A large number of flags viii
now be continuously displayed,
as a symbol of patriotism, and it
is important that no disrespect
shall be ignOrantly shown Old
Glory. The following are the
common rules of the flag.
1t should not be raised before
sunrise and should be lowered at
sunset. 1t is a mark Of disre-
spect to permit it to fly through
out the night.
1t should be raised to the full
peak unless it is displayed at
half staff as sign of mourning.
1t should not be permitted to
drag on the ground or be stood
or walked or sat upon.
In flying, the field should never
be down, except as sign of
distress and call for help.
1t is customary to take in
large flags and regular stan
dards in stormy weather and
use in their place small storm
flags.
The flag should not be permit
ted to fly where it will strike
against any object except its
own pole, and if it becomes en-
tangled with its pole it should
be freed.
1t should not be used for any
purpose except for patriotic dis
play. 1t should never be used as
a covering for anything else, ex-
cept a coffin, an altar, etc. 1t
should never be used as a table
cloth on which things are served
or any like use. No utilitarian
purpose whatever should be
served by it.
In decoration on walls, etc.,
the blue field should be the top
and to the north or east.
Saluting the flag should be
done whenever it is carried past
in formal procession, or in pass
ing an official flag in a military
camp or post. 1t may be done at
any other time the inclination
prompts.
In using bunting as decora-
ton, the red color should come
first, at the top when horizon
tai and at the left when perpen-
dicular.
The spirit of the whole matter
! is, that the flag is the symbol of
! a great nation, and to display it
| is to give expression of loyalty.
J Citizens should display it for no
: other purpose. Citizens of other
: countries may display it as a
= token Of respect.

Special to Times Republican
Dubuque, May Crop conditions
in northeastern Iowa are, according to
farmers and others in several counties,
better than they have been in u num-
Der Of years. tho probably not quite SO
far advanced as In some other years,
due wholly to the prevalence Of cool
weather up to the present time. Until
q week ago there was complaint about
the lack Of moisture. tho nothing was
suffering for lack OF It, Since then.
however, there has been fine rain and
the ground is well soaked.
Nearly all of the small grain is In
the ground and In some instances Is
fine and In some instances stock is able
to get considerable feed.
Some blowing has been done for
corn but the great bulk of it remains
to be done. Farmers have been ex-
ceptionally careful In the selection OF
their seed, SO are expecting no trouble
from that source.
Considerable meadow and pasture
land has been broken up and will be
planted either to corn or potatoes. 1t
is estimated the potato acreage in
northwestern Wisconsin will be nearly
doubled this year.
Fruit growers say there Is prospect
of fine crops Of all kinds Of fruit grown
in this section Of the country.
Hog growers report large litters OF
pigs which are doing quite well re-

IA CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare Z quarter pint at about
the cost Of . small Jar Of
common cold cream.

When this home made lemon lotion
- gently niassaged into the face, neck,
hands and arms daily, the skin natur-
ally should become soft, clear and
white. and the complexion dainty and
attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to reach the skin and to
briHe out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone Is acid, therefore Irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the Juice Of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
OF orchard white, then shake well ana
yeu have whole quarter pint of skin
end complexion lotion at about the
Z cost one usually pays for a small jan
q ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon Juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months
When applied to the face, neck arms
and hands It naturally should helpNto
wliiten, clear, smoother and beautify.
Any druggist will supply three ounces
OF orchard white at very little cost and
the grocer has the lemons. In this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion ladies
can. easily prepare and have an mex
pensive toilet aid which perfectly sat
isles their natural desire for beauti-
full soft skin.

Superintendent Of The Tobey Furni-

Owners of fine mahogany furniture
and woodwork will be interested in
the following statement by Mr.. VIM.
E. Schubert, one of the country's best
known experts on the subject of fine
woods and finishes:
with simple care, the beautiful
surfaces of mahogany furniture and
woodwork may be maintained almost
indefinitely. Two things are neces-
sary-frequent and thorough cleans
ing, and the application of correct
conditioning oils.
"Tobey Polish, made from our old
secret shop formula, accomplishes all
this in one easy, simple operation. It
takes off the dirt and grease, quickly
and without hard rubbing; removes
surface stains and foggy appearance;
obscures small scratches, and nour-
ishes and maintains the fnish-pre-
serves its body and rich color. It
wipes off dry and does not collect the
dust.
1--WE strongly advise against wash
ing fine furniture and woodwork.
Some finishes will stand washing, but
so many will not that it Is best not
to wash any of them"
Tobey Polish is now offered for
sale in the general market, and NAV
be obtained from your nearby dealer.

concerning the seriousness of his Of

but the case was of such character
that it had to be held until the fed
eral authorities arrive. If Hunt is
guilty Of the offense as charged it
would be classed as treason.
Hunt so witnesses say, was in the
south Centerville billiard hall when
Clarence Parcel, new recruit in the
national guard, entered wearing his
Hunt, upon seeing the boy,
made this remark, 80 witnesses say, II
wish every one OF those tin horn SOL
diers would be taken to the front and

saying as a joke, while sally" Hal
den went to the telephone and called
the sheriff. A few minutes later Hunt
was under arrest.

Hunt Immediately attacked
Halden and the two were separated
by the sheriff. 1t is reported that the
two men have not been friends and the
fact that, one had "squealed" on the
other brought on the attack by Hunt.
When bIousilt into court Hunt de-
MED that he had struck Halden, while
the sheriff swore that he did make the
attack and hit Halden at least twice.
& Hunt does not deny making some
statement similar to that charged al
tho he swears that it was only In
joking names that such was made.
He contends that young Parcel is a
friend of his and that when he entered
the billiard room he thought it only a
Joke to kid" him concerning his cos
tune. It is alleged that this is not
the first time that Hunt has been heard
to make sighting remarks concerning
the soldier boys.
II the federal authorities drop the
