School Days Are Over

School days are over and many
are leaving for their vacations or
making preparations to go. Charles
Stout, son of Attorney and Mrs. G.
Stout, returned the latter part of
last week from Weiser where he
has been attending school and where
he graduated this term from the
high school in that city. Charles
will probably go to college next
term. Virginia Munroe arrived home
this week from Logan, Utah, where
she has been attending the Presby-
terian school for girls in that city
and from which she was a high
school graduate this year. Mrs.
Munroe and Alaine were in Logan

We have a country worth fighting
for, but it can only be worth it so
long as we remember those who have
fought for it, those who gave their
lives that it might always be what
its founders intended.
We have come to another anniver-
sary, an occasion when the patrio-
tism of every liberty-loVing man and
woman of this country should assert
itself, and when we should give evil
dence anew that we are not too
busily engaged in our battle for
bread to remember the ones who
sacrificed that we might produce and
eat that bread in peace. There are
some among us today who can re-
member those strenuous days some
sixty and four years ago, days when
mems souls were tried, yet days
which proved the manhood of Amer
leans. Time, the great healer, has
been kind and old scars have been
obliterated. We proved to the world
that we were as quick to forgive and
to seek peace as we were to fight for
it. And then came the world war,
when all the earth was at a parting
of the ways. And the sons of those
who fought in blue Joined hands
with those who fought in gray. And
the blood of every state in the union
was poured out and mingled on a
foreign field that civilization might
not be destroyed, that brutality
might not set itself up as ruler of
the world.
The least we can do on this oc-
casion-our annual Decoration Day
is lift our voices in patriotic praise
of our heroes, of all wars, who now
sleep beneath the sod. There should
not be among us a single one so
thoughtless as to withhold from them
the tribute that is their just due,
the flower that carries on beyond
the skies our message of love for the
sacrifice they made in our behalf.
other generations are coming on
as this one passes, other hands will
in all the years to come do that
which it is now given us to do-lay
flowers on the last resting place of
those of our flesh and blood who
gave their lives unfinchingly for the
land they loved, land now entrust-
ed to our keeping.
Let us tread softly once more
about their resting places with a
prayer of thanks for their heroism
upon our lips; let us lay on the grass
above each and every one of them
flower, flag, as token of the love
that will always be in our hearts for
them.

PRACTICAL JOKER
in GLENNS FERRY
mike" Sitton Passes Awsy-Burial
Takes Place in Masonic Cemetery
in Boise-0ther Ferry News
Glenns Ferry.

Some practical joker got busy in
town the beginning of the week
causing some CONSERVATION in the
city hall A we'll known rancher ar
rived in town and tied his old truss
> ty nag to a telephone pole in one of
the main alleys of the city. After
finishing his errands he went to un-
hitch his steed for the purpose of
mounting and jogging along home
but found to his surprise that it had
been labelled with a printed sign
Wrongly parked, report at the po-
lice station" Thinking that he had
got in bad he proceeded Immediately
to the city hall but found that the
office was closed, however, he re-
turned later finding the officer he
sought present and digging down in
to his overalls produced $5 bill to-
gether with the printed notice re-
marking "Well, / guess it's on me.
Give this to the judge" The officer
at first thought the man had sudden
ly lost lhis mind but upon reading
the notice and consulting with the
police judge came to the conclusion
that it was all hoax and informed
the farmer that the "joke was sure
on him as no such notice came from
that department or were ever issued
in that form. The farmer with a
broad grin on his rugged counten-
ance pocketed his money, mounted
his one horse power vehicle and de-
parted for home hugging his five
dollar bill No doubt the pracital
joker paid the price of this card for
a similar offence in our capital city
and thought it a good joke to pass
on. 1t sounds like a Boise traffic
cops personal message to violator
of the Boise ordinance anyway.
