Closing Hours Are Busiest
The closing hours of the day at
the postoffice are always the rush
hours and it would be of the great
est advantage to the sender and as
sistance to the postoffice clerks If
packages were brought to the office
as early in the day as possible. This
would not only avoid getting into
crowds and the consequent waits but
would permit of a better distribution
in dispatching packages on the early
trains instead of the late ones.
"The postoffce employees will do
everything in their power to expedite
the dispatch and delivery of mail, and
if the general public will bear in
mind the suggestions offered, they can,
by adopting them, render timely as
sistance in helping to avoid the con-
gestion and in preventing the relays
that are incident to the busy Christ

gestions from the public are invited
and will be given careful considera-

crate veterans. never had such cor
dial reception in my life.
II have been President of the United
States a little more than two years,
and l have never heard more cordial
expressions, more generous tenders of
the good fortune of the republic than
those which have come from the states
of the South, and which are not in
party sympathy with the administra-
ton"
Abraham Lincoln once said, away
back in 1887:
"From 1777 to 1880 long years
the Nation has thrived and grown
great in the visible presence of the
surviving heroes and heroines of the
Revolution, the very sight of them in
spring us. But now, in 1887, these
are all gone, with few exceptions, and
the Nation is closing the door upon
the heroism of the past; and must
now turn and face, without this in
spiration, a future, which I cannot
God Himself can foretell."
So in 1923 we of this day and gen
Grafton have thrived and grown great
for 60 long years in the visible pres
ence of the heroes of 1868. Now the
heroes of that time-and no finer,
smarter fighting men ever marched at
the double-quick-are bent and
stopped, tired by the long march, al
most ready to break ranks for the
last bivouac.
But for the next 60 years of the
nation there is new herOism-the
heroism of the boys in Khaki. May
the coming generations thrive and
grow great in their visible presence.
May their visible presence be as in
spring as that of the men of 1776 and
the men of 1861!
1.-THE Hottest tribute we can bestOw

fashioned in deliberate conviction,
out of unclouded thought. neither
Swallowed by remOrSe nor made vain
by fancies, is the commitment of this
Republic to an advancement nevar
made before" said President Harding
at the burial of the Unknown Dead"
at Arlington. IF American achieve
ment is a cherished pride at home. If
our unselfishness among nations is all
we wish it to be, and ours is help
full example in the world, then let us
give our influence and strength, yea,
Of our aspirations and convictions, to
put mankind on little higher plane,

Time, they say, heals all wounds
1t is we'll that it does. But time, also
grasses memories. And this is not
so we'll. Time should not be allowed
to entice us away from the music Of
the boisterous drum and silver voice
Of the heroic bugle" Of the days of
1866. American citizenship came
out of the crash of combat, not only
unscathed and unblemished, but also
enriched and glorified, and it was for
that very citizenship the war was
fought.
The Spanish-American war was a
short war and soon over. But 1t was
tremendously important war for all
that. This war put the American
Navy on the Seven Seas to stay. 1t
made the United States a world-power
over night 1t was to the world an
object lesson that the American of
1898 was still the same old fighting
man of 1776 and 1912 and 1848 and
1861.
And it was in this war that the
Blue and the Gray first blended into the
Khaki. When Miles and Wheeler
fought under the Star-Spangled Ban
ner and drove the bloOd-red flag of
Spain with it's yellow heart from it's
last staff in the Western Hemisphere,
the way was clear for complete recon-
Citation between the North and South
= One day in 1898 a great transport
of the United States, bearing 1000
American soldiers and sailors, left q
dock in the Hudson river for the Phil
ippines. This great ship turned north
instead of south and steamed slowly
up the Hudson to the tomb Of Grant
And then a mighty salute was given.
When the Grant memorial was dedi-
Gated in Washington it was a veteran
in Gray who flung out the Flag and
said: "He gave us this!'
No more reverent homage is paid
at the tomb of the Unknown Dead"
in Arlington than by the Gray veterans
of 1865.
Said President Harding last month
at Augusta-and remember that it was
through Georgia that Sherman
marched ''from Atlanta to the sea-"
II believe the framing of the
Constitution was inspired; l believe it
with Gods intent, and yet there was
an ambiguity in this Constitution that
brought the North and South together
in a great civil war, that ambigu-
ity had to be wiped out at great costs
and yet, again, this is one of the best
things that has ever happened to the
American republic, because it has
brought US to a greater understand

Again shall we see the aged forms of
the veterans who fought under Grant
and under Lee, under Sherman and
Stonewall Jackson; under Sheridan
and Stuart.
And do not let time dim for you the
martial glories of their battles. For
there is more to Memorial Day than
smiles and tears and tears and smiles
for the Blue and the Gray.
The United States of America does
not go around with chip on shoulder.
But you know, and know, away down
deep, that we Americans are the most
warlike people on this earth, and the
most desperate in battle. The Stars

Yes, there was fighting at Belleau
Wood and at Chateau Thierry. But
there was fighting at Gettysburg and
Antietam, too. Read these lines by
the laconic Grant, who never wasted a
word, and saw things as they were, in
his chapter entitled Battle of the Will
derness":
"At $40 in the afternoon Lee at
tackled our left. His line moved up
to within a hundred yards of ours
and opened heavy fire. The
enemy pushed through our lines, plant
ing their flags on a part of the in
trenchments not on fire. Fight
ing had continued from five in the
morning, sometimes along the whole
line, at other times only in places.
The ground fought over varied in
width, but averaged three-quarters of
severely wounded of both armies lay
within this belt, where it was practi-
cally impossible to reach them. The
woods were set on fire by the bursting
shells and the conflagration ragged. The
wounded who had not strength to
move themselves were either SuffO-
Gated or burned to death. Finally,
The fire communicated with our breast

wood they burned with great fury. But
the battle still ragged, our men firing
through the flames until it became too
hot to remain longer. Lee was now
in distress. During the night
all of Lees army withdrew within
their Entertainments"
Let us give Gull need of honor to
the survivors of those heroic days.
For soon there will be no survivors
either in Blue or Gray. Consider the
story that comes from Bradford, Pa.
