He has been close and observing

FLAG POLE UP.
village VIII Observe Etiquette Of
Flag ON All Occasions.

The work Of erecting the village
flag pole Is about completed. The
concrete base IS in aud the pole Is
being put in place 80 that President
Edwards hopes to have Old Glory
flying to the breeze by next Tuesday
at the latest. when the village can
compete with its nelghbor, the Por-
ter school in displaying the nag.
Unlike its neighbor however the
village intends 10 adhere strictly 10
the rules governing the display OF
old Glory. Instead Of letting the ma
tional emblem wave In the breeze
both day and night the village flag
will be raised and lowered at the ETH
uuette of the flag DEGREES.
In this connection II may not be
amiss to say that there is a code
governing the display Of the national
emblem, some OF the rules being as
follows
In order to show proper respect
for the flag it should not be hoisted
before sunrise nor lowered before
sunset
At Retreat sunset, civilian spec
tators should stand at attention and
uncover.
When the national coIors are pass
ing on parade. or in revisv, the spec
tator should, IL walking halt, and II
sitting, should arise and stand at at
tention and uncover.
DR. Edwards, our village president
is particular in having the national
colors shown the respect due them
and will see that the village observes
all OF the rules OF the flag.

BLOCKADE OF BRITAIN
CALLED NEAR-INPOSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. "Germany's
plan to blockade the British Isles seems a g
near a proposal to accomplish the impossi-
BILE as anything to which any nation hither-
to has committed ITSELF" says a statement
by the National Geographic Society issued
today.
The statement, in pointing out the magni-
tude of the task that Germany has under
taken, says:
She will have to guard a deadline of
1900 nautical miles. measured from head
land TO headland twenty miles off shore
have ll9 ports large and small TO seal ,,p
eighty of which, even at low tide, are omen
TO vessels that can navigate fourteen feet
of water and have larger number of bays
and other navigable indentations to watch
than are to be found anywhere else in the
world IN the same length of straightway
shore lines.
Even If the Germans have 500 subma-
rlnes constructed for the purpose of this
blockade, as is claimed the total makes an
average of only about four submarines
available for blockading each port"

from 81 to cents on the eggs and butter
exchange, Chicago wholesalers made the
announcement that canned goods the COM
Ing year would be 33 Ia per cent higher
than In 1916. The Florida frosts, which

The increased price of tin and the in
ability OF canneries to obtain containers
with the insistent demand of farmers and

MEXICAN BANDITS RAID
RANCH ON AMERICAN SOIL
Report of Kidnapping of Three Cat
tlemen, Including Former
Scout for Pershing

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb 14-Urgent re-
quest that American troops be sent into
Mexico to pursue the bandits who carried
off three Mormons was made to the army
authorities today by A. p. Peterson, whose
son. Andrew, is reported to be one of the
captves.
The military authorities here are trying
to learn the fate of the three men kid
mapped in the raid on the corner ranch"
near Hachita. N. NJ. One report said that
three Mormons we're killed and that Peter
son was carried off. Other advices re-
ceived by cattlemen said three men were
carried away, but mentioned no killings
The bandits are reported to have been
led by Prudence Miranda, who formerly
fought with Villa. They crossed the bor-
der and surprised Peterson and other Nor
mon cowboys who were rounding up cat
tie.
Confidential advices say the raid was
the result OF a cattleman's war and trouble
between alleged rival bands of smugglers
The captured Mormons are said to be
citizens of Mexico, though they were on
American soil when kidnapped. Peter
son was recently scout with the PERISH
Ing expedition.
. Later reports from Hachta said that
seven Mexicans also were kidnapped by the
bandits.
villista agents here disclaimed respon-
slbilty for the raid. They declared Mi
randa has been repudiated by Villa.
