Representatives of the allied powers were present Fine Paris Tribute for Gen. Pershing Friends Honor Chief of U. S, Forces in War While Still Living. Washington. A memorial to General Pershing is being built in Paris, and thus at least one of the great commanders of the allied forces in the World war is to be honored in appropriate fashion while he is yet living, says the Chicago Daily News. Pershing ball, the central feature of the A. E. F. memorial in the French capital, is on its way to being an accomplished fact, although a majority of people in the United States have not yet learned that it was even planned. The reason that it is not a and widely heralded project is this very fact of General' Pershing being a live and active person. For this reason the raising of the money to build Pershing hall has been kept more or less a secret. How a half million or more dollars can be raised secretly is one of the interesting things about the creation of Pershing hall. Heres the Story. Here is the tale of what is being done to build a Pershing memorial while Pershing' is alive, and not embarrass Pershing in the course of the enterprise. Some time ago five prominent and wealthy men of Wash ington, D. C., gave a luncheon at the leading hotel of the Capital city. The guests were some fifty men and a few women. Excepting only half a dozen, these guests were ail millionaires, the very top crust of wealth, power and prominence of the nations capital. The five hosts were: John Hays Hammond, retired capitalist; Dwight Davof war; Ogden Mills, is, assistant secretary of the treasury; Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war for aviation, and Robert Fleming, president of Washington's largest bank. The guest of honor was General Summerall, chief of staff of the United States army. No mention of this gathering appeared in the newspapers. Mr. Davis presided. General Summeratl spoke In a comfortable, Intimate way, because he was not speaking publicly, but chatting with a chosen group. He told a good deal about General Pershing as the outstanding American of this generation, and a good deal about Pershing as a mhn and a friend. It was a delightful talk. Mr. Philip Stapp, who is the active worker in the Pershing hall plan, then explained what the memorial plan is, and suggested that friends of General Pershing in Washington would wish to have a part In it If so, checks can be sent to Mr. Davison. There was no appeal for funds, no the quiet public meeting, just luncheon. But since that event Mr. Davison has been receiving checks. Their total has not been reported yet A similar luncheon at the Bankers club in New York resulted in more than $50,000 in checks. A quiet mailing of letters from Mr. Stapps office in New York has brought in many more thousands. And General Pershing is not being embarrassed by having a public money raising campaign going on to erect a memorial to him. United States Center In Paris. The memorial which is being thus quietly but effectively financed is the outcome of the pilgrimage to France made In 1927 by the American Le well-know- - n SPRINGVILLE Nearly 8000 trout have been planted in Hobble creek luring this week, through the tive effort of the Fish and Game association of Springville, according to Henry Weight, president.

Pershings place in history remains to be fixed, but his stature as a great leader grows steadily as more and more of the true history of his task Is known. He commanded a greater army than any other American, a force far exceeding Grants. He commanded it In a foreign land, across the ocean, farther from bis base of supplies than any great army ever fought. And he organized, trained and led it to a glorious' victory over a .stout and daring foe. General Summerall calls him the outstanding American of our generation, and declares that be carried one of the heaviest responsibilities ever placed on the shoulders of one human being, and carried it very well, Indeed. Whatever the ultimate valuation of General Pershing, he is destined to see, in his lifetime, at least one great permanent memorial erected in his name and dedicated to his accom pilshments. He doubtless will receive this tribute as quietly, almost silently, as he moves about his own present duties, which are those of chairman of the commission in charge of Amer-cacemeteries and battlefield markers and monuments.

CALDWELL LEARNED IN 47 YEARS PRACTICE A physician watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for consti- known as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Fition, is a mild vegetable compound.' It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tastinand youngsters love it. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physios and purges. He did not believe they were good for anybodys system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to the nearest druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, or write Syrup Pepsin, Dept.
