Are we growing apathetic about these things? -v MEMORIAL DAY. set aside for the specific purpose of publicly honoring our dead Soldiers. Sailors and Marines has had a lack V-f public support in the past few ears.

Preparation for a fitting program to celebrate the holiday is not a one man job but needs coordination of effort from schools churches a ml clubs. It cannot be planned a few days ahead of the event, but needs careful consideration weeks in advance. THESE POINTS are made without criticism of any person or group of persons. A year-end balance of accounts, they only reflect what appears to be a trend of the times If we are' to attract our share of city folks who wish to move to thecountry, and build homes and spend money with our merchants, we had better perk up. And the very best time to start perking is.

the first of the year. IT IS ONLY LOGICAL, that haviim pointed out. these things, we should be the very first to pledge money, time, effort and space toward the correction of "die omission of duty. That we do without reservation or evasion. AS THE YEAR 1917 begins, we extend our best wishes for health, wealth and happiness to the people of this prosperous community.

Free from want, fear or oppression, our life, by any sane standard of measuie. should rank anionk Hie very best the world Las to offer. AND AS A LAST word for the jear 19 we thank our readers collection..
