IN HONOR OR VETERANS

The National Memorial Day sees
millions of burial spots blossoming
forth with flowers, in token of honor
and affection, and a similar picture
is presented in the states observing
the Confederate Memorial Day. These
scenes, regarded by some as melan-
eholy, take on an air of radiance and
festivity. This occasion has now be-
come the time for decorating the
graves of veterans of all wars.
. The custom of decorating soldiers
graves originated in southern locali-
ties after the War Between the
States. In strewing flowers on the
Confederate dead, many of the un-
marked resting places of the Union
soldiers were also remembered. In
1868 General John A. Logan, Com
mander in Chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, ordered that every
post of that organization should
scatter tokens of respect over the
resting places of their comrades in
arms.
With the parades of organizations,
ranging from reVered and fading
veterans of the War Between the
States, to the stalwart men of the
World War, and the Boy Scouts and
allied groups, the spectator can not
fail to be moved, whether by the
small groups of a village, or the
thousands seen in city streets.
On Memorial Day spots sacred to
loved ones are decked. The children
will not forget so readily when they
are given an opportunity to lay some
token on the grave of one of their
circle. Maeterlincks BLUE Bird
suggests that our beloved dead live
again when we remember them.
Often our cemeteries are visited
on this day by people who live in
other places. Their footsteps stray
around the peaceful scene, recalling
many friends of former day. Per-
haps the sight of the flowers making
radiant these resting places will /
waken in us the confidence that |
gloom and sadness are but transit
tofy-that Joy cometh in the morn |
ing''.

A New Canning industry


Herring are being caught in large
quantities in Indian River and Her
ring Creek. A great many of them
are being sold to canning houses in
Maryland for $1.25 per thousand
the most valuable part is the roe
the rest of the fish is put in a pickle
for few days and then prOcessed in
cans. Those who have eaten them
after being canned could hardly be-
lieye a herring could be made so
palatable.
John w. Phillips and Walter c.
Phillips of this place have been
drawn as petit jurors for the June

a flood. Huge drifts are piled
along many of the highways.

done by the storm in this sec

it will run into hundreds of thou.
