The 'veterans of the two wars ac knowledged the respectful salutations by marching, through. wKh uncovered heads and the, sweet, solemn music of the band " added much to the. Impres sivneas of the oceaalen. r . , , : One of the - most beautiful feature of the decorations at the cemetery was an archway constructed over the en trance to the Q, A.

The armory hail was packed to over flowiDg to liseta' to the evening exer cises which was the closing observance of this memorable day upon which oc casion. Captain J.: Q. Barnes presided as chairman, which position he Oiled very -creditably. Besides tht chairman, the stage was occupied by the officers of the O. A. R.. Oov. T. T. Geer and the Salem Band.. The decorations were not elaborate yet very appropriate and artistically arranged. '.f'---.:' The exereisea -ere opened by . a choice selection of. music by the band, beautifully' rendered, and this was fol lowed by the invocation by Rev, II.' A. Ketchum. With but a few exceptions and iiddltlon the program as rendered waa the same as tltat published In yes terday's issue of the Statesman ;, the recitation by Mlfs Masa Oeer v being omitted, and the additional numbers were: A recitation, v "The Wounded Soldier,' by Miss Echo Desart. and a vocal solo. "Just As the Sun . Went Down. by Miss Genevieve Trayer. The program was a most excellent one as a whole, the principal feature of .which was I a splendid patriotic ' address by Oovernor Geer during which he was frequently Interrupted by vigorous and spontaneous applause, and In conclus ion was accorded a rousing ovation. Another prominent feature, and which elicited an enthusiastic encore, was a song; by the Stalwart Quartet, "My America during the last stanta of which a large Amerlncan flag was dis played from the side of the stage and waved triumphantly over the quartet. After the benediction Was pronounced by Rev. T. H. Henderson the large au dience was. dismissed and filed 'slowly and silently out of the hall , with the dying echoes of the last, -w and pathetic hdtes of "Taps"! ringing In their ears and with the satisfaction of having witnessed the . most ' successful and I complete celebration Of the Na tion's only holiday for many years past.

It is light draft and has no neck weight. The. master wheels on the Champion Draw Cut mower aro warranted not ; to lift from tho ground when the finger bar meets an oWmction. ; V The finger -bar in which the knife runs is drawn from a point in front ot rusnKn from the , main frame of the machine. . All other mowers push the finger bar more or less, and that is what reduces the cutting powef end makes them dangerous to ride on. When the finger bar is pushed much or litlle there must be a bar to push it, a push bar. All front 'cut mowers have push bars excepi the Champion., The Champion has none. s The Champion finger bar is drawn riot pudied iu the leasL If a mower has a push baii it is dangerous to ride upon it, and it loses cut ting power when in lough grass, because the tendency is to lift, the wheels. On other mowers tho fitigcr ban's almost entirely pushed. Some other mower havo a small draw rod, but remem ber they alio have a big push bar. i ALI SUCH MOWERS AKE PUSH CUT. When the finger bar of a push cut mower strikes forcibly a fixed obstruction tlie insicje wheel raises otT tho ground Tough gfafs acts as an. 'obstruction to, the cutter bar, and when the cutter bar of a posh cut mower is obstructed, however little, the tendency of the-wheels.is to lift. It isnly when th? obstruction takes the form of a fixed obstacle that the wheels will actually lift clear of the ground, : but the tendency to lift is still there, and tlie tougher the grass the lighter the wheels press on the ground and the less traction you have, just when you need it most'. : - - ;.--'- - - r ..- -V-V"r-7 ' m ir new ono!
