RAISING THE
S~CHOOLHOUSE FLAG
A Fourth of July Poem

Today the birthrisht of her hopes The
younger nation sings
AZ on the pinions Of the light the BAN
ner lifts it's wings.
Today the future on u smiles and stu
dious labors cease
To set the flag above the school, our
fortress wall of peace
War bugIes old, storm beating drums
and veterans Scared and true
And children marching for the states
mid roses wined with dew.
Behind ys thrice = hundred years, be-
fore a thousand grand,
What says the past to you today, o
children Of the land7 3-11
What are thy legends, o thou flag
that gladdenest land and sea?
What is thy meaning in the air amid
the jubilee?
Flag Of the sur that CLOVIS for all,
FLAG Of the breeze that blows for all,
Flag Of the sea that fIows for all,
FIau of the school that stands for ALL
FLAG Of the people, one and ALI
The peaceful bugIes blow n blow
across the silver sea.
What is thy meaning in the arr oh,
banner, answer me-
oh, my America, whose flag we throne
amid the sky,
Beneath whose folds tits life to live and
noblest death to die,
hear the peaceful bugles blow across
the silver sea
And bless my God my palace stands a
cottage home in theel
So speak the voices of the past, ye
children of the land,
Behind US thrice q hundred years, be-
fore a thousand grand.
Such ara the legends of yon flag that
gladdens land and sea;
Such 10 the hand that scrolls the air
this day Of jubilee.
Flag Of the sun that shines for all,
Flag Of the breeze that blows for ALI
Flag Of the sea that flows for all,
Flag Of the school that stands for ALL
Flag of the people, one and alb
Hail, flag Of liberty, all hall
Hail, glorious years to comeI

shine and Joy. The old existence
drops into the vanished past. He has
a wife to cheer him onward in his
grapple with his fellow man for hon
ors and the wherewith to make the
future free from care, and children
to stimulate his ambition. In watch
ing them grow up, seeing their pranks
and listening to their laughter, he i'm
AGNES himself almost a boy again. Let
no one envy the lone man who has
40 family ties. He has a weary enough
pilgrimage of 1t. Women may smile
upon him, but unless he comes across
just the sort Of woman who appeals
to him he will never have that long
ing-to-settle-down feeling In his heart
Every man who would make his life q
success should feel 1t his duty to
marry and to surround himself with
home loves. II he shirks this respon-
sibility in his early manhood, the
blessings which might have been his
may not come to him. The older q
man grows the more he needs love.
The older man grows the more de-
pendent he Is upon a helpmeet- No
matter how rich he is, he is poorer
than the poorest pauper IL he has not
won love. He should heed the hearts
earnest call ere 1t is too late. The
workingman who has a large family
at home sings at his bench no matter
how hard his toll may be. His heart
is warm with the thought that there
will be a little face at every window
watching and waiting eagerly for him
as he ONE whistling home. When
he is old the BARNS he Is working SO
hard for now will lift the burden
from his shoulders and make his de-
clining years comfortable and con-
tented by the fireside. The lone rich
nan who has no family tie, growing
older day by day in the gilded splen-
dor of a hotel, must pay the hand
that holds a glass Of water to his
parched lips In sickness or for the
slightest service extended him. The
worst of 1t is, he realizes that the
fault is largely his. If every man
turned a cold shoulder toward matri-
mony in his youth, Cupid might throw
away his arrows.

to scrap with her iance concerning
his folks. His mother has b best
right in the world to influence him
while he's single. If he has a young
sister whom he has loved all his life
he cannot wholly ignore her wishes to
please q sweetheart.
A man likes a sensible, reasonable
girl. one who is not suspicious of his
motives and always questioning them
either sulky or having a downright
quarrel with him for no good reason.
For instance, II a young man has a
sister who is calling upon friends and
asks him to fetch her home, his sweet
heart should not raise an objection
If he quits her home half an hour
earlier for this purpose than is his
wont.
Many a girl has lost an excellent
lover by declaring he will have to
choose between his sister and herself
and absenting herself the evening
after when he calls.
He whose affection is strongest may
experience a change OF heart over a
mere trifie, II he has a stubborn, UNI
reasonable sweetheart, who appears
to love to scrap better than anything
else, though she knows this torment
is growing unbearable to him. The
girl who stops to reason the matter
out calmly must see that wen the
most ardent love cannot blind a man
long to such a grave fault; that he
will realize he would have little peace
with a wife who cared SO little for
his feelings as to scrap yer every
little tri1e.
It's q habit which grows upon a
woman. 1t is easily checked in the
beginning, but, like the avalanche,
impossible to stem later on. Yet wives
of this kind wonder why home loses
it's fascination for their husbands
and they stay at the club with
boon companions until the wee
sma' hours, as it were. The wom-
an with. harried thoughts cannot
expect to retain her beauty long.
The girl who has lost one good
lover by scrapping should take warn
ing. One man might endure it awhile,
but It would soon become irksome to
spend an evening with her. It's the
girls who don't scrap whose society
men seek.

