O’NEILL OBSERVES MEMORIAL DAY UNDER AUSPICES OF AMERICAN LEGION O’Neill paid tribute of respect to the memories of soldier dead of Its country’s wars with a patriotic pro gram at Knights of Columbus hall, Wednesday afternoon, followed by the decoration of the graves of the de parted ones at both of the city’s ceme teries. The services were under the auspices of Simonson post, American Legion, in charge of Commander Cecil W. Conklin, and began with a parade of the Legion, other ex-service men and veterans of the Civil and Spanish American wars, and little flower girls bearing nature’s beautiful offerings for the day, from the Legion club rooms to the hall, at 2 o’clock. The parade was headed by the O’Neill band. At the .hall, which had been suitably decorated by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Legion, the invocation was pro nounced by the Reverend Georgt Longstaff, and there were selections by St. Mary’s Glee Club, a reading by Miss Mae Hammond, a vocal solo by Miss Mary Fitzsimmons, a reading by Miss Loretta Phalin, a duet by Mrs. F. J. Kubitschek and Mrs. H. J Reardon, a reading by Miss Marguerite Hough and the Memorial Day address by the Reverend W. L. Philley, of Ewing, a member of the American Legion and himself a fighting man in the great World war who went into sendee an enlisted man and came out a captain of the line. The address of the Rev erend Philly on true Americanism was a most eloquent one. He reviewed the nation’s conflicts from its birth until the present, spoke of its ideals and scathingly denounced the Klu Klux Clan and similar organizations. True Americanism, he said, did not find it necessary to conceal itself behind a hooded robe. To those who worshiped other countries as superior to cur own, he suggested that there they should go. The service at the hall concluded with the blowing of taps by Simonson post bugler, Chauncey Porter, a soldier of distinguished service decorated many times for bravery in action across the seas. The Legion and other veterans, and citizens in automobiles and afoot then again paraded, from the hall to Calvary and Prospect Hill cemeteries, headed by the band, and there the beautiful ceremony of decorating the graves was carried out, and Bugler Porter again softly blew Taps, over those who sleep. ATTENDANCE AT JUNE GOLF TOURNEY PROMISES TO BREAK ALL RECORDS Officers and members of the O’Neill Country Club are wondering how they are going to entertain the immense at tedance already indicated for the an nual invitation golf tournament which opens on the club course June 10. It would not be at all surprising if golf ers from both coasts were in attend ance, as John P. Mann, of Chicago, almost a thousand miles away, has served notice that he will be here. Mr. Mann, who is a non-resident member of the club, says that the tournament is all the talk in the east. The tourna ment, as the first big one in the state this year, will have delegations in at tendance from practically every club in north and west Nebraska and mem bers of the Omaha, Sioux City and Lincoln country and golf clubs also are making application for entry blanks. The list of prizes to be hung up is a long and valuable one and on it will be represented nearly every golf goods house in the country. Then, Monday night is going to be the Good-fellow ship banquet, which in itself is a big event. The committee on arrange ments is preparing an extensive pro gram of entertainment and in addi tion to golf there will be something else doing every minute of the four days. The grounds and green com mittee is at work on the course, which never has been in better shape and everything will be in tip top shape for the first drive in the opening flight of the qualifying rounds bright and early the morning of the tenth.
