Why Was It?

Two facts were very noticeable
on Decoration Day and caused
considerable comment. One was
that there was no ''Old glory"
floating from the G. A. R. flag
pole at the hall. and another was
that there was a prominent block
in the city without flag decora-
tion. There is little excuse for
such negligence.
