THE FLAG OF OUR COUNTRY.

on all the flags flung to the breeze
In all the lands beneath the sun;
OF all the flags on all the seas,
I claim but one, love but one.
There may be other flags for some
Which seem to be of equal worth,
But as for me that flag spells home
1t is the dearest flag on earth.
love Old Glory most, because
No king can claim her as his own,
And from her spring great eagle claws
When any one suggests throne.
BAPTIZED was she in blood of men,
And consecrated by the tears
OF brave though weeping women, when
They sent their loved ones forth with
cheers.
The men who raised that flag waged
war;
They bled, they died without com
plant;
They knew what they were fighting
for;
They gave themselves without re-
straint.
And so it is that here and now
We hoist thee, old Red, White and
Blue"
And underneath thy folds we vow:
We'll fight for you; we love but YOU

what I say. They must not only clean
the yards and the windows and floors
but must take hold OF the children and
their parents. There are schools whose
attendance would be better II there were
compulsory education laws in force. and
there are schools where the children
look like soap and combs were not al

and father allows child to eat a break
fast with unwashed face and hands and
hair that looks like a woods colt, what
can one expect Of that family as a help
TO the community? Children are natur-
ally prone to avoid soap and water as
a chemical experiment as TO its effect on
their skin, and tangles in their hair are
small matters to be let alone. or so they
would put It If questioned. IL takes

cleanliness on some children, but II can

It's a pity that people outside Of the

Many a reader Of these lines will

I live in south Georgia; the weather is
now nice and pleasant. My garden seeds

me as 1 am beginner. 1 expect to use
tin cans as have never been successful
with glass Jars in canning vegetables
hut have with peaches and preserves.
am sowing my front yard in Bermuda
grass and planting my rose bushes in
beds. I get so much help from Mrs.
Thomas chicken talks. / wish some one
who has been cured of gall stones would
kindly write. me through the household
of their experience. / have weak heart
and am afraid of an operation.
I use a gasoline iron and it is a great
convenience to the old way of ironing
with a wood fire. / want to purchase
a washing machine but am afraid they
don't do the washing satisfactorily. Only
those who have had their patience trie ]
with lazy or incompetent washerwomen
know how TO sympathize with women
like myself who are not able to wash
their own clothes. I will be glad when
some smart person invents some mate
rial to keep porcelain from breaking if
il has a fall. That will be a grand
thing for mothers who have to let chill
dren do the dish washing.

She found the opposite wall and felt
along it's all-but-unseen surface. AT
the farthest corner, her numbed fin

Intel of a door.
1t was the garages little back door,
giving on the alley, behind the grounds.
For one suicidal moment she thought
this back door was locked. But it was
only stuck from long disuse. She threw
her whole fragile weight against the
dirt-crusted portal. A shower Of dust
and spiders webs cascaded down upon
her head. But the door quivered at
the impact.
She heard wholesome Of them La.

against the door. This time it flew
wide; with whining of hinges and a
clatter of falling debris; and the rush
of her onset drove her half way across
the alley, outside.
Darling back to close the door be-
hind her. the old woman cast a fearful
look up and down the alley The coast
was clear. Incontinently Mary took to
her heels, scuttling down the alley and
around the first corner with the awk-

had much ado, too, to keep from
squawking like one, In the reaction
from her peril.

coat corner that protruded from the

noises from within. But they were so
faint and the door was so thick, that
he could not classify them. Nor, in

June reappeared around the corner of

for 1 love the good old southern ways

I am glad to say he has improved. When

works all the time. In fact, he hash I
missed but five days in a year. 1 feel
so thankful that the Lord has spared
him. 1 didn't think when we came here
that he would last much longer. Now
I have hopes. 1 believe that he is well.
We are talking of going down further
and taking a homestead. How many OF
Won have lived on a homestead?
We have so much snow here till one
almost wishes il never would snow any
more. We have had eight or nine feet
OF snow here this winter and the ground
has been covered ever since the nrst OF
November. The saying is lots of snow
lets of fat calves" next fall The old
Indian saying is "the depth of the
snow the height of the hoe" You know
IL doesn't rain much over here, so peo-
ple have TO depend on the snow to fur
nish water for their irrigating purposes
II makes me long for the dear old south
land. when I read Of so many of you