HOUSEHOLD MATCHES.


Only Harmless Substances Will Be
Used Now In Their Manufacture.
Both the manufacture and sale Of
matches containing white phosphorus
will be brought to an end In this our
try on July /, 1918, when the law re-
Gently passed by congress, imposing a
prohibitve tax on matches in which
this substance Is used. will go into full
effect, says Popular Mechanics. This
law was passed after years Of agita-
ton and after a long educational cam
paign that made the public aware Of
the terrible effects produced on the
operatives in match factories through
working with white phosphorus and
brought ont the fact that there were
other forms of phosphorus not OF a
poisonous nature.
Phosphorus is obtained from bones.
which consist mainly Of phosphorus
and lime chemically combined with
each other and with organic matter.
The two forms most commonly seen
are white phosphorus and red phos-
phorus. The white phosphorus Is pol
sonous, while the red phosphorus Is
practically harmless.
Under the new law only two kinds
of matches will be in use-the so called
safety" match, which ignites when
scratched on a specially prepared II
face on the side of the box. and the
double tip match, which can be ig-
nited on any dry surface after the man
ner of the white phosphorus match
The main ingredient Of the safety"
match IL chlorate OF potash. while the
surface on which it is to be lighted is
painted with red phosphorus The sub
stance used for the double dip match Is

nature. In making these matches the
dirst dip coats the end Of the match
with an inert substance which keeps
the match burning after 1t is lighted,
while the second dip places on the
end Dc this substance the ~sesquisul-
phids fIE. A temperature OF over 300
degrees r. is required for igniting
these matches. They cannot be ignited

Eranklin,a suit Of Clothes.

Shortly before the outbreak Of the
Revolution Benjamin Franklin. then
postmaster general for the American
colonies, was in London trying to get
fair treatment for the Americans. His
petition was dismissed by the govern
ment as "groundless, scandalous and
v~exatious." and he lost his official post.
On returning to his lodgings that night,
says Lossing's Pictorial Field Book Of
the Revolution" Franklin took on the
suit Of clothes he had and de-
clared that he would never wear it
again until he should sign the degra-
dalton OF England and the independ-
ence Of America. More than ten years
later he donned the suit again when
he signed the treaty OF peace which
freed the United States.

NO FAMILY TIES

perhaps In some long twilight hour.
Like those we nave known OF old,
When shadows gather round you.
And your present friends grow cold.
You may stretch your hands out toward
me
All! you Wilt know not when
I shall nurse my love and keep It
Faithfully for you till then"
There Is no man more to be pitied
than he who has no family ties, who
must feed upon the friendship of
strangers or go heart hungry. With
out kith or kin in some part Of the
great wide world he Is like a ship
without q compass on the great tur-
bulent of life. The closest of
friends have interests apart from his
own Others are nearer still and
dearer to them than is he. The man
who Is alone in the world must ind
his own pleasures as best he IAN.
There Is not one human being who
would make a great sacrifice for him
and be glad OF the opportunity TO
serve him as one who was bound by
kinship ties. II he meets with re-
verses of fortune, the friends whom
he relied upon would not follow him
for the sake of his companionshiD
from luxurious rooms at his club to .
bleak room in q tenement There ara
few human friendships that would
stand such 3 test Only those who
are flesh of his flesh. blood Of his
blood. would hold him as dear in
poverty as In wealth No lone man
ever knows peace and comfort In his
heart until he anchors his affections
to q woman.
Then commences the delight Of
homemaking. He has q place to come
to- He has cemented another human,
heart unto his own When children
come to him they form his world. He
IL no longer q wanderer, dependent
upon the com~panionship Of strangers-
Within the four walls Of the home
which he has builded are human

HELPS FOR HOME SEAM
STRESSES.

Glue a tape measure firmly
across the front Of the sewing
machine. You will find It a great
convenience.
You may sew thin, transparent
materials on the sewing machine
without the unsightly puckering
Of the seams If you will first
place strips OF paper under the
edge of the material, stitching
through them when sewing the
seam. The paper is easily torn
away afterward. and the seam
viii be smooth.
When making cushion covers
for everyday s leave M side
opeli. Allow for a hem and make
buttonholes on one side and OPP
posite put on small pearl but
tons. These are very convenient,
for they are easily changed and
do away entirely with the trou-
BILE of sewing together each time.
A straight facing should be
placed on the neck of a low cut
blouse so that 1t will not pull out
OF shape, but If a full curve is
required it will be necessary to
face the edge with a narrow
strip of bias material stretched
TO at the curve.
1t is a fact that an embroid-
cred petticoat will wear much
longer If a narrow lace edging is
stitched underneath the edge.
This protects the points of the
embroidery and gives a pretty
finish to the petticoat.

