About Men
You Know

There was a vacant chair at Jake
the BARRIERS restaurant yesterday, and
poor Jake was almost distracted be-
cause he had been told by prominent
officials to have a swell dinner, as Colo
mel Roosevelt would dine there. This
was enough for Jake, so he had the
best dinner ready, only to receive this
telegram, with a New York date line:
Jake the Barber, Tuscan Club, New
ark. N. j.:
Sorry | cannot have dinner with you
today.
COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
With the telegram in his hand. Jake
went about the place like a mailman.
He showed everyone the note and de-
clared emphatifally that he had been
put to a lot of trouble and was very
angry. Nevertheless. the men who had
been instrumental in putting Jake to
the trouble had a good dinner. Will
while Jake was raying, looked very
suspicious, but he, too, sat down with
many commissioners, and had an en-
joyable time.
Councilman Clarence T. Van Deren,
OF Harrison, and other officials wene
standing on the Town Hall steps when
former President Roosevelt stopped
there on his way to Newark. Someone
presented two babies to the %trenuous

colonel smiled his famous smile and
was talking volubly.

asked Mr.. Van Deren.
"Dee-lighted,' the latter answered
quickly.
Two people as entirely dissimilar in
appearance as Frank e. Brex and
William Gull, plainclothesmen of the

and, strange to say, neither looks like
the typical police officer. Brex. short

Why wa. Frsx Not H.If-m..ted ,

Why NRs Flag Not HaIf-masted
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t was with great surprise that I no.
ticed yesterday morning flags on four
OF our largest buildings at full mast.
I wondered if it We're possible that the
men who had charge Of the raising Of
the flags had forgotten that it was
Memorial Day. 1t seemed rather pc
cuiiar. for ali the flags on the sur
rounding buildings we're at half-mast
The buildings which had failed to
observe Decoration Day flag etiquette
We're the Firemen's building, the
Seheuer building, the Essex building
and the postoffce.
Now it was indeed a great surprise
to see the nag on the p~ostofr1ce flying
full. There is absolutely no excuse why
this should have been, and I feel
ashamed h a the old soldiers were
compelled to see the nag on our Fed
eral building al the extreme top OF the
pole.
Let this note be a lesson to the men
who have charge of the fags and here
after see that their flags are correctly
raised. PATRIOT.

Grans-stssd Seating Badly Mixed.
To tho Editor OF the Evening Star:
While the police arrangements at the
unwilling of the magnificent statue to
Lincoln yesterday we're excellent. con-
sidering the trying circumstances of
the event, the rnen in charge of the
seating arrangements failed m~iserably
on their job. I had a grand-stand
ticket and had q grand stand all right
during the whole Of the program-a
stand on my feet.
N first alleged usher I approached
after getting anywhere near the statue
BY falling in line with a marching vet
cram who is a personal friend informed
me that everything was mixed up"
and he didn't know where my sea,
was. When I located the section on
own account the alleged usher
there said I could sit where l wanted.
I sat for two minutes when another
alleged usher rushed up, backed by a
N uniform and excitedly declared
that the section was reserved for the
city officials. SO I got out and reached
the opposite section, which | readily
boarded. although my ticket didn't call
for II; but it was a case. of stand up
all through the exercises. B.. W. r.

GoIimar Brothers Circus Tia
Great Ensemble of Clowns

Buster Brown, Little Memo,
Happy H1oligan and Foxy Grandpa,
would certainly make a quintette,
at least, so the Gollmar Brothers
think, and they back their opinion
by paying notorious mischiefmakers
a large sum to travel with the Coll
mar Brothers Circus.
Those ~grotesque characters have
been i~mpersonated on the stage,
with satisfactory results. A great
deal better opportunity will be CIV
en- them to display their eccentric
disposition on the ten acre exhibition
grounds of the Gollmar Brothers
Circus. Happy Hooligan and Foxv
Grandpa will be very conspicuous
about the Gollmar tents this year.
and, with Little Memo and Buster
Brown and thirty-five other testers
to assist them, a very funny time
is expected. Another laughable
clown stunt will be an ostrich hunt
with a comical clown as Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt.
The South African ostrich hunt
will for convene nee, take place on
the great hippodrome track of the
Gollmar Brothers Show, and it will
prove to be the most comical bur-
lesque eve seen under canvass.
Then Little Buster Brown and his
pup have a lot of funny stunts,
along with the jolly crowd of other
funny clowns.
Gollmar Brothers Circus will GER
tainly furnish plenty of genuine and
innocent fun for the patrons of that
circus when 1T exhibits in Huron,

