Pay Tribute at
Patriot Graves

Americas pre-eminence among the
nations could not have been attained
without fighting. War is detestable,
but Americas wars have been neces-
sary not only for normal national
progress, but also for sheer self-pres-
ervatiOn. War marked the birth of
the Republic. War to save the Repub-
lie from disintegratiOn could not be
averted. War to assert the Republics
dignity and to uphold the ideal of
democracy against the assaults of ar
rogant autocracy gave the United
States new claims to greatness.
War is detestable, for it is essen
TALLY savage. Men in wars are devot-
ed to the work of killing. They ex-
pose themselves to the chance of be-
ing killed by men whom they have
never seen and against whom they
have no personal enmity. And, worst
Of all, in war might makes right, and
victory may be triumph Of injustice.
Because war is an abomination the ma
TONS gratitude to the men who have
fought Americas great wars is all the
more profound. And the nations debt
to men who have given their lives is
too great ever to be paid.
It is at best but poor tribute that
we can pay on Memorial day. The
flowers with which we cover the
graves cannot restore the joy Of life
to young men whose sacrifice has
made our own lives livable. Our trib-
ute is rite. 1t is our expression of
appreciation, and at the same time it
assuages a certain hurt in our own
consciences. It goes a little way to-
ward making us feel a little less cal
lous and selfish in not remembering
every day instead Of one day year.
Surely it is not too much for every
one to contribute a little to the OBJ
servance Of the one day devoted to
the memory of those who have given
everything for us. Memorial day
should not be regarded merely as a
holiday, day for merrymaking and
recreation. Its significance is too
much forgotten; it is the way Of hu-
man nature to forget that which is not
joyous and to seize for pleasure any
moment which offers. Today let us
remember. Let us not smugly step
aside and leave observance to the few
who feel its true meaning, but let us
all give serious thought to the great.
ness Of our debt. Memorial day thus
solemnized must make the United
States finer nation and the people
Of the United States worthier Of the

Tom.

French adopt

whose son, Hilton u. Brown, Jr., is

Any improperly or dissertation would

"'There has been no incident Of
that nature. On the contrary, the
most scrupulous courtesy is always
shown by all visitors and passers-by.
"French troops going to or from

on approaching the cemetery and re-

Beoueathed Liberty

Memorial day is well observed with
reminders that this country was born
In war, reached the maturity Of it's
power in a civil war, and has main
tanned its ideals, prosperity and terri
torial integrity in war. The liberty
every citizen enjoys was paid for by
soldiers and sailors who preferred
death to life in any but free coun.
try. It was they who bought the
country and its institutions. They left
it to be enjoyed by posterity, and the
measure of posterity's gratitude is it's
reverence for the memory Of its vic
torious forebears.

Napoleon in honor Of his victories.
Everywhere the thought was DOM
inant; thought that afterward burst
forth in song. 1t was: Deutschland
uber Alles!" In their daydream Of
empire they saw the time coming when
pilgrims from Arctic's remotest shore
and caravans from Sahara's burning
sands would take their cOstliest tributes
and reverently lay them at the feet Of
mighty Germania.
Two Places Not Captured.
In that war there were two places the
Prussians did not capture, Belfort and
Verdun. A great lion, carved in stone,
is the emblem of Belfort. In the elo-
quence Of silence appreciation finds
voice by painting "Verdun" in letters
of gold.
When the World war broke, the Ger
mans remembered the sentry who had
halted them on the march to greater
empire. The finest army the broad en-
pire of the Central Powers could mus
ter was thrown against Verdun. Sacri-
feed! Another army. Another sacri-
fee! Days Of effort passed to weeks,
and weeks to months, and months to
years. An irresistible force met an i'm
movable object. Human effort locked
in an embrace that knew no breaking.
In this seeming eternity the Sentinel
Of Verdun walked his post. In de-
spair's darkest hour he called: "All
is well! All is Welt"
Vauquois mountain stood as the most
indomitable redoubt in the most tre-
mendous line Of defense ever built by
mantle Hindenburg line. Other
places were strong. Over other places
the tide Of battle ebbed and flowed.
Verdun Is where human effort froze.
Thus far and no farther. "They shall
not pass"
Where the Eagle Struck.
A short distance from Vauquois
mountain is the town of Montfaucon.
Rightly named. Hawk mountain.
Eagle mountain.
Line after line Of defense was back
Of Vauquois mountain. The Hagen
stellung. The Volker stellung. The
Krimhelde stellung. All formidable.
The Argonne forest with the screened
macine gun nests.
Look at map Of the region of Vau-
quois mountain. You wonder why the
Germans did not pincer off the salient
and easily capture Verdun. Be on the
ground when the firing ceased. It is a
wonder there is an American soldier
alive to tell the tale. The massive
works that turned the fair face Of Ma
ture into the side of a battleship!
Day Of Destiny.
September &c, 1918, the knell of en-
pire was struck! The poles of north
and south did meet. An irresistible
force ground to dust an immovable OBJ
ject. Forty years Of preparation to
dominate the earth came to naught.
Forty years Of preparation for the
RESPONSIBILITIES Of citizenship makes
this date forever glorious.
September &c will be placed on the
calendar of all of earth. On this date
division of American national guards
men went forward to take Vauquois
mountain and anything else that stood
in its way. In few hours the noun
tain fell. Terrific shock! Their lines
wavered. The guardsmen rallied.
Again forward! Volker stellung
taken! Town after town restored to
France! On the field Of valor the Mis-
souri, Tiger and the Kansas Jayhawker
are mounted to highest posts Of equal
honor with the Sentinel Of Verdun.

