"To day a mighty nation bows its bead in memory ot the men who have died that the nation might live men of Bunker "Hill ol Gettysburg ot Santiago and ot the Argonne. "The American Legion joins the nation in its reverence for the dead; but the Legion also claims a deeper kinship tor those who gloriusly fell In the World war. for these men were our comrades-in-arrus, linked to us by the strongest of ties. "We shall visit every grave today, at home and abroad, and shall speak words of comfort to the dear ones who mourn. But we shall not only give, we sha'l receive. For, as we stand at tbelr graves to-day our com rades will speak to us. Tbey will remind us of the dangers that beset our beloved land, of the enemies, within and with out; of the long fight that must be waged. The voice ot our comrades comes to us, like a call to arms.

Will Receive Production of Its Members Only Ready to handle all the produce of its members the Co-operative Canning and Packing company will open its doors tomorrow to commence packing local strawber ries, according to an announce ment made by Fred A. Kurtz, gen eral manager, this morning. The company is entirely owned and operated by the growers and will only handle the product ot its members. It was incorporated in last March witn L.. r. Uey nolds, president; Will Rlckman, vice president and Frank Gibson, secretary, while Fred A. Kurtz, formerly sole owner of the plant was made general manager. Very little ol the concerns, 1126,000 stock remains unsold, and outside ot the larger can neries Is the only one in a posi tion at present to operate. Mr. Kurts stated this morning that he anticipated no drawback in handling the production this season and that the market for it was practically certain. Within the next 10 days tbe crest of strawberry production will be reached and the cannery will be operating to its full cap acity. Hegardlng the general market price of loganberries to be receiv ed by the farmer, Mr. Kurtz stated that It would-be around five cents a pound. This nrice he said, would be necessary because of the general financial condition of the packers who need to make a long pront on this season's pack because of the losses experience last year by the high prices paid to the farm, ers. Mr. Kurts stated that it was the opinion of a great many of the growers to whom he had talked and who were not members of his organization that a good profit could be made per acre on tbe prico of 5 cents a pound, paying two cents a pound tor picking and the cent and a half for training and cultivating. This price will enable the packers to handle the harries at a profit which will cover their losses and also put the price within reach of eastern people, thus assuring a ready market. The Cooperative Canning and racking company includes in its membership 160 growers of Folk and Marion county and under the present arrangement finance their own business and get their profit out of the ultimate market.

The na tion halted today while mourn ing millions joined in paying tri bute to the memory of those who have fallen in its defense. Here in Washington, where lie the graves of so many thousands who have given up their lives down through the stretch at years from Lexington fo the Argonne the example was set for the country. All the ponderous ma chinery ot congress and govern ment stopped and, led by the pres ident himself, the capltol took the lead in honoring those to whom the nation owes its all. - The great national cemetery at Arlington, brilliant in its young summer foliage and hold ing more than 30,000 soldier graves, was the shrine of many pilgrimages today. Some of the graves are old, the stones that mark them covered with the moss of years. They hold all that is left of many who fought, at Gettys burg, at the Wilderness, at A tietam, Chancellorsville, CoW Harbor, Fredericksburg, Manas ses, Shilofi and Stone River. Some of the graves are new. A fast increasing number of them are new, their outlines yet mark ed by the yellow clay upflung when they were made. No stones yet mark them. They contain all that is left of many who fought at the Marne, at St. Mihiel, at the bloody crossings of the f.feus and Moselle and in the Bleak Ar gonne. Flowers there were in abund ance today to mark tbe graves of the unknown as well as the known dead who rest there. From early morning, automobiles laden with fresh cut blooms from the cele brated conservatories of Washing ton crossed the historic Potomac to the beautiful old cemetery that overlooks the river. President Harding took the lead in Washington's observant of the day. In the morning he re viewed from the portico ot the white house a parade of veterans pf all the wars since '61. Later in the day he delivered an address to thousands at the new amphi theatre on (he outskirts of Arling ton. The parade of veterans was im pressive. It was led by Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, retired, veteran of not only the Civil war, but of the Indian wars and cam paigns that preceded it and foV lowed it. The 82 year old veteran was the general marshall. and he still is a commanding figure de spite the weight of years. The procession formed on whai is known as the white lot back of the executive mansion. In the line were a United States marine corps band, an escort of regular caval rymen and infantry from Fort Myer and nearby posts, the mem bers of the department of the Po tomac, G. A. R. ; the Sons of Vet erans, Spanish War Veterans, members of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the World War Veterans. From the white lot the parade proceeded north to Pennsylvania avenue to the west gates of the white house, where it entered the I grounds, past the north portico, where stood the president, Mrs. Harding and a small party, and thence to Thirteenth and C streets where cars and automobiles car Had the marchers to Arlington. Taps Nation's Chief Duty Lies In Self-Preservation Harding Says In Eulogizing War Dead Washington, May 30. A nation loyal first of all to itself, but never failing to measure up to the days of an advancing civilization, was pictured by President Harding as an Amer ican ideal today in a Memorial Day address at Arlington national cemetery. American heroes of every war, the president said, had accomplished far more than the immediate ends for wheih they fought because they had helped erect and preserve a shrine for the liberty-loving of very race. He declared tne wnoie inmsiou Smashes All Past Records American Car Leads Field In 500 Mile Classic; Averages 89.62 Miles per Hour Speedway, .Indianapolis, Ind., May 30. Tommy Milton, orivins an American cat, won the 500 mile automobile race here today. Roscoe Sarles finished second, three minutes behind Milton. The victory gave Milton $20,000 for forst place and more than suuw in lap prizes. The time was five hours.

