FLAG Etiquette
HOW THE NATIONAL EMBLEM
SHOULD BE DISPLAYED.

There are many citizens who are
not familiar with the rules govern
ing the use of the stars and stripes.
To them the following hints on flag
etiquette will be of interest:
The flag should not be hoisted
before sunrise nor allowed to remain
up after sunset. 1t should not be
displayed upon stormy days.
When the flag is displayed at half
mast for mourning il is to be lowered
to that position from the top of the
staff. 1t is afterward hoisted to the
top before ii Ii lowered.
When the flag Is formally raised
all present should stand at attention,
with hand raised to the forehead
ready for the salute.
When our national flag and state
or other flags fly together or are
used in decoration together the ma
tional flag should be on the right.
When used on a bier or casket at
a funeral the stars are placed at the
head.
In no case should the flag be all
lowed to touch the ground.
1t il an unwritten law in the navy
that the flag Is never washed; it is
always TO be considered immaculate.
For indoor decorations the flag
can be used as a drapery; it cannot
be used to cover a bench or table,
desk or box where anything can be
placed or set upon the flag.-Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution
Magazine.

TRACTS MANY TO PARK-BUIL

Little Falls is now the proud possess
or of baby elk, born to the COW elk at
Pine Grove Park last Sunday morning.
The news of the arrival Of the young
elk spread rapidly and all day Sunday
people visited the park to see the little
fellow. From all appearances he is
healthy animal and his keeper, 7. 81.
Dewey, is confident that he will thrive
in the corrall.
After something like two years of
work the park board has finally secured
a permit from the state game warden
to capture a young bull moose for the
park. Val. E. Kasparek received tho
permit from Carlos Avery the first of
the week. The permit oives Joe Gro
wette Of Warroad permission to cap
ture young bull moose for the park.
It is hard to tell when the animal can
be secured, but it is hoped that one
can be captured this summer.

WILL turn HOTEL INTO CHAPEL
ANTLERS BUILDING PURCHASED
BY POLISH CATHOLICS FOR 4
HOUSE OF WORSHIP

The Antlers hotel building on the
West side, which has for number OF
Years stood vacant, will be converted
into a chapel in the near future, by
the Polish Catholics of this city. One
hundred and thirty families, most OF
whom live on the West side. have gone
together and purchased the hotel prop
erty.
For some time there has been agi-
tation among the Polish Catholics from
the West side for a new church, more
centrally located. The present church,
which Is located on Seventh street
southeast, is too far from the greater
percentage Of the church members,
they claim.
4 basket social will be given at the
MOTEL next Sunday for the purpose of
raisir~ funds for the remodeling and
redecorating Of the building. It is
planned to take out some partitions so
as to get large room for chapel. The
building will perhaps be ready for use
some time next month. FIR. Musial
will serve the congregation.
The deal for the purchase Of the
building has not yet been closed as
there are back taxes on it and the
building is practically being sold for
taxes. The county board has accepted
the sum offered against the building
but the state tax commission must also
give it's consent before the deal can be
closed.
1t is possible that later a new church
will be built and that the hotel build
ing viii be used for school purposes,
gymnasium. etc.

BELLE PRAIRIE first parish
RECORDS OF DIOCESE SHOW BAP.
TISMS THERE IN THE
YEAR 1880

St. Cloud Journal-Press (12): After
the most careful investigation on the
part of Rt. Rev. Bishop Busch and his
secretary, Raymond Shea, the honor
of the first Catholic parish in the St.
Cloud diocese has been credited to
Belle Prairie. There was some question
for time as to whether Belle Prairie
or St. James (Jacob Prairie) was en-
titled to be numbered as the first, but
records kept by the State Historical
society show that as far back as 1880
and 1S4O there were records of bap-
tisms kept at Belle Prairie. French
missionaries were the founders Of the
parish at that place.
The diocese records, under the man
agement Of Rt. Rev.B1shep Buseh,5con-
tain many interesting statistics. Sec
retary Shea can place his finger on a
record of every self-supporting Cath
Ollie in the diocese; tell whether he or
she is married or single, their activi-
ties in the parish, their Catholic social
affiliations and how many Catholic pa
pers they read. There are 10000 Cath
olics in the diocese and $4,000 self-sup-
porting. These $4,000 are all cata'
logued in the diocese records kept at
the institute.
The st. Cloud diocese includes sew
eral counties and contains 125 parishes
The history Of each parish since its
foundation has been carefully placed
on file. 1t was in connection with the
preparation of these files that the con
troversv as to what parish was num-
Der one arose.

Miss Jessie Burial of Washington,
D. c., in letter to her parents, Mr..

scribes the Memorial day exercises at
the nations capital. It began in the
morning with the launching Of a huge
wreath from the decks Of a steamer on
to the waters Of the Potomac, in mem
orv Of those who perished on the Lusi-
tania.
The chief exercises of the day cen
tered in President Wilson s address in
Arlington cemetery, in which large
number Of honorablv discharged SOL
diers and wives are buried. The ex-
ercises were held in the small Sylvan
Temple. President Wilson's speech
lasted only five or ten minutes. He
spoke particularly upon the signif-
cance of this years Memorial day.
Miss Burial also described Fort
Meyer and the military reservation, To-
Gated beyond Arlington cemetery. She
said that it seemed too bad, especially
at this time, to make our soldiers face
Arlington cemetery with its daily re-
minder of the fate that undoubtedly
hangs over many of them, and yet, she
added. it cannot fail to remind them
also of the reverence which America
feels for its heroic men, and the value
placed upon, giving the "last measure
of devotion'' to make the "world safe

Ettiion of the last named Aldermen
Brown, Moeg1ein, Blake and La
Fond voted yes and Hall, Farrow and
Peterson voted no. It was claimed by
the mayor that White violated the IL
quor laws and he rec commended that
no license be granted. Another allow
ed a license was also charged with vio-
lations Of the law. The application of
7. j. Monahan was not acted upon, the
widow of the applicant not yet having
decided as to what course to take in

A bill for $50 in favor of the Fran
ciscan convent for care of poor was al
lowed.
William Hang, night patrolman on

weeks vacation with pay. This has
been the custom for the past two or

Dave Lundberg of Pike Creek ap-
peared before the council and asked
for an appropriation for fixing the

burg. He asked that the council trans
fer 800 Of the amount appropriated
for the river road, to the Krousey road,
and give the town an additional $50
! for the latter road. The councilmen
| felt that the river road needs fixing
very badly and thev did not wish to
! take away anv Of the money appropri-
ated for it so thew voted $3.50 for the
Krousey road. The reason Mr.. Lund-
berg wanted the money transferred
was that the township is trife short
on funds for road work and therefore
wanted to do some work on both roads.
He assured the council that $100 would
be spent on the river road this sum-
mer and the remaining 500 next year.
| George Emder, chief of the fire de-
partment. was authorized to purchase
