Hungry as so many wolves the ex-
cursionists got their teeth into q bang
up lunch at Lewistown where they
spent an hour and fifty-two minutes.

filled the hollow spots beneath their

about the industrial and commercial
achievements of the place.

Follow the Flag
One of the first to give souvenirs
to the eXcursionists was P. G. Diener,
the jeweler, who handed out a gold
trip with an inscription Follow the
Flag" which was as follows:
Put it on the lapel of your coat
and keep it there
The Stars and Stripes-the emblem
of neutrality-suspicious. and
Prosperity.
Accept it with my compliments and
Every mothers son, regardless of
class, creed or. nationality
Every -living-breath-
ing individual in Gods Countrywide
United States of America should
wear it every day.
Prosperity is here-nothing can
stop it.
Follow the Flag
Out to the wheat fields-the corn
fields-the oat fields = where the
greatest crop in history is being har-
vested.
Follow the Flag
To the cities-the small townsville
factories and the farm--to the happy
homes of happy people.
Follow the Flag
To the banks and repositories =
listen to the merry jingle of the dol
lars from the bond holder, and the
merchant-from the stenographer and
the clerk-the teacher and the house
wife-the mechanic and the laborer.
But-Follow the Flag
Wear the Stars and Stripes - sit
tight = don't rock the boat
Follow the Flag
Stick-stiffen your backbone-turn a
deaf ear to the Pessimist--the Calam-
ity Howler-and the Mugwump.
Follow the Flag
Stop knocking-choke the knocker
talk prosperity. With 5,500,O00, 900
bushels of grain-there are going to
be doughnuts for all-but whether
you have butter for your parsnips de-
pends upon yourself.
Follow the Flag
If 1t takes you through fire and
rimStone-stick-we the Stars and
StrlpeS-and follow the flag
