some important buying in the market q
early. Commission houses had plenty
of wheat for sale around top prices,
most of which was for outside longs

Again shah we see the aged forms of
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
and Stripes has never yet trailed In
defeat!
Yes there was fighting Mt Belleau
Wood and 81 Chateau ThIerry. But
there was fighting at Gettysburg and
Antietam, too. Read these lines by
the laconic Grant, who never wasted
word, and saw things as they were, in
derneSs":
"At SILT In the afternoon Lee at
tackled oue left. His line moved up
to within a hundred yards of ours
and opene1 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 ether times only In places
The ground fought over varied In
width, blu. averaged three-quarters of
a mile. The killed, and many of the
severely wounded of both armies lay
within this belt, where 1t was practi-
cally impossible to reach them. The
woods were set on fire by the bursting
shells AMI the con1agration 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
works In places. Being constructed of
wood they burned with great fury. But
the battle still ragged, our men firing
through the flames until it became too
hot t. remain longer. Lee was now
In digtress. During the night
all Of Lees army withdrew within
their intrenchments."
Let us give full 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.
Because only eight Of the 1874 Civil
war veterans who made up Encamp-
ment No. Z. Union Veteran legion,
are still living, and only three of this
number are able to leave their homes,
the roster has been presented to the
Mexican County Historical society for
preservation. The encampment was |
made up of veterans who flocked to !
Bradford with the discovery of oil
soon after the close Of the war. They |
more than 100 regiments
and most of them had been wounded

1t is well that 1t does. But time, also

to entice us away from the music of
the boisterous drum and silver voice
of the heroic bugle" of the days II
1865. American citizenship came
out Of the crash Of combat. not only
unscathed and unblemished. but also
enriched and glorified, and 1t was for
that very citizenship the war was
fought.
The Spanish-American war was a
short war and soon over. But 1t was
a 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
obJcet icSSoh mat TIC AiHcrlcuu VI
1898 was still the same old fighting
man of 1776 and 1872 and 1848 and
1861.
And 1t 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 Its yellow heart from Its
last staff In the Western Hemisphere,
the way was clear for complete recon-
clliation between the North and South.
One day In 1898 great transport
of the United States, bearing 1000
American soldiers and sailors, left a
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 mighty salute was given.
When the Grant memorial was dedi-
Gated in Washington 1t was veteran
In Gray who flung out the Flag and
said: "He gave us this!"
No more reverent homage is paid
at the TOMB OF tne "UnknoWn DEAD
in Arlington than by the Gray veterans
of 1865.

at Augusta-and remember that 1t was
through Georgia that Sherman
marched "from Atlanta to the sea-"
81 believe the framing of the
Constitution was inspired; believe 1t
with Gods intent, and yet there was
an ambiguity In this Constitution that
brought the North and South together
in great civil war, and 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 1t has
brought US to greater understand

II have been President Of the United
States a little more than two years,
and / have never heard more cordial
expressions, more generous tenders of
cooperation, more earnest wishes for

Abraham Lincoln once said, away
back in 1887:
"From 1777 to 1870 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 1897, these
are all gone. with few exceptions, and
the Nation Is closing the door upon
the hercism of the past; and must
now turn and face, without this In
spiration, future. which l cannot
know, and you cannot know, and only
God Himself can foretell"
So In 1923 we Of this day and gen.
GRAFTON have thrived and grown great
for go long years In the visible pres
ence of the heroes of 1876. 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 go years of the
nation there Is a new heroIsm-the
herolsm 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

AS Clever as a Rat"

1t Is because rats have very long
memories that they have learned to
avoid traps. A rat that once sees a
comrade Gagged never forgets the sight.
Moreover, he Is enabled, somehow. to
tell his fellows what he has seen. He
knows that man is his enemy. Hence
forward he will distrust all artificial
contraptions. AS the father rat Is the
family teacher, every generation Of
rats is wiser than that which has gone
