willy woman.
Alvin saw no other way than to con-
sent.
"See what little darling she is !"
cried Mary, bringing him a photo
graph.
"She's nothing but baby" he
sighed obviously.
"Oh, but that was taken quite a
while ago! She must be more than
three years DID," said Mary.
At first Alvin growled when his sleep
was disturbed, or he found his cane
sticky, but the weeks heightened into
months, and years, and there was no
longer any question Of letting the little
one go. They formally adopted Eva,
and gave her their name. When She
first began to talk, Alvin was for teach
Ing her to call him uncle, but Mary
said: "She remembers no father or
mother. Let her call us that. 1t is
nearer, more comforting to q child"
So Mary had her way, and both grew
to love her as their own. Mary had
great delight in the companionship Of
the child.
When the girl was eighteen the moth
er she loved as her very own passed
on to that unseen world, which for
aught we know lies quite as near to US
as the seen. Alvin Towne had always
been foolish man, and such natures
often feel the keenest shock, and sense
Of loneliness at the loss Of those they
love. In less than a year after the
death Of his wife he became totally
blind.
Eva now had a heavy task and re-
sponsibility to shoulder. Her father
fretted and chafed at any attention
from a hired attendant, and Eva, deep

began to come to the house, and en-.

A NEEDED LESSON

When our war with Spain closed
and we all saw that more men had
died from sickness in the training
camps, where the elementary duties
of soldiers were being taught, than
had died in battle or from wounds re-
ceived in battle, one would have
thought that the people, noting this,
would have said: "Let US give that
train and the needed reverence for
the flag to our boys and youths in the
schools, and make those sacrifices un-
necessary, if another war is ever
sprung upon u.s."
Had that been done, there would
now be quite ten millions of men, the

arms and with a full knowledge o.

The fly has no equal as a germ

million germs have been found in and
on the body of a single fly.
1t is definitely known that the fly
is the Carrier" of the germs OF ty-
phoid fever; it is widely believed that
it is also the "carrier" of other dis
eases, including possibly infantile par

had the outside world known we were
thus prepared, would some things that
have happened in the past two and a
half years been likely to happen?
Hardly.
Again, when the war came upon u.s.
there were not enough guns and am
munition in our coast defenses to
have maintained a battle with a fleet
at sea for a single hour. 1t is true
that when Cervera sailed from Spain,
the people in all our eastern s~ea-ooard
cities were in a half-panic over what
the Spanish commander might be able
to accomplish with his fleet. So great
was this apprehension that the govern
ment hastily fitted out what was called
"a flying squadron" placed it in COM
mand of Admiral Schley. and sent it
to sea to guard that coast.
One would have thought that after
that experience those seacoast de-
lenses would have been made as near
ly impregnable as possible and kept
supplied with all needed guns and am
munition.

THE ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG

THE ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG
Usage has given rise to a number
Of rules governing the manner in
which the flag shall be displayed.
These rules have become official
through their constant and strict OBJ
servance in the army and navy and on
federal authority and are equally bind
ing as points of etiquette upon civil
lians. The more important ire:
Flags shown out of doors should be
taken in at sunset and hoisted again
in the morning. They should never be
left flying at night. Not only has this
practice the advantage of being cor
rect, but it also results in keeping the
flag from becoming tattered and shah
by through continual exposure.
Flags shown out of doors should be
thrown to the breeze preferably from
a pole, and may be fastened to the
side of a building, platform or scat
folding.
When displayed from a building the
field of the flag (the grouping of
stars) should be away from the struc-
ture.
When the flag is used as a banner
across tn street the field should fly
to the north in streets running east
and west and to the east in streets
running north and south.
When it is desired to use the ma.
tional colors in clusters or draped eff
fectst he flag should not be used, but
some form of bunting.

MUST SPEED THE PLOW

The latest U. S. government crop
report emphasizes the urgent need of
the farmers bending all his energies
to the tremendously important task of
producing more food. The nation must
be fed and our allies across the seas
must not be allowed to go hungry.
The April condition of winter wheat
is sensationally bad. 1t is rated at
63.4 per cent. Last year at this time
it was 1873 per cent. In 1915, year Of
the bumper crop, it vas 1873 per cent.
And the 1O-year average was S6.2 per
cent.
If this condition should hold to har-
vest the United States will have a
winter wheat yield of only 430,000,0 900
bushels. Last years harvest was 481,-
$4,000 bushels, and in 1915 it was
G73 $4,000 bushels.
We are going into a world war with
an impaired agricultural outlook. At
a time when our European allies will
have greater bread needs than ever
before, it becomes the patriotic duty
Of the American farmer to speed up
his pillow, to put in cultivation every
possible acre, and to encourage his
boys and girls to plant and cultivate
garden plots.
M. Victor Boret, president Of the
agricultural committee of the French
chamber Of deputies, outlined in a
recent speech the bread needs OF
Franc and her allies. NJ. Boret states
that, according to the estimates Of
experts, the yield of wheat in France
for 1917 would amount to $50, 900 ,0G0
to 100000 900 bushels, whereas the
quantity required (allowance being
made for the invaded territory was
311 100000, leaving a deficit of be-
tween 127, 00C, GOO and 100000 900
bushels. The quantity of wheat from
abroad required by Frances allies and
neutrals was estimated at from $780,
600 900 to 57C,0CC,OOO bushels. The
surplus available from overseas coun-
tries would amount to from $50, 0O, OOO
to 10000, 900 bushels, leaving a def.
cit Of from 100 1000, 900 to 216,OOO, OO(
bushels.
The American farmer must put him
self to the task and duty of working
longer hours and extracting from his
soil it's utmost tribute.
The American navy must clear the
seas of hostile war craft and give ou1
commerce carriers a clear lane across

TURNS TO AGRICULTURE

Evidence that agricultural pursuits
in Montana are making rapid pro-
gress is seen from the fact that wool
production in that state is decreas-
ing. Reports state that only 10000
900 pounds of wool were grown in
1916, compared with an annual pro-
duction of about 100000, 900 pounds in
former years. This decrease is de-
claired due to the turning of Mon
tana's to growing grains and to other
agricultural and dairying pursuits.
