OLD IRONSIDES
A Y, tear her tattered ensign
A down!
Lons has it wared on high,
And many an eye has danced to
see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rang the battle shout,
And burst the cannon’s roai—
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck once rad with heroes’
blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o’er the
flood,
And wares were white below,
No more shall foal the victbrV
tread,
Or know the conquered
The harpies of the shore
pluck
The eagle of the aeat
Oh better that her tattered bulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty
deep.
And there should be her grave;
Nail to her mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms.
The lightning and the gale!
—Oliver Wendell Holmes.
most a navy in herself. Ever in-
vincible, she has served under every
President from Washington to
Cooiidge, and boasts of a record
that has never been equalled by any
single fighting ship.
Now in the shadow of the Bunker
Hill Monument, near the yard that
gave her birth, “Old Ironsides”
rests in the dry dock she christened.
She awaits rebuilding to make her
sound, remodelled from truck to
keel, exactly as she was in her days
of great glory, the history-mak
ing days of 1812. No federal ap-
propriation assures her preserva-
tion, nor is one desired. Only the
generous response of a grateful na-'
tion can save her. The National Save
“Old Ironsides” Committee, of
which Rear Admiral Philip An-
drews, U. S. Navy, is chairman, Is
raising sufficient funds for the work
through popular subscription. Over
$630,000 have*al ready been rec
less than $7^0,000 are still required.

The Save “Old Ironsides” Fund
is being completed principally
through the sale of beautifully ten-

painting by the famous marine ar-
tist, Gordon Grant, depicting the
famous ship as she looked at the
height of her brilliant career. These [
are reasonably priced at 50 cents week-bnd

P. R. Billingsley
Peyton Roy Billingsley was born
at Papalote, March 4, 1879. Died
at Goliad, March 4, 1929. His par-
ents were J. L. and Jane Steen Bill-
ingsley, pioneer settlers of this sec-
tion. At an early * age he moved
with his parents, brothers and sis-
ters to Mineral where he grew to
manhood and on Dec. 6, 1908 was
united in marriage to Miss Lillian
Harvey of Mineral. To this union
six children' were born, five boys
and one girl, all of whom survive
their father, except Boyd, aged 13,
who was drowned last April while
in swimming. Mr. Billingsley lov-
ed his home and family and his
whole interest in life centered with
them. - Besides his wife and child-
ren he leaves four brothers and
three sisters to mourn his passing,
as follows: Walter, San Antonio;
Jesse, Turlock, Calif.; Will and
Aubrey, Mineral* Mrs. H. M. Eads,
Sinton; Mrs. Nellie Griener, Fort
Worth, and Mrs. Georgia Pattison,
Port Arthur.
Services were held by Rev. Cun-
ningham, Presbyterian minister of

were laid to rest by the side of
his little son whom he so dearly
loved.-rBeeville Bee-Picayune.
tntion belongs to every American.
Rebuilt and equipped as she looked
in the history-making days of 1812,
,a picturesque survivor of the bygone
days of sail, she will again cruise
the seas, with proper escort, visit-
ing the ports of our country and
carrying her patriotic message to
the people of our country, a lasting
inspiration to future generations of
Americans. * , , ’
The people of America owe a debt
of gratitude to this champion of
our liberties and rights as a nation.
This debt can only be repaid by
restoration of the Constitution thru
popular subscription.
Every American is urged to buy a
picture of *X>ld Ironsides” and help
make possible the repayment of the
debt we owe her. The pictures may
be obtained for 50 cents each by
writing to “Old Ironsides” Navy
yard, 431, Boston, Massachusetts.

Nickel-plated articles and other
metal are now polished by hot air.
The objects to be treated are.placed]
in a basket in centrifugal ma-

heated air is blown from a pipe)
through the basket. The articles
that have become tarnished are
made bright in a few minutes. Wet
metal fresh from the bath needs no
preliminary drying, for the current
of air dries and polishes it at the]
same time.

Pulpit Stone Replaced
After laying Hidden for 1,300
years in a secluded part of Pulpit
hill at Aban, Scotland, the pulpit
stone has been set up again on the
hilltop. Local tradition hr'.3 it- that
the bowlder, weighing about 1,000
pounds, once sat in the top of the
hill and was used as a pulpit by
St Coiumba’s followers. Pagan wor-
shipers toppled the stone over and
4iid it in the undergrowth, where
it remained until Jo mid recently.
