HISTORIC HEIRLOOM
 OWNED BY N. NJ. LADY


 Mrs. Minnie Lacy of Santa Rita, New Mexico, writes: "l am the pos sessor of a most interesting To e. a flag made in TIT and earned in the War of the Revolution also in the War of 1872 and was with General Jackson in the battle of New Orleans in 1874. It is three by four feet in size and has thirteen stars. It IS hand woven and sewed. It is faded aud battle scared, but still intact. The flag is a family heirloom, but as my sister and I are the last of our family we have decided to sell it, not only for financial assistance, but that it may be preserved after we are gone.
 Mrs. Lacy furnished the following history of her relic:
 "The flag was made by my great, great grandmother, Sallie Lea and carried by her husband John Lea at the battle of Brandywine, September Il, TIT. ., ,.
 aJohn Lea was killed in that battle. The flag was taken from beside him by a relative or friend of Col. Joel Dyer, of Ohio, to whom it was later given.
 aColonel Dyer carried it through the War of 1872 and last in the battle of New Orleans in 1874. He finally moved to Quincy, Illinois, and became

neighbor of my grandfather, An drew Rutledge. There he met my great grandmother, Priscilla Lea, the daughter of John and Sallie Lea, born in 1777 shortly before her fathers death. She was the third child. Two older boys were killed by the Indians and Tories few weeks later.
 "Priscillia Lea married Robert Bar Der. Nancy Barber, my grandmother was her daughter, born in 1S11 She married Andred Rutledge and her mother made her home in Quincy, H. and died there.
 "Colonel Dyer also died in my grandmother's home in 1863 and dying restored the flag to our family through my mother, Sarah Rutledge, daughter of Andrew and Nancy Rut- ledge, great granddaughter of John and Sallie Lea"
 It has been suggested that the heir loom be purchased and sold for the benefit of the American Red Cross war fund, or that it be bought for some regiment of the United States army serving lover there. .'-Ex.

TO PROVIDE LAND FOR sAMMIEs

The United States already has $100, 100000 invested in reclamation pro jects, and to provide land for soldiers, returning from the war oversea, F. H. Newell, head of the University of H. linois, in an address at Idaho Falls, Idaho, advocated the investment of $1O0 ,O00 ,000 more for the reclamation of areas which, if given water, would be productive. He believes that, with the United States behind proposed new projects, the necessary money might easily be raised on the land to be benefited.-Th Earth.

 Reveille was sounded at five o'clock every morning, breakfast half hour later, and at six o'clock every one was on the field ready for action.
 Fairbanks did not overlook any of the high cliffs in staging his. thrill lers, and his admirers will see him in new and sensational stunts. Marjorie Daw, who is very sweet and young, makes her first appearance playing opposite Fairbanks. The balance of the cast includes Frank Campeau, Kathleen Kirkham, Eugene Ormnode and Fully Marshall.

 Most interesting were the legends concerning the name of our city and early life here. The two lessons barely sufficed to give the interesting data which had been so carefully col lected.

Have you seen the tables in Bab- pitts window that will go to the sol dier bows?
 How fine they are! Ten of these have been made by the manual train ing boys of the Normal. We saw them just as they were ready for crating. Each table has two checker boards painted brightly upon it and no doubt will afford much pleasure to the boys at different cantonments.

The Germans are being forced to

lapse of the allies have been won
against immense enemy. The success
es gained by the concentration Of
strength which are striving to hold
vital points.
Marshal Foch, adhering TO his right
angle front, is steadily reducing the
enemy's area of maneuver, squeezing
him against the Ardennes hills from
the west and robbng him of mobility
in a fashion which seems likely to
prove disastrous to him before long.

EXPLORERS WORK IN AFRICA
Frenchman Sheds Light on Vast Re-

French explorer o. the Sudan, has re-
Gently published a report on the re-
suits of five years. work during 1927
In the hitherto unknown region lying
along the frontier between the French
Sahara and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
Tilho was entrusted with the task Of
pacifying and organizing this region
under the French government; and his
surveys embrace a stretch of previous
ly unexplored country extending more
than LOO miles from the center of
Tibestt southeast to the vicinity Of Ell
flasher, in Darfur. His photographic
work fills up large blank in the map
Of Africa. He urges the need of a
railway through this region, for the
benefit not only Of the world at large,
but also Of the natives, who are SUBJ
ject to periodical famines. 1t Is stated
that from one-half to three-fourths of
the inhabitants of northern Wadai
died of famine in 1914 One especially
interesting result Of his Investigations
is the disproof Of the hypothesis, sup
ported by his earlier explorations, that
there is a connection between Lake

All Guilty Of Cruelty to Prisoners to

London, Nov. 6-The allies have
decided that Germany must apply to
Marshal Foch, the allied commander
in-chief, for an armistice.
David Lloyd George, the prime min

commons.

Austria were also announced to the

known to have been guilty of or have

So the turtle talked to himself. Now
the turtles name was Percy, and he
was Il very valuable turtle. He was
in Il beautiful garden-nOt Il real out

They have samples of everything
which have to do with flowers at Il
flower show. For instance, there are
little gardens, laid 'out with flower
beds, paths, fountains, just as they
would be in really big gardens.
There are simple gardens, and elab'
crate gardens, and samples of trees
shrubs and all sorts of flowers.
Now Percy was in a very fine sam

behind which water ran. And it had

Of course he was right in one way
and wrong in another, for the air in
the building where the flower show
was being held was about the same
where the flower gardens were and
where the vegetable gardens were.
But he was right in one way, it is
true, for he had been living in a flower

''They had the same habits as you
have, they opened only on the sunny
days, and then each flower closed by
monday and the following day fresh
blossoms opened. Why don't you care
about blooming more?" Mr.. Sun in
quired. "Thera are so many of you,
and you keep coming and coming,
opening and opening on the bright
days, but it seems to me you're not
very strong or very energetic to stay
such q short time before you close
your eyes and never bloom again. It's
very strange to me, especially to me-
for I come out day after day after
day, and year after year after year,
and century after century-and don't
know how to say how much more!"
But you're Mr.. Sun, and folks need
you; flowers need you, the trees need

Mr.. Sun. But tell me more about

flower which had talked first, though
! there are three of US on a pair Of
leaves, only one Of the three opens at

droop when we are picked unless
sometimes we are put right into water
and are kept in the sunshine. You see
we always love you, Mr.. Sum-"
Mr.. Sun beamed happily. 'Please
go on" he said.
"Ah, Mr.. Sum-" continued Blue Star,
''you think we are strange not to last

there are so many of US to come,

has never been our habit.
"You feel little sorry for US be-
