Proper status of the service fag-3O
A Prominent Military Officer Makes
Clear Its Origin and the Accur-
ate Meaning Of Same
THOSE ENTITLED TO THE STARS
Tells Just When Blue, Gold or Silver
Star Should be Used and How
Representation is Given

So many questions have been asked
in Denison and everywhere through
out the country, concerning the or
igin, design and proper display Of the
service flag, that an article has been
prepared at Washington for general
information of relatives of men in the
army and navy. Brigadier General
Nathan William McChesney, formerly
of the Illinois National guard, but now
assigned as lieutenant colonel judge
advocate with headquarters in Chi
cago, is the author OF the article, a
part of which follows:
The service flag is not an official
flag of the United States government
The idea, so far as is known, was an
entirely novel one, credit for which ap,
pears to be due R. L. Queisser, who
designed and patented the present
flag. It has taken such firm root in
popular sentiment and has been OF
such beneficial influence that it is Of
ficially recognized and everyone who
is entitled to fly it is urged to do so.
The basic idea of the service flag is
that there shall be a star to represent
leach person serving with the colors
this means active service and applies
to women in the service as we'll as
men, Persons in any of the reserve
ton until they are called into and en-
ter upon active duty. State forces
not federaliZed and home guards are
not entitled to representation. but
men in actual training at any officers
training camp or cantonment should
be represented. Students taking mil,
|itary training at colleges or UNIVERSE
ties do not come in this class.
Men in the service of the allied
armies may be represented, especial
ly if they enlisted before our entrance
in the war.
When flown from a house the hus.
band, son, father or brother may
properly be represented, although he
did not actually leave from that house
hold directly to go into service. In
case of more distant relatives they
should actually be members of the
household and have left directly from
that house. Domestic employees, room
ers or boarders should not be repre-,
|sented.
If flown by club only those who
are actually members, either active or
honorary, should be represented, not
relatives of such members unless they
too, are club members.
A business concern using the flag
should include only those who go di
rectly from that office to the service
with some continuous relation existing

article of superior merit can hardly
help growing. The town will grow
with it.
Our towns are also learning now
that it is a great help if they can de-j
velop the agricultural resources OF
their own neighborhoods.
A prosperous farm country means a
growing business center to SUPPLY
that farm country. Boosting the farm

trades. AS in the case of manufactur-
ing industry, farming section will

up reputation for some staple OF SUI.
perior quality, for which there is g
growing demand.
If we made a systematic effort for
it we could get practically all the;
country people for many miles around
to come in and trade at the stores OF
Denison. This would mean more and
bigger stores.
If we could double our volume Of
retail trade we would then have here
a very unusual body of progressive
and aggressive business men. They
would never be satisfied until they
had secured for this town some new
productive industries, turning out
some distinctive products for which
there was a growing demand. This
would make certain very large ex.
pansion.

and where there is an expectation OF
return to employment.
Schools and colleges may properly
represent trustees, members of fac
ulty, graduates and undergraduates.
A blue star is used to represent each
person, man or woman, in the mill
tary or naval servic q Of the United
States. A gold star is superimposed
for those killed in action, while for
those wounded and entitled to the
official wound chey'ron, a silver star
is used. The silver star is also used
for those invalided home by injury

WHY TOWNS GROW.

It is too much to expect that the
growth of a town can be obtained by
the alertness merely of the. heads of
it's industries. The manufacturer is
baked unless his work people thor
oughly cooperate with his ambitions.
It is a difficult matter to build up a
growing industry, unless the employees
are doing their best to make them
selves intelligent in the details Of their
craft. They must try to turn out a
product little better than any other
factory or town creates. An industry
in which both employer and employee
are doing their best to turn out an

LAST CALL FOR GARDEN CROPS.

Fall turnips, salad crops and snap
beans should go into the ground now,
say the gardeners at Iowa State col
lege. The end of the, planting season
is drawing near and no time should be
lost in putting in these late garden
crops. .-,.g.
Where only a few rows are to be
put in it is a good plan to wet the
open furrow before planting. The seed
can be dropped in at proper intervals
and covered and prompt termination
will result This practice, has proven
very satisfactory in the college gar
denS. -.n.
This method of irrigating the
trenches in which beans and other
crops are planted not only makes
them come through the ground quick
err but gives them a rapid start, which
enables them to withstand attacks by
insects and other enemies. For in
stance, beans in the college garden
which were irrigated grew so fast that
they were scarcely injured by the at
tacks of the leafhopper.

 The Francis grounds are throw, open on Saturday afternoon and Sum day. That the soldiers appreciate the opportunity to escape from the heat of the city streets and stroll about the wide lawns and agnificent gardens is shown by the large number of wis itors from the camps welcomed since the place became available for them. On Saturday afternoons athletics are in order-ba,sebali, tennis and so forth. There is q dancing pavilion extremely popular with the soldier guests in the evening. A buffet lunch con is served in 8 spacious pergola by the women's committee. On Sun day evening supper is provided.

PIAvE RIVER NOW
 HISTORICAL PLACE
Made Famous by Scanning the
 Austrian Offensive
-----a--T-----E----

The student will search in vain through the pages of most of the widely used encyclopedias for any ac- count of the river Piave; it was of com pa ratively little importance either commercially or historically until the Austrian armies invaded the Venetian plains and were held upon the banks. or just beyond the banks of this stream.
 Future accounts of Italy. however. might as we'll omit to-" mention the Rubicon as to remain silent concern ing this waterway which meanders down from the Carnic Alps and, after q course of 125 miles, flows into the Adriatic 22 miles northeast of Venice.
 Throughout nearly four fifths of it's course the Piave runs down a pictur- esque valley with the famous Dolo- mite peaks rising to the west and the Venetian Alps to the east. The Dolo~ mites were once chiefly famous for their scenery and were visited every summer by thousands of American tourists. Now, however, such names as Monte Antelao C0,700 feet}, Monte Sora piss (10,500 feet, Monte Rochet- ta (S,000 feet), Monte Schiara (S,400 feet), Monte Serva (7,000 feet), Monte l ILLOIl V ,ooO ISSlJs SlpAbS T. dflOllS
 (7,600 feet), Monte Tomatico (5,200 feet), Monte Grappa (7,s00 feeD, and last and least in height but looming largest in current interest, II Montello G,2O0 fecD are written into the an nals of Italy's heroic resistance to the Huns. All these peaks are on the west bank of the river and from many of them the Italians launched their counter-attack which resulted in dis aster to the Austrians.
 Below II Montello the Piave enters the Venetian plain and the reu1ain- ing B miles of its course lie through delta land. The point at which it enters the sea is the inconseqquentia port of Cortellazzo
 Ieltre, with $500 inhabitants, and Bellune with a population of 1000. are the principal towns on the banks of this now historic stream. Perhaps the hamlet of Pieve di ! Cadare, with 700 inhabitants, is held by the Italians in chief affection among the communities of the Piave valley for it was here that that great genius of the brush, Titan, was born in the last quarter of the 18th cen. tuTY.
