Priceless Relic in Gov.
errors Island Chapel
Apparently Used
r 1888 to 1871

A MONG the many scores Of flags
~ that adorn the walls or hang
from the rafters Of the chapel
of Saint Cornelius the Cen
surion, on Governors Island, Is one of
costly material and unusua, design
which has recently attracted the spe-
cial attention of three gentlemen who
are known as the leading authorities
in this country on the subject of flags.
1t Is a subject not much studied by the
public in general, but these experts.
having made 1t more or less of a hobby,
have found it extremely fascinating.
The three arc the Rev. Dr. Edmund
Banks Smith, vicar and chaplain of
the chapel: Gherardi Davis Of New
York and Il. G. Ballard Thruston of
Kentucky, who is prominently identi-
fled with the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution. They have,
after long study and carcful research,
been able to identify the flag in ques-
ton as the first one carried by the
United States army from about 1883
TO the time of the act Of March 3,
1891, when the size of the regular
army was increased. Prior 10 that the
army had consisted Of one regiment
and one battalion of artillery only.
The flag is made of bright blue
pongee silk, with an elaborate design
of which only two other examples are
known to exist. One of these is pre-
served at West Point. and the other
Is a mere fragment, nov in New Or
leans. which is said To have been car
ried in actual service by the troops
under Gen. jackson.
The design Is a gorgeous picture of
the American eagle grasping arrows
and what are evidently intended as
olive leaves in its claws. Thirteen
eight pointed stars appear, ranged over
the head Of the eagle.
The shield of the United States Is
represented in front of its breast and
carries thirteen stripes. over the
shield hang two ribbons on which Is
the inscription Of the name of the
regiment which carried the flag. This
is now practically illcgible. Surround
ing the eagle is a remarkable %sunhurst.
laid on So heavily with gold as To be
unusually brilliant even now. though
fragments of the gold Leaf have faxed
of here and there.
Underneath the rest Of the design,
and this is a point which has aided
the experts in fixing the date Of the
flag. there is a bank of clouds, over
which the eagle Is represented "a pois-
ing. This, Mr.. Davis has pointed out,
follows the designs of earlier European
flags and is not found on any other
American flags than the three men
toned.
In the course of time the flag in
question has suffered considerable mu-
tilation. but having been restored by a
process which Chaplain Smith learned
in Europe and has introduced in this
country. IL now presents almost a per-
feet appearance The most serious
mutilation which now shows is the
disappearance OF the upper part Of the
eagle.
The story Of the practical discovery
and the subsequent Identification Of

Use Cement for Sidewalks

The Clearwater Republican says:
Orofino is making a mistake in lay
ing another foot of wooden side
walk. Use cement. 1t is the cheap
est in the end, and looks much better.
Cement walks should be cut in
sections, say every four feet, which
will prevent cracking when the
ground settles. The government,
when it lays cement, cuts sidewalks
into squares, each piece being indie
pendent so that it may be removed
without injury to the rest of the
walk. AS the mixture begins to
harden a trowel is inserted to the
ground, a practice that will prove
valuable here. The government
will furnish this information free,
giving the proper mixture and pro-
portion of cement for all kinds of
work. After Uncle Sam erected
the federal building at Moscow
laying lot of first class cement
walk the local contractors saw the
value of Uncle Sans ways and
adopted them. The result is lot
of first class cement walk.

Obituary

The deceased, Mrs. Della Finke
nee Tamke was born June Ia, 1880.
in Hanover, Germany. Soon she
was baptized in the name of the tri-
une God and so became a member
in the body of Jesus Christ. Ac-
cording to the usage of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church she renewed
the covenant of baptism by her con-
firmation at the usual time. June
16, 1908, she entered the holy es-
tate of matrimony with George
Finke. This happy union was bless
ed with 8 children. Besides she
raised in faithful and motherly love
the a children of her deceased sister
of which one went to eternity before
her. After a long suffering, born
in christian patience, she went home
to Jesus in the light on the 9Th day
of July, 1915, in steadfast faith in
her savior, which faith she had
strengthened during her entire life
by the continual use of the word of
God and his holy sacrament. She
died of acute gastritis. She reached
an age of 35 years and % days. This
bereavement is deeply felt by her
husband, 6 children, an aged mother.
7 brothers and sisters, and a host of
other relatives and friends. The
funeral was held in Cameron. Many
friends from all over the ridge, from
Genesee and Clifford were present.
The beautiful flowers attracted at

see and Rev. A. Graebener of Clifford
conducted the services, both in Eng
lish and German. A Friend.

