Members and a t tendants of the several churches crowded the M . E . church building Sunday evening a t the union memorial service, the few remaining members of the local G. A.

Rev. H. C. Hayward , pastor of the Baptist church, chose as the subject of the annual Memorial Day address. "Remember ," basing his r emarks on a text f rom Ex. 13:3. Mr. Hayward ' s remarks held the close at tent ion of his audience. He said in par t :

"In consideration of the hour I am not unmindful of its importance and solemnity. I fail to find just the proper words tha t would best express my appreciation for this opportunity of saying a few words, expressing a nat ion 's gra t i tude for the self-sacrificing spiri t manifested by the heroes of 61-65.

OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY

CASS CITYITES MAKE MOST OF

HOLIDAY.

Many Unable to Get Standing Room

in Church to Hear Address of

the Day.

A more beautiful day for Memorial exercises never smiled on Cass City than did Monday and seldom has the day been more general ly observed. Hundreds joined in patriotic recog- nition of the event and beneath sunny skies Old Glory was displayed in f ront of every business place and many homes were decorated for the occasion. The Boy Scouts were in charge of the day's program and they are to be con- gra tu la ted on their a r rangements and the successful terminat ion of them.

The Presbyter ian church was unable to hold the large number tha t gathered to listen to the program which com- menced soon after one o~clock. Musi- cal numbers consisted of a chorus by the Camp Fire Girls and a vocal solo by Miss Anna Finkbeiner, both of which were greatly enjoyed. Rev. J. W. Hamblin, pastor of the Presbyteri- an church gave the add ~ss of the day. This was praised so hig. " by those who were privileged to he. it tha t the Chronicle is glad, for the be~ efit of the many who were unable to attend or secure a place in the church Mon- day, to pr in t the following summary :

Heroes and Ideals.

Venerable veterans, fellow citizens, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: On this day of sacred associations and hallowed memories the message which flames in my hear t can be summed up in two golden words, "He- roes and Ideals." Were I ~ selec£ a text it would be these words, "Lest we forge t" from Kipling's "Recess- ional," which seems pregnant with t ru th for such an occasion.

God of our fathers, known of o ld-- Lord of our far-flung ba t t le - l ine- - Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and p ine - - Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we fo rge t - - l e s t we forget!

The tumul t and the shouting dies The captains and the kings d e p a r t ~ Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice, An humble and a contri te hear t . Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we f o r g e t - d e s t we forget!

Far-cal led our nav ies .mel t a w a y ~ On dune and headland sinks the fire Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the Nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!

There are some things we expect to forget. There are many thirgs that by the Grace of God we hope to forget. But it is my conviction that if we are true Americans there are two things we shall • never forgetlhe Heroes of Blue and Gray, and the Ideals whichXthey helped to establish.

"Lest we forget" the heroes of '61 to '65. Is there any danger of for- getfulness? Superficial and shallow pessimists would make you believe that the children of today and tomorrow will forget these heroes, hut to my mind it is a false and ungrounded fear.' True it is that our youth are becoming a nation of money-getters. Many are in danger of becoming mere covetous machines. In some quarters patriotic ideals are perishing through materialism. But humanity hungers for heroes! Happy the nation that can bring up its children and youths in the memory of the noblest heroic ! deeds of patriots, statesmen and mar--[ tyrs. There is pathos in the thought[ that thousands of our heroic dead are 1 sleeping" in unknown graves, but it lit- I tle matters that their names are not[ known to us. Their names may not[ adorn history's list of heroes but the deeds they performed have been indel- ibly inscribed on the tablets of our

ROAD BEE DAYS Governor Asks Citizens to Improve

Highways June 10 and 11.

In compliance with a request of the legislature, Gee. Fer r i s has issued a proclamation set t ing June 10 and 11 as "road bee days," a t which t ime all dtizens of the s tate are expected to get out their shovels and picks and do wha t they can toward improving the h ighways of the state.

"While the s tate has aided in the building of some 3,500 miles of well constructed h ighways , and is plaa- ning to extend this Work very rapidly in the future ," says the proclamation, " the common dirt roads always will const i tute the g rea te r port ion of our road mileage, and they need constant a t tent ion to keep them even in such ~reasonably safe and passable condition' as the h ighway laws of Michi- gan require."

BLASTINO STUMPS° [ILOWN TO PIECES

RELATIVES MAKE GRUESOME

FIND SUNDAY.

James Upper, Sanilac County Farm-

er, Killed by Premature Ex-

plosion of Dynamite .

Relatives of James Upper , f a rmer near Melvin, Sanilac county, made a g.ruesome find Sunday af ternoon when par ts of l~is body, scattered about a field on his f a the r ' s farm, were found. Upper myster iously ctlsappeared two weeks before and the discovery Sunday solved the mystery .

Upper had gone out to blow up some stumps with dynami te and was himself blown to bits accidentally.

I t was first believed that Upper might have committed suicide as he h~d been in poor heal t~ but la ter re- ~orts set aside tha t theory. He was 27 years old and unmarr ied .

ADAMS-WHEELER WEDDING Former Bank Cashier of Cass City

Married at Kalamazoo.

