dedication exercises opened at 1:30 p. ni. with music by the drum lt;corps, followed by invocation by i Rev. Roy Snodgrass of Clarinda, 1 and a song by the glee club of 20 i voices 1Acting for the board of super- 1 visors and the soldiers relief com- ' mission, A. B. Clark presented the i monument. E. A, Pace accepted it for the soldiers and public. Both speeches were good and well recevied by the audience. After a 1 song the glee club, Rev. M. M. Cable of Clarinda was introduced j as the speaker of the afternoon. It would be rather hard to give a re- ( sume of his address as much of its force would be lost without his personality, and that we cannot put 1 into type. We might sum it up , by saying it was a splendid talk. But it was moie than that. It was a great lesson in patriotism. 1 He did not mince words. He told the people things they ought to be told, and told to them often. And ■ we believe many who heard him are better patriots for his having spoken here. Although Rev. j Cable is a minister ofjthe gospel he , sent the Kaiser to hell with as glib a tongue and just as easy as some j of us laymen do. Rev. Cable is a lt;brilliant man, a forceful speaker, and his patriotism is beyond ques- ( tion. We shall listen to him with , great pleasure whenever the opportunity presents itself.At the close of his address the J glr-e club sang a song and then j came the unveiling of the monument by Blanche Hartman and J Gladys Brown. During this cere- J monv the old soldiers formed a hollow square about the monument ] and the glee club 9ang America. JAfter the unveiling the soldiers j were arranged in front of the monument and a photograph was j taken of the whole.During the exercises the boys . who were to leave for training camps Wednesday were invited to the platform. Only two were in the audience, Glen Redenbaugh and | Frank Harland, and they came up and weie introduced by I. W. Abbott.Da^ P .AAA riAAAAAA
