SAIEl PAYS ILL BUSINESS SUSPENDED F0E1 DAY CEMETERIES ARE ABLOOM CARPETED WITH FLOWERS SERVICES WELL ATTENDED Sedgwick Post, G. A. R., Accompanied by Veterans of Other Wars and Assisted by Woman's Relief Corps and Ladies of the G. A. R., Lead in the Memorial Services, Both in the Cemeteries in the Morning and in the Church in the Afternoon-Ceremonies Were Impressive and Beautiful. Memorial Day, which has gradually usurped the first place In the hearts of the American people, so long held by Independence Day, was generally and appropriately celebrated lu Salem today, as it no doubt was over the entire country. Early yesterday morning street cars were filled with the flower-laden throng, and an endless procession of autos atid buggies, masses of bloom and beauty, all with the cemeteries as the objective points, began the prep arations for today's services. By night the cemeteries were in deed beautiful. The mounds over loved ones were masses of roses and other beautiful flowers. Flowers ev erywhere in riotous profusion, until the big cemetery, naturally one of tiie isiost beautiful In the world, was just a great tract, carpeted with bloom and color, while the air was heavy with their fragrance. GLEE CLUB CONCERT WAS GREAT In a fitting finish to successful seasons Hut of entertainments the Willamette University Glee club gave their annual concert in the Grand lest night. It was a howling success and went off without a hitch. Wil lamette certainly has a fine Gl!eclub as every one will admit thr.t heard the entertainment laHt night. Prompt ly at half pant eight the Glee club opened the entertainment with "An Ode to Music" and "Ding Dong." Perry Relgleman read "Lord Dun dreary's letter" and was loudly en cored. Kelgleimin Is a graduate of the Willamette College of Oratory and Is a very accomplished reader. Following another selection by the Glee Club, "The Hong of the Viking," M. F. Green gave a violin solo which was enthusiastically received. Myrtle T.cng Mendenhall, college of music Instructor In voice, next gave a vocal solo and was loudly encored. After the Glee club had sung "Away, Away." and Perry Relgleman read "Dot I.eetle Hoy of Mine," the Glee club quartet sang "Dreaming" and were encored five times. The Glee club finished the first half or the en tertainment with "An Ode to Willam ette" and "Our Old Wlllametty." "U Mascotte,' the comic skeCM, made the biggest hit of the evening. J. B. OukeB in the role of tho "Prince Lor enzo, the Beggar Prince" and R. L. Pfaff as "Rocco, a farmer" kept the audience In uproarious laughter dur ing the whole performance. Perry Relgleman made a charmlig little peasant girl with tier flaxen hiilrand brand new middy. The cast of the sketch was as follows: Rettlna, the mascot, Perry llelgle nrnn. Plppo, a shepard, H. II. Hewitt. Frnncesca, a peasant. Paul Anderson. Rocco, a farmer, R. L. Praff. Prince Iirenzo, the beRgar prince, J- B. C. Onkes. Prince Frederick, his future son-in-law A. A. Schramm. Chorus of farmers, peasants and ''allot girls. Scene, Plomblno, Italy. Time, lfith century. The Willamette Glee Club has had very successful season and the per formance Inst night was a flttitij end to the year's work. TRIBUTE TO All, did I say? Well, not quite. The horse editor visited the cemetery in the evening, drank In its beauty, en joyed the evidences of love and ten derness so abundantly shown on all Bides, mused over the beauties of mem ory that for all of us recalls the past with all Kb beautiful and tender things, and with gentle hand smooths down, or rubs away all bitterness and unpleasantness. He wandered with a companion down into the northeast corner of the Odd Fellows cemetery, simply because there was a little sec tion, that seemed to be overlooked by everybody. And It was. There, in two little rows, were 30 or more graves Utile graves, less than a yard long each marked with a little rounded wooden board at head and foot. Penciled names, mostlv unintel ligible, and giving no information of the little ones resting beneath. There were no flowers there, and It was somehow jusk pitifully pathetic. Poor little kids, nipped in the bud of life. denied blossoming here, but "suffered to come unto Him," to bloom mire and Innocent in the gardens of Para dise. Yet out of millions of blossoms, that, like them, bloomed lint n Hie surely some might be spared for that I little sectloii of God's acre. Today the program was carried out as published. The members of Sedg wick post and veternns of other wars assembled at the Hoard of Trade rooms at 9:30 and at 10, accompanied by the Sedgwick Woman's Relief Corps went to City View cemetery. where appropriate memorial services were held. At the same hour the la dles of the 0. A. R. held services at Leo Mission cemetery. At 1 o'clock this afternoon Sede- wlck Relief Co-ps held their beauti ful marine services, scattering flowers upon the waters from the South Com mercial street bridge. At 2:. '10 the post formed at the Hoard of Trade rooms, and led by Company M. O. N. G., and the Salem Military Hand, marched to the Con-' gregatlonal church, where the fol-1 lowing program was carried out The G. A.

