Vet of 1812 is Buried in

the grave of a soldier of the War of 1812 in South Roslon's beauti-ful cemetery, and will be fitting-ly remembered on Memorial day.

It is that of Harvey Hatch, and his story, and thai of his wife arc briefly fold on their head stones.

These are the inscriptions: Harvey Hatch, 1792-1869. Veteran of war, 1812. Harriet W 1796-1856. There a re 'many old markers in

the same cemetery. Caretaker Lewis informed us

the oldest was marked thus: Jesse Williams, died Aug. 3.

1838, age 43 years, 9 months, 24 days.

Clarrissa, wife of Jesse Wil-liams. died Aug. 16, 1849. aged 54 years.

A handsome granite monument bears this inscription:

Edson English, born Sept. 12. 18111. died May 20, 1883.

Abigail English, born April 14, 1799. died Dec. 31. 1890.

The couple thus memorialized were among Boston township's early pioneers and the progen-tors of a numerous family.

The Inexpensive Way To Achieve The Modern

Decorative Touch TO HELP YOl" achieve the smart contemporary decora-tive note without refurnishing your home, there is noth-ing like wallpaper. Wallpaper enables you lo attain freshened decorative distinction for every room. . . with-out relegating heirlooms . . . without experimenting in oddity . . . without expending overmuch.

It is not strange that wallpaper is depended upon lo carry the decorative scheme of so many of America's most ex-clusive homes. Wallpaper furnishes the perfect setting for our furniture, our pictures,, our clothes—ourselves. We can make that setting as vigorously modern as we wish and yet send none of our treasured period furni ture to the gar-ret. We don't have to make over our homes completely to bring them up-lo-dale in a decorative sense.

Wallpaper works the subtle magic which transforms a museum-like room lo a miracle of cheer. Wallpaper can turn even the hospital-like cell which is the average American bathroom into a room worthy to be considered a part of the home's decorative ensemble. Wallpaper can bring color and design into a kitchen, a closet or a hall-way which migh otherwise have been less attractive than the more important rooms of the house. Truly—wallpa-per works wonders.

COUNTY TRACK MEET HERE JUNE 6.

The tracksters of the High school have been very successful thus far this season in downing most opponents. The boys have won several dual and triangular meets and also the Regional at Mt. Pleasant. At the State meet last Saturday Lowell took ninth place with 7 points, while the winners. St. Augustine, of Kala-mazoo, garnered 15 points. East Grand Rapids scored 7 points al-so. Most of the schools in the K. C. I. A. A. scored points at l^ansing Saturday and the pro-spects for a close contest al the county meet which will be held here in Lowell on June 6 are very bright. Coach Finch, until last Saturday, freely predicted • that Lowell would again . take the county honors, but after the af-fair at Lansing last Saturday he stated that his boys would be lucky if they would emerge the victors on June 6. It is expect-ed that a large crowd will be in attendance.

The different Scout troops gave exhibitions of their Scout activities, one stunt being the building of a log bridge which was strong enough to bear a huge truck loaded with boys.

It was a most thrilling ex-hibition. one to inspire our boys lo more fai thful loyalty lo the flag of our country." A.

beyond the life we know seems inborn in the human race—a important part of our heritage.

In this connection a helpful bit of homely philosophy is contain-ed in the book, "Eben Holden," writ ten some thir ty years ago by Irving Bacheller. Many of our readers are probably familiar wilh this novel of the North country located around Lake Champlain and Northern Ver-mont.

To such readers it will not be difficult to recall the chapter wherein the old family doctor is described as being caught in a blizzard, and his horse, through familiarity with the place, wan-ders to the farm-house of David Brower. Here the old doctor is carried inlo the house where he dies—frozen to death. Accord-ing to the custom of ear l ier days Kben Holden and young William Brower sit in an adjoining room from that of the par lor where the dead man lies. I quote f rom the book:

"Uncanny noises broke in up-on the stillness of Ihe old house. Its t imbers, racked in the mighty grip of the cold, creaked and set-tled. Sometimes there came a sharp, breaking sound, like the crack of bones.

Farmers in Grant County, N. Dakota, increased their potato yields from 10 to 2A% by this treatment. Elmer Osking. of the same state, writes: "Semesan Bel has anything beat that we have ever tried for treat-ment by at least 15 to 20%." When tested in Adams County, Wisconsin, Semcjan Bel (formerly known as Dip Dust) gave an increase of 11.4 bushels p^r ocre.

lAKE IT "y FROM DAD Chol'ey" ************** j*****************.

