God's Acre
IN the villages and country communities groups are faring
forth to the graveyards, there to labor at cleaning up
the sacred grounds in preparation for memorial day.. It is
voluntary service, but cheerfully rendered. Men will leave
their businesses, their farms, their shops and put in a half
4byr more or less, at mowing grass, and raking it in neat
piles; at trimming shrubs, and clearing away branches and
litter. With the regularity of an annual rite, is this service
performed. .' . ' .
Usually therejs no organization.Everywhere there are
-some who take a special interest iti keeping up the appear
ance of the cemetery. At this time of year when spring rains
have made the grass grow rank, they will give out the can
for volunteers. The word may be passed out at the church
on Sunday, or a brief notice printed in the weekly paper.
Comes the day, and the folk gather, tools sticking out of car
doors, ready to do a workmanlike job.
Women will be there too. They will be fussing about with
flowers. They will stir the soil with hand trowels. They wifl
see how the perennials on the family lot have come through
the winter. Usually they bring a fresh planting, some ger
aniums or petunias to set out and bring life and color in this
ground for the dead. .
Then when Memorial day arrives those who come will
have words of praise for the appearance of the cemetery.
They may not know whom to praise, but they see the fruits
of toil in cleared paths and trimmed plots. They will come
from considerable distances on that day. They will roll out
of the cities, ears loaded with flowers, to lay their tributes
on the soil where loved ones rest in long sleep. They and
others think of memorial day; but that group of faithful
folk who think to clean up the cemeteries in preparation for
memorial day, they deserve a word of praise. Theirs is a
humble, faithful service; its reward lies wholly in their own
. satisfaction.
Drive Against High Salaries
ONE by one the towers of privilege are falling. Taxation
is used as a great tool for levelling, and it will be surpris
ing if out of the present congress some means of confiscating
the large percentage of incomes above moderate amounts is
not devised. Senator Nye made one such proposal, and Huey
Long another. . .
At present the attack is against high salaries m business
corporations. One law withholds from an insurance company
any doles from the R. F. C. unless the company cuts the pay
of its employes to not over $17,500. Some insurance com
panies have been criticised for increasing already high sal
aries during the depression years. The big boys get around
$150,000 to $200,000 a year. Railroad presidents get less by
about S50.000.
It is outside these quasi-public corporations however that
the really big salaries are paid. Bethlehem- Steel paid modest
salaries but gave enormous bonuses to high-placed executives.
3. Other companies have been equally generous with their offi
cers. The system works easily because the officers often
dominate the boards of directors and in.effect fix their own
salaries. Through the proxy
petuates its control of an industry; and, the stockholders get
the drippings after the officials
salaries and bonuses.
V At a time when salaries of public officials are passing
through the colander, it is not surprising that stockholders,
sore for lack of income, are prying into the salary budgets
f their companies. It seems no more than fair that in all
companies where stock is widely distributed, salaries of
company officials should be printed in the annual reports.
There has been a great deal of
many vice presidents and sons
to apply to the higher-ups as
good wages but make them earn them.

the cure was Indeed miraculous!
The body Is fatigued after a severe
winter. Its resistance against dis

traced to prolonged hours Indoors,
lack of fresh air and sunlight, or it
is the result of a diet deficient In

A CompUte Overhauling
Of course spring and summer com

the spring tonic but In the removal
ot the underlying cause. This can
be determined only by a visit te the
doctor. My advice Is for everybody
to have a complete overhauling every
six months.' This should be done re

