u: S. PROPERTY
WITHOUT FLAG
Absence Of coIors on Reservation 10
Remarked by visitors-Seme
City Buildings Without
Banner, Also.

The absence OF flags from the Unit
ed States government reservation
here yesterday, was the subject Of
comment on the part OF some local
people as we'll as visitors who were
on the grounds and who
noticed the lack OF banners. There
was considerable speculation a. to
why in time of a crisis like this the
government reservation was not
showing the national bangor.
Flags blossomed out through the
city on many business houses yester-
day, and the flag at the armory was
run up shortly after notice to mobi-
lie had been received. Keokuk
schools are being supplied with flags
so that they may display banners.
The city hall and public. library. both
coming under the provisions of the
Iowa law for displaying the flag on
public buildings, should have a ban
ner flying.

LATE COLD WAVE
DAMAGES FRUIT
Canning Clubs Will Make
the Most of What Does
Ripen.

That fruits of all kinds will be scarce
this summer seems very probable in
view of the late spring and the pres
ent cold wave which Is sweeping the
Eastern States. The cold wave was
especially damaging because of the
dampness which attended it and II
seems doubtful If any but the hardi
est fruits can survive. Peach growers
have resigned themselves to q total
loss this season and apple raisers will
also probable suffer heavily.
An effort is being made by the Ex
tension department of the University
to educate the people of the state in
tn care, conservation and preservation
of fruits in the hope that the short
age of fruit may be relieved some
