Memorial Day Call This Year

Memorial day this year is fraught with deep

er interest' and pathos than "any preceding one since the nation first dedicated May 30 to the memory of the departed soldiers of the Republic. In the last year more than 50,000 graves of

brave1 American boys who died for the cause of human liberty on European soil have been added

to the long list of the burial places of the veterans of -the -Civil war. ; 1

. ...This suggests a common interest of the vet

erans of the Civil war, the Spanish-American war and the soldiers of the American Legion in

the ceremonies of Memorial day. The fighters of these three wars fought for a democratic ideal

and for the, perpetuation of liberty on earth Surely," the 'day has an exalted meaning and tender memories for aU of them.

It is pleasing- to know that the veterans of

these three wars share a common feeling of rev

erence for their departed companions and will

pay their tribute of love and homage on that day

The Spanish-American war veterans and the soldiers of the World War in Wayne county will participate in the ceremonies honoring the departed heroes of the CivU war. This is fit and proper, a commendable spirit for the young veterans to show toward the old fighters. William F. Medsker, Indiana state commander of the G. A. R., in his first general order, suggests that., the young veterans of the two wars join in the memorial services of the Civil war heroes. His request is a touching appeal that will find a warm response everywhere in Hoosierdom. . "It should be the duty and privilege of the

Comrades' of the Grand Army of the Republic and

the members of its allied organizations," says the order, "to see that the graves of soldiers of all wars, including the Revolutionary war, the war of the Indian wars, the Mexican war, the War of the Rebellion, the Spanish-American war and the World war just closed should be decorated in this, our Memorial day. "We would ask that the surviving soldiers of all wars join with us in the memorial service and assist us in -decorating the graves of all soldiers." Apropos of Memorial Day in 1919 and the changed conditions that attend it, is a message which Dr. Lewis S. Pilcher, department commander of the G. A. R. of the state of New York, has addressed to his comrades, in which he points out that the younger veterans will in the span of a few years carry on the task of honoring the memory of the nation's departed soldiers. His message breathes a spirit of solemnity and charm that will appeal to every old soldier and young veteran. He says: "For 50 years the citizens of the United States the whole country over, have been observing May SO as a day set apart, to be sacred to the memory of the men who died in the defense of -their, country during the war for the preservation of the union in '61-65. As years have gone on 'there have been added to those thus

commemorated the rapidly increasing number of their comrades who in later years, have also gone to join the ranks of the Grand Army above. "These days have been days that have contributed very markedly to the increase and spread of. the spirit of patriotism in the hearts of all as they have witnessed the annual parade of the rapidly thinning ranks of the men of the Sixties which has emphasized the value of that Union, typified by the Stars and Stripes, for the preservation of which they fought. "One of the problems which has been in the

mind of these old veterans in recent years nas been: How should these services, so full of in

spiration and so precious in their nature, be carried on after the old veterans had all gone? Such questions are being answered today in a way which until yesterday no one would have dreamed. The natural successors in spirit and in action

of the veterans of the Grand Army of the Six-, ties are the younger veterans who have recently t

returned from the battlefields of Flanders and of;

France, who are still daily landing on our shores;

to join with them to commemorate, not only those who fought for the Union 50-odd years ago, but also in memory of those who so recently have died in transatlantic fields or in the camps of concentration at home. "There are more than 50,000 graves of the newer comrades which invite this service. What more lovely thing have all the years of the past witnessed than the events of its Memorial Days!

What influence has contributed more to the deepening and broadening of the foundation of the life of the nation than the sentiments of these Memorial Days ! It is a kind of service which should be sacredly guarded and perpetuated, and now this present year, as our younger veterans are still wearing the uniform to which they have brought such glory, then may equally accept the opportunity to join in the observance of this day and plan for its perpteuation. This service, most tender and most precious, may be extended so as to hold within its folds the honor of all who in any generation and upon any field of battle have hazarded their lives in defense of their country."

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAM8' DAILY TALK ON DELIVERING YOURSELF ' When a salesman goes Into a place of business, the biggest thing he Bells to his prospective customer Is himself. The, product which he represents Is really secondary. Because no man. is going to buy a product without the stamp of some character put upon it. If I handled a thousand salesmen, I would want, those thousand salesmen to represent themselves first, to my desired customers. But I would want them to represent themselves' as a covering to the product I desired jo sell. f . I would want that prospective customer to feel, the moment that any one of those salesmen opened his mouth, that my product had an introduction which even its fine qualities might not surpass. What we are is infinitely better than what anyone may say that we are. We deliver our best as we live our best. No one can quite feel the masterful painting so thoroughly as the man who conceived and painted it right out from his soul the artist who delivered to the canvass, what he was. It is like this in every activity of our daily lives. You are constantly delivering yourself. And if anybody misunderstands you, you have been in error as to your own personal understanding of yourself! Try to analyze what you are. For until you adequately know what you repreesnt in the world, as a human among humans, you will never be able to deliver honestly what you are, to anyone. And be not afraid to reveal ALL that you are. When a man buys an automobile or a watch or a suit of clothes, he wants to know every point about the thing for which he expects to pay money. If there are some disadvantages or imperfections, he wants to know them and he wants the salesman to accurately tell him. Then he knows what to expect when he buys. - In all you do, deliver the best that youhave but deliver everything.

