Kansas there was no change in cat
tie prices from 1913 quotations, and in
Wisconsin there was a decrease of
soc a hundred pounds.
State averages of prices for beef
cattle showed greater variation than
hog quotations. April's lowest aver
ages were in Alabama, Georgia and
Mississippi, s4.30. $3.50 and $40, re-
spectively, compared with $3.50 in
Rhode Island. s7.60 in New Hamp-
shire and $3.50 in New Jersey, the
highest.

farming than for grazing cattle, it will
be turned over to the men who want
to farm it. l am going to see that

more farmers, and to get farmers It
is my duty to throw open for the

A SONG OF THE FLAG.

tBy Denis A. Mccarthy
Here is my love to you, flag of the free.
and flag of the tried and true.
Here is my love to your streaming stripes
and your stars in a field of blue!
Here is my love to your silken folds wher
ever they wave on high, ftf1-
For you are the flag of land for which
I were sweet for a man to die!
Native or foreign are all as one when
cometh the day of strife
What Is the dearest gift we can give for
the flag but human life?
Native or foreign are all the same when
the hearts blood reddens the earth.
And native or foreign, t is love like this is
the ultimate test Of our worth!
Native immigrant-here is the task to
which we must summon our powers;
Ever unsulied to keep the flag in peace as
in wars wild hours.
Selhshness, narrowness, graft and greed
and the evil that hates the light,
All these foes of the flag today. all
these we must face and fight
Symbol of hope to me and mine. and to all
who aspire to be free
Ever your golden stars may shine. from the
east to the western sea!
Ever your golden stars may shine, and ever
your stripes may CLEAN
To lead us on from the deeds we do to
the greater deeds that we dream!
Here is our love to you. flag OF the free. and
flag OF the tried and true
Here is our love to your streaming stripes
and your stars In field OF blue!
Native or foreign, we're children all OF the
land over which you fly,
And native or foreign we love the land for
which It were sweet to die!

Of all crops, although In localities in

For the state as whole, however. the
principal crops are making satisfac-
