! cross from the Whitley county side.
Fourteen counties in the state are
quarantined because of outbreaks of
the disease, and more than half the
counties have formed organizations to
prevent it's spread.
Measures Check Plague.
Mr.. Starr said these measures were
proving effective, and that the disease
was being checked, with only a few
new cases reported this week. He
warned the farmers that any lack Of
vigilance might be the means of bring
ing about a new outbreak at any time.
"It will be a long time before the
last traces of the disease are removed,
and it will be several years before
the farmers of the state recover from
the losses incurred" he said.
He explained the symptoms of the
disease, and the danger from it to
animals and human beings, also show
ing the ease with which it spreads,
by the most unexpected agencies.
I'm one respect" said Mr.. Starr.
this outbreak has been a boon to
the farmers in Indiana, because it
has taught them that disease germs
really exist, and the measures that
have been taken will bring about a
greater advance in the fight against
hog cholera than anything that has
been done for years. Every railroad
stock yard and car, and all slaughter
houses in the state have been cleaned
! and disinfected, and the quarantine
coming at a time when cholera 10
prevalent has served to prevent ship
ping of sick hogs. The farmers have
been treated to a genuine scare, and
have learned lesson that they will
not soon forget"
Dr.. Wagner Absent.
DR.. c. o. Wagner, federal venterin-
ary inspector for this district, was un-
able to be present at the meeting, but
sent a written statement covering the
government attitude in fighting the
plague. He also sent copies Of the
federal regulations which have been
issued including interstate shipping
regulations.
Dr. Wagner also asked that the
railroad officials, butchers and farm
ers Of the county be comme ended for
the attitude they have shown since
; the disease broke out. He said that
every precaution had been taken by
them to keep the disease out Of Wayne
county, and they deserve credit for the
work. He volunteered his services to
any farmers who wished information
or help in checking the plague.

Investigation soon showed that
many stockholders of the two institu-
tions knew nothing Of the project. a.
fact that aroused the suspicion that
perhaps the deal was being manipu-
lated by certain interests in the two
banks.
The tremendous advantage accruing
to both institutions from a merger
quickly appealed to the financial
circles OF the city and it was pointed
out that the new bank would give
Richmond one of the strongest and
most influential banking institutions
in Indiana. The combined banks
would have had thousands Of deposit
ors and connections with the biggest
industrial concerns of the county.
Herein would have been found the
strength of the new institution.
Big Men In Favor.
1t is positively known that some of
the big men in both banks we're in
favor of the merger. What the atti-
tude OF the smaller stockholders
would have been is not known. al
though the refusal of some of the
stockholders of the Second to combine
would seem to indicate that the con-
solidation would have been wrecked.
Only a few of the big stockholders
in the First National knew of the
proposed consolidation. while John L.
Rupe, formerly attorney for the First.
now attached to the Second in the
same capacity. and George Miller per-
haps one or two others In the Second,
acting with the approval of D. G. Reid.
pushed the merger in this bank
Mr.. Reid. SO 1t was learned. had no
objection to the merger. in fact, had
approved of it. before the First
National was approached on the sub
ject.
When the matter was put to certain
influential stockholders of the Second
National Monday 1t did not meet their
approval. Stock owners voiced their
protest in no uncertain terms and at
once declared their ability to swing
enough stock to check effectively any
merger on the part Of Second National
This opposition, which was anticipat-
ed. but was not expected to be SO
strong as 1t later showed itself, proved
the hitch that prevented the merger.
Stockholders Of both banks, seen to
day by The Palladium. said there was
no reason from a business standpoint
why the two banks should merge, az
both were money makers.

THE FLAG

Leigh Mitchell Hodges, in the Phila-
delphia North American:
When freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
Thus sang Joseph Rodman Drake,
one of the first of American poets to
achieve distinction.
The flag he praised in his immortal
poem is being celebrated throughout
its dominions today.
More than 100, 900, 900 people are
or should be-giving it a little extra
thought on this Flag day.
They are-or should be-thinking OF
il because it stands for some things
better than any flag ever before token
ed.
It stands for liberty and for human
rights. Some of those who dwell under
it do not yet fully understand just
how much it must be made to guaran-
tee in these lines. But the nation is
even younger than the race, and the
race is merely in its boyhood.
AS we grow older we shall learn
more about justice and equality. Then
the stars and stripes will wave a mes
sage ever finer than now they 1utter
to the world of men who look doubt
ingly upon this experiment in govern
ment.

