MISSOURPS FLAG

How many persons realize that this
state has a flag? And how many per
sons who know that the state has a
flag dould describe it? The reason
for this is because the state flag is a
comparatively recent adjunct to our
commonwealth.
The state flag was created by the
legislature of 1913 as the result of the
work of the Missouri Daughters of
the Revolution, who have always been
among the first to realize that the
state and the nation should keep alive
those memories and traditions which
have centered around their develop
ment.
The flag consists of three horizontal
bars of equal width of the national
colors, red, white and blue. The state
seal is in the center, surrounded by
band of blue containing twenty-fOur
stars, Missouri having been the twen-
ty-fourth state admitted to the Union
The ID. A. r. is now distributing in
this state a neat pamphlet describing
the Missouri flag and the laws of Mis-
souri, regarding the American flag.
To the many persons who were igno
rant of the fact that this state had a
flag and that there were rules regard
ing the respect to the American flag
this little piece of literature is help
full, especially in these war times,
when so much is said about Old Glory |
and the men who are fighting for it.

DO APPEARANCES COUNT!

Could a policeman dressed in over
alls. wearing a straw hat and carry
ing a cross-cut saw control traffic al
a busy street in a city? He might if
everyone knew him.
Would rare. old Amontillado wine
from Spain have the same charm if
served from an old tin bucket? 1t
might if all consumers had seen it be-
fore it was put in the bucket.
Would a movie villain without a
silk sat. little mustache, cigarette
and sardonic grin please the
crowds? He might if he was we'll
enough known.
We judge others, especially strang-
ers, by appearances; likewise We are
judged Good appearances may be
questioned but bad ones never We
may have some doubt as to standing
of a well-dressed stranger but the
makeup of the umbrella mender
leaves no doubt.
No one thinks more of a man than
he thinks of himself. We should
think enough of ourselves to keep our
appearances at such level that even
though a stranger discounts our ap-
parent worth, he will still consider us
worthy of every trust.

TIME TO ACT NOW.

Isn't 1t just about the extreme limit
OF the time when the ordinances re-
Earding reckless driving of cars in
Walhalla shall be enforced? If these
laws were made for bluff" why
not repeal them? They are utterly
useless In the bluff" capacity. 1t
Is foolish to wait until some one Is
killed and then go to enforcing the
laws. Enforcement after a fatal ac-
cident would be the means Of pre-
venting further loss OF life, but it
would bring mighty little satisfac-
tion to the fellow rushed unceremo-
niously into another world.
Lets not wait till after the horse
Is stolen to lock the door, if we may

preston, as full OF sound sense as It

Washington, Aug. l2.-Measures

will be announced next week by the
food administration. Breadstuffs. ii
was said to-day, will be the first food
over which the government will exer.
else supervision. Meat and dairy
products will come next.
Regulation OF food products will
be taken up by commodities. AS fast
as plans are made the food adminis-
tratiOn will make known its program.
for handling each. The present in
tention Is to improve economic con-
ditions through cooperation Of in
dustries concerned and no attempt
will be made to enforce drastic pro-
visions Of the law unless the co-ope-
ration plan fails.
The administration is preparing a
series OF statements OH the food situ-
alton in the United States and abroad
and hopes to impress on the Amerl-
can people the necessity for assist
aMce in carrying out It's a!ms.
Probable Course Indicated.
The government Is prepared to
take over the whole 1917 wheat har-
vest If necessary to conserve the sup
ply. obtain just prices for Americas
fighting forces and their allies and
reduce costs to the general public in
the United States.
Establishing Of buying agencies at
all the principal criminals, licensing
OF elevators and mills, fixing Of a
price to be considered fair, regula-
tion Of the middleman and OF grain
exchanges, with the elimination of
trading in futures, are the chief fea-
lures OF the plan. The licensing will
begin September
The minimum price of 50 for wheat
fixed by Congress does not become ef-
fective until next year, but the ad-
ministration proposes to exercise a
very thorough control over this
years crop through powers conferred
under the food and export control
bills.

WHY WE AXE AT WAR.

