My first stop out from London

town, so charmingly located on
the Thames and amid gentle
hills, is very old, being mentioned
in history as early as 912. AS

records of its price in early times At

about the middle of the seventeenth
century. tea fetched anything between
f6 and f10 il pound. and though Il fall
in price quickly took place the East
India company still had TO pay over
IA for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However. egen
thus it is doubtful if the tea merchants
got very fat. seeing that the Imperial

enough to glut the market for some
years. London Chronicle.

ED. YERINGToN TIMES:
DEAR SIR: AS the red flag (not the
Socialist fag) has been the cause of one
criminal ofense and few tears for the
little ones, also two mentions in the last
issue of your paper | would like to say
a few words on red flags and red in gen
eral
ed enough to run wild when they hear
of or see red flag, and are continually
calling it an anarchist flag and one party
had nerve enough to get up i'll church
and make misstatements regarding it
and then refused to meet me on the
platform and defend his assertions.
The red flag was the flag of our Revo-
lutionary forefathers i'll 1916 and was a
warning to the British that they would
no longer stand oppression, and 1t is
still the predominating color i'll our pres
ent hag-you all know what it means
1t is the color of one of the stations in
nearly every large lodge, and stands Tor
life. love and knowledge; the red flag of
warning stands notifying you of an i'm
pending danger, and fool is he who does
not heed that warning-not that the flag
bearer will harm you, but the danger
ahead will
The Socialist flag, being red, stands
for all these things and more; it stands
for the red blood that flows through the
veins of every nationality, for the Bible
teaches God is father of all mankind,
at home and across the sea, that we are
brothers of all the others, wherever they
chance to be. y
The anarchists have no flag but gen

individualism, while the socialists IN
every country assemble under the red
flag of life, liberty, knowledge and broth

Pvthias, Odd Fellows, Knights of CO.

the flag of their government, they will
assemble in any land under their own
flag.
