REAL ESTATE MEN UNABLE TO
MEET DEMANDS NOW BEING
MADE UPON THEM.

House shortage in Valley, City has
become such serious condition that
it has reached proportions of a fam
inc. Besides the erection of a large
fiat building, and a number of resi-
dences and cottages this summer,
there are more demands than ever
made upon real estate dealers, and it
is difficult for them to find empty
dwellings.
In addition to the large number OF
men coming to Valley City to find en-
ployment in the harvest fields, many
are arriving with their families, their
intention being to make this city their
home. During the last few weeks,
real estate men have noted the steady
increase in bona fide population, but
the influx Of. the last few days has
placed them face to face with house

Better to Teach Child as Baby Rath'
er Than When His Habits Have
Been Formed.

There is nothing more beautiful
than a baby just learning to talk and
beginning to run about. He has so
many charming ways, and each new
accomplishment is SO absorbingly IN
teresting. At the very worst his mis-
demeanors do not irritate US. and u.s.
ually they are amusing. 1t is far pleas
anter and easier to divert the child'S
attention than to take him seriously;
and so, since there is no good stop
ping-place, he is coaxed and indulged
until he is no longer a baby. But the
habits that were amusing in the two
year-old cease to be funny at four and
Ave. and at seven and eight they be-
gin to be uncomfortable; and it is a
sad fact that punishment usually be-
gins at an age when there should be
no further occasion for it, and when,
to confess the truth. it often does
more harm than good. AS the baby
faults grow more and more irritating
the child himself grows less and less
appealing. We can punish now, and
we do. We are sure that child Of
his age "ought TO know better"
though just why it might be hard 10
tell. It is certainly no fault of his
that seven-year-old naughtiness is less
attractive than the baby variety, and
habit is a powerful antagonist.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

IT can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If / would have them in water for
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, one set being all used"

AS early as 1854 the colony of

Two years later, under the rigid
rule of the Colonel governor. Sir Ed

and the flag Of King James l., with the
British crosses, was re-established In
New England. The green flag was. ac-

Revolutionary fame. has the crosses
of Saints George and Andrew on a
blue field. The remainder of the flag
is red, and upon 1t a coiled rattle
snake in attitude to strike, and under
it the significant words, Don't tread
on me-" The date Of this flag is i'm
portant, as 1t would illustrate the first
direct attempt to claim certain rights
for the colonies. The dual crosses in
the union betoken allegiance to Eng
land, yet the symbolic snake and the
expressive motto plainly indicates a
threat against too much interference
by the mother country.
Another and later use Of the serpent
device and motto, Don't tread on
me" was that of the South Carolina
troops of the Confederate army, who
employed 1t on their flag during the
Civil war.
At the battle of Bunker Hill, the
first real clash Of arms and initial
display Of independent colors, there
were two decidedly colonial flags
one "a red cross on white union, with
pine-tree in dexter quarter, field Of
! flag red;" the other the English
union bearing the crosses of Saints
George and Andrew with field red,
containing the war cry, Liberty and
Union"
On January 2. ITS, General Wash
ington displayed over the troops at
Cambridge the earliest effort to form
a flag which would express that the
colonies had united in defense Of their
homes. but still manifesting a love for
English historical tradition. This
flag was Of thirteen stripes, seven red
and six white. The union consisted
of the Latin cross Of st. George. and
the satire, or X cross of St. Andrew,
on blue field. This remained the
Continental flag for just seventeen
and one-half months. Then on June
IA, 1777, the Continental congress
adopted device for flag which has
been universally pronounced happy
combination of ideas, namely the
Stars and Stripes, which waves tri-
umphantly as the emblem Of Ameri-
can patriotism over free country.
