Flag Day is so intimately con-
nected with the teaching of the
rising generation and aliens as
to the history and meaning of
the stars and stripes, that the
example of New York city in
getting out over a million school
children that day to celebrate it
by parades, professions and adj
dresses would be a good one to
follow in this state. Fourth of
July is of late celebrated mainly
by excursions and picnics, but
flag day follows so closely the
breaking up of the schools for
the summer vacation, that a flag
day could be managed with very
little labor in towns like Red
wood Falls.

THE BANK AND THE
FARMER

bankers know where the
Is money comes from. They
Q do well to advertise the
success of John Busch, who
made $4,000 grow from a loan
of $66. It happened in Rock
Rapids, Iowa, but the National
City Bank of New York has
given wider currency to the
story told by President Shade of
the local institution.
The banks attitude toward
the young man, specially in his
earlier years, illustrated the
truth of Mr.. Morgan's remark
that character is the best Sc
curity. Even when returns be-
gan to come in, he was encour-
aged to keep the money Dor
rowed and put his profits into
the business. Corn was the great
crop that made him, but he adj
ded wisely to his live stock

1t should be remembered that

farmer had the best of all capt.

the way of the earth with seed,
