Today in many cities throughout
the land the Sons of the Revolution
are celebrating what is termed Flag
Day. The school children are taught
to appreciate what the flag means for
this country. The American flag
stands not only for the martial power

also for the honor of the republic and
of the American people. For genera
tions it has been recognized as an en-
blem of peace rather than war. and as
such above all else it should be re-
vered. People who try to convey to
the minds of the children some idea
of what the American flag stands for
should not neglect this, the most i'm

Palisade the fruit growers are now
going through their fruit orchards re-
moving the inferior peaches, about
one fifth of the load on the trees, al
ready as large as good sized walnut,
and in a month or so they will go
through again and remove the smaller
inferior fruit, that the branches may
be able to bear up under the tremen-
dous load left. Crop failures in Colo
RADIO are unknown, SO don't borrow
trouble. There will be more apples,
peaches, pears, prunes, apricots. etc,
than ever before Telluride Journal.
