Striking Likeness of
Flag Seen in Sky

Baltimore.-A striking likeness of
the American Flag formed of clouds
in the western sky during a storm
here. 1t was hailed as a good omen.
During the late afternoon heavy
clouds formed in the west and. to-
gether with thunder, indicated the
approach of a storm. A dark cloud
formed in the midst of great light
one and took the instantly recogniz-
able design of the American Flag. 1t
had the appearance of a flag flying.
1t was rectangular, in one upper cor
ner was particularly dark square
similar to the blue field of the Amer
lean Fag, and the remainder of the
cloud was slightly ribbed horizontal
iy, in appearance similar to the
stripes
Another singular coincidence was
that the apparition of the flag was in
the west-as the west 'front.' is

Nelson County Food
Administration Met
Yesterday Al Michigan

Michigan, Aug. 26.-The county
food administration held a meeting
here Yesterday under the chairman
ship Of P. ]. Iverson. Only about
half Of the stores in the county were
represented. Those who did not APP
pear will probably show up later
when the general plan Of prices
which is being arranged will be dis
cussed. If the members do not meet
up they will pay a fine to the Red
Cross.
People seemingly little realize yet
that these organizations are a part
of war and disobedience to the gen.
eral orders involves penalties.
It is believed that the meeting yes
terday was representative and that
the people present represent the very
best patriotic interests.
After some discussion it was con-
cluded that a committee of II, in
Guiding a representative from each
town or store in the county, should
arrange about the schedule of prices
to be arranged at a future meet
ing.
1t was concluded that County
Food Commissioner Iverson and r.
j. Wood. clerk of the court, should
act as temporary chairman and Sec
rotary Of tbe organization. respec-
ltively.
The committee OF IL from the larg-
est stores in the county will meet

Receivers Ring.

ISL.
He was an American soldier. He
had been wounded In he recent
heavy fighting on the Marine. After
passing through a field hospital he
was evacuated to the rear and at q
base hospital was operated upon. The
third finger Of his left hand, upon
which he wore a plain gold ring, was
amputated. When he recovered con-
seriousness, the ring was nowhere to
the hospital staff, but nobody there
had seen it.
Hearing that the home communi.
cation service Of the American Red
Cross would help him. as it had
hepled many other American boys,
he wrote a letter to Major Allen ask
ing the American Red Cross to look
for the missing ring. The home
communication service promptly got
to work and all the hospitals, evacu-
alton stations. and camps through
which the man nae passed were noti-
fled Of the loss. A few days later the
Paris bureau received a small pack
age which bore no indication from
whence it came and was accompan-
led by no letter of explanation. II
