rit was rainy 'day, and cold;
: a day for grief and; sadness, a.
( , day - when i the skies wept and
i shivered - as for hopes dead and
-. faith gone forever; Bat the flags
nerer floated more proudly, or
lovingly; the crowd was never so
lirge, the cemeteries nerer so
tenderly and beautifully garnish
ed and tended, as on the Memor-
i ial day Just closed. -
It Is 58 years stlee the great
straggle that ve ydrth to ! Me
merldaTme to an. end; Jt is
1 - t 65 j years since the first formal
observance of the day as na
tional holiday. The sting of the
t Civil "war griefs . i long dead;
eves, the bitterest jstlng of . v the
latest straggle is past but the
national and personal pride of a
: great people tn the achievements
. -- of "the past and the promise , of
v. . the future, was never so deep as
y fr now; never quite so generally ex
? pressed as in this last celebrs
tion ot the beautiful holiday,
1 Three Bands Flay
i . ' There were three bands in the
parade. The reorganized Salem
band, a sterling, musicianly or

i ' station for ; courteous v service ; to
the public as well, ms for ability;
the Cherrybud 'hand, with, their
I: Camlag uniforms -and their Jan
v lor enthusiasm and promise;,! and
A the band 'from the boys training
lichool. that Is getting to play in
I real "concert quality. If the short-
1 legged Cherrybud played al 'a
parching clip that sober old men
rouldn't march to, that was! the
men's fault." They tried to march
to this rapid-fire time, and to the
long-legged men's hand time
, and they Vail but tripped thera
: selves In, the effort-But the mu
sic was good, and more of it than
' , ever before in - Salem, -..

The Boy Scouts helped greatly
In carrying out the parade program,-
They5 were the official

t work: well. A detachment of 1.0
boys from the Salem TMCA, cap-
Ulned by VTkey" White,- did re
markably efficient service in ; lin

carriages for the Grand . Army

For First Time Oregon Proo
uct Brings Better Prices
Tlan California
The cherry growers of the Wll
liamette valley are.' Invited and
urged to attend a meeting at the
Oregon Growers offices, Saturday
afternoon' at 2 o'clock, to hear
Prof. A. L; Lovett of OAC discuss
the cherry maggot and the means
for fighting '"it . While the meeting
was intended for the Oreon Grow
ers especially, the' association is
so much' interested . in seeing all
cherry .growers do well , this year,
that the invitation is extended to
everybody. '-"''-'-:
The high price 'and the short
crop of cherries in the valley this
year makes it Important : for all
growers to know how to. fight the
one greatest - cherry ; pest in this
state. . It .has been serious enough
in" the past to call for strenuous
fighting:, for its eradication. Dur
ing a short crop season it would
be especially easy, to fight for the
benefit of the future years; and
the high prices being paid for1 the
Wllliamette cherries makes it of
vital financial : concern ' to every
grower;. '
California Bqatcn
'.' ". ' ': ' '
For' the first time since Noah
let the cherry worms out of the
ark to prey on the crops,, Oregon
cherries are bringing more money
than the' cherries in California.
Usually the California packers,
who overshadow and dominate the
market, start , the- market with
their own cherries 2 cents higher
than the Oregon product cad hab
it has forced the Oregon growers
to acquiesce. This year, the Ore
gon growers started: out to make
their stuff early, and. Royal Annes
have -sold up to 10 -cents a
pound. Probably half or more of
the. crop, will be sold at 10 cents
or better. -' . , - ' ; , '
. This Oregoni price really follow
ed the foolish old tradition of a
2-cent reduction from the Cali
fornia prices. The Calif ronia as
sociation held its fruit up as high
as 12 cent v and about 11 cents
was its minimum for Royal Annes.
But the packers;; even their own
trained friends, balked at this
price. Wfith the sugar conspiracy