Do Nice G i r l s P e t ? "You look sleepy tonight. Hoh

too much pany lasl niglii. Think you stayed at il preliy late."

ttiih made no re ply. lie was qulle absorbed wilh iil» thoughts. T h e n suddenly he got up and crossed ihe room toward hi* father with a half clouded «X|iressi.>P on his face.

"Dad. I was dis appointed in the parly and it's been

troubling me ever since. You re-member how many times you have told me 'hands ofT with the prls. I've been wondering if lhat was Just a notion of yours for ceriainly none of the rest of the boys have ever hoard of such an idea and cer-tainly do not practice it. But what I want to know is. Dad. do nice girls pet?"

Iminedialely Mr. Smiihhoiifih un-derstood the mood. Suddenly It dawned upon him as never before that his lad was growing up—ma-turing; that he had come already to the place where he must face social questions and arrive at a personal philosophy.

"So that's what's bothering you. Is It? Well, I'm not surprised ex-cept, Boh, at ihe way you put the question. Why not turn It around and share the responsibility? Do line boys pet? Surely it isn't en-tirely up to the girl to decide. Bob. and your question smacks too much of the old and certainly out-worn Idea that anything a man can get hy with with a woman is all right; that when things go wrong it's the woman's fault. Hob get it straight—that's one of the surviv-ing ideas of the savage age. In all social questions the man is equally responsible with the woman or more so, notwithstanding the fact that for generations society has al-lowed men to have their tihig. as they say, hut have positively out-lawed with a bitter injustice the woman who has accommodated the man.

"One of these times I'd like to discuss with you this whole ques-tion of a double standard of morals. It's a big question now and I'm afraid we'll have to say that many, many nice girls and flne boys do pot.

"Let's start here, Bob. Petting in any form is but the expression of the inevitable dawning and de-velopment of tiie sex In life. Healthy boys and healthy girlb are naturally drawn to each other. It is nature's law. Without it, all progress would end. There would be no marriage, no homes, no chil-dren. and no race.

"If, on the other hand, every ho.\ and every girl, as they plunge into young manhood and young woman-hood, could have an intelligent, broad-gauge education along sex lines and have right attitudes to-ward eacli other established be-fore 'petting time' comes the prob-lems and dangers would be very greatly minimized.

"It is, however, because most young people, even in tlds enlight-ened day, have no adequate under standing of such things lhat they Just follow along their physical Im-pulses as far as social custom will let them, experimenting, as it were. Petting, my hoy, is hut a popular and slang expression for the age old play of making love.

"True love and courtship are the most sacred things we humans know, so to. through ignorance, drag them down to the level of cheap pastime Is to very greatly belittle your own self-respect and totally unlit some fine girl for the great love that will sometime come to her and be the main spring of her life.

"Petting Involves Intimacies usu-ally associated only with those who have pledged themselves as future mates. What real fellow wishes to have any part whatso-ever In breaking down a girl's natural reserve by a willingness to handle or paw-over or spoon with her even though she permits it, foi surely with the loss of her reserve comes the loss of self-respect. Cheapen her thus In her own eyes, and you have dealt a serious blow to her character.

"Pawing over, spooning and close dancing that are indulged in mere-ly for Ihc sake of physical thrills are apt to arouse emotions which may be checked with difficulty.

"So, Boh. this 'indoor sport' of pawing over Is a pretty dangerous and shoddy one for a thoroughbred to Indulge In when he understands.

"Now I know full well there are foolish girls who demand such at-tentions; who have been led to be-lieve that boys insist upon such fa-miliarity and who consent In order to 1)6 popular and to 'gel Invited.' It Is true that too often girls who refuse get left out, but Bob. that's where Hie self-respecting boy comes In when he deliberately seeks as his partner at social af-fairs that sweet girl who would rather die than he pawed over by first one and then another igno-rant youth. Such practices as com-mon 'pelting' will disappear from well-bred gatherings. Don't ever let anybody fool you, boy. One of the chiefest assets of a desirable girl friend Is her utter unattain-ableness by all ordinary methods. Have always a grand good glorious time—be a regular guy—you know how 1 despise a sissy, hut remem-ber you are a Smitbhough, re-spected and honored. Make the girls of your choice happy to ac-cept your Invitations because of your flne self-respect for both your-self and them."

Psalm 10, quot-ing verses 1-9:

The heavens de-clare the glory of God; nnd the fir-

mament showeth His handi-work. Day unto day utteroth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to tho end of the world.

In them haih he set a taber-nacle for Ihe sun. which is us a bridegroom coming out of his his chamber, and rejolceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth Is from the ond of the heaven, and his cir-cuit unto tho ends of it; nnd there Is nothing hid from the heat ihtrcof.

