 This is of vital importance not only to our own people but to the people of the nations with which about to make common against Ger many.
 We have been notorously lax in agricultural methods up to because have faced the necessity which confronts
 This necessity calls not only for ample food for our people but the largest possible surplus for ship ment to the Entente Allies.
 An increase of 10 cent. in the total crops o the United States this year. compared with a nal year, would millions of tons of food.
 Throw this food into the scales against Germany and might well be the deciding factor in the world 
 It seems thought it ought to be easy to accom- plish this when considers the extent of the untitled lands in section of the country and also that in few sections has intense cultivation been tematically carried out.
 The farmers of the nation have wonderful OppOr unity if they have the will to take advantage of it
 In lesser degree city dwellers and suburbanites have like opportunity
 In every city. suburb and village there is less unused land most of which would yield splendid crops of vegetables. Seattle has great deal of such vacant territory.
 It is amazing what results combination of cle, spade and hoe achieve in back lot in hour day during the planting and growing season

THE FLAG IN HISTORY

American Lutheran Survey)
 The resolution for the adoption of the Stars and Stripes the American emblem passed by the Continental Congress June IA, TIT. An American ship, the Columbia, carried the American flag around the world in 17S7,1790.
 The American flag first displayed in for eign port from the mast of the American schooner Bedford of Massachusetts which arrived the Brit sh Downs February 3, 17S3.
 The first American flag for the United States navy flung to the breeze by John Paul Jones' the first American naval officer to engage foreign foe This flag had but twelve it and it flew at the top mast of the good ship Ranger.
 France recognized this flag while it foated over the Ranger and this also constituted recogni tion of the young American government
 Every battleship of the United States navy is en titled to 25O American flags every three years, al though there are many renewals during that period The cost of the flags for each ship $3OOO which totals large sum for the entire navy The army equally many.

Luke McLuke Says

 If you know anything worth while, keep it to yourself The fellow who doesn't is always telling it. Any man can tell you that women do not know the value of money. But she can go down town with dollar and have department store wagons de- livering packages at her houss for a whole day
 Orange is the fashionable shade for women this Spring. And a whole lot of lemons will wear it.
 We want to congratulate the move ment for the City Beautiful and the movement against Unnecessary Noises. The women are wearing fewer barber pole stockings than formerly.
 A girl will feel sorry for a man long enough to marry him. Then she will spend the rest of her time feeling sor- ry for herself.
 Anyway. the girl who marries for money isn't going to be bit more dis appointed than the girl who marries for love.
 Instead of cussing when you have to walk upstairs to find a match. you should be thankful that you do not have to use flint and steel like your ancestors. *s~lAu1G