A simple home wedding was celebrated Thursday evening a t the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Adams in West North street, Kalamazoo, when their daughter , Martha, became the bride of Claude Wheeler . The mar- r iage took place a t e ight o'clock in the presence of 25 re la t ives and inti- mate friends. Rev. Win. J. Campbell pastor of the F i r s t Congregat ional church, read the m a r r i a g e service.

Simplicity and in formal i ty charac- terized the weddin~ throughout . The bride wore a dainty gown of white crepe de chene with a bolero of lace. Her bouquet was of br ide 's roses and she was unat tended. J u s t preceding the service, Miss Lura Sloane sang one of Carrie Jacobs Bond's love songs.

The house was beaut i fu l ly decora ted for the occasion in a color scheme of pink and whi te effects. On the bride's table the centerpiece was an Empire basket filled with pinl/ roses. Pink shaded candles completed the effect. Throughout the other rooms pink roses were used, and dog- wood twined the staircase. Mr. Wheel- er and his bride lef t Thursday evening for a short wedding trip and after June 15 will be ~t home to their fr iends a t 813 Fer r i s Court, Kalama- zoo.

Both young people a re well known in Kalamazoo. The bride dttended the Kalamazoo public schools and is a g radua te f rom Parsons ' Business College. For the pas t five years she has been employed in the Kalamazoo City Savings Bank. The bridegroom, until a few weeks ago, held the posi- tion of ass is tant cashier in the Ex- change Ba~k of Eo H. P i t n e y & gon at Cass City. He is ~ow an employe in the office of the Henderson-Ames Co. at Kalamazoo.

FATS C:LAIM "GREAT Vi[ TOR¥"

SLIMS SAY GAME WASN'T

FINISHED•

One Thousand Spectators Enjoy the

Big Game of the Giants and

the Shadows.

The Fats claim a "grea t vic tory" in thei r game with the Leans Monday which was witnessed by a crowd es- t imated a t 1,000.

The game started at three o'clock (Mountain t ime) a f te rvar ious prelim- inaries not thought of before had been arranged.

The Leans went to bat first, wi th Bliss in the box for the Fats. The Leans smiled inwardly and outwardly and things looked exceedingly rosy for them tha t first inning. They clouted the ball, they stole bases, Leavens hit for two sacks, McCaslin made a three-bagger , ~,andon a home run; they tallied eight scores. Kelley, the catcher, made some nice throws to second, but Sandham, 'the Fa t ' s second sack holder, wore only two gloves and seemed unable with t ha t l imited equipment to hang on to many of the balls. Pinney made a nice steal home and was sent back to th i rd by the umpire because he failed to go back to the third sack af ter a foul tip. Eddie was quite provoked and said so too when McCaslin, his t eam mate, failed to get out of the bat ter ' s box long enough for him to walk back to the third sack.

Atwell , the Lean pitcher, failed to a r r ive by the t ime the Leans were to take the field, so E. W. Jones was persuaded to enter the ranks and pitched the game. The Fats, a t bat, were not so slow as many anticipated. They hit well, Crandell made two bases on a strike-out and five scores were recorded.

Only five men went to bat for t e Leans in the second period and no scores were made. The Fa t s were successful in scoring two.

In the third inning, the Leans added their last score. The Fats a t this time, had found themselves, and with renewed confidence, strove to outdo thei r record at their first t ime at bat. They succeeded and scored six runs. This broflght the total score 13 to 9 in favor of the heavy-weights.

A t the conclusion of the third inning, the Fats announced the intention of terminat ing the game as the h igh school boys desired the use of the grounds. Never were there nine more obliging men to be found. They had played hard, they were gatisfied with thei r victory, the hour was late. The slim contenders, on the other hand, maintained tha t the game was to run five innings and tha t their chances of outdoing their opponents were b l ight . But the Fats were satisfied and turned the grounds over to the high school teams for the Pigeon-Cass City game. As to the merits of the Fa t victory, one may secure decidedly opposing opinions by consulting members of the two teams.

Sensational fea tures were the one- hand catch of Leavens, the long slide to second by Crandell, I Wood beat ing the ball around the four bases and the base running of Bailey, Lee Dick- inson and Gen. Von Cootes.

Gee. Fer r i s Inves t iga t ing Case of

Convicted Ubly Doctor.

Nearly 200 physicians th roughout the state have wr i t ten Governor Fer- ris asking" him to extend executive clemency to Dr. Robert McGregor, who was sentenced to life imprison- ment a t Jackson in connection w i t h the myster ious poisoning of certain members of the Sparling fami ly in Huron county in 1912.

The supreme court passed upon the case and affirmed Dr. McGregor 's gui l t some t ime ago. Secre tary Aus- tin of the pardon board has wr i t t en to the jurors who sat in the McGreg- or case asking them whether Dr. Mc- Gregor was given a fair t r ia l and whether any new evidence had caused them to change their minds as to his guilt. Six have answered and none of the replies are favorable to Dro McGregor.

The doctor 's wife has made numer- o u s t r ips to Lansing and she is at- tempt ing to arouse sent iment in favor of her husband 's release.

