| The spring saw many of our citizens,
and thousands of townspeople through
out the state, taekhng the gardening
game for the first time. Women and
girls as well as men and boys were out
with saovels, spades, forks, any old
! thing, turning over mother earth, even
sod, ash piles, etc. Those having large
lots had someone pillow and drag them
and their first duty was the laying out,
setting the string and planting.
1t was hard for the spading brigade,
but easy for the other class. Gradually
the planting was accomplished and the
smoothing over by rake done. leaving
an effect that was highly pleasing to
the amateurs who wondered why they
hadn't gardened before, since it wasn't
much Of a trick and the promise of re-
turn in homegrown vegetables so great.
But now it's different. These are the
melancholy days the period of the acid
test-for the pesky weeds have taken
advantage of the cleared patches and
have been demonstrating what tenacity
of life actually means in the vegetable
kingdom Il if weeds may be classed as
vegetables.
Buck up, we would-be heroes of the
soil Stay by the job realize the hoe
is an intermediate weapon to the com
pletion Of right. and remember the
other fellow in the trenches. Conquer
the weeds and become producer.

MY FLAG.

On the desk in The Tribune ssnctum
rests card sent by the Keystone Type
Foundry of Philadelphia. The object
of the card is to display the attractive
ness of new type, but while we readi-
ly concede the type is very pretty de-
sign. we beg to make the claim that
the words employed, sentiment on
My Flag, to be the more beautiful
and impressive, particularly at this
time. Here it is. Read it and let every
word soak in:
Something is happening TO our flag
in these days something good. 1t is
making new friends and making over
old ones; it is being taken out of his
tories it is being untacked from dec
orations it is being removed from adj
vertising it is getting nearer its right
ful home in the hearts of the people
for flag in the heart is worth two on
pole.
1--WE have our minds following the
flag given by Betsy Ross to George
Washington to lead and cheer the men
of '76 as they blazed the trail of human
liberty; we have seen the flag carried
by those quiet men who risked all in
order that it might wave over an UNI
broken union; and as they pass by we
have heard the voice of Lincoln calling
upon us to see that government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie shall not perish from the earth, and
this, perchance, has raised the personal
question in each mind, is there any
thing | should do?'
eve have also seen the flag surround
ed by the boys Of today who have sworn
to defend it and who have left their
regular pursuits in order to do so; and
we have seen their brave home folks on
whose faces was written the fact that
the price Of patriotism is not paid by
one alone, and again has arisen the
personal question, Is there anything
that should do?
eve have seen all this; we know that
this flag is the sign Of the best govern
ment that time has produced, the sum
of all the victories that liberty has won,
the hope of the whole race on its march
to better things; but what does it mean
to me personally to me?
You are all alone now not in mass
meeting assembled. Forget everyone
else, and forget what you think some
one else ought to do. Consider only the
question. What shall | do 2 Speak
aloud the words Our Flag, and My
Flag, and notice the difference. Do
you really love this flag Will you call
it My FlagY Will you adopt it? VIII
you sign your name in black and white
in token that you will give it more
thought, more honor, more devotion ?
II so, then find way to prove up, for
flag in the heart is worth two on a
pole. =