In concluding his Memorial Day ad dress at Lone Fir cemetery, Eatt Port land, Col. Hofor said: "Two beautiful facts, disclosing the real greutness of the nation, stand out as the imperishable ItiBlgnia of our nationality. When the flames of war burned most fiercely, and politic al passions were most highly In flamed, the; remained away deep down In the hearts of Americans in all sections of our country a f internal feeling that never perished, Differ ing from all other civil wars, the res toration of peace wus the slgnnl for the re-establishment of sympathy and confidence. During the war com manders on both sides paid high tri bute to the valor of the troops and the fidelity of the people. A confed erate general wrote: . 'The federals fought like devils.' The unrelenting Sherman, leaving behlud him a trail of fire as he marched through the heart of Dixie, wrote his wife as fol lows about the people of the South: "No amount of poverty or adversity seems to shake their faith. Slaves gone, wealth and luxury gone, money worthless, starvation within view, and ranges enough to muke the henrt trem ble, yet I raiinot see any sign of a let-up some few deserters, plenty tired of war but the masses deter mined to fight to the end." The spirit of a soldierly sympathy was never lacking between the rank and file. There was always trading and swap ping going on between the pickets and between the lines. 'I was but a small boy when the companies formed on the Iowa prai ries, and rode with them In the lum ber wsKona that carried the men to regimental rendezvous. We were nev er out of tho sound of martial iuubIc In those days, and never out of the sight of waving flags. Everybody nlked war, and nearly everybody, man or boy the size of a man, enlist ed or offered to enlist. Captain Chas. King estimates that 800,000 men under 18 enlisted In the Union ar mies, 200,000 not more than 16 and 100.000 not yet 16. The army was well named 'The Boys In Blue." But men were needed, and It waa manhood that went forward, whether 18 or 60. (Continued on pt eight. PORTLAND HHRIAL EHERCISES HADE II! OREGOD LUflCIIEOO at jew mumm hotel BV TIIE PORTLAND AO. GLOB Three Hundred Live Boosters Sit on Oregon Made Chairs, Eat an Oregon Products Bill of Fare, Sing Oregon Songs, Hear Oregon Poetry and "Made in Oregon" Speeches All the Eatables, Drinkables and Smokeables Were Made in Oregon. The greatest-ever "Made in Ore gon" stunt In the history of the state campaign was pulled off at the new Multnomah hotel Wednesday noon by the Portland Ad. club, the liveliest bunch of boosters in all development work. ' About 300 participated, many of the manufacturers of the city being present. There were displays of the Oregon City and Pendleton woolen mills product and a $1600 saddle made at The Dalles for "101 Ranch," and In addition the bill of fare was an Oregon products affair. Col. Bow ers, of the Hotel Multnomah, had pre pared a special menu, as follows, and the effect of making a start of this klntf will be that Oregon hotels will all put some "Made in Oregon" ar ticles on tholr everyday bill of fare: The Oregon Made Menu.

Moore, first vice-president of the Ad. Club, was In charge of the whole event ,aud Its great success Is largely due to IiIb enterprise. ' Some Special Stunts. Del Dlnsinoor, of the Olds, Wort man & King department store, read an original poem from the pen of John II. Cradlebangh, entitled ''Made In Oregon." The Ad. Club quartet sang "My Oregon," to the tune of "Mary land," and the entire audience Joined In the chorus. L. Samuel, of Oregon Life, had the wulls placarded with great signs hearing "Made In Oregon" legends, all right to the point. All around the tables were placards boost lug "Made In Oregon" cigars and pro ducts, and there were 40 kinds of ad vertising matter for the various In terests represented, all bearing on the one point, of support for the Oregon Industries. Tho Portland Oregonlan had a flashlight photogruph made of the luncheon, and published It today with the following report: Ad. Club Luncheon. A luncheon nt which, to quote the chairman of the day, everything upon the table In eatables, drinkables and In smokeables is a strictly Oregon made product," was eaten, drunk and smoked by the nienjlicrs of tho Ad. Club at their weekly meeting at the Multnomah hotel yesterday. The crowd was so much larger than us ual that the tables were set In the banquet hall Instead of the assembly room, and every place waa taken. About the walls were placards ur ging patronage of Oregon Industries by Oregon people and, to point the morul of the captions, the rostrum was piled full of Oregon-made goods of every description. E. Hofer, chair man, called the attention of the guests that even the chairs upon which ther sat were made In an Oregon factory, and urged every member of the Ad Club to make himself a personal mis sionary among his friende in the ' spreading of the ''Oregon-made" pro paganda. Support for Oregon Urged. "If it were possible for 11 8 to stand up here In this assembly, EOO strong, and affirm that every one of us waa wearing a suit made In Oregon, from wool grown on the backs of Oregon raised Bheep," he said, "and if this could be spread among manufac turers of the Eastern states, it would not be long until we bave them knocking at our doors and asking for , an opportunity to establish factories here. 1 ' (Continue 00 page 4.)
