Library Notes
MEMO DAY

Our American holiday, known
as Memorial or Decoration Day,
is a holiday growing, most nat
urally, out of the American Civil
war, or, as some people prefer
to call it, "the war between the
states"
The custom of decorating
soldiers graves was begun by
the southern women, who, be-
fore the close of the war, be-
gan laying flowers on the graves
of the soldiers of the north,
as we'll as those of the south.
Three years after the close of
the Civil war, 1868, in May,
General John A. Logan, at that
time commandments of the
American army, sent out an Or
der that the 30th day of May be
set apart as a day Strewing
flowers on the soldiers graves.
Now every state in the Union
sets aside a day to commemor-
ate the services of the soldiers
and sailors in the Civil war and
since 1898, of those in other
wars. In most states it is the
30th of May.
AS every holiday created by
the powers that be-" thrusts
a certain measure of RESPONSE
bility upon us as American citi-
zens. It behooves us to pause
and ask ourselves what we are
doing to keep Memorial Day
each in his or her own individ-
ual capacity. Should we not
observe this day, of all others
soberly and solemnly?
It is certainly a day for pat
riotic feelings, a day to revere
the memory of those who kept
our nation a united whole. W.
are proud of them and of Their
deeds. Let us then, on this day
if never again, honor them in
every dignified way which we
can invent,

the increase to commercial

However, Isaac said, there still

increased production would aid

The u. S. Department of Agri-

mand for farm products was ex-
pected to reach a high level
this month in response to the
generally improved economic
conditions.
The department said the
trend of agricultural exports,
sharply downward in 1910, ap-
parently was being reversed this
year, although a return to the
pre-war volume was not in pros
pect.
Government purchases under
the lend-lease and food-for-

for much of the current upward
