Denmark's Ancient Flag.
From Good Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping.
The flag Of Denmark. a plain red BAN
ner bearing on it a white cross, is the old
est flag now in existence. For 800 years
both Norway and Sweden were united
with Denmark under this flag. In the
year 1919 King waldemar of Denmark,
when leading his troops to battle against
the LivOnians, saw or thought he saw
a bright light in the form Of a cross In
the sky. He held this appearance to be
a promise of divine aid and pressed for
ward to victory. From this time he had
the cross placed on the flag OF his coun-
try and called it the Dannebrog. that Is.
the strength of Denmark. Aside from
legend there is no doubt that this flag
with the cross was adopted by Denmark
in the thirteenth century and that at
about the same date AN order known as
the Order of Dannebrog was instituted,
to which only soldiers and sailors who
were distinguished for courage were al
lowed to belong.

PROVIDENCE. r. L., November Il
The life and influence of the late Secre-
tary of State John Hay in the fields OF
diplomacy were eulogized in an address
OF United States Senator Elihu Root OF
New York at the dedication of the John
Hay Library at Brown University yester-
day Senator Root said:
High credit is due to country that
can appreciate such man as John Hay;
that has justly estimated his merit. has
valued his service and honors hts MEM

that between the character Of Mr.: Hay
and the confident. thick-skinned, self
assertive, pushing. hustling character Or
diuarily associated with success In the
practical affairs Of this hurly-burly world.
Democratic, But Unassuming.
The note in his daily life which most
challenged the attention of an observer
was that OF extreme refinement, sensi-
tiveness and reserve. He was unassum-
ing, retiring, seif-effacins. He was thor
,oughly democratic in his sympathies and
convictions. He took men at their char
acter value. without regard to place or
power or wealth. He was Indifferent to
popularity, while he was keenly alive TO
he approval of all those whose Judgment
ne respected and whose friendship he
valued. His life was his own, and he
shared 1t only with those he loved. He
never put II In evidence at the bar OF
public opinion or entered II In COMPETE
lion for the prizes OF public life. The
proud modesty Of his self-respect made 1t
impossible for him to testify In his own
behalf or to allege his own merits. He
left others to Judge what he was and
what he accomplished. without even aid
from him. while his generous and loyal
nature was never weary of giving credit
and praise and honor to his associates
and contemporaries to the extreme limit
of their deserts.
HE was sensitive to beauty In all its
forms-beauty in MAJ ure, in art, in form
of literary expression, in thought, in hui

his practice. A fine and correct taste
determined the attractions and repulsions

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Nov. 14- (SpeciaD Among the most recen suggestions for the elimination of the boil weevil is the planting cf peanuts. This is but one of the hun dred or more suggestions that have been made during the last three years, bt it is becoming uincreasing- ly apparent that no campaign against the boll weeyil which calls or the planting of any other crop besides cotton will be generally adopted throughout the south. This Is not due to the Ignorance of the southern planters. The cause for this antip- the boil weeyil can be seen tn the daily reports of any newspaper. With cotton prices as they now are and with the trend steadily upward as | has been during recent years it is quite easy to see why the southern cotton farmers refuse to plant any other crop. The Standard oil company and the steel trust and all the other a eged nonpolistic corporations could never boast such complete control of any necessity of life as the southern cotton farmers have.
 When crop conditions are ideal the southern cotton farmers can make a bale to the acre and such a crop will pay large net profit compared with any other crop tn the world, but when crop conditions or the boil weevil reduce the product of the farm to half or even less than half of a bale to the acre, cotton prices immediately soar and what is lost in cotton ts made up in higher prices India, Africa and Asia strive in vain to supply sufficient cotton 10 effec, materially the monopoly Lcw firmly he'd by tho scuthcrn s.ates.

WASHINGTON, D C, Nov. H. Memories of former administrations will be revived this season by the presence of four presidents children in Washington society.

Lincoln was in President Ar thurs cabinet.
 Another presidents child to spend the season here is Mrs. Mckee. who was well known in society In the Harrison administration. With her will be President Harrison's grand daughter. Miss Martha Harrison, a debutante of last season.

now drawing to a close. Early spring frosts reduced the crop in many southern states by as much as fifty per cent In southwest Texas. how even there is no frost. A large mum Der of the farms particularly in the vicinity of San Antonio, made half a bale to a bale an acre. With cotton prices lowering about fifteen cents & pound and cotton seed prices higher than ever before, owing to the de- mand for the various cattle feeds produced from this seed these farm CTS have made fortunes this year. h fact So profitable has the cotton crop been that great many of the home, seekers who are purchasing lands in
 southwest Texas are becoming cot ton planters instead of growing citrus fruits or trying the numerous other crops which during recent years have become popular in this semEtropicaI territory. This year hundreds of farmers planting their first crop of
 cotton have made net profits sufti- cienuy large to pay for their land ana all the agricultural implements
