Today is Memorial Day, a day set apart by
Americans to honor the memory of our soldier
dead and show the living their patriotism and
love of country is not forgotten. The hard ma

with them even though the people of the country
fully realize the great debt of gratitude owing
them If the people of the country took the
same heart interest in electing men to office they
do in the soldiers of country the soldier would
not have so much cause to complain of treatment
received at the hands of governmental bureaus.

reached such state in this city that
residents have to practice what they

When Reginald Denny, the film

certain little phrases which, to DEN

one day:

saying Hello as you do.

one of the boys wanted to know.

whose auspices the lecture was
given.
Mr.. Cook said in part:
ITO the material senses man seems
to be a human organism with a mind
inside of 1t. 1t may be said, how
ever, that this mind which is sup
posed to control and direct the ac-
body, has never been definitely To-
Gated or satisfactorily explained. In
deed, it may be said that, from the
standpoint Of material scientific re-
search and experimentation, there is
no adequate proof Of the existence OF
