" Residents of Maupin come to Decoration Day with loving tears for not only the men who wore jthe blue, but with loving remem i brance of those who are now our ! brothers even tho they fought Entered as second class mail for a lost cause. Their sons matter September 2, 1914, at the ixjstoffice at Maupin, Oregon, un der the Act of March 3, 1879. DECORATION DAY Thinner and thinner grow the ranks of that once vast army that wore the uniform of blue, and once more as the day arrives on which this nation bows in tribute to them we see the wide gaps in their ranks. More than half a century has passed since they went forth to defend the same starry flag we once again unfurl above the heads of the living and once again drape about the silent mound3 that shield the dead. And the years that have passed since the day they marched forth with youth ful hearts to defend that flag, have served to heal all scara and have shown themselves of our blood, and today on the fields Of France and in every cemetery in this nation the sons of both the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray sleep si lently side by side after laying down their lives for the same cause. They fought for the na tion they loved, and they are J loved by that nation because they were big enough to forget sectional lines and political dif ferences. So we come again to pay hom age to our soldier dead, to show them they are not forgotten and that their service to mankind shall never perish from the minds of this generation, and all generations to come. They paved the way for a nation that today stands as an example of greatness for all other nations to emulate. They made it possible for us to. live in and to, enjoy peace and plenty. And for this we return our sincere thanks with a cheer for those who still remain and a tear for those who have passed on, end with a re newal of our pledge to uphold the flag and the constitution they sacrificed for a flag that has never known dishonor. 'THE BEST OF ALL any quicker than getting out on a trip somewhere and seeing how the othT fellow lives. We 'overheard a conversation between several well-known Maupin men a few days ago, and it is well worth passing on. They were discussing auto trips, and interesting places, and final ly one of them said: "Taking a trip is a fine thing, and every man who owns an auto owes it to himself to take at least one good, long one. Then when he gets back to the old home town he'll know how to appreciate it more than he did before he saw other sections of this country." And there's a lot of truth in that statement. Other states and towns and cities look good on paper and in the motoring guide books, and other ways of making a living appeal to us while we are reading about them. But a short stay anywhere else will convince you that what you! have here is many times better, everything considered, than what you are going to find any where else. It costs no more to live here than in other sections, and even if it did it's worth more. The trouble with the av erage citizen of this and every other comunity is that he is so busy believing that the other fellow has the best end of life that he overlooks his own advan tages. And nothing will bring those advantages to his attention The morality of our ancestors has been brought out as a topic for argument. How about Adam and Eve. There is no authority for their marriage so far as docu mentary or historical evidence is concerned. Ferhaps their rela tions were under the cloak of "common law" marriage. , ,. We look to see history repeat itself. Sieiwer was elected as the candidate of the Oregonian; but Bert Ilaney, the democratic candidate, and well known and popular, may step out and take the senatorial toga himself. Wrigley says the sun never sets on his chewing gum. But! how about the son who sits on! the cud left on the chair edge by his sister? Maupin did herself proud at the primary election. The re publicans for once cast more votes than did the democrats.

This money is being sent away from the . Pacific Boast territory because our farms are not producing sufficient hogs to supply' the Pacific Coast market. Here is a home market for a home pro duct that is being overlooked. A few more hogs on each farm will keep a lot of this money in tho west. Think it over.