A TOUGH SOLDIER. Wounds Seemed to Make Lord Napier

Lord Napier trod an ut ter indiffer. ence to wounds , and the wonder fu l celerity of his recovery makes an in t e r e s t i ng story. T w o of his wounds he had not cared to notice at all in his record of services fu rn i shed to Har t ' s a rmy list.

Jan . 12 fo l lowing he was severely wounded in t h e t renches , but he was able to march several hundred miles across the c o u n t r y and fight a t Gu j ra t one mon th later to a day.

He was s h o t in t he leg at the first r¢~ lief of Lucknow, but never the less rode out next day and brought in the rear guard, a f t e r which t h r o u g h o u t the blockade he did con t inuous and ard~j- ous service.

Men of Cuss City When a run-down salesman calls on you, do you buy his goods ? Aren't you[

afraid of his line because he looks as if no one ever gave him an order? Same thing is true of a seedy town. To be prosperous we must look prosperous

and show local pride. Clea~ streets, nice stores and well-painted buildings pay because they br ing

business. Paint-hungry buildings are least excusable, for paint made of

Eckstein White Lead ( D u t c h B o y P a i n t e r T r a d e M a r k )

and pure linseed oii pays its way by protecting buildings against rot and decay.

Let us estimate on your painting job. We have all good paint ing requisites. Call us up today.

PENROD B y B O O T H

T A R K I N G T O N

Copyright, 1914, by Doubleday, P ~ e @ Company

C H A P T E R V I i i . The Two Fami l ies.

D E N R O D never missed a murder ,

a hanging or an electrocut ion in the newspapers . He knew almost as much abou t Rena

Magswor th as her j u r y m e n did, though they sa t in a cour t room 200 miles away , and he had it in mind- - so f r ank he was - - to ask Roder ick Magswor th Bitts, Jr. , if the m u r d e r e s s happened ~o be a relat ive.

The present encounter , be ing merely one of apathet ic greet ing, did not af- ford the opportuni ty. P e n r o d took off his cap, and Roderick, s ea t ed be tween his mo the r and one of his g rownup sisters, nodded sluggishly, bu t nei ther Mrs. Magswor th Bit ts nor he r daugh- Cer acknowledged the sa lu ta t ion of the boy in the yard." T h e y disapproved of him as a person of l i t t le consequence, and tha t little bad. Snubbed, Penrod though t fu l ly res tored his cap to his head. A boy can be cu t as effectually as a man, and this one was chilled to a low tempera tu re . H e wonde red i f they despised him because they had seen a last f r a g m e n t of doughnu t in his hand; then he t h o u g h t t ha t pe r - haps i t was Duke who had disgraced him. Duke was ce r ta in ly no fashion- able looking dog.

The resi l ient spirits of youth , however, p resent ly revived, and, discover- ing a spider upon one knee and a beetle s imul taneous ly ~ upon the other, Pen- rod forgot Mrs. R o d e r i c k Magswor th Bitts in t he course of some experi- men ts inf r inging upon the domain of Dr. Carrel. Penrod 's efforts, with the aid of a pin, to effect a tr~ansference of living organism were unsuccessful , but he convinced h imsel f fo reve r tha t a spider cannot walk wi th a beetle 's legs. Della then e n h a n c e d zoological in te res t by deposit ing upon t h e back porch a la rge ra t t rap f rom the cellar, the prison of four live ra t s awa)t ing execution.

Penrod a t once took possession, retir- ing to the empty stable, w h e r e he in- stalled the rats in a smal l wooden box with a sheet of broken w i n d o w glass. held d o w n by a br ickbat , over the top. Thus the symptoms of the i r agitat ion when the box was shaken or hammer- ed upon Could be s tudied a t leisure. t ( l together this Sa tu rday was s ta r t ing splendidly.

Af te r a t ime the s tuden t ' s a t ten t ion was w i t h d r a w n f rom his specimens by a peculiar smell, which, be ing followed up by a sys tem of se lect ive sniffing, proved to be an emna t ion leaking into the stable from the alley. He opened the back door.

Across the alley was a co t tage which a thr i f ty neighbor had buil t on the rear line of his lot and r en t ed to ne- groes, and the fact t h a t a negro family was now in process of "moving in" was man i fe s t ed by the presence of a thin mule and a r amshack le wagon, the la t te r laden wi th the semblance of a stove and a f ew o the r unpre ten t ious household articles.

l i n g falsetto. i " W h a t ' s t ha t coon's name?" aske4

Penrod, : in tending:no discourtesy. "Aim gommo marne," said the small

darky. "Wb~t?" "Aim gommo marne.'" " W h a t ? " The small da rky looked annoyed. "Aim gommo marne, I hell you," h~.

'said impat ient ly . Pen rod conceived tha t insult was in-

rended. "Wha t ' s the m a t t e r of you?" he de~

manded, advancing. "You get fresl~ with me and I ' l l"--

" H y u h , White boy!" A colored youth of Penrod ' s own age appeared in the doorway of the cottage. "You let 'a t bro thuh mine alone. He ain' do noth- ~n' to yOU."

