FLAG DAY FOR The SCHOOLS

FLAG IN EVERY SCHOOL.

Guthrie. May ,l.-Tho following
circular letter has been ISSUED by
state superintendent, of instruction
T.. ID. Cameron:
To County Supcriutcudcuts and
Teachers:
The session laws of 1905 make 60
obligatory upon every board of rdu-
cation of every school district with.
I'm Oklahoma to own aud display
within the school house a United
States flag, and imposes penalty
of not less than $40, nor more than
500 upon each member of said
board for noncompliance with the
provisions of this law. ! sincerely
believe that this law ought to BE-
enforced. but something more than
this is necessary. If our children
do not know the history of the flag
and do not know what this emblem
means to our people, there would be
no particular advantage I'm having
the flag in each school house, as
provided by the law mentioned
think that every child in the

the United States of America was
made by Betsy Ross and subse-
quently adopted by congress June
II, 1777.
In harmony, therefore. with a
worthy custom which is generally
prevalent among all OF the states of
the union, hereby recommend that

anniversary of the birth of the flag.

EVERYBODY WANTS
A NICE PET WOLF
Supt. Kasper at Lake Front
Park Is Besieged by
Applicants.
ONLY THREE ARE LEFT NOW
Fire-laddies at Two Stations Will be
Given the First Choice of
Wolf Babies,

Pet wolves seem to be all the rage
in Hammond. judging from the num-
ber of inquiries that superintendent
]. H. Kasper, superintendent Of the
pumping station. has received since he
announced that FIVE cubs are to be Civ
en- away. Mr.. Kasper was kept busy
until late in the evening answering tel
ephone calls from people who wanted
to avail themselves of his offer More
than forty applications were received
that night and more came in the fol-
lowing day. one man even came from
Chicago to put in his application.
None of the cubs have been given
away as yet. for the reason that they
are too young, and it will not be until
they have eyes that they will be given
away.
Two of the young animals will go di-
rectly to the fire laddies, one at the
central department and the other at
station No. 3. These two stations put
in bids long ago and consequently Mr..
Kasper will give them first choice.
The cubs are in charge of the moth
er wolf at the lake front park, where
they were born early this week.

Of the Hammond Business Mems club
with a view of turning into a CONNER

mittees is the program laid down for
next Thursday evening for the Ham

The meeting Will be an important
one, and every man who is interested
in the civic welfare and realizes what
a live business mems club or CONNER
cial club means to city like Ham
mond will make it his business to be
there.
Within the last year there has been
a spirit to increase the scope of the
Hammond Business Mems club, and
create an organization which is not
only representative of a small circle
of business men, but one which give
representation to the city at large.
Whether this will be brought about
gradually or abruptly remains to be
seen. but above all it is pointed out
that everybody must take an interest
in the movement.
Committees VIII Report.
The committee on the lowering of
the fire insurance rates will make its
report, which will be largely to the ef-
feet that Hammond may expect a
decrease if it complies with the present
state fire insurance law. The commit
tee has already pointed out the de-
fects in Hammond TO the board of pub
lie works and the city administration
and has been assured that improve
ments in conditions are being made as
fast as the treasury will allow.
A committee report will also be heard
from the members who attended the
national tariff convention at Indiap'

If the time will allow the amalgama-
ton of the Calumet region cities VII
