FLAG ETIQUETTE


When Dewey's fleet returned to
New York after the Battle of Manila
Bay, a Swedish janitor in a large de-
partment store hoisted an American
flag with the Union down and flew
the signal of distress throughout the
celebration. A patriotic citizen should
make no such mistakes as this, but
in displaying flags or bunting should
observe certain customs, some of
which are as follows:
The proper time for raising or
putting out a flag is sunrise or after.
never before.
The flag should be lowered at sun
set.
A flag should never be allowed to
trail or he on the ground and should
always be taken in during stormy
weather.
When the flag is raised at cere-
monies, everyone present should
stand, face the flag and salute with
the right hand raised to the fore
head.
When the flag passes in parade,
spectators should stand, men and
boys with hats removed.
When any other flag is displayed
with our National colors, Old Glory
must Away be on the right or
above.
AS a sign of mourning the flag
should first be hoisted to the top of
the mast for a moment, then lowered
halfway and left half mast. At sun
set the flag should first be hoisted to
the top of the mast before lowering
to the ground.
The flag should never be used for
cover or in any position where
other objects are placed on it.
Flags should always be treated
with reverence and carefully put
away when not in use.
In draping the flag against the
side OF room or building, the blue
field should always be towards the
North or towards the East.
When the Star Spangled Ban
ner," recognized as our National
Athem, is played or sung, all should
rise and stand until the song is fin
ished. 1t is proper to face the mu-
sicians or those singing, during this
ceremony.
When red, white and blue bunt-
ing is used for decorating, the red
should be at the top.
1t is against the law to put any
printing or advertising of any kind
on the United States flag.

BUILDING GIANT FLY TRAPS
Schoolboys Make Device Which VIII
Catch Half a Million Disease
Spreaders In Season.

Fly traps that will catch 100000, or
80 quarts Of flies in a season will be
built this spring by some of the boys
In the Grand avenue manual train
ing center. Irving p. Lorentz, the in
structor, is making a model, and will
soon have some of the boys construct
ing the device as side line. ac-
cordIng to the Milwaukee Journal.
A square framework is made of mar
row strips of wood. and within the
frame is placed cone Of wire net
ting. In the model of Mr.. Lorentz an
ordinary glass jar is used In place Of
the wooden frame. A banana peel or
similar refuse is placed as a bait at
the bottom Of the trap. When the
trap is crowded with flies. they can be
killed by dipping the filed trap into
boiling water.
'The idea is excellent" Mr.. Lorentz
said. 1.-THE construction is simple. so
that seventh of eighth grade boys
should easily be able to make 1t. At
the same time 1t is inexpensive, tie
cost Of materials probably not exceed
ing so cents. If all the centers encOur-
aged the making of these traps it
would prove a most effective weapon
against the fly. Such trap would kill
off the flies before they even got into
the homes"

in advising you that on our farm five

600 bushels of wheat from 240 acres,

FARMING now
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need of
foodstuffs equal TO that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest In the ma
tion's history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are uneQualed in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to nature, en-
toying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling a duty to human
ity by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically In the United States and
\ Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for number
OF years. and IT appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
OF patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
eeption has been generally noticed as
TO Life on the Farm" II has been,
to large extent. considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
wrong impression has been created,
in measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given a supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line Of commerce. In no other busi-
ness does a system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and 1t is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking. needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting living
Off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
Of each branch of farming to get the
maximum Of profit, at the least ex-
pense. is fast being done away with.

In many places, that has reduced the

land In Western Canada for $1,000 in
December. 1915. and took his first crop
from it in 1915. After paying for the
land In full and the cost of cultivating
it and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at S1.55 a bushel "a low price
compared with the present market),
had a surplus of 81, 472.67. His figures

4 fisherman at Shekkersten lost

was so deep that he could not see 1t.
and II would have puzzled less in
ventiye mind than that Of our fisher
man to recover the AK. He tied fish
To 1GfOot line, fastened the other
end of the line to rock, tied rope
to the rock, and sunk the rock and the
fish TO the bottom of the sea through
the hole where the ak had dropped.
You bet it worked When an AK
drops into the water It's handle always
stands up straight, of course. When
the FISH got to the bottom he began TO
swim around TO get lose. But all thai
he accomplished was that he woSnd
his line around the ak handle. The
next morning the fisherman simply had
to pull in the rope and up came the
rock, the ak, and the fish.

NORWAY.

The following might apply to almost
any large American city this spring.
though il was written by close OBJ
server Of the conditions In Christiania
early ia the spring: "All vacant lots
and open spaces inside the city limits
are put under the pillow. We have 40
acres uf good soil on Thorshaug and
- acres at Frogner outside of the
regular park At the Ekeberg manor
we have 13 acres. and an equal area
at the Berg estate The entire Etter-
stad plain lies unused. And there are
many other parcels of ground. Two
thousand two hundred persons have re-
ported that they wish to raise pota-
toes-2.200 city families who sudden
ly become farmers in the city. Each
one of these spare-hour farmers is to
have 22j square yards of ground. The
poor people of the city will have $50
acres of good potato ground at their
disposal 1t Is figured out that they
will get about $50 bushels to the acre,
making the whole crop 2T,0O0 bushels.
This win be a good lift 10 the poor peO-
pie of our city. The moral proceeds
will be stiu more valuable The city
sees that the ground is plowed. The