TRIALS AND THRILLS
(By L. Breckheimer,
Sturgeon Lake, Mimi
Continued from last week)
CHAPTER XII
Another Trial for All.


A months later, after Jacks death,
Margaret came home from work very
tired. She had been working on a
story Roses and Thorns All i'm
Patches" The boss liked it real well
and said it would bring him good
money. Margaret came in from work
about five, expecting a hearty greet
ms to her tired limbs. But she re-
ceived none. So she went to the bath
room to wash up, thinking Mrs. Rapp
mad gone some place. There to her
great dismay, was Mrs. Rapp lying on
the floor staring up at the ceiling.
"Ah! Mrs. Rapp, is anything the
matter?" cried Margaret.
"NO, dear, only l am not feeling
well, and l just can't get up at all.
You help me to the bed, please DEAR"
said Mrs. Rapp.
Margaret helped her to the couch
and then she asked, 'Shall | run and
get Doctor Hemmer?"
Eyes, dear, but l think this is my
last answered Mrs. Rapp.
Hardly listening to Mrs. Rapp's re-
Spouse, Margaret sped out into the
night air. She ran nearly every step
and when she reached the doctors
home, she walked right in without
waiting to knock. Come quick, Doc
tor, Mrs. Rapp is sick. She told me to
come after you. She's home now all
alone" cried Margaret. And the doc
tor without word sped ahead of her.
She could hardly keep up with him.
They reached the house in a few
minutes and the doctor was seated
beside the bed looking very white
when Margaret got there.
What is it, Doctor?" asked Mar
garet very frightened.
"Why, Margaret, dear, the woman
is dead! She has died Of something
very unusual. She has just died. You
can plainly see that, poor woman"
calculated the doctor in answer to
Margaret's question.
Margaret broke down and cried till
the doctor thought her heart was 60
ing to burst.
A few moments after Margaret had
started crying, Shirley and Tom came
into the room. ooh, Mugsy! What's
the matter?" asked Shirley, and she
was down on the floor beside her
friend in no time.
"Hey! What's the matter with Mrs.
Rapp?" cried Tom, much taken .aback
at the sight of things. The doctor
told them everything and Shirley
chorused in with Margaret, by crying.
AS men never cry, Tom just tried to
comfort both the girls.
"Oh, Tom! and Shirley! nothing can
comfort me now. She was just like a
mother to me. I've lost the two dear
est people in my life now. Rose and
Mrs. Rapp. And they were my two
canes or crutches that helped me
through life!" Margaret paused and
then added, 81 have no one left in my
life to help me-"
Haven't you still Shirley and l,
dearest Mugsy?" asked Tom, hurt to
think she didn't think he wasn't her
help too.
Eyes, Tom, darling, you two are a
great help to me, especially now,
said Margaret.
After Margaret had been cOnsOled
and was feeling better they began to
look over Mrs. Rapps belongings.
She had a great deal of money and
they wanted to find something that
would tell them who was to have the
money. They were successful, for
Tom found a journal entitled, "Mrs.
Rapp's Journal"
This Tom began to read.

MASS. WORKERS GO
 0N STRIKE AS RESULT
 REDUCTION IN WAGES

BOSTON, Oct. 9. (P)-More than 25,0O0 jobs went begging in Massa- chusettS as workers, incensed by an announcement of a reduction in wages or unsatisfactory working conditions walked the streets.
 The strike movement centerS in the textile city of Lawrence where about 22,000 men and women left their looms and benches rather than to accept the 10 per cent re- duction in wages. The controversey spread to other centers. Tn Boston about 5000 longShoremen refused to handle a cargo on coastal and foreign vessels plying in and out of that port.
 The quarrel centered on working conditions in the textile city of Lowell, the geographical neighbor of Lawrence. Strike talk brewed for several days and was trans formed into action yesterday when more than 300 employees quit be- cause of the 10 per cent cut in wages.
 Mill owners contend that unless wages are reduced that their mills cannot survive because of ruin ous competition" from other cities where the working days are longer and the wages lower.
