CLINTON, Iowa, Sept. 1s-The Fly

tomorrow and divide the state up
INTO sections, each secretary assum-
ing responsibility for three or four
counties. The Flying Squadron, as
most everyone in Iowa knows, Is the
active Organization that Is boosting
for membership in the Greater Iowa
association.
When the organizers OF the asso-
citation got matters under way they
discovered that Iowa was so large It
would be necessary to get the help
of the active secretaries of the vari-
Gus commercial organizations through
out the state. It is following out this
plan that the Flying Squadron came
into existence.

Red, White and Blue, Choice Of Exscu-
tive Committee Of Fl. Edwards
Celebration for Decorating
Town During Festivities.
IS OF NATIONAL SCOPE
This 10 Believed by It's Citizens to be
Warsaw's Chance to Get
Back Former
Prestige.

The executive committee of the
Fort Edwards centennial celebration
announces that the national colors,
red, white and blue, will be used in
Decorating, says the Warsaw Bulletin.
This decision was reached owing to
the historic nature of the event, and
also because OF tendency through
out the country to use the colors OF
the flag at time when war is the all
absorbing topic between nations. Pat
riotic leagues have requested general
gatherings to join this movement.
The executive committee wishes all
business houses and residences to fol-
low the national color scheme in deco
rating. Much Of the success OF an
event of this kind depends on the fes-
tive appearance OF the streets. Each
citizen should make It q matter of
both town and personal pride to see
that his business house and residence
are attractively decorated.
At no other time within the past
sixty years has Warsaw been so con-
spicuously in thu public eye as during
the past twelve months, and especially
the closing summer. the Bulletin con-
tinues. Back In the ZOOS there was no
map Of the state but what had Warsaw

stances not necessary to relate, sub

glory waned; and though innumerable

by enterprising citizens to rehabilitate

tinuad to grow more inconspicuous.
But when the community showed 1t

"As we reached village after village

And yet, unless our laboring men
practice temperance and economy
the highest wages will not purchase
for them the blessings of life.
The condition of the lab oring
classes is without doubt the pressing
question of our times, and rulers and
capitalists should join hands with
workingmen to apply a speedy rem

the wisdom of sociologists, the de-

enunciated be sincerely lived up to.
These principles the Church places in

weight, for certainly no man ever
gave the subject closer investigation.
Shortly before DIR. Madden's death
the writer had the good fortune to
see him and to obtain from him
many interesting facts. The old
gentleman had become quite infirm,
being past eighty years of age, but
he kindly came up from his resi-
dence near Dublin to point out the
different places connected with the
family history. He was first driven
out to Glasnevin without knowing
his destination, and on getting out OF
the carriage at the church he did
not at first seem to recognize the
place. But after entering the
The Irish standard., 1914-05-30

churchyard, leaning on the writer's
arm, he suddenly became excited in
his manner, and increasing his pace,
he started off alone. Passing to the
left of the church he walked around
behind it, and placing his hands on
a rough headstone near the wall he
exclaimed: This is Robert Emmets
grave, which Mr.. --, the tailor,
showed me over fifty years ago."
A photographer having been en-
ployed to accompany the party, an
instantaneous impression of the
scene was taken while the old gen.
tleman was speaking. The doctor
had not visited the spot since he
was taken there by the tailor, who
claimed to have assisted in remov-
ing Emmet's body and in digging
the grave. If this be true it must
have been dug directly across the
footpath, as is evident from the posi-
ton of the other graves and the
dates on the nearest headstones.
After the execution the body was
taken to Bully's Acre, or Hospital
Fields, as it is sometimes called,
