DECORATION DAY

The American Legion, the Auxil-
larry and the Old Soldiers and their
friends made great preparations for
Decoration Day, but the storm on
Monday night put a damper on the
entire program. However, in the
afternoon, the speaking and the pro-
gram was partially carried out to a
fair audience. The speech by the
chosen orator, Mr. Harris of Ottawa,
Kansas, was greatly appreciated by
the audience and was in part as fol-
lows:
''The boy sent to the grocery store,
does not know whether ma wants to
he sees both processes going on at
bake or pa wants to brew. And when
home how can you blame the boy if
he has disrespect for law and order
when his father shows no respect.
You may say that is far from a Mem
orial day thought. It is not, my
friends, it is right in line. For if we
simply are willing to obey the laws
we like and ignore others, we are
drifting toward anarchy"
The speaker depIored the crime
wave and worst of all that most of
the lawbreakers are mere boys. He
asserted that it started right among
us while the boys were across the
oceans fighting the Germans.
Everybody was doing It, - he said,
"and everybody was trying to make
as much as he possibly could and It
was easy. Now when opportunities
are not plentiful for making money
honestly, other methods are employ
ed.".
A tribute was paid to the city OF
Hays for having club room designed
or set apart for the veterans and 5haf
all who enter see the roster of one
hundred names of the original post
and of whom only sixteen are among
the living today.
The program was the usual one in
that Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
was read and after song and prayer
Gladys Copeland gave a reading, 'The
Unknown Slodier," with the natural
ness of platform experience.
Owing to the bad condition Of the
roads and threatening weather there
was no marching to the cemetery. A
committee of veterans went out with
truck load of flowers and decorated
the graves.

Death and Birth.

Z What a ridiculous thing it is to
trouble and affect ourselves about

liver us from all misery and trouble
AS our birth brought US the birth Of
ali things. so in our death is the death
OF all things included And. there
