OP THE MARSHF1ELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY Memorial Day By Colonel Robert G. Inycrsoll. THIS DAY is sacred to tho groat heroic host who kept this flag above our heads; sacred to the living and the dead; sacred to the scarred and maimed, sacred to the wives who gave up their hus bands; to the mothers who gave their sons. Here in this peaceful land of ours hero, where the sun shines, whore flowers grow, where children play millions of armed men battled for the right and breasted on a thousand fields the iron storms of war. Those bravo, these incomparable, men founded the first republic They fulfilled tho prophecies; tlioy brought to pass tho dreams, they realized the hope's that all the groat and good and wise and just have made and had since man was man. But what of those who fell? There is no language to express the debt wo owef the love we boar, to till the dead who "died for us. Words aro but barren sounds. We can but stand beside their graves and in the hush and si lence feel what speech has never told. DVEB MILLION DOLLARS IN ON Pant Anrinrcnn nf sfnrcHrl Btl" Buffering from IiIb Injuries, re Oapi.
