Your flag and my flag,
And how it floats today,
In your land and my land
And half world away.
Rose red and blood red
It's stripes forever CLEAN;
Snow white and soul white,
Our good forcfathcrs' dream;
Sky blue and true blue,
With stars that CLEAN Alright.
A gloricd guidon through the day
A shelter through the night.

And oh! how much it holds,
Your land and my land
Secure within it's folds.

CHARGE AGAINST "KULTUR"

A charge, SO CHASTITY as to be almost
unbelievable, indicting "Kultur" for
system by which fats and fertilizers
are rendered from .the bodies of dead
soldiers, has recently been made
against Germany. These stories were
given little credence when first they
became disseminated. The countries
at war frowned on their circulation,
believing them an injustice to their
foe .and considering that they would
react against people making use of
them.
While in quarters the ghastly charges
were for some time doubted, they be-
came so widespread as to arouse notice
and demand investiga tion. The case
seems now to be fairly completely es-
tablished by testimony of American
consuls, Belgian, Dutch and finally by
German boasts themselves. The Lon
don and Paris newspapers have appar-
emily all accepted the story and, after
careful investigation, treat the system
of ''kultur" editorially.
Thus we see to what the Prussian
militaristic government will resort to
gain its ends. In case of famine in
Germany, in face of the above we may
expect a sacrifice of the aged and the
prevalence of cannabalism in this
"kultur" mad land of the kaiser.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT

While it may be a fact that some
few stretches of Hood River county
highways are in worse shape at the
present time than in former years,
take the road system as whole and it
was never better. From Valley Crest
to Cascade Locks and from Fir to Oak
Grove store, the motorist travelling
over the county will find the most of
the roads in fair shape.
During the past spring Hood River
county has made some appreciate
strides in the construction of perma-
nent roads. Money spent on new work
is not wasted, for the improvement is
permanent in character. When the
year is finished we believe the county
court can show excellent results for
the road work done through the ex-
penditure of the limited fund at their
disposal.
If one would see good example of
permanent road work, let him visit the
scene of construction now under way
by the Transfer & Livery Co., on the
boat landing road just east of the city.