"Well, why can ' t he answer?" "Re can' t . He can ' t talk no bet ter 'n

w h a t he was talkin'. He tongue tie." "Oh!" said Pem'od, mollified; then,

obeying an impulse so universal ly [ a roused in the h u m a n breast under I like c i rcumstances t h a t it has become a quip, he tu rned to the afflicted one.

"Ta lk some more," he begged eagerly. "I hoe you ackoom aim gommo

marne," was the prompt response, in

"You get fresh wi th me and I'11"--'

which a slight ostentat ion was mani- fest. Unmis takab le tokens of vani ty had appeared upon the small, swart countenance .

" W h a t ' s he mean?" asked Penrod, enchanted .

" H e say he tole you 'a t coon ain' got n o name."

'%Vhat's your name?" " I 'm name Herman. ; ' " W h a t ' s his name'?" Penrod pointed

to the tongue tied boy. "Verman. Was th ree us boys in ow

fam'ly. . Ol'est one name Sherman. 'N 'en come me; F m Herman. 'N 'en come him; he Verman. Sherman dead. Verman, he de littles' one."

"You goin' to live here?" "Umhugh . Done move in f 'm way

oaten on a fahm." He pointed to the north with his

r ight hand. and Penrod 's eyes opened wide as they followed the gesture. H e r m a n had no forefinger on tha t hand.

"Look there!" exclaimed Penrod. "You haven ' t got any finger!'.'

"I m u m map," said Verman, wi th egregious pride.

"'He done 'at." interpreted Herman, chuckling. "Yessuh, done chop 'er spang off long 'go. He's a playin' wi t a ax. an' I lay m y fingu.h on de do' sill, an' I say, 'Verman, chop 'er off!' So Verman he chop 'er r ight spang off up to de roots! Yessuh."

'%Vhat for?" "Jes ' to' nothin ' ." " R e hoe me hoe." remarked Verman. "Yessuh, I tole him to," said Her-

man, "an' he chop 'er off, an' ey ain ' t a i ry oth' one evuh grow on whores de ole one use to grow. Nosuh!"

" B u t wha t 'd you tell him to do it for?"

"Nothin ' . I j e s ' s am it 'at way- -an ' he jes ' chop 'er off!"

Both brothers looked pleased and proud. Penrod 's profound interest was f lat ter ingly visible, a tribute to their unusualness .

, , , , , Aw r i , . said Herman . "Ow sistuh Queenie, she a growed up woman; she got a goituh."

I "Got a wha t?" "Goituh. Swellin' on her neck--grea '

was rewarded by a fine view of Queen- ie's goiter. Re had never before seen one, and only the lure of further con- versat ion on the par t of Velmaan brought him f rom the window.

"Verman say tell you 'bout pappy," explained Herman . "Mammy an' Queenie move in town an' go git de house all fix up befo' pappy git out.,'

"Out of where?" ".Tail. Pappy cu t a man, an' de po-

lice done kep' him in jail evuh sense Chris-mus time, but dey goin' tuhn him loose ag'in nex' week."

" W h a t ' d he cut the other man wi th?" "Vfif a p i tchfawk."

Penrod began to feel tha t a l i fet ime spen t with this fasclnati~]g fami ly were all too short. The brothers, gtow~ ing with amiabili ty, were as enraptur- ed as lie. For the first t ime ]n the i r lives they moved in the rich g lamour of sensationalism. He rman was prod-

and Verman, chuckl ing with delight, ta!ked fluently, though somewha t con- scious]y. The3, cheerful ly agreed . to keel) the raccoon al;'emly beginning to be mentioned as "our 'coon" by 'Pen- r(M--in Mr. SchoP:cld's empty stable, and when the animal had been chain- ed to the wall near the box of ra ts and supI)lied with a pan of fair wa t e r they assented to their new fr iend's suggestion (inspired by a fine sense of the a r t i s t i c lmrmonies) tha t the here- tofore nameless pet be chris tened Sher- man. in twnor of the i r deceased rela- tive. •

At this junc tu re was heard f rom the f ront yard the sound of tha t yodel ing whi(-h is the t)-~culiar accompl ishment of those whose voices have not "cl mn~ed." Penrod yodeled a response, and Samuel Williams appeared, a large bundle under his arm.

"'Yay, I ~n od. was ills greeting, cas- ual enough from without ; bu t , having entered, im stoPI)ed short and emi t t ed

~i " p , a l)rodigious whistle. Ya-a-ay. he then shout(~l. "Lool~ at the 'coon!"

"l guess you better say, 'Look at the coon'.' " Penrod returned proudly. • "Thcy's a vood deal more'n him to look at too. Tnlk some. Verman." Verman ,'o m plied.

Sam was warmly interested. " W h a t ' d you say his name waS?" he asked.

" ' V e r l n t ! n . "

" t tow d'you spell i t?" "V-e-r-m-a-n," replied Penrod, hav ing

previously received this in fo rmat ion ['l'olll llerman.

