Flag, Relic Of. War, Attracts
Attention

From my newspaper work room /
looked out across Topeka avenue Sus-
pended from the porch of the w H.
Eastman home at 1414, was an Amer
can flag Children going to school
stopped to admire aud>salute it The
neighbors wondered what holiday they
had overlooked AS it swayed in the
breeze it recalled to, young and old
Towne's famous Flag song:
''Salute the flag! the dear old flag,
With co1ors red white and blue;
It stands for truth and liberty,
This flag is waving for you.
with cleaning stars of forty-fve,
Thou hast worldwide name,
go, may the God of heaven bless
Our flag of glorious fame"
FLAG HAS RECORD.
But this flag contained but thirty two
stars on the bright blue field. while the
broad stripes still hold the luster that
inspired the soldiers on many marches
and on the field of battle.
This grand old emblem is priced by
Mrs Eastman because her mother
made it and her father, Aaron M FIory,
carried it through the Civil war in a
regiment that went out from Logans-
port, Indiana. On the day that Fort
Sumter was fired upon. Mrs Flory
bought the wooden goods and COM
menced making this flag. It was not
finished when her husband carried 1t
away TO the war. It still is in q fair
state of preservation and may be IN
furled. It's size is 8 by & feet.
The Eastman flag has history that
has To do with It's recent unfurling
Its broad stripes and bright stars have
signaled the declaration of three wars
The firing upon Fort Sumter in 1851 was
! the inspiration for its making. Again,
when the famous Twentieth Kansas
enlisted to go to the Philippines with
Colonel Funston in command. it waved
a welcome to the boys out here at Camp
Leedy, and God bless you, when they
departed for San Francisco And, when
the guns of the Prairie fired on Vera
Cruz. this famous old flag was tender
| ~ unfurled in honor of the dignity Of
the nation it represents.
And so, it has become q habit with
Mrs. Eastman to display this treasured
old battle flag whenever the United
| States, on land or sea, resents an in
suit to the stars and stripes Addition
al interest eenters about this flag be-
cause General Fred Funston, now
; hurIying away to Mexico in command
of $500 soldiers, is a nephew of Mrs.
FIory, who made il fifty three years
ago ID o. McCray, ii Topeka Capital.

SUGAR IN GREAT BRITAIN
PLENTIFUL DESPITE WAR
Only Small Increase in Price as Re
suit of Experiment With State
Socialism.

LONDON, October 2, 4:40 a.m.-The
report of the royal commission appoint
ed at the outbreak of the war with
full power to deal with all questions on
the public sugar supply shows that a
great experiment has been made with
state socialism and with success, SO
that there has only been small in
crease in price and no shortage of
sugar.
The commission practically cornered
the available supply and so checked
speculation for a rise in the price. The
sugar SO cornered was sold to refine RS
at a fixed price, with the proviso that
they, in turn, should sell to retailers
at moderate prices. which were def
pitely determined.
The report gives all the necessary de-
tails of the record of fixing prices and
so forth. but says nothing concerning
the sources of supply or the quantity
obtained. 1t is understood, however,
that most of the sugar was obtained
from Java. Mauretius, Cuba and Dem =
of the trade in America the commits
sion was able to obtain all it want
ed at not more than double the ante
bellum prices. About 100000 tons were
purchased at an average of 800 a ton,
involving an outlay of $90,000,00O. 1t
is not expected that the transaction
will involve any loss to the govern
ment, as the prices fixed assure a con-
siderable reserve of profit.