Children with signs ot sluggishness
during the spring should be taken te

the Importance of clean teeth, dean

Diary of a seaman who
was with Capt. Wilkes
In Oregon Country, 1841:
(Continuing from yesterday:)
Mr. Henry was his nephew and
the only son of a widowed sister
from whom he had taken him
away.
The bodies were kept untU the
following day, during which
time Mr. Agate, artist, succeeded
in getting a very correct likeness
of them both for their friends at
home. After which they were
sewed up in separate hammocks
and taken on shore to a small on
inhabited Island, where both ot
them were interred in the same
grave." (Why did the TJ. S. ex
ploring expedition not carry cam
eras with which to take pictures?
Because the world had none. The
predecessor of our present photo
graph, the daguerreotype, named
for the French inventor, Da-
guerre. was in Its Infancy; of
which more later along in this
series.)
It- Is entranclngly Interesting
to reflect upon the development
of the art of photography, up to
the "movie" and the "talkie,"
with new devices with which 6000
to 7000 pictures a minute may be
made by the latest cameras.)
S S
Sept. 20, 1840, the expedition
made the Island of Onehow, ot
the Sandwich group, and four
days later arrived in Honolulu,
where P. A. Brinsmaide, Ameri
can consul, made them welcome
and arranged for their comfort
and served in expediting the work
in which they were engaged.
The stipulated terms for which
most members ot the crew had
been signed on the eastern coast
having expired, Capt. Wilkes of
fered to reenter all of them, of
fering each man who would sign
up for 18 additional months three
extra months pay, and those who
refused only three days' liberty
on pay. In spite ot the many dan
gers and hardships met and en
dured on the expedition up to that
time, most of the men, some of
them after a good deal of hesita
tion, reentered the service.
Honolulu was then only a Til
lage of white men from many
lands, with SO 00 natives living In
primitive condition. The TJ. 8.
consul's building was made of
coral and mud; the natives' huts
mostly of mud and straw.
S
Such natives as had any cloth
ing at all to speak of were dress
ed in fantastic zasnions, - some
with pants and no shirt, others
with shirts and no pants, and a
few- with shoes only, without
either pants or shirts.. The na
tive women who had dresses wore
something of European cloth that
looked like a barrel or bag, open
at the bottom, and no sleeves
just silts for their arms. The
principal missionaries were of the
American board, then made np ot
Congregational. Presbyterian and
the Dutch Reformed church or
ganizations, under the chief lead
ership of Rev. Bingham. (They
and their descendants became or
have become the big business men
of the Islands, with most of the
wealth.)
At that time, the chief food of
the natives was tha tarro plant
supplemented with fish, and they
had no knives or forks, or plates.
Kamehameha the) Third was the
king: The members of the expe
dition witnessed -the execution ot
some murderers, one of them
chief, who had killed a aatiro
princess, .under the sponsorshin
of Dr. J. P. Judd, missionary phy
sician, the members ot tha expe
dition visited tha king and war

March t, 1841. his royal highness
returned tha call, on the flagship

ered the usual honors. Including
a dinner on board. The king was
then a young man, 2 S or 28.
Members of the expedition
journeyed to the volcanoes of
Hawaii, and took observations
and made notes for their official
report, which ran to several vol
umes and contained much infor
mation that was the first ever to
be recorded by men of science.
The author of the rare old book,
Mr. Clark, told a good deal of the
incidents ot the investigations

records.

the call, "Land, ho!" On 10
o'clock of that day the vessels

the sea was too rough and the
conditions of tbat day too danger

beautiful, lives a secluded life with
her two maiden aunts ia house
long ran to seed. Aunt Ervie, dis
covering that Joan has visited a
dance hall, angrily reveals to her
the story of how her mother had
won her father away from Aunt
Babe. Joan, alone In her room,
clasps to her heart a miniature of
her mother and refuses to believe
she was anything but good. Aunt
Ervie bare a cheap auto and en

down oo tha runsinr board of the
car and weeps because of her lone

and distressed by her grief, tries to

NOW OO ON WITH THE
STORY.
CHAPTER f
BOl hadat tho time for rirla. He
had bean struck with Joan's beauty
whan ho first saw her framed in
tho rod velveteen curtains that first
afternoon. She haunted him. as a
bar of musk, or a line from a poem
can haunt one, and all the next day
aa he went about his greasy chores
in Gerwin's Garare ho thooxht of
her, slender and gold and remote in
tho window. But she lived tn "tne
Van Fleet mansion." and she
only a kid. He would never had
thought of her aa a possible sweet
heart. Big Bill Martin was almost
twenty, and. had worked on tho
docks.
Nor would Joan hare made the
first advances. They might never
hare known each other, had ho not
come upon her that April afternoon
eni as? in the old stable.
Were they really strangers? Joan
looked up at him through wet, thick
lashes. Her aeagreen eyes were deep
pools of wandering tenderness.
We we're like the story of the
sleeoinsr orincess in the fairy tales.1
she said in her clear, childish voice,
"You know she's been asleep for
a hundred years, and he finds her,
and kisses he
She broke off, and grinned In sud

cause we didnt know each other
before and all of a sudden, we Just
did
He hadat meant to kiss her, not
even when she talked about the
fairy tale, but she was so near, her
sweet mouth waa so soft and red.
Their lips met, then Joan drew
back in sudden fright. "Oh why
did your" she whispered.
"Well, I guess I better ret busy
on too car, he said with forced
cheerfulness. That's what I
sent around here to do be losing
my job if I dont look out," And
then, lower, anxiously, "You you
arent angry are you?"
She shook her head. "No not

He squeexed her slender hand ia
his brown raw. "Then it's all risrht.
Say. can I use the hose on the car?"
"To wash it with? Oh, yes. And
They went out together, and Bill
screwed it to the leaky faucet near
the south hedge.
"I'll hold it for you I
"Oh no -
"But I want to!"
In the end he let ber, and then
he dragged it bsck to the rose rar
den for her, and returned to the car
to finish his work.
From her place in the rarden
Joan could watch him. She saw
him in a golden mist. Already she
waa fitting him into all her bookish
dreams. She saw him mushinr with