"Oh!" said Sam. "Point to sumpthing, He rman , " Pen-

rod commanded, and Sam's exc i tement , when Herman pointed was sufficie~at to the occasion.

l 'enrod, the discoverer, cont inued his exl)loitation of the manifold wondera of the Sherman, H e r m a n and Verman collection. With the air of a proprietor he escorted Sam into the alley for a good look at Queenie (who seemed not to care for her increasing celebrity) and I)rocee(led to a d ramat ic c l imax-- the recital of the episode of the pitch- fork and its consequences.

The cumula t ive effect was enormous, ~md (:ould have but one possible result . Tim normal boy is a lways a t leas t o n e half Barnum.

"Let 's get up a SHOW!" Poured and Sam both claimed to

have said it first, a question lef t un- settled in the ecstasies of hurr ied prep- aration. The bundle under Sam's arm, brought with no definite purpose, proved to have been an inspiration. I t consisted of broad sheets of light yel- low wrapping paper, discarded by Sam's mother in her spring house- cleaning. There were half filled cans and buckets of paint in the s toreroom adjoining the car r iage hou~e and present ly the side wall of the stable f lamed informat ion upon the passerby f rom a grea t and spreading poster.

"Publici ty," pr imal requisite of all theatrical a n d amphi thea t r ica l enter- prise thus provided, subsequent ar- rang'ements proceeded with a fu ry of energy which t r ans fo rmed the e m p t y hayloft . True, it is impossible to say jus t w h a t the hay lo f t was t rans formed into. but histoLv war r an t ab ly clings to the s t a t emen t t ha t it was t rans- formed.

I t was regre t fu l ly decided in council tha t no a t t empt be made to add Queen ie to the list of exhibits, her brothers wa rmly declining ~to act as ambassadors in t h a t cause. They w e r e cer ta in Queenie would not like the idea, they said, and Herman pictur- esquely described he r act ivi ty on oc- casions when she had been annoyed by too much a t tent ion to her appear- ance. However , Penrod ' s disappoint- men t w a s al leviated by an inspira t ion which came to him in a m o m e n t of pondering upon the dachshund, and the ent ire par ty w e n t for th to add an en- riching line to the poster.

A Pointed Retort. After the bat t le of Denain. in which

he had lost an arm, one of Marshal Villars' braves t officers presented a pe tition to Louis XIV.-sol ic i t ing a pen- sion by way of recompense for []is servi,es. The king took the paper and. according h) his wont. replied tha t he would see about it.

They Keep the Keys. Visitors to T a n ~ e r and other settle-

These keys belong to the houses in Spain once occupied by the Moors before their expulsion from their homes many centur ies ago. The Spaniards occupy these old houses, but the descendan t s of the Moorish owners still gua rd the keys in the hope that the day wil l come when they can re- tu rn to Granada and once more resume control of the proper ty f rom which they w e r e driven.

A wrong' impression was gained by a few who attended the ball games Monday afternoon. According to reports, some thought both games were to be free and a few were provoked when admission was asked for the second contest. The Fat and Lean game was an entirely distinct proposition f rom the high school game. The athletic associat ion of the high school had to meet the expenses of the vis- i t ing team and asked an admission to cover the amount. Promoters of both games regre t that any misunder- standing resulted, but are sure that nearly all comprehended t h e situa- tion.

" I would like to see more care dis- plased in the operation of automobiles within the village limits," said J. A. Renshler to the ~Chronicle the other day. "Turning around in the center of the block and parking machines on

t h e wrong side of the s treet are entirely unnecessary. All automobiles should be parked with tk~ r ight hand side to the curb. That is to say, t h a t any machine left standing on any street should stand with its r ight hand side to the Curb and as near the curb as it can reasonably be placed. An auto driver desiring to turn his machine in the opposite direction should drive to the corner before a t tempt ing to do so. The observance of these simple rules and the elimination of speeding would make motor driving much safer and

ter, Mildred, and Mr. and Mrs. W. J. more pleasant for all concerned." Monroe and son, Frederick, spent Sun- More Locals on Pa~e Eiflht. day at Kingston.

by time, stained with blood, torn by strife, riddled with bullets, I firmly believe t h e y would preach a more powerful and a more impressive sermon than the most eloquent silver tongued orator.

In reading the text we are reminded of one of the darkest t ragedies in human history, when the avenging angel passed over the Jewish homes tha t awful night in accordance with Divine commands. I need not t a r r y to tell the awful scenes and experiences of ~hat far off night. We read in this Holy Book that from tha t night all down through their long and varied history they have kept wha t they call the Passover, a yearly reminder of God's deliverance of the people who complied with His command. So important was this event tha t Moses bade them not to forget the day of their deliverance. Beloved, as that day was the Jewish Passover, so 1861 was our Passover when God through the agency of these l brave men before us saved our country. I believe with all my hear t tha t our republic is jus t as precious in the sight of God as ancient Israel and our history is just as sacred as theirs.