Half Year Mine Fig
ures for Idaho

From January to June, 1915, the
prices of silver and lead. the most
important metals of the State, have
been low, according to report by G.
N. Gerry of the United States Geo.
logical Survey. The rise in lead at
the end of the period will doubtless
spur many of the companies to in
creased production. But this will
be to a large extent off set by the
idleness of the Hercules mine, the
smelling contract of which proper
ty expired May 81. This is the
second largest single lead producer
of the Occur d'Alene region. On
the other hand, a large increase in
zinc production will certainly be
made, as the main producer, the
Success, Morning, and Interstate
Callahan, have smelling contracts
and are making every effort to meet
an increased demand. The first
quarter of 1915 the Interstate CAL
lahan produced II 1863 tons of crude
zinc ore and concentrate, averaging
about 48 per cent zinc. The plant
of the Frisco mine, using concentra-
tion, flotation and magnetic separa-
tion, has begun operations, and is
adding to the zinc output. The
copper situation in Cluster and
Shoshone Counties has been stimu-
lated by the better price, as indi-
Gated by the resumption of work at
the mines near Mullan.

Small Towns Should
Patronize Home Merchants

What's the matter with the store
in the small town? John Allen
Underwood quotes the statement of
an important trade journal that "95
of every 100 storekeepers in the
rural sections are ready to sell out. I"
Current Opinion contains his dis
cussion of the subject.
The trade journal was charged
with putting the ratio too high and
jumping at conclusions. Mr.. Under
wood, however, points out that the
conclusions issue from five years of
investigation and that the number
of dissatisfied merchants in small
towns "is very large" The percen-
tage, whatever this may be. pos
sesses less Importance than the ten
dency toward discomfort.
The art of merchandising has
greatly advanced during the last
quarter century, but the retailer in
the small town is accused of being the
last business man to hear of and use
the new methods. Usually he enjoys
no access to the modern ideas and
the newer methods. He rarely
comes into touch with the man of
larger experience who could suggest
more effective dealing.
The catalogue firm is the dread
of the rural retailer. Mr.. Under
wood declares that the dread has
some justification. In a commu-
nifty of Wisconsin a catalogue house
secures thousands of dollars of local
business annually, and not one of
the retailers on the main street
makes more than meager living.
The townfolk who patronize the
mail order firms, according to Mr..
Underwood, lose. He believes that
they have made no direct saving
and have not lowered their living
costs. If they had, they were losers
in the large, for they sapped the
business life of the community and
their neighbors. They set the price
of their lands and homes on the
down grade. They depressed local
labor and wages.
A chief cause of catalogue bust
ness taking business away from local
business is that the rural merchant
in the Underwood view, does not
know how to buy merchandise or
display it attractively. is ignorant
how to advertise and to arouse in.

But the small town retailer neeC

Let him advertise, arrange and dis

The startling disclosure was made
recently that the shortage in the
state treasury was increased $17,-
1882 through the discovery on.the
books of the Juggling of coupon
bond payments. This disclosure is
the result of an investigation of
the transactions of O. V. Allen, de-
faulting self-confessed treasurer
now serving term in the state pen
itentiary and his partner in crime,
Fred M. Coleman, a self-confessed
embezzler while deputy state trea-
surer also in the states penal insti-
tuition, made by James S. Bogart,
who has been commissioned through
an agreement reached between Gov
ernor Alexander and Attorney Gen
eral Peterson, to investigate all
transactions of the defaulting Of
ficials while they were connected
with the department, to determine
definitely just what the total short
age is. This is necessary before
the state can take steps to collect
and recover under Aliens and Cole
mans respective bonds.
