MEMORIAL DAY
MEMORIES.
Memorial Day! And oh! the
flood of memories.
Memories of the early observ
ances, when the boys who had
saved the Union swept in long
processions to the cities of
the dead, to pay honors to
the comrades who had gone
on before.
Memories of the parades of
bygone years-the ever short
ening lines of marchers, the ev
er lengthening lines of mounds
marking the resting places of
those who had entered upon
the last bivouac.
Memories of the Spanish war
—of the Maine, of Dewey at
Manila, of the rush to battle
in Cuba and in the far-away
Philippines. And later, the
homecoming of the dead to
sleep beside or near the heroes
of the earlier conflict.
Memories of the World war-*
of the boys who went cheer
ing and singing through the
streets on their way to the
training camps, keeping step
to the heart-quickening “Over
There.”
Memories of the long, heart
racking suspense and the fears
after the boys had disembark
ed in France, and had gone
forward to the battle line.
Memories of the thrills that
swept over the land as the
cables and wires spread the
news of the glorious deeds of
our boys on the crimsoned
battlefields.
Memories of the heartbreaks
as the fateful telegrams brot
tidings of the death of the
neighbor’s boy-or of the boy
who was nearer and dearer.
Thus it is that as the heroes
of the old wars pass away the
heroes of the new battles fill
the vacant places, and pay
homage to the glorious dead
who had served their country
in its times of peril. And even
when lasting peace comes to
the world there will be men,
and women, and children in
every community, large or .
small, to perpetuate observ- i
ance of Memorial Day in pay
ing- tribute to the nation’s
dead.

MINING A VITAL ASSET.
A mine in Nevada is opening
a body of ore estimated at
270,000 tons already in sight,
worth $5 a ton. It is being
mined and milled for less than i
$2 per ton, with a 97 per cent
extraction. The mill is hand
link 215 tons of ore a day un
der a fully electrified system.
The attention of those who be
lieve mining is a “gamble,” is
called to this as a sample of
modern mine operation as car
ried on all over the west. Some
bonanza discoveries are still
made and they are good read
ing for a jaded world. But the
real metal producers are these
steadily operated mines which
use electricity, laboratory sci
ence and business sense for
every operation; where they do
not look for bonanzas, but for
continuous operation for years.
Prospecting brings its own
reward in self-satisfaction. To
capitalize prospecting or pro
motion, is to step out of its '
proper sphere; like commerc-J
ializing patriotism, or love, or \
beauty, or any deep emotion;
But mining is industry, and
not emotion; it is business and
rentals and interest and depre
ciation and supplies and every
prosaic thing that deals with
physical conditions. Capably
conducted, it is as safe, as
profitable, as intelligible, as is
banking or merchandising or
farming. Unintelligent mine
stock buying is not mining;
any more than loaded craps
ar the shell game are business.
To know the distinction, is
to restore mining to its best
astate as a vital asset in nat
onal life which is deserving
af encouragement and sup
aort.—Boise Capital News.

SUNSHINE.
Now that the warm days have i
lome, be thankful. They are
aarning so much money every
minute it is difficult to esti
mate the amount. A hot, moist
June will make Mother Earth
catch up completely with all
her crops on millions of farms.
One may prefer cold breezes
like those on a mountain top,
but they would mean a short
corn harvest and a slim yield
of potatoes. Let June be as
comfortable as a winter resort,
and down comes the quantity
of nearly everything which
comes from the soil.
The warm days are translat
ing themselves into millions
of extra bushels of wheat,
com and oats. A sunny June
yields a bigger berry crop and
hence a more plentiful supply
of jellies, jams and- other
things which one would be un
able to get if nights were cold
and mornings frosty.

out the seventeenth hat. The
customer seemed impressed
but her doting husband spoke
up with decision:
“That hat does not become
you, my angel.”
The saleswoman produced
another.
“And that certainly is nol
worthy of you, my angel.”
“I fear we cannot suit youi
angel,” said the saleswoman
finally. “We have nothing in
Ihe way of a halo.”
