Marking the Graves of Heroes Four thousand men of the American expeditionary force are searching for the graves of Americans who died in battle. According to press dispatches this search is a thorough one. No labor will be avoided in seeking where the heroes died and in marking their final resting place. Should the government at any time decide to bring, the boys back to American soil for interment in family burial places or in a national cemetery," no trouble will be experienced in locating them.' .. .The final resting place of heroes who sacrificed their lives in behalf of the republic is always surrounded with solemnity. Citizens of the republic look upon these places with the highest feeling of respect and pay to them the highest homage. Wayne County has a number of her young men included in the scroll of honor. It i3 a comfort to all who knew these young heroes to know that our government is fitly marking the spot where they died. April Fool Pranks . : The custom of playing April Fool jokes 13 an old one. The Romans are said to have had a semiholiday Saturnalia when humorous tricks were the fashion, but its date was not April 1. Jn Hindoostan there is a day dedicated to the fun makers "and it is on the evening of March 31, when even the white-robed Brahmans quit searching into the mysteries and play pranks on" each other. William S. Walt in his "Curiosities of Public Customs" gives the French credit (or the day. He says it started with the changing of the calendar setting New Year's day back from March 25 to January L Before the change was made,
the fun making culminated on the eve of April 1, when holiday gifts were given. After the change in time, only mock gifts were made on April 1 with the view to fool those who had forgotten the change in date. After this custom was started it was kept up even if the people forgot the origin of it. A number of references to April Fool's Day are found in English literature. Oliver Goldsmith played an April Fool's joke that has become a classic. Addison refers to it. It was known to the Puritans in our own country who disapproved its letity.
hibition seem to indicate pretty conclusively that the state is just as well off without saloons as it was at any time when they flourished. The men who formerly were employed in the liquor business have been absorbed In other in
dustries, and business enterprises say that labor
cannot complain of losing positions because of the change. The test of national prohibition is eagerly awaited by the whole country.

Boy in Five Years Becomes Nursery Operator

From garden club boy to operator of a plant nursery business in five years is a summary of what happened after James Spades got the initial momentum from winning a five-dollar bill as a prize in Brockton, Mass. The nursery business is of such proportions that a motortruck is required to handle it, but James, who 13 paying his way through high school and intends to study at the Massachusetts Agricultural college, still gives time to helpine other
boys start right in gardening. He was born in Italy. Five years ago he knew
nothing of gardening. In a letter to the United States Department of Agriculture he thanks the
boys' and girls club work for helping him to success.

A Year of Prohibition Prohibition has been tested for a year in Indiana and the opinion expressed by men in all walks of life, indicates that the state as a whole is satisfied with the experiment. Business showed no falling off and the wheels of industry revolved as busily as they did under the wet regime." Jails and work houses which formerly were filled with prisoners, many of whom were imprisoned because of intoxication or misdemeanor and felonies arising from over indulgence in intoxicants are surprisingly empty of occupants. It is not straining logic nor transgressing the boundaries of probability to say that this condition is attributable directly to the cessation of the liquor traffic in the Hoosier state. ' Even liberal minded people say they are wondering what the effect of national prohibition will be and are willing to see the nation give it a thorough-going test. The moral question involved in the liquor traffic needs no elucidation and the economic aspects as they reveal themselves in Indiana after one year of statutory pro-
John C. McPherson, who was county superintendent many years ago, was the man who originated the present plan of naming and numbering streets, says a Richmond "old-timer." The national capital, Washington, D. C, was from the first laid out with a system of streets somewhat like the plan adopted in Richmond, and McPherson had the idea in hia mind several years before he presented it to council.
Over a map of Washington which I
liung in his office, he spent many hours, and street by street worked out the plan. When he had it completed, he presented it to council in 1880. The city legislature quickly saw the benefits of lettered and numbered streets over the old and romantic, but confusing names, and the plan was adopted as McPherson first conceived it.

I write them first for my own benefit It helps me In my journey to talk with myself, because in doing so, I am trying to help YOU. I wonder If I am? TeU me! Perhaps there are many things I talk about that are of no interest to you. I hope not but how am I to know unless you tell me? Also, if there are things that you would like to have me talk about, why not tell me? Sometimes I get very discouraged and think that I shall not write these little talks any more. But when I think ot my great crowd of thousands upon thousands, I say that I will talk as long as anybody will read. But time and time again, I wish that I might have some kind of expression.