KAMED HEAD OF BIG SENATE COMMITTEE

America First Every American felt a thrill of pride when it was announced that Lieut. Comdr. Albert C. Read, U. S. N., had accomplished the feat of fly

ing across the Atlantic in fifteen hours and a few j

minutes. Theoretically it had been held possible for some time to cross the ocean in a flying machine, but it remained for Lieut. Read to actually demonstrate in practice what aviators believed was attainable in theory. Hardly had the world paid its tribute to the American flyer before it was astounded by the news that Harry G. Hawker, Australian aviator, had set out from the American continent to beat Lieut. Reid's record. 'This indicates all further problems of establishing transoceanic air navigation would hereafter be secondary. Lieut. Reid pointed the way by air. just as Columbus was the pioneer in trans-Atlantic sea navigation. After he had expelled the fear of death from the trip other navigators had no trouble in sailing the expanse. Hawker made his flight in an ordinary airplane while the American flyers used seaplanes which gave them a greater chance to save their lives in case of accident that Hawker had. Regular passage over the Atlantic by air route is only a question of a few months.

ANOTHER CELEB. A great man is the man who fixes his own automobile. If you don't seem to fealize at first glance that he is a great man he will tell you that hi is before you have talked with him for three minutes. But the great man who fixes his automobile is always fixing it. He starts in to fix it when there is really nothing the matter with it, and he always begins on the wrong thing. After he fixes a thing that doesn't need fixing, that thing never works right until he sends his car to the factory to be overhauled. After he fixes one thing that doesn't need fixing he is so pleased with himself that he keeps right on fixing until he has the whole internal

economy of the chug chariot out of

place and his car makes noises like

a tin peddler's cart running away, or a switch engine hauling a trainload of sheet-iron garbage cans over a piece of bad track. The best way for a man to fix. his own car is to leave it alone. Nine times out of ten it will regulate itself. Indiana is going to have a national bone-dry celebration. At latest reports nobody was getting up any special trains from either coast to attend In Montana there lives a man sixty years old who has never written a letter in his life.

How Did Pioneers Obtain Supplies of Meat in 1820?

Hog killing, which takes place in rural Wayne county on cold winter mornings when it is assured that the weather will be cold enough to keep the meat until it can be cured, is one pioneer function which has changed very little. In the olden days, when a farmer got ready to kill his year's pork, he heated immense kettles of water; fixed up a sled covered with boards for a platform to clean the corpse after it had been scalded, put a quilt over the top of the scalding barrel to retain the heat, and rigged up a pole on which to hang the hog for cleaning. Then he called In the neighbors. The best shot of the neighborhood was given the task of killing the animals, and it was considered a dis

grace to kill a hog so badly that he squealed when struck. After he was shot, a knife was stuck in his throat to drain the blood, two persons would catch him, swing him by the hindlegs into the scalding barrel, filled with a mixture of boiling water, and a shovelful of green-wood ashes, then he would be placed on the platform and his

bristles scraped off, then swung from the crotch of the pole for the comple

tion of the cleaning. , This is very similar to the process followed today, but there was one feature that would be unusual nowadays. Spare ribs, tenderloins and the

feet and heads were not considered of much value then, although most of these are considered delicacies now. So any poor man who could supply a barrel and salt, would be given all of these parts, and many a pioneer got his winter's meat that way. When no one could be found who wanted them these parts of the hog were carted away to some convenient ravine and buried.

"Will pencil do?" "Yes," said the older "flapper," and he took out a pencil and signed his name in the morocco-bound book that she had presented. The "flapper" studied the signature with a frown.. Then Bhe loked up and said: i "Aren't you Robert W. Chambers?" "No," he said. "I'm Booth TarkJngton." . The 'flapper" turned to her friend with a shrug of disgust.

A campaign for the eradication of venereal and other diseases is being started by the Bovernment of Jamaica.

From the Washington Post. THE insinuation that Ma J. Gen. Enoch II. Crowder, former provost marsha general and judge advocate general of the army, has accepted a commission with the Cuban government in order to avoid appearing before investigating committees of congress does a grave injustice to an able and honorable officer. Gen. Crowder, who has gone, to Cuba to revise the election laws of that country, states that he has not resigned from the American army and that he will be available to testify whenever an investigating committee desires to hear him. -?: Gen. Crowder is no "draft dodger," and in whatever position he may happen to be a subpoena from congress will be recognized and promptly obeyed by him.. No investigating committee will find him endeavoring to avoid explanation of his official acts or trying to shift his responsibilities. 1 The country is anticipating a very general probing by congress of the war activities. It Is reported that some of the executive departments display nervousness over the prospect. It is entirely proper that there should be congressional investigation of the conduct of the war; ngt a partisan investigation for political effect, but a reasonable comprehensive inspection of the official acts of the executivecbranch" of the government with a view to informing the public concerning matters which It was not wise to make known while hostilities were in progress. During the war congress gave willingly all the money asked by the administration. Billions were handed out to the war department, the navy department and to the various other governmental agencies upon the mere ptatement that -the sums asked were needed. Authority

was voted by congress with the same prodigality as funds, giving the administration unlimited powers and the funds with which to carry into effect any plans for the successful conduct of the war. Now it is but right that the officials to whom were intrusted these vast sums and this great authority should give an accounting. They should be ready and willing to appear before the properly constituted committees of congress and testify to their official acts, clarify matters which'are enveloped in doubt and answer any real criticisms of their official conduct. It should be remembered that congress had an equal responsibility with the executive department in this war. Too frequently that fact seems to have been overlooked, the popular inclination being to regard it as the president's war. As commander-in-chief of the army and navy the president, of course, was charged with the actual conduct of the campaign, with the organization of the armed forces and their direction. But congress provided the legislation which gives him his authority, and above all It held the public purse holding the funds which constituted the sinews of war. Congress gave liberally; now it is fully Within its rights in asking for an accounting from those to whom it intrusted the expenditure of the money. There can be no consistent or reasonable objection to an orderly and open investigation of war activities.. On the contrary, the people are entitled to this checking up, and the administration should encourage it Such Investigation should be had without regard to the political complexion of congress, for politics should net be permitted to enter into it. It should be conducted frankly, openly and without fear or favor.
