that better feeling has never existed

something worth while.

Judging from the length of time it is

An expedition Of four of US fellows

We were greatly surprised after pro-

1t enabled US to keep up with them,
for we literally ran up to the top of
the summit.
Upon reaching the top, however, we
were more cautious for we could hear
the voices>of a mighty multitude. Nat

ready to roast or boil us should they
catch Us. We felt that our fears were

1864. Here the Confederates under
Breckenridge defeated the Union
forces under Siegel. There is prob
ably no secondary battle of the Civil
War of more Importance. Had Siegel
won, Lee could not have spared the
men TO check his advance without ex-
posing Richmond to immediate and
perhaps inevitable capture. The fact
that New Market could be re-enacted
with the applause of thousands of
spectators shows how thoroughly the
wounds of the Civil War are healed

have been wrought in the span OF ms
life! The political world has practlcai-
ly been made over The industrial and
commercial world has been revolu-

people have marched from the Mis-

When Henry d. Lay was born in
1924 there were only twenty-four stars

Of the United States was the ROCKY

figures for the Grand Army of the

O., tell saddening story. The peak
of the membership was 409,4S in
1890. In 1921 the membership had
dwindled to S5,67S. In 1892 it was
76,126. The decrease in Grand Army
