MEMORIAL DAY

From James Russell LoWel's Com
memoration Ode.
Not In anger, not I'm pride,
Pure from passions mixture rude
Ever to base earth allied,
But with far-heard gratitude,
Still with heart and voice renewed,
To heroes living and dear martyrs dead,
The strain should close that consecrates
our brave.
Lift the heart and lift the head!
Lofty be it's mood and grave,
Not without a martial ring,
Not without a prOuder tread
And peal of exultation;
Little right has he to sing
Through whose heart in such an hour
Beats no march OF conscious power.
Sweeps no tumult of elation!
IT'S no Man we celebrate.
BY this countrys victories great,
A hero half. and half the whim OF Fate,
But the pith and marrow OF a Nation,
Drawing force from all her men,
Highest, humblest. weakest. all,
For her time OF need. and then
Pulsing II again through them.
TIL the basest can no longer cover,
Feeling his soul spring up divinely tall,
Touched but In passing by her mantle
hem.
Come back. then. noble pride, for tits her
dover!

Picric Acid Free for Blowing Stunps.
At the close Of the World War

hCklC AClO I1CC AVH 0kVWAu8 0sOMnRss
At the close Of the World War
there was an enormous quantity
|of explosives owned by the war
department of the United States
which it was not deemed wise to
keep in storage awaiting another
WAR. Arrangements had been
made to dump several million
pounds of this material into the
ocean when the Secretary of
Agriculture asked that it be given
/ to the farmers of the nation for
blowing stumps, ditching and
other agricultural purposes. The
Secretary Of War and President
approved the plan and the re-
sponsibilioy Of packing, shipping
and distributing was placed in
the hands of the Department of
Agriculture. Allotments were
made to each state and provisions
made whereby it should not fall
Into the hands Of spectators,
neither could it be taken up by
the large planters until the small
farmers had an opportunity to
get some. Not more than a
thousand pounds will be given to
one farmer. Though the explo-
sive is free to farmers only the
cost of packing and freight must
be paid by those who wish some
|of this material, and this ex-
pense amounts to about clven
cents ner pound in Louisiana.
This explosive is put out under
1.-THE name of Picric Acid and is
handled in exactly the same
manner as dynamite. The free
loffer of this material is good for
this spring only. While the cost
of packing and freight amounts
| to about halfor more of the val
lue of an explosive. It's still far
cheaper than dynamite. Grant
parish farmers who contemplate
blowing stumps or bitches in the
next year would do well to take
advantage of this picric acid
while it is availble. For further
information or application blanks

Rip Van Wrinkle and the Three Blind
Mice.

Rip Van Wrinkle and the Three Blind
Mice.
Editor CoIfar Chronicle:
Mr.. Fletcher's letter reveals
an. interesting thing to me. | did
not know, Colfax was the home
of Rip Van Winkie, who has been
sleeping these many years in
Ruston, waiting to be awakened
by the noise of Grants school
affairs. He.is there, still half
asleep, yet he recalls the names
of his fellowmen, Judge Rich
ardson, Captain Teal and Mr.. A.
A. Dean. He has a waking
dream of Judge Richardson as
superintendent of schools of
Grant parish making Friday
afternoon talk on George and
Martha Washington. He is still
confused and places a school room
Of one hundred pupils with one
teacher in our time, instead of
Judge Richardson's era, where
it belongs. A waste of time in
such school room!
Let US make a little calculation.
6 school hours equal $50 min
utes.
$50 minutes divided by 100
(No. of pupils equal 3 3-5 min
utes per child per day.
33 5 minutes divided by 5 (No.
of daily recitations) equal 43 Is
seconds thine per child per reci-
tation.
Why not say creased light
ming fingers in its flashes?
Consolidated schools and the
van system is a remedy for this
plan Of education while you run.
Let US invite this modern Rip
Van Wrinkle to Supt. Coburn's
schools in Grant. where his teach
ers daily hold up such men as
Jack Pershing, Marechal Foch,
Woodrow Wilson and others. in
place of the learned Judges
Friday afternoon talks on Mar
tina and George.
A cloud must yet hover over
Rips vision. Let US try to clear
this comparison of Federal and
State constitution, followed by
the advice to follow Mr.. Teal.
High school graduates did not
write the u. S. constitution.
Rip thinks they might have
written the State constitution.
Now Mr.. Teal was not born
when the former was written,
but was very much alive at the
time Of the latter, and helped
eject the man who welded the
big stick" in taxation matter
Of state wide interest. Where.
fore the slurs on this recent con
sritution and then advice to fol

Hillmdn for Mayor

announced. Among. those who
have announced is j. B. Hillman.
For five weeks he has been con-
fined to his bed unable to look af-

adelphia's most deserving citi-
zens, a man of integrity, ability
and having every qualification
that such all office demands. He
is on the road to recovery, and,
after so many weeks from his of
flee, the salary that the office
carries would, no doubt, come in
handy. And more than that his
election to the office at time
like this will give him that en-
couragement that every man
needs, who has lain SO close to
deaths door. Every vote cast for
him would be an expression of
the regard with which his friends
hold him, and, in spite of the
fact that such an Office offers an
opportunity for great service. |

can do is to serve one's friend
With that in mind | withdraw

couraged me will cast their bal.
