is certain that whatever confidence
the government may have in an in

it is taking nothing for granted.
The department of agriculture to-
day ISSUED a forecast that 366,116,O0O
bushels of winter wheat would be har-
vested this year The 1916 yield was
4S1,744,0 900 bushels.
About 300 officers of the engineers
corps will be selected to accompany
the nine regiments of engineers, whose
going to France was announced yes
terday. The only drafts from the reg
lar army to accompany this expedition,
the first to carry the flag abroad
will be a colonel and adjutant of the
engineers corps to head each regi-
ment. 1t is understood that reserve
officers will be selected to give the
men the basis of military instruction
so that it will be unnecessary to call
upon the regular establishment for
training.
The war department anticipates that
the railway brotherhoods will aid in
the work of getting trained railroad
men and that this force will rebuild
the worn out French railroads and
create new means of communications
behind the battle lines.

Mayor E. M. Sweeley as a committee

to negotiate for a fountain for the
Main and Shoshone street intersection;
voted to turn the surplus of $573 from
the street fund, $649 from the sewer
fund and $2925 from the waterworks
fund into the city treasury and to pay
the balance of $6S2 due for eleven
months rent on the library building;
paid a few small bills and listened to
brief swan song from the retiring

successors might anticipate running
into, including the difficulty of get

RULES FOR HANGING
THE NATIONAL FLAG
Omitted Press)

WASHINGTON, May S.-For the
guidance of puzzled patriots, the war
department has prescribed this simple
formula for hanging the American
flag-As it should be hung:
Whenever possible hang the flag
from staff, and not against the wall
use bunting for the wall
IT, however, a flag is hung against a
wall, the field of stars should be al
ways to the nOrth-On a north and
south street, and to the east on an east
and west street
Never hang it horizontally, if pos
sible to hang it otherwise, but if hung
horizontally, the end containing the
stars should be at the north or east.
Army regulators call for the flag to
fly from sunrise to sunset, but it is
optional with the individual whether Il
shall fly at night.

Few people fully realize how abrupt
and radical is the change from the en-
vironment of home and all its allied
interests and associations to the army,
with absolutely no restraint save that
of obedience to military duty. How
the boy recruit in one moment swept
away from the influence of parents,
pastor, teachers and associates, and
lonesome and homesick at that, is left
almost without defense against the
temptations incident to camp life! The
cohorts of evil, however, known all
about it and are always ready on the
spot with all the snares that most ap-
peal to youth and inexperience.
Fortunately, through long expert
ence in army work. that beneficent
organization known as the Young
Mems Christian Association, is also
alert to the soon coming situation,
when a million of our young men and
BOYS are to be collected in great
training camps, and is making its

NEW YORK, May S-If you must

Stacker ring" is the advice of mem
bers of the American Chemical So
ciety.
The "slacker ring" is the platinum
ring. If your sweetheart demands a
diamond ring, see to it that even the
prongs bear no platinum and above
all, beware of the platinum wedding
ring.
Platinum is a necessary metal in
many Industries closely connected
with the war. It is now five times
more valuable than gold. Allen Rog-
ers, speaking for the American Chem
ical Society declared today it is
shameful that personal vanity should
prove such handicap to the govern
ment, and that a mere frivolous fad
should deprive chemists and manu-
faeturers Of the proper materials to
meet the demands placed upon them"