RUSSIAN NOBUEMAN HERE

From the Watertown Public-O Opinion
we get the following interesting story
of a young Russian Nobleman, who
spent a couple Of months at the State
College this spring and who will con-
tinue his studies at the beginning Of
the next college year:
CARRIED in a pair of old overalls, a
soft working shirt and wearing an
old brown hat and a healthy tan on
his face and arms, George Troubni-
koff, a young Russian nobleman and
the heir of an immense fortune, is
making a thorough study of agricul-
ture in South Dakota by actual exper,
fence as an ordinary farm hand, in
order that he may better understand
how to till the soil Of a large farm
owned in Russia. The young man is
at present staying at the Thornt Bah
cock farm north of Lake Kampeska.
He intends to either remain there or
on some South Dakota farm during the
summer and in the winter to study at
the South Dakota agricultural college
at Brookings.
George Troubnikoff, still a young
man of not much more than twenty
years Of age, came to America from st.
Petersburg, where he has heretofore
made his home and where he vas edu.
Gated. His father. George Troubnikoff,
ST., is a member of the upper branch
Of the Russian parliament, which

acres Of land, which the son will farm
upon his return, is farther east in
Kasan, on the river volga.

M. &. DEAcoNEss ASSOCIATION

The Methodist Deaconess Associa'
ton, the form of deaconess work with
which the Dakota Deaconess Associa-
ton is affiliated met in biennial eon-
vention in Omaha June 8 and 10. This
delegated body is composed of super
intendents and representatives from
the various deaconess institutions.
Eleanor S. Moore, superintendent of
the Dakota Deaconess Hospital repre-
scented the Dakota Deaconess Associa'
ton and brings the following report:
Forty-fve delegates representing
twenty-five institutions presented Gre
dentials at the first session. These
delegates were from many states
from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
New York in the east. from the GEN.
trail, the middle west, and the Pacific
states they came with their reports.
The corresponding secretary Of the
General Deaconess Board was present
and spoke for the work as a whole. He
gave the estimated property value OF
deaconess institutions between six and
seven million dollars. The last year
saw an increase in estimated centers
of about $500, 900 while as much more
is being expended in new buildings
either now in course of erection or pro-
posed. More than one thousand wo-
men are engaged in this church activ-
ity. The one embarrassment in the
development of the work, however, is
that deaconesses cannot be secured to
manage the institutions which might
be established.
The secretary also reported n hun
dred twenty-six deaconess institutions
in the United States. OF these forty
nine are deaconess houses, and twenty
five are hospitals. Hospitals and
schools are leading in present day de-
velopment.
During one session of the conven-
ton the deaconesses were asked to
respond to a roll call with date of
license and where and how engaged
during the years. Thirty-seven re.
sponded and the years of service given
totaled Ave hundred fifty. What would
the total be for the thousand more wo-
men who are serving?
At all times during the convention,

Always, when I speak or think Of
this flag of ours, I wonder a bit if we
fully appreciate how l'ttle it stands
for unless we, the people under it,
stand for something.
A flag is a place of bunting. 1t may
be put together by anyone and hoisted
by anyone. Always there is room for
a new flag in the world of human
activity.
The power and real meaning of any
flag are to be found in the thoughts
and intentions back of it.
The stars and stripes could be made
to stand for tyranny if enough of its
followers stood for such a thing. We
must not forget this. We must not
forget that the flag stands for what
we. the people, stand for.
There is placed upon each of us a re-
sponsibility in this respect. In some
measure you are the flags guarantor.
So is your neighbor and his friend and
the business partner of the latter.
You are the nation, in a measure. A
small measure-yes, but it takes many
small things to make a great thing like
this nation of ours.
Remember, it is your flag.
Remember, also, that you are its
g%uarantor, as well as it's guardian.
And as you look at it today, resolve
to help make it mean more and better
things for mankind in general.