"Our Forefathers founded this government upon the proposition tha t a l l men were born f ree and equa ! , and our fa thers fought in , the Civil War to prove that a government so conceived could pe~Tnanently endure. On tha t awful day when war was declared, a wrong was forever r ighted. This I believe to be the verdict of all civilized countries. None can deny but tha t the Civil W a r was the greates t conflict and the most glorious victory recorded in the annals of man. I t is not only a duty, but a blessed privilege to remember that day when the awful curse of slavery was forever abolished f rom this fair and highly favored nation.

"Every nation has one or more memorial days on which the people recall some great victory, some narrow escape, some Divine interposition, some peculiar blessing. I t is a poor

people indeed tha t know no such holy days. We Americans have some days perhaps not so many as other people which we mark in our calendar and keep in a manner appropriate to the occasion.

"We have 300 days dedicated to the pursuit of wealth, and the piling up of treasure, the whirIing of spin- dles, to the noise of shop and factory, but we have only six days dedicsted to the things of the spirit. We keep Washington's b i r thday in memory of our first president, we celebrate Lin- coln's birthday, for we regard him as the savior of our country. We make a holiday of the 4th of July for tha t is the date Of our national indepen- dence. We have Thanksgiving day on which we recall the kind benefactions of our Heavenly Father so bountiful- ly bestowed upon us during the past year. As Christians we keep Christ- mas as the b i r thday of our Blessed Lord.

"We celebrate the 30th of May in commemoration of the Civil War, as a yearly reminder of the great sacri- rices of American patriots. In looking over the daily papers I notice tha t the theatre advertises great dis- plays in memory of tha t day. I See the base ball r ing expects many thousand spectators in memory of tha t day. But how few of the churches have set apar t this day in memory of the Army dead.

" I s it a fact tha t it has become so tasteless a theme, so worn and t r i te that our church, who dur ing the days of s t ruggle were urging men to go forth, hes i ta te to keep green the memory of tha~ day of sacrifice. Who says tha t Moses' warning to the children of Israel should not be re- called in this our day when the mind of man is so concer~ed about the problems of today tha t we fo rge t some of the most impor tant events in history. Often have I stood with tear stained eye, while some grey haired veteran has tried to picture before my mind those days when many of our churches were used as recruit ing stations. How pathet ic were those scenes when men amid song and tears and women's prayers marched down the aisle and with t rembling hand signed their names.

"I am told tha t since those days over eight million foreign-born lovers of liberty have come to these shores and I hardly need tell you of the grea t host of children tha t have been born in this country since those war days. Is it not needful to tell this grea t host of immigrants and children of the price paid for liberty. I am told tha t there were evils, the result of the war, entailed upon our social condition. So there were, but shall we close our eyes to the good tha t resulted from the war ? I am told tha t

never in t h e history of our nat ion were the churches so well at tended, or prayer meet ings so powerful and pathetic as during the war. Never was the negro so welt behaved, or woman so majest ic and potential as she began to be during the war.

"Reo.~rdle~.~ of what some feather 'neadeu politicians are saying . . . . . American wealth, it will b e well to remember tha t American wealth was not behind in their response to the nation's need. Space will not allow me to mention the many names who so willingly and liberally poured out their gold to help save our country, May God forgive the man who has nothing but unkind words' for the men of wealth; and I believe today if war was again sounded we would see the fair hands of fashion sewing ban- dages~ the silly dude and dandy marching with the hard handed mechanic for the defense of the i r country. Beloved, the C iv i l War is over, but I am reminded of a greater war now in progress that demands strong men, not simply strong men physically but strong men morally to fight the awful sins of our beloved land. I plead with you to enlist in God's great army; fight the g~eat evils of today. I thank God for the men who suffered that pos ter i ty might rejoice. For the men who bled that liberty migh t be perpetual. For the men who died that our nat ion might live."

WHAT BENJAMIN F R A N K L I N SAID

one hundred and fifty years ago is good today. " ,Tis better to spare and have than to spend and crave." Does any one doubt the wisdom of his words? Look around you today and you will see on every side examples of men who during their working years spent their incomes regardless of the future, and now in thei r declining years they are in some need. Take the lesson and open a saving account at our bank now. One dollar will s tart it.

This life is but a changeless rut Wherein we share a common lot;

I t is the same for all of tin. Doors are held open; then are shut;

I t 's really monot- onous.

~r'ee learned to write It 1912; Next year the same mistakes we shall

Make ere we've journeyed on this far. With weariness again we shelve

The gay insurance calendar.

The Christmas bills are .mostly paid, And, as of old, we now ceJmmence

To think of Eas ter hat and dress; The usual remarks are made

About attire 's expens- i.veness.

Full soon folk will be leaving town, For fashion then will bid them come

.'Where gaiety is qutie the thing. The mercury, whieh~ now is down,

,nVill, like all else, be sum- mering.

And then will come the daYs of fall When sudden frosts will bite r ight in

And sting us like an arrow's barb The while they suddenly recall

To us the thought of winter garb.

And so our lives go round and round~ Returning to the selfsame spot,

Through the same times of peace and fuss.

The same old silence, same old sound-- I t ' s really monot-

onous.

"The

d

t i e r Car" /

a Blindfolded today without

man would looking the

buy an automobile Maxwell over

There's no excuse today for any man who is "jollied" into buying a car before he looks o v e r the 1915 Maxwell.