The law of the Lord is per-fect. converting tiie soul: the testimony of tiie Lord Is sure, making wise tho simple. The statutes of tho I/trd are right, rejoicing the heart: tho com-mandment of t lie Lord Is pure, enlightening the eyes. Tho fear of the Lord Is clean, en-during forever; tiie Judgments of the Lord are true and right-eous altogether.

In the beginning was tho Word, and the Word was with God. and tho Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

I did not moan to listen; bnt standing there In the dusk of the staircase, uncertain whether to go on or go back. I caught a sentence or two, before It became clear to me that, up or down, I must move on.

Off that Infernal ship. Of course you will. Jinny. You don't expect me to believe you missed the boat by accident?"

"Missed It for a lark." "You didn't miss It for a lark—

Genevieve. If you didn't miss It for me, you missed It for some one else."

JInny'i reply was tuneful. Ir-relevant and chiefly concerned with the unluckily comic love ad-ventures of a "coon In Alabam."

Then the other person, the man, said something that woke me up.

"Where," he asked, with a sud-den rasp in his voice, "Is the beachcomber fellow who picked you out of the sea?"

"At the bottom of it, for all 1 know," answered Gin-Sling.

"Jinny, you're enough to—" That was all I beard. Conscious that I had already listened too long for decency. I hurried down the rub-ber-carpeted stairs, and out Into the desolate back street behind the hotel. I wanted to see who would come out I had half guessed al-ready. . . .

Yes. It was Sir Richard Fan- ! shaw's figure, thin and tall, that I stalked out presently from the dusky doorway, followed by that other tall, thin figure that was Jinny.

From what I had heard. I guessed that Fanshaw had left the ship at some intermediate port, and that Jinny, at the same port, had— I accidentally, or purposely aban-; doned her passage, and stayed be hind.

She and Fanshaw had returned Australia-wards in the same ship; had disembarked at Thursday is-1 land—I didn't quite see why. but that could pass—and were staying at the Cosmopnlis firand. Fan Shaw, clearly, was making light love to her; she did not favor his suit, and he was Inclined to blame me for the rebufr. Thought she was | "gone" on me. Imagined (owing to the gossip he had no doubt heard on the ship) that she had aban doned her voyage and her contract and headed back toward Papua— because of me. That was the situ ation. as I sir.ed It up.

While I was pondering these things, no less a person than Sir Richard himself came down the steps of the hotel. I was clear in his way, but he scarcely brushed me with his glance, as he passed. In that instant, I realized, what I Indeed I might have known before, that to Pla's fiance, I was nothing more than a name. I had seen him on the ship, but he had not—con-sciously—seen me. "Just as well." i I thought, though I could not have: told why.

The sight of him. busy and pur • poseful about I knew not what, re-; minded me that my telegram was still unsent I went up to my room to concoct It; but I had scarcely got out pencil and paper, leaning over my suitcase with back to the door, when I was suddenly and not disagreeably blinded by 'two long cool hands that closed, without warning, over my eyes.

"Guess who." said Jinny's voice., with Jinny's own unmistakable chuckle In IL

"The prettiest girl in the Pacific," 1 answered, pulling down her hands,, and twisting her face till it met mine. There seemed no reason-now—why I should not kiss this Jinny, and I did. with thorough-

ness. I had not wanted to kiss her on the boat, when the vision of Pla Laurler was still gilded with the light of not impossible future hopes. Now . . . What did it matter?

Let Pla marry, or not marry, whom she listed; there was always the mangrove wall, and what it signified to stand between us two. . . .

Jinny broke away from me; she was flushed and laughing. I thought I had never seen her so pretty.

"Tell me what it's all about?" I said. "Why uren't you delighting

the smart folk of Singapore, and why isn't Sir Ulchard Fanshaw— well, why Is he here, anyhow? I don't mean why Is he with you; that's his luck—but what the deuce do the two of you want in this dead dustheap of a place?"

Jinny fettled herself purrlngly in a hammock chair like a slim kitten that curls Itself on a pillow. Her eyes were half closed; she looked beneath long lashes, heavy with paint, and across the plain of scllla-blue sea, and the far-out fairy isles of Tuesday and Wednesday, and the purple crags of Prince of Wales and Horn. I think, so look-ing, she saw none of these things, nor yet the sky with galloping tradewind clouds, nor .the aear

palm tree tops, that "almost Slew across the rail beside us. I think that she saw only rough Phil Amory, called Rlack Sheep, and the day, for her. ran filled with shining gold. . . .

