Next Monday will bo Decoration day The <1. \ II of Falls City has arranged for a fitting observation of the occasion. A program of the plans will he found on anode r page, also some Items of interesting His tory. Falls City owes it to the veterans still remaining to turn out In a body as a token of appreciation* for what they have done The ranks of the old Soldiers are thinning rap Idly. Each succeeding years as they line up for parade, pitiful gaps show in the ranks. Death w ill soon have claimed the last remaining veteran of our greni rebellion. While lew are still w ith us, let us not he unmindful j of the great sacrifice they rendered In tin* interests of liberty and union, nnd yield them freey the meed of appreciation nnd honor which is theirs by right or merit, lie grate ful. Take the old fellows by the hand and say, thank you. Show them that you have not forgotten the risk, the struggle, the pain, and the !oss. Put a garland on the graves of the dead, hut slup the living on the back nnd say, good' And say it tearfully. Warm their old hearts once more, perhaps it may l>e your last chance. God bless (lie old battle si arred veterans, and may He speak peace to their souls! * • • HERE’S THE RUB. What’s the matter with the churches? Nothing, nothing at all. The difficulty lies deeper. Too many members are followers of Christ at long range. The average living of the average Christian will not grade high. Ilis piety is of (he mediocre. Job-lot sort “seconds." That a man Is a church member no longer hears with it the assurance that he wont grind the fnees of the poor; or not . put I he large potatoes on top; or goug" you in a horse trade; or ac eept graft; or support the saloon; or I vote for the gang. Tin1 world, good naturedly grins at these gaps bet ween profession and practice. And is there! any wonder that people who do not understand.ask the question,"what is the matter with the churches?’’ The world is not a fool. Low-grade living will discount high grade preaching every time. When church member ship again amounts to a badge of integrity, and the Christian name be comes synonomous with the Christian in practice, then and then only will the church of Christ receive the res pect which Is its due by virtue of its high claims. • • • A BAND? WHY NOT? Kails City showed its appreciation of good music In the way the people turned out Thursday evening to hear the Humboldt band play. The per sons so constituted as not to he able to enjoy music ami especially band music are happily very few. Band music, not only offers a per fectly harmless variety of amusement but also bears with it what makes j for culture and refinement. It Is' a real handicap for Kalis City to be without a good band. Outside help is not always available when needed ! and is necessarily expensive. Decora tion Day will suffer, because unfor tunately the expense of hiring a band has compelled the G. A. K. to! make shift without. This ought not be. In fact it need not be. Kails City needs a good band. Sho needs a band more just now than ever be fore. The interests of the “Greater Falls City" must not be lost sight of. There are competent and will ing young men prepared to do their part. ,What is needed is a capable leader and instructor. One en thusiastic brother has offered a lib eral donation for a band fund. With the item of expense accounted for the work will go forward. The time Is short. Who will be next to boost f»r a Kails City band? * * * GOVERNMENT WHITEWASH. Slack a half bushel of time with boiling water. Cover during the oper ation to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid throug a sieve or cloth strainer an 1 add to it a peck of salt which has previously been dissolved in warm water. Then dissolve one pound of clean glue by soaking it well or beating iu double kettle, and add to the whitewash, together with three pounds of rice, pounded fine and' boiled to a paste, and a half pound of Spanish whiting. Then place the com pound in a small kettle and place In a water hath and bring to a boil. When the substance begins lo bubble remove it from the fire and add five gallons of boiling water Cover up and let stand for a'fcw days. When wished for use, re-heat, a-d apply while hot, • « * A LIMITED PARCELS POST. The demand for a parcels post of some sort will not down, no matter what the "xpress companies, the mail order houses, the fourth-dais post masters or country merchants may say. The absurdity of being able to semi parcels to almost any part of the world at a less rate than the same parcel can be sent to the next county seat Is so great that the people will before long get tired of it congress man who cannot see any way to en act a sensible parcels post law. There is no effort, that we know of to si ( tire a general parcels post. The i t fort is confined to securing some sort of a limited parcels post, something on the lines of that rec ommended by Postmaster Von Meyer two years ago. 11 y a limited parcels post we mean a parcels post at low rates, starting out* from a town that has rural routes, and limited to the rural routes that emanate from that town. Such it hi 11 is now before congress. It is not necessary for us to go into tin- details of this bill Suffice it to say that it consolidates third and fourth class matt r for rural route purposes, and limits the weight to eleven pounds, without regard to size. The rates are as follows; For packages weighing 2 ounces or less, I cent; 4 ounces or less, 2 cents; S ounces or less, 3 cents; 12 ounces or less, 4 cents; I pound or less, f> I cents; over 1 pound, a cents plus 2 cents for each additional pound in excess of I pound. \V t> cannot for th<> life of us see how the enact meat of t his law will in any way injuriously affect the busi ness of merchandising in the coun try. L1nd"r this law the really up to-date merchants would bring in goods by tlie carload by freight, and would be ready to supply by mail any reasonable demand that the farmer would make. It would cost the mail order bouse $1.7ti to send an eleven-pound package to the farmer by mail, and about half that amount or a little more if sent by express. The persons whom it would help are the farmers and the country merchants who are up-to-date. The persons who would naturally be op posed to i! are those Interested in the mail order houses and express companies. We have bad reason to believe for some time past that funds to organize the retail merch ant's association to oppose ibis bill. This Is the only way that we can account for some suggestions that .were made to the County Life Com mission in the way of paying its ex penses. We have no proof of this that we can quote, but there are some things of which one may be pretty firmly convinced without, having proof that would stand In a court of justice and this is one of them.-Wallace’s Parmer.
