HOW TO FLY THE FLAG.

Many patriotic citizens of Pleasant
vile are 10 daily flying the Ameri-
can flag from their places of bust
ness and residences. In order that
our people may more generally know
the rules for flying the stars and
stripes, they are here presented:
The proper time for raising the
flag is sunrise or after, never before.
The flag must be lowered at sunset.
In draping the flag against the side
of a room or building the proper posi-
ton for the blue field is toward the
north or toward the east.
1t is a mark of disrespect to allow
the flag to fly throughout the night.

COGNOVIT JUDGMENT
TAKEN BY MILL co.
Several Accounts Are Filed;
News Items From The
Court House

A compilation of the returns from
six townships of the county showed
Wednesday that there would be an
increase of 100000 in the tax dupli-
cate, but it remained for Pleasant
township to turn in the most start
ling, even sensational, advance in
listing of property.
Auditor Riley announced Thursday
that the returns from this township
show that there will be an increase
of $4,000 over the duplicate of 1916.
This would indicate more strongly
than the report from the six town
ships published Wednesday that the
new non-partisan tax law is more
than a success, as far as swelling the
duplicate is concerned.
