wondering how long your afflic-

doing a little stock taking?

And this is how she explains

Prudence Cole, the mother, was

and there remained only the
question. how and when to tell
Prudence.
They compromised after heated
discussion on not telling her at

without knowing whether he was

MISHAWAKA PAYS
TRIBUTE TO HER
SOLDIER DEAD
City Bows in Silence as Sol
emn Tribute to Those Who
Fought a Good Fight.

In the memory Of those who gal
lantly faced death and oblivion IN
the yellow fields Of waving grain in
France FAR from home and loved
cnes, alone and without hope except
for the communion Of their own
hearts, and the thought that they
were lighting for a great principle;
in honor 10 those whose last resting
place lies marked by a myriad Of
small white crosses, cleaning palely
in the moon light, thousands OF miles
away, the fourth anniversary Of the
successful elimination OF their gal
liant effort was celebrated Saturday.
Armistice Day.
Blasts from the fire whistles noti-
fed AIishawaka citizens that the an
niversary Of the day and hour that
VIII stand for al time as a challenge
10 history was at hand, and with
common accord, halted their work
and stood reverenrly. for one minute,
paying tribute 10 those who fought
the good fight"
Buildings throughout the business
section Of the city were gaily dec
GRATED with bunting and flags in
honor Of the occasion, and everyone
turned out with holiday faces to
celebrate.
AS a fitting close to such day,
the occasion was eliminated by a
monstrous parade through streets
thronged with people filled with en-
thusiasm, followed by an open air
meeting at the corner Of Mill and
Front SITS.
The parade was formed in front Of
the MishaWaka hOtel. and headed by
Maj. George Blair, commander OF
the local American Legion post, who
was followed by a squad of the local
police in uniform; the Wooden Co.'S
band; the Mishawaka company Of
National Guards; Civil War veterans
and members of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps in cars; the National
Emblem, guarded on either side by
a soldier and a sailor; Foreign War
veterans and nurses in uniform; an
artillery caisson drawn by four black
horses; the Mishawaka Wooden CO. s

city officials; the Dodge Co.'S band;

troops Of Boy Scouts, accompanied
by Scout Master Anderson the Sal

ing up the rear.
The parade was a success in every
way receiving applause all along the
line Of march, which extended from
the post Office over streets on both
sides of the river, and ending at the
Wooden Mills court yard at the cor
ner of Mill and Fourth sts.
Here an audience of about 500
persons enjoyed a short program,
which featured an address by ex-
Mayor Gaylor, and an invocation by
Rev. J. A. Burnett. The meeting
was closed with a fitting prayer by
Rev. W. W. Want.
Following the outdoor meeting,

operation and health will always be
the fundamental ideals OF merica. &"
said Prof Lillian Cay Berray. OF the
Indiana University in her address at
the AIishawaka Womans club yes
terday afternoon.
In the course OF her remarks Prof
Berry said: BY freedom, I mean
freedom within the law Not free
dom 10 do as one pleases. but free
dom with the law, based on the
written law handed down on Mount
Sinai and preached on the hills Of
Gallilee by the humble Nazarene.
This is often misinterpreted. es-
peciaIly by the foreigners, who come
from land Of oppression and
branded feeling. and like one sud
denly let loose, gets a false idea Of
freedom.
People should be instructed TO
what America freedom means and
that they are obliged to obey the
laws as ex-Vice-Prest Marshall
once said. At present there are 3S5
laws OF which I do not approve, but
as long as they are laws I shall obey
them When we can teach this to
the people. then we shall have taken
a step TO real AmericanizatiOn. The
same false idea Of freedom is found
TO prevail among the women, es-
pecially so, since comforting on
them the ballot. They think they
have 20 initiate the men and do
things which were formerly looked
upon as little vices even when done
by men, and this has not always
been the case.
Equality is another great Ameri-
can ideal The new democracy has
reason 20 be on guard. for too many
people come and too many think
people are born 10 be free and equal
Some of them think I must go into
my presidents office and have the
same right. This is a mistaken idea
OF equality American equality
means opportunity. Every one
should have the same opportunities
same responsibilities and the
same obligations and duties as a
citizen This is being taught in the
public schools and the homes.
Justice is another of our ideals.