Seven drivers sent out of the race through accidents, but no one was lrfjured. Fontaine's car turned over on the north turn, hanging on the edge of the in cline and threatening the lives of hundreds of persons below. Thomas hit a wall on the same turn and was forced out with a broken steering knuckle and WU- leox. 1919 winner, had to qu when a connecting rod broke. Jimmy Murphy skidded on the north turn and Eddie Pullen toe his place. Joe Boyer, after forcing DePal- ma to a terrific pace, dropped out at the 74th lap with axle trou ble. Van Ranst went out at the 78th lap with a broken connect ing rod. Chassagne lost his hood and had to quit.

Mrs t Wazeman mou, . ... , ,i The following scnoois - Memorial day haB crystallized the sentiment of the veterans of 11 our wars on the matter of the soldiers' loan measure which will m voted on at the special election At June 7. The measure has not thorough ly been understood heretofore, but the members ot the G. A. R. and Spanish American war veterans, Indian war veterans and world war veterans have used Memorial day to thresh the matter out among themselves and It is now believed by every veteran, that the passage of the soldiers' loan constitutional amendment will do more to develop Oregon than any other measure which has veTr been before the people of this state. As one old G. A. R. veteran aptly put It, "It will start $3,000,- 000 in circulation in and around 8alera. In our allied industries, which Is just the difference in amount, between reconstruction period business and a brisk busi ness boom for this community." To create this new wealth the tate simply loans Its credit and the benefitted ex-service man does all the rest, including paying the Mil. The result is that the hous ing problem will be solved. Our carpenters, brick masons, shlng lers. conirete workers, and every other artisan whose work includes domestic construction, will be up to his ears in work. Better bus iness for this great class, with Money in their pockets to spend, means better conditions for our merchants, our real estate and our professional men.

"Our country," said Mr. Hard ing, "has never failed to measure up to the demands presented to It I in behalf of humanity, and it nev er will. When it ceases to meet these drafts, it will no longer be our country; it will be, if that time ever comes, the wretched and decaying memorial of anoth er civilization that has crumpled, ot another ideal which has failed, Df another ambition for men's happiness which has somehow gone awry." In equally emphatic language the president asserted his convic tion that his duty to civilization could be accomplished only if the nation took care first of its own Integrity. The text of the president's ad dress In part follows: Devotions General "We are met on secred soli to day, for a solemn hour of sacra ment and consecration. But the soil whence we come Is Itself sane titled through the sacrifices Of those who lie here. Wherever our flag flies, within the boundaries of the republic, 1 tis over lands whose freedom and security have been wrought through these sac rifices. "It is the privilege of this com pany to utter our tribute of love and gratitude in the sacristy ot beauty within sight of the nation al capital. "But others, no less devout, will assemble all over our land and other lands, under foreign skies and among alien peoples, to pay like tribute of love and mem ory. There is no discordant note in the hymn of gratitude, no sec tionalism In our memorial. Above the mVrmurings of grief is the swelling concord of union, and the dominant note is our faith in the republic.

Where men may but aspire to a freedom not yet achiev ed, their instinct turns the eye and the thought of hope this way, and they pray that their cause may gain our approbation.
