THE Evening POST which was the
typical traitor in the hour of trial. has
become desperately exercised over the
.~desecration of the flag In an editorial,
yesterday. it said:
Not only has nag-haunting become SO
common as to lose its significance and
true purport. but it has been perverted
to an advertising dodge in a thousand
different ways. IT would be impossible
to recount the new devices daily coming
Forward to make the flag ridiculous TO the
lover of ones country It is printed on
cakes of, soap and cakes OF soap are
printed on it. Bicycle riders sit on 1t as
they course through the streets. Horses
carry 1t over their ears. Copies Of it
are impressed on hosiery and handker-
chiefs. on beer bottles and on the title
pages of yellow journals. Street vendors
sell it IN every conceivable form and
size.
AS usual, we cannot agree with the
POST we do not think 'hag-haunting"
can become too common. AS for the uses
which the Post SO bitterly condemns,
we can see no objection. to them. They
are the best Indication of the general
love for the National colors and all that
they represent. They show the surety
which every one feels that no mark or
sign will appeal more certainly to the
confidence of an American than the
emblem of Americanism

sEVEN-YEAR-OLD BUTTER.
Claimed to BE rs Fresh and Sweet - It
Was When Made.

A farmer north of Muncie, Ind. rather
claims the long distance honors over DIR.
Punckett and his apple picked 30 years
ago. Seven years ago while making some
butter the discussion arose as to how long
butter could be kept 1t was resolved to
make test. A pound Of good solid cream
cry butter was placed in an earthen bowl
and this was sealed, making 1t alright.
A wire was then procured and the hermet-
ically sealed butter let down in well. 1t
was swung just above the water line al
most 100 feet below the top OF the we'll
and left one year.
At the expiration Of that time 1t was
lifted out and sampled. 1t was as fresh
and sweet ms the day it had been lowered.
A year later another test was made, and
annually these tests have revealed the fact
that there is no change. The seventh test
has recently been made, and indications
are that it will be fresh long after the
present experimenters have passed away.
The temperature at the point where 1t
hangs year In and year out Is the same.
Considerable interest centers around the
experiment. Plain Dealer.
