great proportion of the profits from

Crop and Weather Bulletin.

Denver.-F. II. Brandenburg, district
forecaster, in the weather and crop
report for Colorado, says that the
weather has been ideal for the growth
of all crops, although In localities in
the northeastern part Of the state re-
ports indicate insufficient moisture
for the proper termination Of small
grain and sugar beets. Hail caused
some damage to alfalfa; sugar beets
and fruit in the vicinity of Longmont.
For the state as a whole, however, the
principal crops are making satisfac-
tory progress. Small grains are gener-
ally reported to be doing well; corn is
coming up, but planting is not yet
completed. Over the greater part Of
the sugar beet area the crop Is re-
ported to be doing as well as might be
expected The condition of grasses
and alfalfa is excellent, and ranges
are reported to be in good condition.

There's splendor in the heavens
Which adorns the western skies,
While the golden stars of morning
Add their luster as 1t flies.
'Tis the gathering fame of ages
Lighting pathway for the free
Which Its followers call "Old Glory"
And 1t stands for Liberty.
There's n splendor In the heavens
And it's made of blue and white,
With the hue OF human courage
Adding majesty and might.
And that flaming thing, all futtering.

In their onward sweep OF progress,
Serving newer realms to show.
Is n sign to all the nations
That the whole worlds moving on
To the heights of greater Freedom
And to deeds yet to be done!
Yes, that splendor in the heavens.
Though symbolic OF the fray.
Yields a CLEAN OF placid radiance
Which portends n brighter day.
And we need to heed that splendor.
Brightest since the world began
For It means an age of Freedom.
And of life and Joy to man!

The flag itself has been used to make
sacks for the transportation of coal
and other merchandise.
AS the result Of the efforts OF the
American Flag association, which 10
made up Of committees representing
many patriotic societies. and OF the
societies themselves, there are now
laws intended to protect the flag from
desecration on the statute books OF
nearly every state. The federal gov
ernment has also forbidden the use OF
the flag in registration Of trademarks,
and the United States Supreme court
has affirmed the constitutionality OF
nag legislation by the different states
and the right to make criminal all acts
Of desecration.
That it should have been necessary
to obtain decision from the Supreme
court regarding the constitutionality
of such measures may seem curious.
The value Of the use OF the flag for
commercial purposes was thought by
= vender of cigars to be sufficient to
warrant him in carrying a case
brought against him under the flag
law Of New York through all the
courts of the state. from the lowest to
the highest. The result was the de-
cision that part of the law was un-
constitutional. When an effort was
made the succeeding year to have the
law amended to meet the flaw com
mittee of bar association, without
the authority OF the association. op-
posed the passage of the amendment
at the solicitation of one of the mem
bers who had represented the Cigar
makers association. Although this
measure was fought up to the very
desk OF the governor, it was placed
upon the statute books.
Today in large majority OF the
states the flag may be used for only
such purposes as are in keeping with
its great Significance. The laws are
not uniform, and therefore there is
more license regarding the use Of the
nag in some states than In others. In
Ney York It Is against the law to put
any lettering or design upon the ma
tional or state flag. or to sell or give
away or even possess any article OF
merchandise or vehicle for the trans
portatIon Of merchandise which has
upon It a representation of either flag
It is also against the law to mutilate
or deface In any way, trample upon
defy or cast contempt by word or act
upon these emblems.

Finally neighbors, who had been

no longer see its reflection. In short
time the robin returned to begin the
