From the Grano Army of Unrcea Veterans of Canada came a wreath placed by Senator Richardson, old est living wearer of the Victoria Cross. There were flowers from Newfoundland and from the army and navy war veterans ot Canada came a memorial woven of popples that bloom In Flanders fields and beside all the civil dignitaries Great Britain sent to pay homage Vent Earl Beatty, admiral of the lleet. Air Vice Marshal Higgins and others whose roles in the war In which this unknown soldier died were great. Just at 8 o'clock the great main doors, huge bronze barriers, em bellished with Intricate figures and designs and long ago given the American republic, strangely enough, by France, on whose soil the soldier died, swung back and the waiting hundreds stepped, up ward tour abreast to pass by the casket. As the first line stepped within the hall from the group beside the bier, where the flowers were being set In place male voices rose in blended harmonies that awoke the echoes in the high, vaulted roof above, now flooded with sunlight They sang the last verse of "Amer tea": "Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light." They sang with a peal of victory and ao hint of sorrow, and the last notes died away down the long corridors to right and left as the line moved slowly on and out the western entrance, dawn over the terraced slopes that face out With the white gleam of Washing ton monument straight ahead and still behind, seemingly cut through the center by the great shaft, the square white bulk of Lincoln mem orial on the far brim of the Poto mac. About the casket on its low base those who passed by saw the five soldiers, still bb though carved from- bronze in their khaki trap pings. At the head, arms rigid at bis sides, his own head bent for ward until the tan brim of his cap bid his eyes, stood the non-commissioned officer, the red of his chevrons coloring his sleeve. At each corner, facing inward to the center, stood a soldier, rifle butt grounded on the Btone flagging, body rigidly erect, but also with head bent forward until cap brim was level with the point of his gleaming bayonet. ' By 10 o'clock a steady stream of people soldiers, men, women and children, white and black bad begun a continuous march through the rounds. Secretary Weeks, Assistant Sec retary Walnwright and General Harboard, were on hand waiting to receive foreign delegations Floral designs from every state, on each of which was the state's j shield, completely circled the ro-I tunda. All delegations came in from the north entranco and stood by the catafalque for the ceremony as1 the line continued to stream through. Society Mrs. Bernardi Hi Club Hostess Mrs. J. A.

Ornj Vermifuge Is tbe THREE years of peace have passed three years of reconstruction. Surely, we as a nation, have much to be thankful for much to console ourselves that our plight is not greater or our burden more wearisome. Peace on earth has been finally established. So let us offer cheer to the sorrowful, bounty to the needy, and balm to the stricken. In this spirt let us celebrate this Armistice Day Anniversary. And let us hope that the conclusions of the Disarmament conference, called by President Hard ing, will pave the way to the eradication of war and that all its accompanying scourges will be effaced from this earth; that the term "brotherhood of man" will bear a more definate meaning than mere words. Let us make this a day worth remembering- as sacred and memorable as our national holiday the Fourth of July. And let us rejoice that November brings forth two great days of thanksgiving Armis Day and Thanksgiving Day. Our Establishments Will Remain Closed all Day Friday, November llthl U. O. SHIPLEY CO.
