U. d. G. convention was the garden
party given by the Children of Dixie
after the auto ride rendered the del
egates by the chamber of commerce
on Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Roseman.
"The Dixies were conveyed ont to
the place of festivity in large wagons
and the hay ride to this beautiful
country home was not the least of all
enjoyments to the happy band of
children.
"Upon the arrival of the distinguish
ed guests, short program was rem
dered by the "Dixies", the spacious
porch being used as a stage.
"The opening number was the pre-
sentation of a beautiful offering of
flowers to the state president, Mrs.
Bannerman, by little Miss Lurlind
Roseman, who delivered a few re-
marks in a most charming manner
after which, as a surprise to their
sponsor, Miss Matte B. McGrath, she
presented her with dainty basket of
flowers.
"They were given in the name of
the 'Dlxles' and were appreciated
very highly by both so honored.
"The 'Dixies' then marched on the
stage to the tune of 'Dixie.' Miss
Barbara Frank then sang the song in
sweet voice, all joining in the chorus.
Miss Beverly Favrot, one of the tai
ented little members, recited "The
Two Soldiers" in a most beautiful
manner, after which little Miss Sylvia
Elgutter in an exquisite ballet cos
tum danced to the strains of "Nights
of Gladness." The little girl is grace
full and lovely and delighted the audi
ence with her charming grace.
"The 'Dixies' then returned to the
stage headed by little Miss Sybil Mas
dressed as Columbia who recited in an
attractive manner, "Our Flag"

HANGING OUT THE FLAG.

When you hang out the American
flag make patriotic ceremony Of it
by choosing a proper place and a
proper time for the display. Do not
hang out the flag as you would hang
clothes on line, without sentiment
and merely as part of the days work.
Do not hang out the flag and then
forget it. If you love the flag you
should treat it in way. to prove your
love.
The American flag ought not to be
hung out all Of the time, night and day,
sun and rain, until it becomes as
commonplace as the paint on the
house. The rule of the federal gov
eminent that the flag is to be dis
played only between sunrise and sun
set is a good and patriotic rule. To

LOYALTY THE FIRST DUTY, SAYS
CARDINAL GIBBONS.

In response to requests coming from
distinguished statesmen at Washing
ton and others, for an expression from
him on the national crisis, Cardinal
Gibbons said: I'm the present emer-
gency it behooves every American citi-
zen to do his duty, and to uphold the
hands of the President and the legis-
lative department in the solemn obi
cations that confront us.
THE primary duty of a citizen is
loyalty to country. This loyalty is
manifested more by acts than. by
words; by solemn service rather than
by empty defamation. It is exhibited
BY an absolute and reserved obedience
to his country's call.
Both houses of congress with the
executive are charged and sworn to
frame those laws that are demanded
by the present crisis. Whatever, there
fore, Congress may decide should be
unequivocally complied with by every
patriotic citizen. The members of
both houses of congress are the instru-
ments of God in guiding us in our
civic duties. It behooves all of us,
therefore, to pray that the Lord of
Hosts may inspire our national legis-
lature and executive to frame such
laws In the present crisis as will re-
dound to the glory of our country, to
righteousness Of conduct and to the
future permanent peace of the nations
of the world"
