SOLDIER BOYS SHOULD TURN OUT MEMORIAL DAY

All soldiers of the world war should be in uniform Sunday, Me- ' morial day, to aid the old soldiers in preserving the sacredness of the day and to pay their respect to a fallen comrade whose remains are to be laid to rest in Weston cemetery that afternoon. Memorial day, coming as it does on, Sunday, will take on an added reverence and there is small doubt but that the services next Sunday wiM be the most beautiful Memorial services ever held in the city. The American Legion will have charge of the burial services and it is a safe guess that there will be at least one hundred soldiers in uniform that day. The officers of the Legion are making every effort toward assembling enough ex-eol-diers to make a full company. Guns have been secured for the occasion and the city will take on the military appearance of war days. Commander D. H. Yeoman and Adjutant W. H. Wood of the Civil war veterans will lead the boys in blue, whose ranks have been growing thinner year by year. The appearance of these veterans never fails to make the hearts of all swell with pride, and if the youths of the world war will do their part Sunday the city and county will have much of which to be proud.
