THE AMERICAN FLAG AGAIN
FLIES IN BUTTE.

Butte Socialists are being given a
lesson in Americanism.
Yesterday for the first time since
July 4, the stars and stripes flew from
the city hail.
The city hall is no longer in charge
of the Socialists. The state militia has
taken it over and is directing the af-
fairs OF the city.
No doubt the patriotic citizens OF
Butte welcome the change for it means
the restoration of law and order in
their community.
The Socialist administration has
shown its incapacity to cope with the
situation arising from the labor war
Its officers apparently have had neither
the inclination nor the courage To use
stern measures 10 suppress the dis
turbers OF the peace.
Butte is passing through an eXper-
fence which will not be without its
lesson. 1t is high time for a change in
the political tide and the dismal fail
ure Of the Socialists is likely To bring
il about.

AN AMERICAN CENTENNIAL,

timore next week of the writing of
The Star Spangled Banner" by Fran
the literary but all lovers or their
country.
At this distance OF time the words
continue To be recognized as the most
inspiring which have been given to
any American patriotic song. The mu
sic, though borrowed, and difficult to
sing, is stirring when played by a band
yet there is no doubt that it is the
song which has given the music its
popularity.
a war song IL is, but II glorifies de-
fensive war, not war of aggression, and
one of the features of the Baltimore
program is a Peace Day. The song
praises war az an establisher of peace:
O thus be it ever when freemen shall
stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heaven rescued land
Praise the power that has made and
preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause
il is just.
And this be our motto: In God is our
trust"
And the Star Spangled Banner in
triumph shall wave
Ger the land OF the free and the
home of the brave.
Not everybody who loves America
and is in hearty sympathy with the
sentiments expressed in THE Star
Spangled Banner can participate in
the celebration which is to take place
in Baltimore next week. but the whole
American nation will be a unit i'm wish

MENACE OF THE MATCH.

CBy Secretary of the National Fire
Protection Association.)
The eighty million people in Ameri-
ca use as many matches as the eight
hundred million in the rest of the
worlu, according to the statistics OF the
National Fire Protective Association.
This is a startling commentary upon
the American nation, and supports the
contention that we are the most waste
ful and extravaganza people in the
world.
If one is I'm need of a match any
where in continental Europe, he must
seek it in its proper place. Matches
arc not wasted in the old world. Cen
turtles OF training in thrift and econ
omy make the continentals conscious
OF the fact that matches cost money.
VI here does one find them in America?
They are in almost every room, in al
most every building, public and pri-
vote. The American breathes impre-
cations if he cannot at any moment
Of the day or night reach out his hand
and find a match. They repose i'm the
pC ckets or Innings of every old coat and
waistcoat; they are scattered about
Desk and bureau drawers; they are
found in every accumulation of rub
bish, wherever it may be; they are
so carelessly and recklessly thrown
about that rats and mice hove adopt
ed them as a standard article for nest
building, certain always OF an avail
able supply.
Unfortunately. the burden of this ex-
travagance is not confined to the cost
of the matches themselves. This lit
lie article, unknown until 1882. while
perhaps the most important factor in
our civilization, has been doing it's best
ever since its creation to destroy the
world ii was designed to serve. The
assistance given il as an instrument OF
destruction by the carelessness OF the
American people is matter of amaze
ment to continental countries. The
average per capita property loss by fire
in central, western, and southern Eu-
rope is 33 cents; in the United States
the average is 1902. The reason for
this astonishing difference is obvious
the moment conditions are scrutinized
While this is being written, contin-
ual stream Of imperfectly extinguished
matches is falling into waste baskets
rubbish heaps, upon the rugs of clubs,
hotels, dwellings and offices, thrown
by careless smokers. Men reputed to
be good fathers have been known to
light cigars i'm the hallway of their
homes, throw the match in the general

THE BATTLE OF BLENHEiM.

In playing there had found;

who stood expectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with a natural sigh

Good Crop in Codington County

Watertown.-Threshing which a
well underway, has been stopped by
rain. Codington county will have a
good average crop; the yield is not up
to early expectations when the condi-
ions and prospects were the very best,
but an investigation reveals the fol-
lowing yields: Barley, Is to 20 bush
els per acre. Wheat, s to 20 bushels
Nos. 2 and 3. Oats, 4 to Is bushels per
acre. The flax is not being threshed
as yet, the acreage is small, but the
crop is good. The observations of an
other party are as follows: Macaroni
wheat, 6 to Is bushels per acre. Some
No. l, but most of it will run 2 and 8.
Oats average 80 bushels per acre. In
1913 oats ran from. 80 to SO pounds
per bushel. Wheat is running from 5
to %, averaging about 10 bushels per
acre. Barley will average 25 bushels
per acre.

Sir Ray Lancaster divides them into

rubbing his nose against that of the
other. The second kind, which Is
that familiar to US, consists in press
ing the lips against the lips, skin or

a short, quick inspiration, resulting
in a more or less audible sound. Both
kinds are really of the nature of sniff
