright.
red, green, and yellow, that if prop
erly arranged make pleasing contrasts
and add to- the winter beauty.
The short blooming period Of the
average shrub makes flowers the least
important of the characters to be con-
sidered. In spite of this the color,
character, and time of blooming
should be considered as well as the
behavior of the dying flowers, whether
or not they fade to a conspicuous and
undesirable color and hang on unduly
or pass away without a distinctly un-
slightly stage.

WANTS A CHANCE
Boy Who Is Only p Years Old Has
Spent Ten Years in Jail.

"1'en years of my life in jail, Judge,
and I'm only 81 years old now" Rob-
ert Mckenzie, no home, told Judge
Cotter Of Detroit while he explained
his plight. "They don't give me a
chance to get started. AS sooI as I
get out they send me back"
Mckenzie was found sleeping in the
reporters, at police headquarters
and was brought in as a vagrant. He
was released from the House Of Cor
rection recently and had been unable
to find work or a home.
He told of a sentence OF eight years
in a reform school and of mary sen
fences for minor offenses that followed
closely on each other. Judge Cotter
adjourned the case to make q further
investigation to see what machinery
of the court can be used to give Nc
Kenzie the chance he says he missed.

STICK UP FOR HOME TOWN
P-7lIy Good Citizen Is the One Who
Has Its Interests Close to
His Heart.

There is something the matter with
the man who doesn't care for the
place he lives in; who doesn't come
back to it with some degree Of rap
ture and relief. The world citizen,
who boasts that all places are alike
to him and any place is home where
he hangs his hat, misses out Of his
life one OF the first and strongest in
centives to decency and duty-which
is the desire to win the general esteem
and good opinion of the community
in which one dwells. There is no re-
ward in money which compares in val
ue with the golden treasure of a good
repute. If a man cheats and lies and
steals and bears false witness, he may
build up a great fortune and still be
plagued at night with the knowledge
that those about him hold a low opin-
ion of his worth and works. Doctor
Eliot of Harvard has told us that it
is the favorable opinion of a mans
home town that is worth earning and
retaining. One Of the neighbors
might be wrong; but if we take the
summation of what many are saying,
we probably shall arrive at a just es-
innate.
Merely to live in a place doesn't
make one a citizen. Your heart will
be where your work has been put in
to help forward any good thing that
is going. Of course, one must be true
to the immediate family circle and
look well to the rooftree and the door
yard of ones own household first of
all. But that intimate indoor devo-
ton, commendable as it is, may be-
come a selfish sentiment that takes
no thought for those measures of pub
lie welfare in whose benefits we all
share,-Philadelphia Ledger.

UTILIZATION OF FARM LAND.
Value Of Place Depends Upon What
Proportion of Total Area Can
Be Made Productive.

Effective utilization of farm land
means a high percentage of income
producing area, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The value of a farm depends
upon what proportion of its total area
is productive. Compare a farm of 100
acres at 5000 an acre, 95 acres being
in shape to yield available products,
with another farm of the same acre
age at $50 an acre, but with only 65
productive acres. If all the other fea-
lures of the two farms are similar,
the former should be the most profit
able because its pro~fit-producing land
costs but S120 ar acre against $3.50 an
acre on the second farm.

Only the slow chisel of time can
carve the truth Of history. That which
we debate hotly and surround with
words and eagerness and doubts and
disappointments fades and is forgot
ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon
our tongues and too obvious to be dis
Icussed, is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such revalua-
ton made itself felt on Memorial day
last year. In the commemoration OF
the day here and abroad there was Il
silent power that all who participated
could not but feel. Tears were nearer
the surface than any one suspected,
memories more poignant. The very
thought of our dead lying in the soil of
France, their graves covered With flow
ers by the hands of French women
and French children, the bugles of
their French comrades blowing over
them, stirs the deeps of reverence and
loyalty.
A scene in France, in one of the
largest cemeteries in which American
soldiers are buried, is thus beautifully
described:
Scene Most Picturesque.
Beyond the wall masses Of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
OF the houses. In the distance a few
lazy clouds, in sky Of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent OF flowers filed the air. At
our feet low mounds and white
crosses Above our heads. at half mast,
the Stars and Stripes.
Monsieur Gounelle, in black cassoek,
spoke in French and explained t o his
people the meaning OF Memorial day.
One felt, instinctiyely, their sympathy
and love.
Then we laid on every grave a spray
Of flowers and breathed a prayer for
the absent ones. Each girl felt per-
sonally responsible for each mound in
the row she decorated. How clear the
narne on those crosses stood out even
though a year had passed!
The French officers laid a wreath Mt
the foot of the flag pole and one OF
Them spoke with tenderness OF the he
rosa who had gone on. Already there
hung upon the pole lovely wreaths
from the VILE de Chateauroux, from
the French mothers association, ana
ether local organizations.