HIS IDEA OF DEADLY INSULT Birmingham Age Herald. In comparing Mr. Burleson to Wilhelm Hohenzollern, Mr. Mackay probably felt that he couldn't" possibly say anything worse about him.
HE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT BUSINESS Kansas City Star. Mr. Burleson's maxim is simply that if business interferes with politics, why business will just naturally have to be sacrificed.
Often at inspection it is customary for officers to pass by the sergeants, merely giving their equipment a casual glance, assuming, no dought, that as they are more experienced soldiers than the privates, their equipment is in proper condition. As a result of this it sometimes happens that the sergeants allow their rifles to get in rather poor shape. That some officers are alive to this is shown by a young second lieutenant, who, after examining a particulary dirty rifle, handed it back to the luckless private, remarking disgustedly, "Your rifle is dirty enough to be a sergeant's."

Russia No Home For Heroes
From the Chicago Tribune. MR. FRAZIER HUNT'S reports from Petrograd are giving Tribune readers the view of actual conditions in bolshevist Russia for which we have been waiting. The press reports .upon which we have had to rely for some time have been disconnected and unexplained. Many of them have seemed based upon wild rumors or have been open to the suspicion of partisan bias. Mr. Hunt writes from the ground, without bias. His picture is comprehensive and consistent After all, under any form of government we all need food, clothing, shelter, warmth, and a reasonable security of life. Lenine and Trotrky have had months of their dictatorship of the proletariat. They have done their best to wipe out their opponents of all varieties, and it
is worthy of the attention of American radical leaders
that had they themselves been in Russia and opposed to
Lenlne's theories or policies they would have been as ruthlessly slaughtered as any representative of plutocracy. Under this reign of blood drenched fanaticism, not only have Social Democrats, Mensheviks, Social Revolutionists of the right, been executed by the hundreds, and leaders of the people who were working for freedom in Russia long before Lenine was heard of, have been Imprisoned, oppressed, or slain, but even the "class cor.rclous proletariat," meaning the factory workers of the lty, which Lenine chiefly represents and appeals to, are turfering the miseries of starvation and destitution. ; No people is altogether exempt from this propaganda, even America, whose basic institution is universal fran
chise and whose prosperity is already widely distributed. It is true we need have no fear of Russia's fate, but woj
have need of correcting the abuses which have grown up under American conditions and of directing our progress wisely. What we are after in America is not the "dictatorship of the proletariat" or any other kind of dictatorship. We have no use for blind fanaticism. We have, through the ballot, the expression of a nation of free men and we can change what the majority does not approve. The chief task is to broaden the opportunities and raise the condition of the averageman and woman upon whose intelligence and welfare the progress of the nation rests. We ought to Insist upon better conditions of work and more opportunity for leisure, with better education to make the leisure wlrth while. Labor is demanding many things and many of them are right. But the best sign of the times is the growing recognition among em
ployers that capital must share more liberally with labor in both profits and responsibility. The latest Instance Is that of the Procter & Gamble company, which, on the occasion of its sixty-third semi-annual profit sharing meeting, announced the adoption of the eight hour day, with an increase in wages, and offered a plan by which three representatives of the employes are to be added to the board of directors. The tide, in fact, is running irresistibly toward a broader and happier democracy, and the man or woman who would turn to the destructive methods of extreme I
radicalism is very blind. We are going to solve our problems and dispose of our evils in our own way, which is not that of the machine gun and the torch. We know how
to progress without destroying the good things we have. We can go forward without blundering through famine, epidemic, cruelty, .class warfare, and despotism with a
noble name.

One of the militant euffragets who have been hanging around the White House and other presidential haunts admits that she is eighty years old, which admission makes her one of the most remarkable militant suffrrfgets in this or any other country not her age, but the fact that she admits it.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. Get a dozen eggs, a pumpkin pie, a loaf of bread, a pound of wieners, a cash register and a box of paper napkins and start a chain of restaurants. The public has learaed how to make this sort of business profitable. You can retail egg sandwiches at 20 cents each, giving you a profit of 350 per cent. By using a razor you can cut the pumpkin pie into twelve pieces and can retail the pieces at 20 cents; thus each pie will bring you $2.40, representing a profit of 1,000 per cent, as the original pie cost you 12 cents. You can get $1 out of every loaf of bread by serving two small slices of toast for 10 cents. It is being done every day, and so far as the fare is concerned the public simply eats it up.
After the first of July, we trust the village of Brandywine will change its name lb Sodapop or something that will sound legal.

I Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to' wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, s tomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store.