CORSAGE FLOWERS.

Artificial Flowers Are Used to Adorn
Afternoon and Evening Gowns.
Corsage flowers are lavishly used.
The newest sort are small lunches of
flowers and foliage made of gold and
silver cloth. They are decidedly dain-
ty, especially on white or other light
afternoon or evening frocks. And the
newest place to wear corsage flowers
Is well up toward the shoulder.
You have doubtless heard the story
that the modern society dances have
brought despair to the raisers Of vio-
lets. The modern woman al no longer
wear a bunch of violets. 1t would be
too quickly crushed when she danced.
Perhaps the same situation accoun
for the fact that she now years her
artificial corsage flowers on her shout
der. Even artificial flowers can be
crushed.
Garlands and bands of artificial flow
Brs are a part Of many Of the daintiest
evening frocks. A fringe of tiny chiffon
rosebuds is sometimes used to edge long
satin or chiffon sash ends. And n of
the newest parasols is a rather digni-
fed one of taffeta. made on straight
lines, with a band Of diminutive fresh
pink chiffon roses fastened stiniy five
inches from the edge.
The long stemmed flowers and huge
velvet pansies and orange flowers and
myrtle made Of oilcloth. flowers with
leaves Of the thinnest sheets OF cork
and pure white gardenias-these grace
some Of the newest hats. And. too.
there Is an occasional bunch of some
small flower with fbrous roots.

"sANE" FOURTH GAINING.
Fewer Lives and Limbs Now Lost In
Days Celebration.

The celebration of the Fourth of
July with fireworks, which in former
years caused death or injury to an
average of 1900 persons a year, is be-
coming a memory. The day passed off
last year with only 8 dead and 365 in
jured in the entire country.
The sane Fourth movement has
spread widely since last year. which
showed a big reduction in casualties
as compared with previous years. In
Kansas alone fifty towns have Rlssed
ordinances ~forbidding the death deal
ing kind OF celebration.
The saving of life and limb in the
larger cities is shown by the following

LOVE OF MONEY is
ROOT OF ALL EVIL

The Root Of Evil" was the sub
iect of the sermon of Rev. q. w. Hem
ry at the First Christian church He
said that often the love of money SUI
peseded mans love OF self respect and
character. He said in part:
zone test of a mans character is
the thing ne prizes most highly. What
he is, is demonstrated by what he is
willing to trade for something else.
Consequently his love for money be-
comes so great that the welfare of
others and his own honor become
cheap in comparison. He will readily
sacrifice them in the pursuit of gold.
illustrations of these things are so
numerous that the embarrassment is
TO choose a few from the great num-
Der. Many men will sacrifice their
religious convictions for gain. They
will not hesitate to use the sabbath
for day on which to transact bust
ness. Liquor dealers as a whole are
rot in the business for love of the
traffic, but for love Of the money that
the trade brings to them"

PARCEL POST RULING
TO BENEFIT FARMERS
BurIcson Orders That Farm Produce
BE Sent i'm Crates Used i'm Ex-
press Shipments.

Farmers and truck dealers in St
Joseph county will be greatly bene-
fitted by a further extension of the
parcel post whach has just been
announced from Washington by Post
master General Burleson. BY the new
ruling farm produce. Weighing over
20 pounds and under so can be sent
by mail when merely packed in the
crates and boxes ordinarily used TO
send this class of produce by express.
This means that the parcel post
will now add an express service for
farm produce weighing within these
limits and that il will not be neces-
sary to pack these articles to permit
their being handled i'm mail bags. This
service is effective for shipment not
exceeding $50 miles This liberali-
zation of the parcel post system VII
be of great benefit TO farmers living
within $50 miles Of some big garden
produce center like Chicago. Produce
may be packed and shipped more
cheaply and conveniently and shipped
at lower rates by post generally than
by express.
Postmaster General Burleson. in an
explanatory statement just issued
outlines the aims of the department
as follows:
Butter, eggs, fruits, berries, NeSe-
tables dressed poultry, and other
articles in parcels weighing over 20
pounds and up to 90 pounds for ship
ment within the first and second
zones-a approximately $50 miles-can
now be packed in boxes and crates
similar to those generally used when
shipping by express as these large
parcels will now be handled outside
OF mail bags
Packages of these articles weigh
ing 20 pounds or less are required as
heretofore TO be securely packed in
such manner as to be safely handled
