M em o rial D ay is ndt merely a
holiday, a day for sports and of
cessation from labor, it is a holy
day; the com memoration of pop

public that, despite whatever weak

whole approximates to that city o f
G o d on earth of which poets have
dreamed and for which freedom
loving men have poured out their
blood like water. It jh o u ld be a
day of consecreation and dedica

our selves anew to the service of
our country and consecrate ou;
service with the hallowed memor

Wasco Hohie Talent in Drama.
W a r in D ixie at the M o ro opera
house last Saturday evening as
staged by the young people of our
neighbor city for the benefit of the
Wasco M . E . church was an ex
ceptionally entertaining drama.
T h e young actors knew their lines
and moved promptly when their
cue appeared
That their efforts to entertain
were successful was easily seen I y
the applause bestowed upon them
by the audience; the between'acts
were of a specially entertaining
feature, the vocal solo by Miss
Crosfield, sung in charming voice,
and the character sketch by Miss
Barnett both receiving hearty en
core.
During the time occupied by
the W a r in D ixie the Observer
had, in M r. Chamberlain, a spec
ial trained correspondent always
appearing at opportune moments
and wanting every one to keep to
their statuesque poise and ever
lastingly busy on that seven thou
sand m illion words he was going
to send in descriptive of the fight,
but altho our types have been o il
ed and, ready for the message the
wires are crossed and its not here.
W e would like to mention more
specifically the good acting of each
but space and time forbid.