We give you the two vital th ngs that have made the 1915 Maxwell the

in this Maxwell Car and then the 17 most talked-ab0ut car ever produced.

n e w f e a t u r e s

Here are tIae two vital things that any sane man wants when he buys an automobile

In the flr~t place ~ a handsome, real automobile that

he can be proud to ride in.

In the second place ~ a powerful, fast, economical auto-

mobile that will take him anywhere and bring him back.

We give you these two vRal things, and then just about every other detail of re- finement, comfort and endurance that you can think of.

Take power and hilLdlmb~ng abtlRy, for example--when you buy a 1915 Maxwell you buy an exact duplicate of the stock Maxwell cars in which "Wild Bill" Turner and "Billy_" Carlson broke two World's Reo cords in two of the toughest, roughest moun-

taln hill-cllmbs ever made--Mr. Hamikon and Mr. Wilson.

Take speed and endurance, for e x a m p l e ~ when you buy a Maxwel~ you buy a car made by the same designers~the same chief engi: neer~from thee same Maxwell Laboratory, heat-treated, tested stee~ that was used in the Maxwell Racers h~ which Barney Oldfleld and "Billy" Carlson both broke the 300- mile non-stop race records in Corona and San Diego.

Read Thls List of Expensive Features. The 1915 Maxwell Ha8 These Features And 1Y~any Other~. Attraetlve Streamline Body pull the car out of any mud or sand. The Maxwell Low " U p - k e e p " Carbure to r ant ridin'g" qualities of the Ma~welI." 5~he spring

Mr. Gark, who will soon be 92 years old, joined the local Odd Fellow lodge in 1881 and was also a member of Venus rends Rebekah lodge.

OBSERVANCE OF 3{EMORIAL DAY

Continued from first page. hearts, and our children will learn these facts, and their children, and

~i~e distant day wiii respon d wi~h a new and nobler patriotism.

Today there are two divisions of these heroes one of the living the other of the dead; one encamped on the shores of time one on the plains beyond the river. The one that has crossed over is much the larger of the two, and its ranks are daily being re- inforced. The veterans of '61-'65 are a vanishing host. One by one they are challenging the picket post of Death, and are passing through the Wilderness to the Richmond beyond. Captains and generals have heard the bugle call and have led the way. And one by one the rank and file, the men who touched elbows through dust and mud and bloody field of carnage, the men who fought their way under brassy skies and amid the sulphur smoke, the men who saw their com- rades fall about them while cannon roared and sabres flashed these men are moving across to the Division Be- yond. Soon the last man will have gone to the last Grand Encampment .

I t is a long way back to the t ime when the beardless youth took the last fond glance about the old place, the last drink from the old well, kissed mother 's lips a n d ' w i t h a wr ing f rom fa ther ' s hand, and a "God bless you, nay boy," marched down in the~+line of blue tha t went to meet the line of gray. The "Eas t and West Ballad" may well suggest the spiri t of tha t day if we change it to r e a d - -

"Oh, North is North, and South is South, and never the twain shall meet,

Till ear th and sky stand present ly at God's grea t Judgmen t Seat;

But there is neither North nor South, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,

,When two strong men st~ind face to face, tho' they come f rom the ends of the earth."

Yes, fifty years ago this nation was ablaze with war. Men who were brothers in blood and language and fai th faced each other in mortal com- bat. But the war is over. The breach is healed. The nation is saved. Liberty is enshrined. Slavery is ob- l i terated. Boys of blue and g ray dwell together in peace and unanim- ity. There is no longer any North or South. As we stand in reverance by the tombs of our migh ty dead let us not forget the lessons, the cosmic t ruths, the primal principles which are incarnate in these little groups of marching veterans!

Fifl?y years of peace and national safety have g i v e n us ample opportuni ty to glean many lessons f rom the lives of our heroes. One such lesson ought not to be omitted. Great Bless- ings demand a Great Price! Things worth while cost u s something. I have never noticed tha t the best things in life can be plucked with little effort from the trees tha t branch over the walks. Would you have a rich voice with which to soothe and charm the heavy hearts of human i ty? You must pay the price in years of study and practice! Would the young man have a character tha t sparkles Iike a rich jewel? He must pay the price by thinking pure thoughts, speaking golden words of hope and love and daily communing with the Divine Architect of the Universe! And in a large sense if the nation would enjoy the blessings of liberty, ~and would experience the s t rength of unity it must pay the price in the life-blood of her patriots! Thank God the price of union has been paid! The Chinese have a legend which tells how the potter desired to color his vase with a shade of matchless and incomparable beauty. He tried various elements but they failed to produce the lasting color. Degrees of heat did not give the desired tint. Final ly in despair the potter cast himself into the blazing caldron, when from such a deed a wonderful color was burned upon the vase, and through the ages it became the type of matchless beauty. Thus the pottei. won his immortal i ty . Think o- a million boys who shed their blood upon the ground, and lay dead under the stars! I t makes a black prbblem hard to solve. And the explanation is tha t the boy died tha.t slaves migh t live, and liberty be established. And in the life beyond, if the one million soldier boys who died in the Civil War ever find the three million slaves whom they redeemed, each boy can say, These three slaves are mine. I died tha t they might live," and in tha t hour Liberty, God's dear child, will claim the youth as her own.

