OLD GLORY SHOWS
WAY WIND BLOWS
CONGRESSMAN FRENCH WRITES
OF FLAG DEMONSTRATION
AT CAPITAL

Congressman Burton L. French, in
a letter in which he says he is ar
ranging to place bound volumes of
the Congressional Record in the Mos
COW High school and in a number of
the other important high schools of the
state, says of the outburst of patriotic
fervor in Washington
"You will be interested in knowing
that at this crisis the nations cap
ital manifests a degree of patriotism
am sure would be to the people of
Idaho if they could be here at this
time. For instance, in the display of
the American flag it is gratifying to
know how general is the admiration
for this emblem. 1 stood at the foot
of capitol hill, near the peace monu-
ment, this morning and counted the
flags that I could see in the first block
on one side of the street only, and [
counted 80 as 1 looked up Pennsylvania
avenue. Remember, these flags were
on one side of the street only and in
one block All over the city, in res
idence sections as we'll as business
sections, one sees this beautiful dis
play of flags. You see the flag dis
played on all kinds of vehicles. |
would say that at least every other
automobile you meet is decorated with
one to several flags. Drays, dirt wa
gons, ETC., display the flag, and even
the street vender, who pushes his cart
along and calls out "Ap-pulls," Ban
nan-nan," in his foreign dialect, has
his business establishment carrying
a flag on each corner. Nearly every
man you meet has flag of some kind
for his boutonniere, as in fact many
of the women as we'll. This display
of the flag, in my mind, is more than
an incident, it indicates a tremend-
Gus and deep seated love and respect
for our nation and it's institutions
when we are really asked to say wheth-
er we believe in our country or not

MAN OF 70 DIES
WHILE EN- ROUTE
TO POOR HOUSE
HENRY HOWARD, ALONE IN THE
WORLD, GOES TO HIS
REWARD

A pathetic case of indigency was
brought forcibly to the attention OF
the board of county commissioners
this week. 1t was emphasized by the
death in a Moscow hospital Tuesday
morning of H. Howard a man of over
70 years. He had no known relatives
but one son, T. H. Howard, and no
body seems to know where to find him
Mr.. Howard has been living among
the good people in the vicinity Of
Princeton for some years. Lately
his health has been failing due to ap-
poplexy. He was at the home of Fred
Johnson and petition was filed with
the commissioners to have him ad-
mitted to the county home.
Monday he was brought from the
Johnson home seven miles southeast
of Princeton to Moscow. The snow was
so deep that it was impossible to get
through with a team and the invalid
was carried TO two miles over the snow
on stretcher.
When he arrived in Moscow on his
way to the county home he was found
to be so weak that he was taken to a
hospital and there he died early in the
morning. The cause of his death is
given as appopleXy.
