we love and friends we respected, not

All, nati0nalities and different re-
ligious denominations In churches and
out In the open pay religious tribute
to those who have departed to meet
their Maker through the most fervent
prayers. and the laying Of flowers and

a most solemn duty accompanied by

Memorial day Is the one day In the
year when the coed and bad. the rich

All these most human labors OF love
for the departed ones take place IN

day reaches wherever our people may
be-around the world from the most
prosperous individual to the most will
full whose liberty Is curtalIed to the
confines Of their place OF incarceration,
because the most hardened men and
women have sincere recoiiections when
thinking OF their dead.
This Is the day set aside by most
states of our Union to forcibly bring TO
our minds that those whom we loved
In life and our country's heroes should
not be forgotten Ia their lonely sur

A single flower OF little value placed
on a grave denotes thoughtfulness or
a possible sacrifice By a humble suf-