Ifi the second place, "Les t we forget" the ideals which these heroes helped to establish. I do not say these were national ideals before the Civil War, but I claim~that by the war they were established so that today there is no question as to their national character . I refer to the i dea l s~de - mocracy, common humani ty , interna- tional peace, and patriotism.

By democracy we mean the reign of the people over themselves as op- posed to the rule of king or czar. The genius of democracy is all the citizens for each man, and each man

for all the citizens. In a true democracy, the will of the people rules the land as the will of God rules the stars. The words of the immortal Lincoln suggest this ideal when he said, "Four score and seven years

~hi~ continent a new nation conceived in l iberty and dedicated to the proposition tha t all, men are created free and equal." Not "equal in property, weal th or abil i ty" for a glance re- veals this not the case, a knowledge of h is tory shows it never was the case and an unders tanding of human na- tu re declares it never will be the ,case. But all, whether rich or poor, h~ve equal i ty before the law. We ack- nowledge no "divine r ight of kings." We confer no t i t les of nobility. We recognize no ar is tocracy ,save t h a t of bra ins and indust ry and personal mer- it.

Democracy will mean equality of opportuni ty. All highways to knowledge, office and honors must be open to all young feet. Jackson, Lincoln and Garfield can rise from the soil and enter the White House. Educa: t ional democracy through the common school makes for equality of oppor- tun i ty in "free schools." The schoolhouse must fling wide its door for th~ banker 's child and the washerwoman's too. There mus t be no favorites. Pover ty must never withold from the h ighes t honors in the class. Democra- cy makes for the nation the voluntary principle in religion. Every man his own priest and bishopbefore God. Our land knows no state church. All poe-' ple mus t be left f ree to worship God in their own way. Let us thank God tha t the heroes of yesterday helped make the spirit of democracy permanent in our land! , f

A second ideal is tha~ of the spirit of common humani ty . Social sympa- thy. Social consciousness. A brotherly co-operation. I t was this ideal which compelled the abolition of slavery. In- spired by this ideal Jacob Riis worked for the regulat ion of tenements and the construction of public playgrounds in New York City. And it is this ideal which makes for the prohibition of child labor, for the solution of the labor problem and for the building of hospitals, l ibraries and orphanages. Because of this ideal our interest in troubled Mexico did not center in lands or proper ty but rather in the lives of humanity. The humani tar ian spir i t thrives in our beloved land. Shall we fail to remember a national ideal of such far - reaching influence ?

But today another ideal is before our minds. Our heroes of ye s t e rday t augh t us the value of Peace. Now the un i t ed States is the leader in the in the movement for Internat ional Peace. The former cry was "in times of peace prepare for war ;" but n o w the slogan is "in t imes of war prepare for peace." Such men as William H. Taft , Alton B. Parker , Theodore Roosevelt and our President Woodrow Wilson are advocates of Internat ional Peace mainta ined by means of a court of nations. The two reasons aga ins t war are the tremendous cost and the awful druelty. I t is almost impossible to have any adequate idea of wha t the wars of history have cost, and today we are appalled as we think of the war debts of the European nations. But the present struggle speaks loud and clear of the cost in lives, in destruct ion of cities, in loss of sacred relics, in tears of women and children and the loss o f s ter l ing manhood. Of course there are those who s a y - - w a r mus t cont inue . - When the populace cried for "Bread and Games" in ancient Rome there were those who s a i d ~ " t h e gladia tor ia l shows" must ever be. But the day came when the spectacle was no more. There was a day when leading statesmen feared to f ree slaves in our land, and when they even suggested "the Missouri Com- promise" but today we see no more slavery. And I have faith enough in the Providence of God to believe tha t the Era of Peace will one day be ushered in. Let us thank the Gracious Master Builder tha t Our Nation has" builded along such lines, and tha t our lot is cast in a land of peace!

Finally, we must not forget that Pa- t r iot ism is an ideal of the united Nor th and South. "Love of Country" is a g rea t sentiment. In our hearts we cherish a g rea t loyalty for our country 's flag. I t appeals to us as the emblem of the best country the sun ever shone on. There are those who would belittle patr iot ism as a species of selfishness, and proclaim the cos- mopoli tan as the ideal citizen. But in pract ical life, God alone is able to love everybody alike. The cosmopolitan who thinks he can love every land has been likened to a comet, at home ev- e rywhere and of no use anywhere. No nation has a his tory more inspiring. No nat ion has heroes more noble. F rom the day of Columbus to the day when the Mayflower landed at P lymouth Rock; f rom Washington, " the first in peace," to Lincoln, " the Savior of his country" our nation's s tory tells of the bri l l iant achieve- ments of her patr iots , heroes, and mar tyrs . We love the story! We reverance the heroes! We salute the flag! We renew our patr iot ic ardor! But above all we gra te fu l ly recognize the goodness of Him who "hath made and preserved us a nation."