Not infrc9ncnt." wn7hear questions
asked that indicate doubt as to the
necessity for the United States to be
identified among the belligerents In
the present world war. For our part.
we have never for one moment doubt
cd the righteousness Of our entry
into the war or the absolute necessity
Tor our entrance in order to preserve
our national honor and our right to
claim the respect Of the remainder
OF the world. The reasons for our
entrance into the lists are so man,
and so varied that it is really hard
TO marshal them and bring them
within small space. The most sue
rinct statement we have seen as to
why we are In the conflict Is contain
ed in the words Of President Wilson.
as Follows:
"'rhe military masters OF Germany
denied us the right to be neutral
Ihey hlled our communities with vi
cious spies and conspirators. They
w ''''"pl oui 'iilItlS.
They sought by violence to DESTROY
our industries and arrest our COM
merce. They tried to incite Mexico
TO take up arms against us and to
draw Japan into hostile alliance with
her. They impudently denied us tho
use OF the high seas and repcatedly
executed their threat that they would
send to their death any OF our peo-
pie who vcntured to approach the
coasts Of Europe.
'This flag under which we serve
would have been dishonored had we
withheld our hand"
This, 1t seems to us, is the real
nlth and point Of the manifold rea-
sons why we are in the great world
war. There are thousands of rea-
sons, each In itself sufficient to ius
tify the position Of the United
States, but the above statement en-
braces within a few words sum-
mary so complete as to leave no
room for further inquiry as to why
we are in the war.

"Scrvice for AL"

The Walhalla Red Cross organiZa-
tion IS rapidly getting into shape to-,
render its "bit" toward the relief OF
the wounded and suffering soldiers
in war-ridden Europe. 1t is very
gratifying to know that the men and
women Of Waihalla responded so
readily to the call for Red Cross
workers, and in a short time the
membership far exceeded the rcuuir-
cd number to form a chapter.
1t is earnestly hoped, by those who
nave the work directly in charge.
that there will be no lack Of hands
ready and willing to prepare what
ever the committees decide Is best
Tor them to undertake. There will
be member OF the Red Cross in
charge each day at the work room In
Pilchford's Han. and every little bit
Of time spent there will mean a great
big "bit" to some Of our own bows
and our allies.
We hope that each one will con-
slider the work to be done as indiyid
ually his or her obligation, and we
feel sure Walhalla will produce no
"siackers." Mrs. !. A. Steck

Especial to The Times Dispatch
ROANOKE. VA. October I6.-The
food conservation campaign now in
progress Is designed solely to help
yin the war. says an announcement OF
the publicity committee for Virginia.
The TWO greatest factors in Americas
struggle with Germany are: military
ggression at the front and co-opera-
ton at home. Under cooperation come
money and food. and, without an album
Cant supply Of these. tho country might
as we'll withdraw its armies from Eu-
'ope and recall its warships from the
ca.
without conservation Of food by the
houscholders OF America this nation
will be unable to MI with greatest eff
fciency the part that conditions have
imposed upon it, and that of its duty
Itself and it's allies demands. There
must be nationwide cooperation for
,aving in the home, or our resources
or taking care of our own troops and
OF the troops and people OF the allies
will be seriously limited. All citizens
re urged to help. Every one must be
ready to sacrifice for the country's
afety.
AS an important step in the cam
paign OF food conservation, bust
ness men are asked to offer their SER
vices. II they will organize and lend
assistance and enthusiasm to the final
rally they can PROFESSIONALLY contri-
butte materially to It's success. In the
closing week Of the campaign, house
10 house canvass is TO be made TO pro-
cure national effort TO economic in the
use OF food.
Everybody who has an automobile
is asked to offer II 10 the local COM
mittees In charge of this work so that
the task OF visiting homes and attend
ing to other phases OF the undertaking
may be discharged eXpeditiously. An
other way to help is TO offer the use
of telephones and also 10 use tele-
phones as much AS possible in calling
up friends and arousing their interest
in the matter. Commercial organiza-
tons. retail merchants associations
chambers of commerce. ETC., are urged
10 put their shoulders behind The
wheels and to do everything in their
power TO enlist the cooperation of
Virginia homes. Every Virginia fam
lily is expected to have its name en-
rolled in this mighty enterprise to
conserve food. and thereby help to
insure the defeat of the enemy.
All women are appealed TO IN behalf
Of the cause. The success OF the un-
dertaking rests in largest measure
upon them. They are the housekeep-
ers, the planners OF the meals OF each
day, and. whether or not the effort to
conserve food is to be triumph, Will
depend on how the women of the coun-
try respond and on the character Of
their co-operation.
