HEAD OF SUGAR TRUST

Washington b. Thomas, who has been desig.
mated as head Of the sugar trust, to succeed the
late II. o. Hayemeyer, is one of the most remark
able figures in Bostons social and business life
Mr. Thomas who thus becomes chief executive
of $90,000,000 corporate n. will draw salary
at least twice big that of the president OF
the United States, in addition to his dividends
as stakeholder, which in themselves represent
a handsome fortune annually. Yet Mr.. Thomas
is less proud of his money and supremacy in the
business world than Of his two beautiful daugh-

FARMERS CLUBS
The Extension Division Wishes to Aid
One Thousand Farmers Neigh
bOrhoOd Clubs.

The University Extension Division
Of the University of Wisconsin has
been doing a remarkably successful
work with the farmers of the state
during the past year in helping them
to organize into clubs and giving sug-
gestions as to the topics to be discuss
ed, and either loaning, or directing the
clubs to places where they may Sc
cure material for the study and dis
cussion of matters of practical i'm
port to themselves and their families
In aid of this work it has issued a
bulletin entitled Farmers Clubs"
which discusses their organization,
their programs and their studies. This
bulletin gives the text Of the consti-
tuition Of a club which has been or
ganized and done successful work for
more than a generation. 1t also gives
q suggested order Of exercise which
may be varied. 1t suggests too, a
number OF topics and bulletins or
books which may be obtained without
cost, for their careful study. Among
these are such practical subjects as:
Alfalfa in Wisconsin.
What the Farmer Loses by Bad
Roads. T..
Concrete on the Farm.
Kinds Of Cooperative Stores In the
United States: Their Success and Fail
ure. -
Wisconsin Travelling Libraries.
The Principles and Maintenance Of
Soil Fertility.
The Value of standard Bred Corn
Seed. -
Cooperative Fruit Marketing.
Strawberry Culture.
It Is evident that il the farmers of
the state of Wisconsin can be gather
ed In clubs and inspired to an active
interest in modern methods Of agri
culture the results will be of ire
mendous value to the state as a whole,
as well as to individuals and their
families. The mutual acquaintance
and interest in helpful subjects will
stimulate a better social intercourse,
and better feeling in the neighbor-
hood. 1t will lift the whole plane of
daily thought and talk and in the most
natural way minimize the petty
troubles which 50 often detract from
the neighborhood life in rural dis
tricts-
In our great federal and state de-
partments which deal with improved
methods in agriculture, there is great
complaint that the results of their
work are not understood, accepted,
and put into practice by farmers as
rapidly as they ought 1t often takes
nearly a generation before the great
body of farmers put into practice
methods which have been practically
proved to be profitable In our great
AGRICULTURAL experiment stations. The
difficulty has been that the bulletins
and circulars which have been sent
ont from these centers have gone to
individual farmers who were not in
terested at the time Of receiving the
bulletins in the subjects which were
treated.

OUR FLAG.
Its Origin ard History Related by Rev.
Thomas 3. GREGORY.

Its Origin ard History Related by Rev.
Thomas B. Gregory.
The stars and stripes became the flag
Of the United States on June IA, 1777
On that day it was resolved by congress
that the flag Of the thirteen Unit
ed States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white, and that the Union be
thirteen stars, white, in a blue field,
representing a new constellation"
The congressional enactment creating
Old Glory said nothing concerning the
particular form in which the stars
should be grouped, and as the circle Is
the simplest of all figures the circular
form naturally became the one In
which the stars were arranged.
The national flag continued with thir-
teen stripes and thirteen stars until
Jan. 10, 1875, when congress voted that
"after May L, 1895, the flag Of the
United States be fifteen stripes, alter.
nate red and white, and that the Union
be fifteen stars, white, in a blue field"
Twenty-three years later, April f.
1918, congress adopted the following
resolution:
Weekly Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1908-1909, 1908-12-18

BE It enacted that from and after the
Fourth Of July next the flag OF the Unit
ed States be thirteen horizontal stripes
alternate red and white. and that the
Union be twenty stars. white, in q blue
field.
And that on the admission of q new
state into the Union one star be added to
the nag and that such addition shall
take place on the Fourth OF July next
succeeding each admission.
Certain members Of congress in their
patriotic ardor wanted a new stripe
for each new state, but Mr.. Windover,
one of the members from New York.
arose in his place and said:
"Mr. Speaker, am heart and soul in
favor of any proposition that viii give
US big flag. We are going to be a
big people, and we need a correspond
ingly big flag. But it must not be SO
big as 10 be a burden to us. At the
rate the United States Is now growing
II a stripe were added for every new
state admitted it would soon be impos-
sible to find mast or pole tall enough
on which to hoist the flag"
Mr.. Windover's speech settled the
matter, and the limit was drawn at
the thirteenth stripe.
The first time the stars and stripes
was displayed in battle was at Fort
Stanwl1, now the city Of Rome, Oneida
county. Colonel Peter Gansevoort WAS
in command Of the fort, and, being
surrounded by st. Leger and called
upon to surrender, the gallant old colo
mel replied as follows:
1T is my determined resolution, with
the forces under my command, to de-
fend this fort to the last extremity In
behalf Of the United States, who placed
me here to fight for 1t against all their
enemies"
The first salute given by foreign
power to the stars and stripes was In
Quiberon bay, on the coast Of Brittany.
Paul Jones in the Ranger was cruis-
ing in those parts and, coming up with
a French admiral, saluted his Dag.
The Frenchman returned the salute
gun for gun.
Before that event it had been the
usage OF Europe to salute the flag of a
republic with four guns less than were
fred In saluting the flag OF a crowned
potentate, but Jones claimed that Old
Glory was the peer Of any flag afoat
and that in saluting it must get as
many guns as it gives.
