Time Flies

The centenary of the birth of Gen. U. S.
Grant, which will be celebrated in the counties
of his birth and youth, April II to 20. recalls the
years have elapsed since the birth of the man
who later led the Union forces to victory in the
sanguinary struggle of the North and South
The rapidly thinning ranks of the men who
fought at his side and with the other generals OF
the Civil war may suggest the thought that be-
fore long few will be left of that mighty array,
but the thought that 100 years have passed since
their children and grandchildren.
The ceremonies attending the celebration Of
the anniversary of Gen. Grants birth will be i'm
posing President Harding, Gen. Pershing, and
other high officers of the government will visit
the plot of ground on which formerly stood the
cabin in which Gen. Grant was born, there to
pay tribute to the man whose genius and de-
tions.
This celebration will bring back hallowed
memories to the survivors of the mighty armies
that were recruited in the North to expel slavery
and perpetuate the Union. The Grant anniver-
sary will flash before their minds eye many
decades of the nations history-its material de-
velopment and the gradual unfolding of its insti-
buttons. Our history since the Civil war is
based primarily upon their efforts and sacrifices.

American republic as one union of many states.

Along the well-known western coast
the golden climate is mems boast.
Come here" they cry, with outstretch-
ed hands, I'VE weatherworn of other
lands! Come here where spring for
ever dwells, and every breeze is wear
ing bells, where winters cold and sum-

bend, and human comfort has no end,'
And now along this shining shore, for
many weeks, and many more, a wet
and weary rain has poured, and snow
has swept. and gales have roared; and
when a man steps down the street a
cloudburst lifts him off his feet, and
drags him through yellow flood, and
slams him in a bank of mud. "And

On to Nashville

The whole community will watch with par.
donable pride the impression which the high
school orchestra will make on the musicians at
Nashville, before whom the boys and girls will
soon give series of concerts.
The high school orchestra has been one of
the objects of pride in this community for many
years. and in turn it has reciprocated by giving
to the city and its school system a standing in
educational circles which is enviable
But never has it had an opportunity to dem
onstrate its ability before such an assembly of
critics as will hear it at Nashville. One may say
that it faces its crucial test as musical organ
ization. The citizens know that it will perform
in a creditable manner and will return home
laden with the plaudits and concentrations OF
the music supervisors of America and of the
citizens of Nashville.
A small sum of money still needs to be raised
to insure the expenses of the trip. The public
may encourage the youthful players immensely
by attending the concert Thursday evening The
proceeds of the entertainment will go to the or
chestra.

Observation from an elevated train
shows that few blocks Oh which are

aerlals, according to the New York
Sun.
Third avenue especially is marked
by radio. Wires run from poles ON
one roof 10 poles on anothsr from
chimneys and cornices ana am sorts of
places where there seems a good loca-
tion for the feelers that catch the mes
sages from the air and carry them
down to the receiving instruments.
Aerials are of all types, one, two, four
and five strands, clumsily made some
of them. others apparently the work
of experts. Some are so small that
one wonders how they ever attract n
wireless message or telephone pro-
gram. In any event it would seem
that apartment house landlords once
opposed to allowing tenants TO erect
aerials on the roofs have been won
over.
