Honor Our Heroic Dead!
The Memorial Day observance is two-fold. It brings
flowers and orations for the dead and exhortations for
the living. The finest tribute we can pay to our heroes
is paid when we reproduce and perpetuate their spirits.

their Saxon foes met in a terrific battle. No monument
marks the spot, but a singular little blue flower grows
there and nowhere else. They call it the “Flower of
Culloden” because it sprang from the soil where patri­
ots were buried.
The choicest flowers of human civilization are al-
