GREENEVILLE
Flag Raising at Home of Paul zahn- Personals.

At the, home of Mir. and Mrs. Paul Zahn at 109 Fourth street on July Fourth. immediately following the Greenevlle parade, a large number or their friends gathered to partici- pate in the raising of the American flag.
 Rev. Charles H. Ricketts gave a very interesting talk suitable to the occasion. impressing on his hearers in forcible manner how much that fag means to every true. loyal Ameri- can and the large number Of boys now fiGhting for it's preservation.
 Ee recalled the several wars in the past through which our flag had ral- lied victorious and hoped with the helr of Divine Providence this same emblem of freedom and truth would he found coming forth once more as in the past. assCrin" us that our America was stili free. but not until our boys and the boys of the allied nations had reached the Beast of Ser lin and crushed him forever.
 The flag was then raised by Miss Lois Zahn, youngest daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Zahn, during which the Star Spangled Banner was sung in chorus, led by Archibald McDougal.

The. Community Canning club re- gently received a request from Winni- peg, Canada, for full informa ton in organizing and conducting a similar club in that place. Farm people in Winnipeg have been so much oecu- pied with the larger field of agricul- ture that they have not hitherto given much attention to gardening. This year. however. they were urged to cul- tivate larger gardens and are now confronted with the problem of con- serving these garden products for the winters use. Home and community canning is a subject that IS interesting a large number of women in the Ca nadian west. Turning to their sister nation for information and advice, the department of agriculture at Washing ton, D. C., referred them to the Nor wich Community Canning club as one of the successfully conducted enter prises of it's kind in the United States last year.