There's time and time for think-ing. in tho lands where black sheep live. Sometimes, since then. I have wondered how things might have gone; what my life, and that of an-other. might have been, had there been no Pla Laurler on the steam-er. If there had been Just Jinny Treacher. Jinny whom I had saved at the near risk of my own life; Jinny who gave me—I know—Uiat which she never gave to else.

"What am I doing?" she an-swered lightly. "Missed me boat In Sourabaya. stuflln' rice table at Ihe Ornnje. Fanshaw was there gorg-ln' himself, too; he was booked for Sourabaya—oil business of some kind—and he lent me my fare back to Sydney. There was a boat next day, and I thought I'd gel away from him by taking It, but spare me days, that wasn't his idea; he saw his man nnd did his business nnd got away In twenty-four hours, along with me. And when I got off here, he got off. so that's that'

"He got off." I said, "because he's going across to Papua; he has one of his exploring trips on.

She nodded "I know; he told n-". He's heard something about it that he didn't like, this morning; he got fair snake-headed when his letters came along In some little boat I wouldn't have had a chance of this yam with you. only that he went off for the telegraph office as soon as he'd read the let-ters."

I answered her nothing at a l l -silenced by a new and unpleasant thought. I had brought over a gov-ernment mail bag in the cutter, as one usually did when crossing to "T. I." What was In it? Who from Paru. had been writing to Sir Richard Fanshaw?

Spicer's cool indifference to my departure was easily comprehensi-ble. If he had obtained, through that very circumstance, the chance of warning Sir Richard against myself and my ugly knowledge. It was no news to him. I dared say; he seemed to be Sir Richard's crea-ture through and through.

Over these thoughts I sat gloom-ing and worrying, till Jinny no-ticed tbe sudden drop In tempera-ture, and began to t^ase. Then I roused myself. She must be In Fansbaw's confidence, more or less. I thought; it wouldn't do to set that keen mind of hers to work. 1 kissed her again, with no one but goats to look on, and then Jumped up and declared my Intention of go-ing out on business. What I meant to do was to sail my boat over to Cape York, and send my message-now more than ever necessary—by land line. The address of Pla Lau-rler's father was easily found; I knew where I could get a directory and year book of "Prominent Aus-tralians."

First, however, I went to the post office, on the off chance of mall. I had to wait a little; some-body, Inside, was busy telephoning a message to Cape York after the strange local fashion—words spelt out letter by letter, with a Chris-tian name for each, to avoid blun-ders. Mechanically, as I leaned on the counter. 1 began taking up the message, which seemed public for all the world to hear—

" . . P for Peter. L for Laura, E for Emily, A for Alice, S for Samuel. E for Emily, D for Dora. . . . T for Thomas. 0 for Oliver. . . . H for Harry, A for Alice, V for Victoria. E for Emily. . . ."

Somebody was "pleased to have" something. Waiting, I listened; I was really not conscious of eaves-

Body about Tatatata; and In order to do that, she must have got It out of Orace. I.ord knows. It was sensational enough. . . .

Well then! what then! I knew what then. The chain of logic was too clear to miss. It looked as If fortune had delivered Richard Fan-shaw into my hands: as if oppor-tunity were there, ready and wait-ing, for very satisfying revenge. He was certainly fond of (ienevieve Treacher, or he would not have taken the risk of spoiling his chances with Pla. by running off with Gin-Sling. She. I made no doubt, could do anything with him

anyone ! that she chose. She would do any-thing—find out anything—If I lifted my linger . . . for me. . . .

Minds are Illogical; they make small trouble about swallowing camels, then balk at something less than a sparrow. I don't know why I. Phil Amory. black sheep, who had Just been listening to a pri-vate telegram, and planning to act on knowledge thus discreditably ac-quired. should have decided, sud-denly and irrevocably, that I would not do the thing I had been tempt-ed to do. In the matter of Jinny and her lover.

"It's a dirty trick," I said to myself, and shook the thought away.

Jinny was not to be seen when I got back to the hotel. I knew she would be looking for me. later on. I knew I should find her at my cor-ner of the veranda, when the great moon of Torres began to sail like a golden galleon among the palm tree tops, and the straits nnd la-lands were veiled In fairy blue. I knew what the magic of Thursday —for Thursday Is magic, still, de-spite all ageing and decay—would do for me and for her. And I thought of that little head, with Its close casque of shining hair, so very far away. And I took my gear from my room, and marched down to the beach below, where the cutter, out In green water, was swaying with the tides.

Night found me at Cape York, with my telegram ready lo send.

