us that our request 90 make Nestorla
a meeting point for trains :. and 10
would be given due consideration when
they were working out their schedules
for improved service.
I'VE were very much impressed and
gratined By the friendly attitude OF
Mr.. walker and the other officials We
could not fail but note the courteous
manner in which they received the sug-
gestions that we made. and I predict
that before many years the South
Shore will be as progressive as popu-
lar and as up-to-date as any road i'm
the Northwest. Mr.. Walker Is out after
ideas and is getting those ideas from
the people who can best give thom in
the different departments of opera
tion. And his interest is not selfish,
either. as he seems TO have in mind the
interests Of all the patrons of the road.
Mr.. Walker is a born booster. / don't
know what effect his interviews ON
other people have but he certainly left
the committee Of the Marquette coun-
ell of the Commercial Travellers in a
frame of mind TO boost for their home
road"

humber homes are not constructed

unusual. That they should become
the "loaflng" places is not surprising.
When YOU just think it over, most
'loafors" are simply victims of the So

all surprising that the bartender should

AGES OF THE FLAGS.

Curlously enough, the United States,
while one of the youngest Of nations,
displays the Oldest flag, comparatively
speaking.
The American flag. in it's present
form. was adopted in the year 1717'
and the only changes made i'm 1t since
that time have been the addition OF
new stars for the new states as they
came into the Union. our British
cousins often refer in affectionate
terms TO their ensign as the flag that
has "braved, a thousand years. the bat
tie and the breeze" But they forget
that the Union Jack in its present form
dates only from 1901.
The French tricolor was adopted in
1894; the Spanish flag, as now dis
played. in 1855. while the German and
Italian flags are no older than the em-
pire and the kingdoni. respectively

Frank Coffyn, the aviator, had with
him as a passenger in his webfooted
aeroplane last Thursday Jimmy Duff

daring stunts with his camera. He is
