The Ftao on the Schoolhouse.

Every public schOOlhouse in this
country wears as a GROWING jewel the
United States flag. This is so accord
ing to the law. But long before legis-
lative bodies passed this law the flag
had permanent place over the Fifth
Street Grammar school in New Bed
ford. the first public school in this
country to raise the United States flag
and make the use of it a permanent
feature of the public school admins
tration.
That flag was unfurled May II, 1861.
and that flag and nine others served
the school until May IL, 1901, the for
tieth anniversary of the raising of
flags. when a small one for use within
the building and larger one for use
on the building were unfurled.
This school was organized Sept. II.
1860, and just eight months from that
day it flung to the breeze the first flag.
That flag was in use during the entire
period of the war. At the end of the
war the flag was completely whipped
out and unfit for further use. 1t was
then discarded. but not till it's success
sor had been purchased. What became
of it nobody knows.-B Boston Globe.

AS for the blouses, we may witness
a revival of the garden smock, which
took so strong a hold summer or so
ago. One of these recently seen was
quite different from the smock as we
knew it last summer. 1t was of tango
red crepe, long and close, and slipped
on over the head. 1t was shirred a
the neck and at the shoulders along
an oval line, which was emphasized
by a piping of yellow crepe trimmed
with wool embroidery. The smock
hung unbelted over the skirt to the
knees, after the manner Of most gar
den smocks. The red and yellow COM
bination in this smock showed the in
fluence of the Indian colorings, one
of the new notes in sports clothes.
Indian embroideries on sports coats
of heavy cream-colored silk make very
attractive trimmings, and they are al
so effective on coats of dark blue serge
These embroideries are worked in silks
or heavy mercerized cottons in very
bright colorings with number OF
colors mixed together. AS this is to

Mr.. Williams was speaking of mail
order competition and catalogues.
"The retailer who is not using his
local newspaper for advertising is
overlooking the biggest trade build

said. "There is nothing that equals
newspaper advertising for the re-

to keep up that eternal pounding
away which must be kept up, at an
outlay he can meet.

Separate skirts and blouses take on

bring them very much into prominence

Wolfe a Leading Fabric
A great deal of wolfe and muslins
will be used this spring. The counters
of the stores are already Overlooking
with voiles of all descriptions; plain
sprigged, figured, striped and checked.
Bordered materials, too, will have a
place among the fashionable fabrics,
whether printed or embroidered and
whether of cotton or silk. -
PLANE wolfe combined with linen IN
matching color has been used in the
fashioning of some of the advance
spring dresses, and, though unusual,
the combination is entirely pleasing.
A very pretty model was made with a
long Russian blouse of wolfe edged
with a deep band of linen and having
the neck and sleeves finished with mar
rover bands of linen. The skirt was
made entirely of linen with the blouse
worn over it. These costumes in pale
blue, sand and white were given a
contrasting touch by embroidery on
the neck and front of the waist.
Collarless necks in square, round,
and oval outlines are being offered by
the creators Of styles; but there are
not universally becoming, and for
tunately those who cannot wear them
can take refuge in the high or the
soft, rolled collar, one or the other
of which may be depended upon to suit
every face. Some of the very newest
collars are high, with large turned
over portion doubled back and extend
ing below the base of the collar in a
rounded outline.
One of the styles in low collar
which still retains popular favor is
seen in the sketch. The collar is Of
Irish crochet on a dress of fine wolfe.
which is simply made with gathered
waist and a tucked skirt. For the
light fabrics of spring and summer
the tucked models are always good.

SPECIAL LETTER FROM NEW
YORK TO THE SAUK CEN.
TIRE HERALD Il.
New York, March 5, 1917.

New York, March 5, 1917.
Whatever the forecasts of spring
styles may disagree about, one one
point they are more or less agreed,
and that is that skirts will be narrow
er at the hem. There will be no flare
whatever, and even if some skirts are
not actually narrower they will at
least appear so from the absence OF
the flare. Many skirts, however, are
appreciably narrower. They measure
from two to two and a quarter yards
at the lower edge. When we compare
these measurements with the three
and courtyard skirts that were worn
last spring, it leaves no doubt as to
the change. From the Partisan open
ings, which are now being held we
hear that the narrow skirt is no long
er a rumor, but fact.

He now has the same amount of but
terfat, 100 pounds, and only tire 10
gal. cans are needed as there are now
only $50 pounds of cream. In bring
ing in this cream he loses only 15C
pounds of skim milk worth about 37e
as compared with $1.00 worth in the
former case.
Some more reasons why rich cream
or heavy testing cream is more profit
able to the creamery patrons than thin
cream:
1. Heavy cream will not sour as
quickly as thin cream and it requires
less ice or cold water to cool it.
2. He takes better care of small
er amount of cream and thereby pro-
duces a better quality cream.
8. He has his butter fat in smaller
bulk, needs fewer cream cans and
smaller cooling tank.
A.. He has less bulk to haul or ship
to creamery and thereby saves trans
portation charges on the same.
Using the same example as above,
he has only $50 pounds of cream to
cool and haul in the case of rich cream
compared with 500 pounds where the
cream tests 20 per cent.
The buttermaker prefers high test
ing because it is more profitable to
the creamery.
(a) Because it reduces the amount
of cream to handle and reduces the
amount of buttermilk. Therefore,
there are less pounds of butter fat loss
and less labor is required to operate
creamery.
(b) 1t enables the buttermaker to
increase the capacity of the cream
cry.
(c) 1t gives larger overrun thus
reducing the cost of manufacture.
(d) 1t improves the quality of the
butter, by receiving a better quality
cream, and by permitting the use of
a cleaner, higher favored starter. e.
What Some Dairymen Have Found
Out Concerning Watering Cows.
One man arranged his barn SO that
his herd of 25 cows could have water
any time they desired it. His mix
record showed an increase of 40 lbs.
of milk daily as result. This seems
small but Soc day is pretty fair re-
turn on water.
Another man tried watering his
cows before going to bed at night and
was surprised that they drank from,
20 to so TBS. each. He claimed that it
increased his yields of milk Is per
cent.
Few dairymen have ever tried to
find out whether or not their cows
are not quite thirsty after eating their
supper.

Our Loans To Other Nations

in war with Germany some
thing over three billion dol.
lars, taking for the sums ad.
vanced the obligations of
such nations, bearing the
same interest and maturing
at the same time as the Lib.
erty Loan Bonds.
The wisdom Of this policy
is beyond question. By
strengthening these nations
and making them as power
fnl and as effective as posi-
hle we are greatly aiding in
the shortening Of the strug-
gle; We are doing much to
insure an ultimate victory !;
we are doing only that which
it is our duty to do toward
our allies in this tremendous
war against an autocracy
which would debase and en-.
slave all nations and men.
The fact that if we did not
advance this money much Of
the work which the allies are
doing would have to b edone
with American money and
American men establishes
clearly the intelligence and
wisdom Of our policy.
There il work to be done
which requires the expendi-
ture Of blood and treasure.
In making these money adj
vances to Great Britain,
France, Italy, and other ma
tions we are lending money,
which will be returned to us.
Instead Of expanding sums
possibly as great, possibly
greater, with no hope Of re.
turn. III addition, we are
saving the lives Of American
soldiers.
No policy the American
Government has pursued is
