SERVICE FLAG OF
 ST. MARKS CHURCH
 IS PROUD EMBLEM

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 2S. - From in front of St. Marks Episco- pal Church here floats service flag that has more interest than any other in this section of the Middle West, for it carries one bright blue star standing all alone above the rest in honor of General John J. Pershing, Commander-in-C Chief of the American expeditionary forces in France. Permission to add this star to this Flag was given by General Pershing.
 General Pershing's connection with Cheyenne is one of sentiment, for it was here the romance began which resulted in his marriage to Miss Frances F. Warren, daughter of United States Senator Francis E. Warren. Mrs. Pershing, with her three little daughters were burned to death in a fire at Presidio, San Francisco, while the General was on the Mexican border. It was in the picturesque church over which the Pershing star floats that their fuer al services were held.

 One to Help.

NEW YORK, Aug 27.-For the proper celebration throughout the United States on September 6, of the 161st anniversary of the birth of Lafayette, the great French hero and friend of the American colonies, the American Defense Society today issued a call to the people ot the United States emphasizing the Ma tional debt American owes Lafey- ette and urging Americans to repay part of this debt by annually hon bring his name and memory.
 This is also the anniversary of the battle of the Marne in 1914, and through the cooperation of the two hundred and seventy-six branches Of the Society, any of many civic and patriotic organizations who have al ready volunteered to help in making Lafayette Day great success 1t IS expected that 1t will be fittingy ob- served in every city in the United States. The call which is signed by Charles Stewart DavisOn, Chairman of the Society's Board of Trustees says:
 "It seems very right and fitting that Americans should honor the name and memory of Lafayette on September 9th out of the gratitude that is strong. that will never wither or die in the heart of Americans and I judge all patriotic Americans to do their part toward seeing that the day is fittingly observed through out the country. Lafayette and his devotion to our cause, France and the United States fought shoulder to shoulder at Yorktown, and through their cooperation the independence of the struggling colonies was real ized and the liberty of whole con tinent assured.
 Today as we plan to celebrate the birth of Lafayette, his country is taking part once more in a war Of independence. war which will save, and has already saved civilization and free institutions from the men ace of autocracy and militarism. The Battle of the Marne fought and won by Lafayette's countryman, Joffre. makes the 9th day of September a date memorable not only in the his tory of our country but in the an nals of civilization. In this year we are preparing in some modicum to pay the immeasureable debt we owe to France and Frenchmen.
 ' "It is the hope of the American Defense Society that every man, wo- man and child in the United States will become interested in perpetual ing Lafayette's memory. We urge that Statues of Lafayette be deco

Authority on Sporting Topics.
Sportsmen of all ages are harbored
by golf and trapshooting. They are
the pastimes hat bring out the real
contrast in the ages Of the perform
ers. They are unq~uestionably the
sports for all persons and all ages.
In the recent Grand American
Handicap, which we talk about as the
premier event of trapdom. we discov-
cred among the 629 entrants a boy Of
9 years Of age and u mar Of 70. There
was another boy of IL. another Of Is,
who by the way Is a state champion.
and a half dozen lads Of 10 or 10
years. Then there vas a young lady
of II summers, and a dozen men be-
yond threescore of years.
From 9 to 10 is surely a real con-
trast in ages. No other sport can
touch these figures, nor the number Of
pionship had a boy Of IL. a real crack
and a mar of 81. That is the nearest
approach to trapshooting's figures.
Ones golf isn't qaite so good as n
gets along in years. but the very best
trapshots we have in this country to-
day have turned the half-century
mark.
