Makes Flag Out of Metal

Because flags of silk or bunting, no matter how
good the material, will eventually become faded and
torn in spite of the best care, resident of Boone,

very satisfactory substitute. 1t is not angular and
inartistc as might be supposed, for the hollow tub

which it is made are combined so skilluly that at
distance it looks exactly like cloth flag unfurled by
a moderate breeze The wire cloth is used in such
a way that it allows the wind to pass through it,
thereby reducing the wind pressure In spite of the
material used, it is comparatively light. An Amer
lean flag of this flies from the top of tall bank
building in Boone and it has been found to possess

be taken down but once in twoNor three years to

The Pathfinder

The habit of finding fault. one with another, is
by no means a newly acquired one. Although 1t has
reached perfection with us, it is not of our invention
we make too much Of faults The strenuous
business of finding them often obscures real merit
and virtue If we but used the energy in seek
ing merit as we do in seeking fault world OF peace
and happiness would quickly develop for man. The
two qualities-fault and meri-are blood relations;
one could not exist without the other.
The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none.
We sheer one at another and at what we do
not like; at the rulers of the nation; at the books
we read, from the detective story to the bible; but
we never sheer at ourselves? If we do, it is only
in shallow, insincere manner. 1t Is always the
other fellow who is really bad.
Why not scanning this great universe Tor
mole-hillsa Why not grasp the mountain?
Take some grains of corn and plant them In
good old mother earth. The might be mixed
with the rubbish and chaH of the barn floor-the
earth absorbs them ALL but grows the corn only. It.
is probable she turns the rubbish to good pur-
pose but it is certain that she makes complaint
about All nature is thus Truth and error walk hand
in hand, but nature takes heed only of the former
Truth is prepagated; error dies.
What we call pure or impure is not question
with nature. Not how much error but how much
truth is in it is what concerns her mostly. The
same should be true of man-truth not error ought
to be his quest
Life is at best but succession of 1t
cannot be otherwise The deeper one is sunk in sin
the greater and determined should be his effort
to overcome his faults. Faults should concern no
one but their possessors and then only to the extent
that they may be corrected. The many sad short
comings and errors that lie between the milestones
of life are but like the thorns of the rose bush-un-

Race

Have you yellow dog tearing along

ant only in his flying feet? The only object of his
life seems be the impossible task of beating that
monster locomotive And have you ever watched
him in the midst of his career bump up against a

Many man runs just as useless race Always

Ability may shine and then, but thorough
