On Memorial day the flag should fly at

There are certain other observances

No other flag should ever be flown on

the church pennant may be displayed

When several flags are flown from the

Some weeks ago Editor Chadbourne of

to get at the truth of the report that Ed
torial Photographer Condor of the Man
chester Union, on the advice of the editor
of the Biddeford Journal had once plant
ed suntower seeds with his pole beans
with the idea that the sunflower stalks
would serve as support for the beans,
and that those stalks grew faster than
the beans, thus pulling the vines out OF
the ground. The party of the first part
now complains that he has thus far got
no answer to his question. Well, If Con-
don has any grievance, it's up to nm.
You wouldn't expect US to incriminate
ourself, would you, Chado Even if we
gave such advice, it was Condon's duty
to synchronze the growth of stalks and
vines and so avoid the alleged calamity:
