CLUB WOMAN HONORED

Lads of the Golden STAR written
by Mrs. Hyde Chaffee of Ventura in
memory of her soldier son, Wallace
Chaffee, was quoted in full by Presi-
dent Harding in his address Armistice
day at Arlington cemetery. 1t first ap-
peared in the Washington Star and lat
er in the Literary Digest. Mrs. Chat
fee is a prominent club woman of Cali
fornia and the honor to her is shared in
mind and heart by the California Fed
GRAFTON as a whole. The poem is given
here i'll full:
.'You left us in life's early morning,
When the call came so clear from
afar;
For you it was eternity's dawning,
Brave lads of the Golden Star.
Life held to hands rich with promise
Love waited your manhood to bless;
But bravely you followed the banner
To the land lying crushed and dis
tressed.
"With life blood you've written your
story
On the poppy strewn meadows afar;
No tribute can add to your glory,
Brave lads of the Golden Star.
Now the Great Captain s banner en-
folds you;
He'll lead you where still waters
flow;
No longer the strife and the conflict,
But His peace, perfect peace, you
shall know.
CHORUS
Oh, laddies of the little star,
Once blue, now turned to gold,
Do you know up there in heaven fair
You re our own lads, just as of old
Never shall you be forgotten, though
the pathway stretches afar
Wen meet you at last when life &
journey is past,
Dear lads of the Golden Star"

SOUTHERN WILL
OPERATE CABLE
SnERRARD Line


The Rock Island Southern Will
take over the operation and man
agemept of the Cable-Sherrard
branch of the Rock Island Lines
tomorrow morning.
The same schedule will be fol-
lowed. although it is expected that
changes will be made later. The
transaction is a. strictly business
proposition, according to G. W.
Quackenbush, vice president Of the
Southern.
The branch runs over section of
the Southern at the present time
and it was thought advisable by
the Rock Island Southern officials
to take over the management OF
the branch line. The Cable-Sher-
rard branch runs between Rock
Island and Sherrard, and from
Presumption to- Cable, taking in
Taylor Ridge and Reynolds.
Eliminates Dual Control.
1.-THE road at the present time
is run under a dual operation,
Mr.. Quackenbush said, (which is
not necessary. The Rock Island
Southern at the present time is II
a better position to operate the
road, speaking from standpoint
of operation, than the Rock Is
land Lines"

Washington, D. c., Sept 3d.
William r. McCauley of Chicago,
for two years state commander OF
the American Legion OF Illinois,
may become the next state prohibit
ton director.
McCauley's retirement from the
leadership of the state legion at
the convention held at Rock Island
during the week leaves him free to
accept the post from which the
present director, Charles A. Greg
ory Of Lovington, is expected to re-
sign in December.
1t has been learned here on good
authority that McCauley is being
seriously considered for the place
and that he has the approval OF
both Senators Mccormick and Nc
Kinley, who named the present in
cumbent.
Behind the proposed McCauley
appointment is a desire on the part
of the "drys" to win moral support
for prohibition enforcement IN Iii
nois among the ex-seryiee men OF
the state. It is argued that II the
former legion head is placed IN
charge of the enforcement office, II
will be easier to enlist the active
support Of American Legion posts
and individual veterans Throughout
the state in keeping the dry
regulations in force.
| Prohibition Director Gregor!

be relieved from duty at the end o.
the present year.
He took the post soon after Pres

press publicly their satisfaction

it plain that his retirement is die
