Respect the FIau.

Proper use of the United States flag:
means much to American patriotism.
Never let the flag touch the ground
Fold it carefully whenever it is taken
down. Never knot, tie, or crumple 1t.
Never hoist the flag before sunrise or
after eight o'clock in the morning.
Take it down at sunset, also during
storms. Outdoors, it should be hung
from a pole, if possible, at least so that
1t can wave. When flying with other
emblems, the flag should be placed to
the right.
Fly the flag at half-mast only to in
dictate mourning for the death Of dis
tinguished public person. When hy-
ing the flag at half-mast, first raise it
to the top of the pole. When the flag
is formally raised, each person present
should stand at attention with hand
raised to forehead waiting for the
salute.

So WHEAT Is MINIMUM

SAYS CROCKERLAND IS MYTH
EXPLORER MACMILLAN ASSERTS
PLACE DOES NOT EXIST.
Returning Home From Years Stay in
Polar Regions Contends that Mir
age Deceived Peary's Party.

Sydney, N. S., Aug. 28.-Donald
MacMillan's Arctic exploration expe-
dition has arrived on the relief steam
er Neptune after four years spent in
the polar regions. He was one of
Rear Admiral Peary's lieutenants on
his successful dash for the North pole.
Macmillan confirmed previous dis
patches from him that there was no
Crockerland such as had been report
ed by Peary. Peary's mistake was
due to a mirage so real that the Mac
MILAN party had been deceived by it
for four days, he said.
Prolific Source of Dispute
The first objective of the Macmillan
expedition, which was organized under
the auspices of the American Museum
of Natural History and the American
Geographical society, with the cooper
alton of the University of Illinois, was
to prove or disprove the existence of
Peary's CrOckerland, which has been
a prolific source of dispute among ge-
ographers and scientists. The next
purpose of the expedition was to con-
duct survey of the Greenland ice
cap.