But uiey and all they spell cannot erase A shivered tree against the saddest sky That ever shrouded earih; a shell-shot space Where broken shapes In khaki blankets lie, Some moaning in the slanting spears of rein, Some peaceful with the peace ot those who die, Hoarse guns that crack and crash—again—again; Lead feet that drag along a dull, wet lane. Chill streams that from tne rusty helmets flow, And sodden clothes; and dank winds that complain And scourge the flesh, and wring the heart below. Ah, comraoes! When the wind and sky are gray.

Future Memorials

Decoration day Is undergoing a process of evolution. It waa estab-lished after the Civil war as a spe-dflc occasion for paying tribute to the Northern soldlera who had fallen In that struggle. Than the wounds of war still were bleeding. The armed clashes below the Po-tomac had brought heartbreaks Into thousands of homes, and trlb-utee to the memory of the fallen made strong appeal.

But the specific occasion that gave birth to the holiday U reced-ing Into the mists of history. Dur-ing the interrenlng half century there have been tendencies In two directions—one toward a festival of patriotism and one toward an occasion of general memorial for all the dead.

It Is this latter tendency which Is likely to conquer In the end. It seems probable that gradually the occasion will attain tbe status of All Soul's dsy In some of tbe Eu-ropean countries. It will be one day In the year given over entirely to the memory of all those who have fallen on the battlefields of life and gone before us on that mysterious pilgrimage Into the dark. But It will come In the high tide of the month of flowers, sym-bols of ever-recurring life and hope, rather than In the melancholy mists of nutnmn. when contempla-tion r ' death Is most natural.

A people has need of such a day. The actual observance of Memorial day long has transcended the spe-cific purpose for which It was es-tablished. It has become a time of family mourning, not alone for soldiers who died for their coun-try, but for mothers and fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives and children. They are all gone as comrades In the one great war which encompasses all other wars —that of the weak, helpless mor-tal against the forces of fate and nature.

Tbe time may come when May 30 will be the most profoundly re-ligious occasion of the year, when tbe relations of men With each other, which result In states and cults and wars, will be burled tem-porarily In contemplation of the relations of all men with the pow-ers which rule the waves of the great ocean of time and space upon which our little world is tossed throagb the great darkness.

Day of Reunion

Host happy, certainly, was the choice of the 30th of May as Me-morial day, not only because It comes In tbe fullness of the season of flowers, but because It does not fall on the anniversary of the more sanguinary engagements of the OItII war. Of course, in four years of lighting, there were conflicts on that date, but they were minor.

Memorial day Is fortunate in still another way. It may fairly be re-garded. In view of the final scenes of the- war, as a day typical of peace and reunion. Not until the close of Hay. 1865, did It become clear not only that the war was over In the main Held of conflict, but that the struggle would also be terminated west of the Mississippi. The surrender of Lee took place on the 9th of April, but military op-erations In Alabama and Georgia continued throughout the greater part of the month.

The capitulation of the redoubt-able Joe Johnston occurred on April 28. but Kirby Smith beyond the Mississippi had called upon his army to continue tbe struggle, nnd during the three weeks following both citlsens and troops in that region took steps for that purpose. It was feared lhat a failure to comprehend the hopelessnajs of further resistance might prolong guerilla operations In the South-west through the summer at least. However, better counsels prevailed when the true state of affairs be-came known there; and on the 2Gth of Slay, at New Orleans. General Buckner signed a convention with General Osterhaus for the surren-der of the entire army of Kirby. From that time all armed resist-ance on the part of the Confed-eracy was over.

These events of more than half a century ago show that Memorial day Is properly to be regarded as a memorial of tbe peace that fol-lowed the mightiest and bloodiest civil war In history. Even during the war tbe women of the South strewed the graves of soldiers with flowers. Tbe custom was gradual-ly adopted throughout tbe country, and In IWS Gen. John A. Logan, as commander of tbe Grand Army of the Republic, appointed May 30 for the purpose to which It has since been dedicated by tbe whole na-tion.—Detroit News.

dltlons normally to be exi-ected, but a few more years will elapse until the survivors will represent a mere fraction of the total now alive. Thus are fading the re-minders of a great tragic. If heroic, event in the nation's hlKtory. Oth-er days, other events press upon the attention of the country. Bnt they should leave a large place in Its thought for all of those, living

between the "tales. Every year the numbers of those who are able to attend these affairs are seen to be smaller, the hands a little less steady, movements more uncertain and the line of march—aided by tbe motor car—somewhat shorter. The actual rate at which time Is making Its conquest of these he-roes, however. Is shown In reports of the commissioner of pensions with reference to Union survivors.

It Is evident that under the con-
