Display your fag!" is the i'm
pulse of the day. Display your
flag properly" ought to be the
injunction, for it detracts greatly
from the display to have Old Glory
flung to the breeze improperly.
The flag should not be hoisted
before sunrise nor be allowed up
after sunset. In the navy the
colors are hoisted, in ordinary cir
cumstances, at 8 a, m.
At morning and evening colors"
at forts and military posts civilian
spectators should stand at atten-
ton and uncover during the play
ing of The Star Spangled Banner"
The flag should never be allowed
to touch the ground and should
never be raised or lowered by any
mechanical appliance.
When the national and state or
other flags are flown together the
national flag should be on the right
side of the building or lawn
When the flag is used as ban
ner, that is, suspended on a rope
across a street, the union. or field,
should fly to the north in streets
running east and west and to the
east in streets running north and
south.
The flag should always be flown
from a staff or a mast and should
not be fastened to the side of a
building, platform or scaffolding.
In no circumstances should the
flag be s'draped around pillars, or
against walls or balustrades. Flags
were made originally for the pur-
pose of being flown and to use
them in any other manner is to
misuse them. If staple decora-
tions are desired, red, white and
blue bunting properly draped will
give better effect than draped
flag.
The flag should never be used

or box. or where anything can be
placed upon it
When flags ate used in an un--

ried aloft 10 wave out, forming
distinctive feature during the re
mainder of the ceremony.
When the flag is flown at half
staff as a sign of mourning it should
be hoisted to full staff at the end
of the funeral.
To fly flag at half staff it must
first be raised to full staff and then
lowered.
On Memorial day the flag should
fly at half staff from sun rise TO
noon and full staff from noon to
sunset.
The following are the days when
the flag should be displayed:
Lincoln's Birthday, February ~,
Washington's Birthday, Febru-
airy az.
Inauguration Day (every four

A BOOM IN FARM BUILDING

"War Profits" Going Into Rural I'm
provements the Country Over.
If the future fulflls the promises of
the present, some rural districts of this
country will be transformed in appear
ance within the next year or two.
That transformation will come about
through the building of bigger and
better farm homes, bigger and better
barns, and tremendous increase in the
numbers of bins, cribs, implement
sheds, garages, hog houses, poultry
houses aud all the various other forms
of outbuildings necessary to the business
of modern farming. The farmer, on the
top wave of prosperity, is going to put
his "war profits" into improvements on
''the place." and those improvements
will include whatever comforts and con-
veniences he may have lacked in leaner
years.
Those who make a business of
watching the trend of industrial &C.
tivity say that while unprecedented
prosperity is the principal reason for
the widespread activity in rural build
ing, that is not the only reason. They
say the American farmer-and his wife
and children as WELLS just awaken
ing to the realization that he need not
deny himself the comforts and luxur-
les of city homes just because he lives
on the farm, and now that he has the
money coming in, he is going to enjoy
those advantages. Furthermore, the
farmer is finding out that his buying
power, or the buying power of the
commodities he produces on the farm,
is, in the purchase Of many desirable
things, just about twice what it was
few years ago. He finds that especially
true when he goes to buy building
materials, and that is why he is pre-
pairing all over the country to equip his
farm with modern structures, includ-
ing the home. A load of corn or
wheat, or bale of cotton, or a fat
steer or hog. will buy twice as much
lumber as it would even four years ago,
which naturally suggests that this is a
fine time to trade farm products for
building material. Since the European
war began the price of lumber has ad-
vanced only about % per cent, the
statisticians say, while the prices of

ninety six other important com
modities, including farm products,
have made an average advance of 1877
per cent. Why lumber prices have not
scared along with the prices of most
everything else is something of a
mystery, but the fact remains they have
not. And that is why the farmer is
getting out his hammer and saw pre-
paratory to fixing up before lumber
prices take to scooting upward.

nesday when he traded a lot in
the block in which the Masonic
Temple is located in part pay
ment for one on Main street west
of Hailey's hardware store and
adjoining the one owned by C. S.
Flint. Mr.. Steele is planning on
putting up a brick building on
his newly acquired lot some time
during the coming summer.
Speaking of building opera
tions he said that the coming
summer promised to be a busy
one in that line. He has already
taken two contracts to build resi-
dences and will start work as
soon as the weather conditions
will permit.

a WORD IN REGARD TO
THE TERRY INCIDENT

.Dr. Terry called at our Office
Wednesday afternoon and wished
us TO publish his reply to our ar
ticle in regard to his paciiist
speech. We refused to be drawn
into any controversy with him
over the matter and informed him
that in our opinion there is no
ground for argument; that there
are only two sides to the question;
at this time a man is for the
United States or against them.
For that reason we refused to
give the article space.
Never in the four years since
The Record has been published
have we received so much COM
mendation for an article. After
our paper came out we were
kept busy answering phone calls
and receiving commendation and
congratulations for the article,
Many prominent citizens called
personally to commend it and in
only one instance did we receive
censure.
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1917-04-06

For that reason the lumbermen
and forestry service will see to it
that Old Glory flies from the flag
stan of their headquarters
throughout the north Idaho dis
trict.
In this connection it may be
we'll to call attention TO the man
ner in which the flag should be
displayed. The flag should not
be displayed on stormy days or
left out over night. To leave
the flag out in storms or over
night is not patriotic and is a vio-
lation of the rules which i'm some
countries would be summarily
punished.
'The time for flying the flag is
between sunrise and sunset, and
in all military camps and on u,
S. ships the flag is run up at
morning and lowered in the even
ing, that being a part of the reg
ular routine of the army and
navy. With those bodies of de-
tenders the flag is held so sacred
it. is never permitted to touch
the ground in being raised OF
lowered. Another technical vio-
lation which is not generally
known is that patching a flag is
a desecratiOn which is never Dpr-
lmitted in the army or navy. Wher
the flag becomes so torn as to be-
not ft for use a new one is req
uisitioned.

COLD STORAGE PLANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Thursday afternoon a fire at
the St. Maries Cold Storage Co.
plant did between four and five
thousand dollars damage and
nearly destroyed the plant. The
fire started between one and two
O'Clock and before it was extin-
guished the entire plant was in
ruins. It is supposed to have
had its origin in stove in the Of
fee.
The firemen were quick to re-
spond to the alarm but the near
est hydrant is nearly a quarter of
a mile from the building and by
the time sufficient hose had been
obtained to reach this distance
the fire had gained such headway
there was no hope of saving the
plant. A boat house and num-
Der Of boats were in the st. Maries
river within a short distance and
the most that could be done was
to prevent the fire from reaching
them
While the fire in the artificial
ice plant was at its height the
ammonia tank blew up The
force of the explosion hurled por-
tions of the machinery through
the walls and the air was filled
with the fumes which were so
strong that some of the flremen
were nealy overcome while others
had very narrow escapes from
the flying debris.
The water pressure was excel