On Easter Sabbath she was at the
service of the Presbyterian church,
and was greatly comforted with the
message of the resurrection of her
Lord, and his true followers. Now
she has fully entered into the joys
and realities and rewards of that
resurrection and is face to face with
her Redeemer whom she loved with
so great a devotion.
Death is not death to her, but
only a stepping up into "the other
room" Of the eternal mansion of
life everlasting which her Savior had
gone to prepare for her.
The funeral was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. A. P. Cooper, of the
Presbyterian church, assisted by the
choir. on Thursday at 1000 a. m.

RULES FOR
FLY NUISANCE
Published by Merchants Associa-
ton of N. Y.

If you see a fly walking over the
food and dishes, or allghting on your
baby's face, remember that he is a
messenger of disease and death, says
the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion.
The rules for dealing with the fly
nuisance, published by the Mer-
chants Association of New York,
and widely circulated by them, are
worth reprinting. We repeat our
suggestion that an excellent work
for any live woman's club would be
to reproduce these rules on cards
and distribute them broadcast.
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body is
covered with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises. All refuse which
tends in any way to fermentation,
such as bedding straw, paper waste
and vegetable matter should be dis
posed of or covered with lime or
kerosene.
Screen all food. Keep all re,ep-
tacles for garbage carefully covered
and the cans cleaned or sprinkled
with oil or lime,
Keep all stable manure in vault
or pit, screened or sprinkled with
lime. oil or other cheap preparation.
See that your sewage system is in
good order; that it does not leak, is
up-to-date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Cover food after a meal; burn or
bury all table refuse. Screen al
food for sale.
Screen all windows and doors es-
pecially the kitchen AMI dining
room.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house to kill flies.
Don't forget, if you see flies. that
their breeding-place is in near.b by
filth. 1t may be behind the door,
under the table, or IN the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth, there
Will be no flies.
If there is a nuisance in the neigh
borhood, it would be advisable to
write at once to the health denart-
ment,

OF INTEREST
TO
Some Valuable Hints and In
formation Taken From
Farm Papers
C%ultivating Corn

The depth to which corr may be
cultivated. especially in dry areas.
is a matter on which there is not
perfect agreement. Soil conditions
materially influence this question.
Usually shallow low cultivation only
is recommended and as a rule such
cultivation is correct, but there are
some exceptions. One difficulty is
to know exactly when the exceptions
occur.
One exception is found in soils
that are much prone to settle too
adhesivelv, as for instance stiff
clays. In these 1t may be necessary
or at least advantageous to cultivate
somewhat deeply the first cultiva-
ton that is given. This. however,
will depend somewhat on the size
of the corr when the first cuItiva-
ton is gwen. If the corn has reach
ed say a foot high before such cult
walton is given, some caution must
be used about gong down deeply,
as the lateral ro1ts of the corn will
have pushed out far from the plants
and not far from the surface. If
the first cultivation given is deep,
then the civilizations that follow
should be less deep.
A second exception is found in
that condition of soil which not in
frequently occurs in the west when
a crust forms below the line of the
shallow cultivation. This crust may
be lower than some of the lateral
roots, This brings up the question
will the corn suffer most by break
ing the lateral roots when breaking
the crust or by leaving the crust
unbroken. The best authorities
favor the breaking up Of the crust,
and doubtless they are right. This
can only be done by sending the
cultivator down deep enough to &C
complisn the end sought.
Tsglre is also a difference Of opin-
ion as to when cultivation shall
cease. 1t would seem safe to say.
that it should usually contin.e long
er than is the case in the average
experience of the farmer. But af.
ter the crop gets high, the work of
cultivation becomes more costly as
it has to be done with a one-horse
c%ultivator. When thus managed it
NAV be continued until the forming
of the ears.
The objects sought in such late
cultivation are two-fold. The first
object is to maintain the covering
or loose earth SO as to prevent eva
poration, and the second is to de-
stroy weeds that would otherwise
mature. Wild oats, for instance,
may germlnate after the usual time
for maturing seed ceases, and the
same is true of mustard. A corn
crop will not result in all the benefit
that may result from growing it,
unless it is kept Perfectly Clean
