18U1—MEMORIAL DAY—1917
Memorial Day nan horn of a war
fought "that this Nation, under Ood,
should have a now birth of freedom,
find that government of the people,
for the people and by the people shall
not perish from the earth."
A half rent ury or more has parsed
sine that immortal utteruiicc. Now
the Nation is again in arms, to fight
that 4'the world may I «> made safe
for demoeraey."
Then, the young republic, struggling
upward toward its vision of free
doni, learned through the bitter tra
\ail of « i\ 11 war that the Nation eould
not exist half slaves and half free.
The \ ision has broadened with the
widening yehrs. Then it was for the
freedom of a race the Nation fought.
Now the sword is drawn for the im-
perilled liberty of the world.
Tin' natal day of our independence
we have been wont to eelebrate with
loud acclaim and vaunting pride.
Memorial bay haw ever been our time
for solemn contemplation. Another
Memorial hay has passed, and as
Ameriea laid its •flowers on the graves
of it- soldier dead, it heard again that
revered voice from the slopes of
(Jettysburg, bidding us to be not un-
mindful that ''it is rather for us t«>
be here, dedicated to the great task
remaining before us, that from these
honored dead we take increased devo-
tion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of de\o-
tion; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in
A beautiful, a poetic symbolism
Memorial Ibiv lias come to be to us:
The people who walk with slow steps
in the quiet cemeteries, the children in
their white dresses who, with loving
hands place wreaths "alike for the
friend and for the foe,*' tin* vener
able men who are the links that bind
us to an age long gone, and as we
helie\ed, forever gone, when nation
warred with nation and blood lust
grev in hearts that had thrilled at the
sight of the same flag.
And now with what a new and sud-
den signficance has Memorial Day
been \ ester. With what different
thought than a year ago do they go
11 lovingly laden with flowers. ' How
much more reverently than in those
eonveytioaa) days that already seem
so far away, are the flags planted on
each patriot mound. And who is
there, when Taps, clear and soft as i
benedict ion. i< sounded for those who
"dream of battlefields no more,"
will not remember that on a neighhoi
iny hill on the morrow from the same
lilverj bugle will leap the. Reveille
for another generation of freedom's
soldiers!
If solemn memories of the past and
earnest thought for the future bring
that new birth of freedom, who shall
any that those have died in vain for
whom flowers will be spread in far

Ship Only Surplus—the Real Surplus
That all feed and grain sold by
Oklahoma farmers at harvest time
and shipped from the state will be
regarded us surplus stocks and will
not be shipped back later in the sea
son, as in past years of plenty, is a
warning which John Fields, of the
t>k lahoma Farmer, gave state millers
and grain men in their annual meet
ing at Oklahoma City, last week. In
addition to urging all grain alid feed
buyers and consumers to keep the
supplies in the state until it was
known definitely how much would be
required. ftditor Fields has appealed
through his editorial columns to the
farmer in the same manner.
The wisdom of Mr. Field's advice
already is manifesting itself ifques
tiouaires received by local millers
and grain buyers this week from the
I'nited States bepnrtment of Agricul-
ture are to be used by the department
for the distribution of this surplus.
The letter iu part, reads: "One of
the most important problems in the
present emergency is that relating to
the supply and distribution of food
and feed stuffs The Department of
Agriculture is especially desirous of
securing reliable information relative
to tin1 amount of principal grains iu
store; the amount of grain, seed and
hay shipped from and shipped into
each county of the I'nited States in
each month of tlx1 vear Iflfl; the
amount of grain, seed and hay in ex
• ess of that needed for consumption
mi vour county at the present time.
''Our onlv object in securing this
information is for the purpose of as
sisting in every way possible iu the
equitable distribution of the products
indicated.'* finest iona ires are furnish
ed for products moving from this
territory, the amount that is shipped
into this territory and the available
surplus.
.1 ohii Field's editorial on the sub
iect, a-4 mentioned to the millers and
grain dealers at Oklahoma City last
week, follows:
The business of farming carries
many burdens in Oklahoma. Some of
them may not ho unloaded and avoid
•d easily. Hut there are some unpro
I the locality until it is ascertained
I that there is enough in storage to
' «tippl\ the community > need for one
year.
The railroads will have plenty to
; do without hauling hay and corn up
the road and down the road, from and
to ever\ shipping point.
We have been selling too much and
buying too much of the same things
in Ok lahoma.
'< Out job is now to produce all that
we can, keep all we are sure to need
* ii the farm, in the community, in J
the township, county and state, and j
I forward the rest of it as speedily as
; | ossible to places where it will be of
greatest help to our nation and to our
allies.

that they can spare under this plan,
commencing about .'upe 10th. Under

in case of dire necessity.
We would apreciate it very much if
you would get in touch with your

in your vicinity; give them this infor

at the earliest possible date what they
could do along his line. If you could
