CEREMONIES
CONTINUED from first page)
CONTINUED from first page)

For years have been our stay,
And shall we falter at this step,
Or onward push our way?
May He who needs the sparrow's fall,
Who rules the sea and land,
But hear our prayer, our feeble call,
And give US strength to stand.
Then lift Old Glory up on high
And nail it to the mast:
There let her wave beneath the sky,
While time itself shall last.
AS Mr.. Pratt concluded the bend
struck up "The Star Spangled Banner
the flag was unfurled and slowly
raised to the top Of the pole by s. NJ.
Henderson and A. C. Hart, as repre-
sentatives Of the local post G. A. R.,
while every man, woman and child in
the big audience stood at attention and
sang the national anthem.
eve have raised the fairest flag
the sun shines upon," said Rev. K. s.
Tontz, in beginning his short talk. In
the few minutes allotted to him the
speaker delivered masterful address
on this higher patriotism, and was
frequently interrupted by applause.
He said that all flags Of themselves
were much alike They are just so
much cloth and they are unlike only
in design and arrangement, but the
flag as q country's emblem, was great
or small just as the people Of that
country are great or small. "A flag
is what the people make it," said he.
"Back of the flag we have raised to-
day there are some Of the finest ira
ditions the world has ever known. It
stands for liberty, for freedom, for
right and for justice. It was not
waited to US on the soft beds Of peace
but came to US thru the hardships of
war and in it are woven the principles
upon which our great republic is found
ed" He said the men of 1776 and
1861 had brought it unsullied thru the
great national crises Of those days
and it had now become the duty Of
the men of today to bring it still un-
sullied thru this great crisis.
M. M. Moulton won the applause of
the big crowd when he declared that
he believed it was our duty to carry
our flag to the battlefelds Of Europe
and to plant it alongside the Union
Jack and the Tri-C Color in the name Of
democracy as opposed to autocracy.
He said we must come to view the bat
tlefields Of Europe as our battlefelds.
The great truths expressed by Lin
coin in his famous address on the bat
tlefield Of Gettysburg, he said were
as applicable to the world today as
they were to the nation then. He said
the same great principles Tor which
the North was fighting then, the Allies
are fighting for today-fighting to de-
termine whether any nation founded
upon the principle that all men are
created equal can endure or must per-
ish.
The ceremonies were brought to a
close by the audience giving three
rousing cheers for the Stars and
Stripes, the cheering being led by
Mayor Sherk.

BE- PREPARED

CONTINUED from first page)

high wheat prices and wheat shortage
we may have to use much potato flour
in our bread. A potato shortage in
the east would, Of course, take any
surplus that we could produce, but II
the east comes up with q full crop,
the man in this country who has gam
bled by betting unreasonably on the
potato market will be very sorry. We
do not make such extensive use Of po-
tatoes as many other people. We are
told that Germany, with its limited
area, has been producing an average
crop of nearly fifteen million tons Of
potatoes a year, while this country
only grows about one-fifth Of that
amount. A safe rule is to grow all
you will need and some for sale. How
much for sale depends on how much
Of gamble you are willing to take
on the market.
Last year the state Of Washington
loaded nearly 1000 cars approximate
ly $1,000 tons) Of potatoes for ship
ment to points inside and outside the
state. Over half of this output was
from Yakima county, which had 5000
acres in potatoes. This year 5000
acres, will go into sugar beets in that
county, much Of it being potato ground
and probably not over. forty-fiv hum
dred acres will be in potatoes in that
county this year while in the four
counties of Walla Walla, Garfield, Co
lumbia and Asotin, about 400 acres
were planted last year and over 1000
acres will be planted this year.
The Canadian provinces are not urg-
ing increased acreage Of potatoes, but
are urging to the utmost limit the
production of wheat, corn, beans and
pork.
The wars of the past have been
fought on diet Of pork and beans.
If your soil and climate are adapted
to growing beans, you have every rea-
son to plant all you can handle. There |
is no crop now more in demand. Ways
will be found to transport them to the
armies even tho the spuds have been
evaporated or fed to the pigs.
Every citizen, every family, every
seed dealer, having peas or beans that
can be used for seed will help the
cause Of food production by notifying
the local or county food products COM
mittee or the county agent in counties
which have them. Such committees
will notify this Office Of any surplus.
Beans now on hand should be used for
seed and not for food at this time.
Plant every foot Of land you elm
because in so doing you will be MAX
ing money for yourself and serving the
country. Plant the crops that You do
not have 20 seel in hurry.

loads were sent to Camp Devons, tho

boat loads were sent to the navy-yard

The United Fruit Company asked
that the fruit be condemned and
dumped in the harbor. City officials
refused to do this. anc Mayor Curley
sent a telegram to Herbert c. Hoover
I'm which he charged the company with
attempting to destroy tho fruit to
maintain high prices.
AS Il result of the city's refusal to
condemn the bananas the company dc.
cided to give them away.
In a telegram to Mr.. Hoover tonight
officials Of the United Fruit Company
cmphatically denied that they sought
to destroy the fruit in order to keen
up the price. The company lost about
$4,000 on the cargo. the officials said.
and would spend Lrobably $4,000 more
in distributing it.
