Dear Sir:
Was at Sioux City yesterday to
look over. the labor situation. s.
Found that $50 and 400 men
were coming in per day. Very
few orders coming from South OAK
ota. Many men going back east,
some days as high as one half. We
lost these for harvest. Kansas on
ly gave the men seven to nine days
work. They are getting low on
cash. They will go to work at
So. so to $500 per day until har-
vest.
Can you take some of these men
a few days early? 1t will mean
more nearly getting the number of
men needed for harvest specially
for threshing. Town men will not
do for threshing. Very truly yours,
Ward A. Ostrander.

The American Flaq
How to Use and How to Display II.

Mrs. Sarah Van Walker, the No.
mans Relief Corps Instructor hands
US the following for publication,
as the flag in many cases is wrong
fully used and desecrated through
lack Of knowledge rather than thru
lack of reverence:
Our flag.
How to use and display it.
The flag should not be raised be-
fore sunrise and should be lowered
at sunset.
Colors on Parade.
When the colors are passing on
parade, or in review, the spectator
should, if walking, halt; if sitting,
arise, stand at attention and un.
cover.
When portrayed.
The flag when portrayed by an
illustrative process should have the
staff so placed that it is at the left
Of the picture. the fabric floating
to the right. In crossing the flag
with that of another nation, the
American flag should be at the
right.
THE Star-Spangled- Banner. ]"
Whenever The Star-Spangled-
Banner" is played all persons with
in hearing should rise and stand
uncovered during its rendition.
On Memorial Day, May 3Oth, the
National flag should be displayed
at half-staff until noon, then hoist
ed to the top of the staff, where it
remains until sunset.
Used as Banner.
Wheu the flag is used as q ban
ner. the blue field should fly to the
north in streets running east and
west, and to the east in streets
north and south.
Laid on Bier.
When the flag is placed over
bier or casket, the blue field should
be at the head.
Dissertation Of the Flag.
No advertisement or lettering Of
any sort should ever be placed up
on the flags nor should it ever be
used as a trademark. It should
not be worn as the whole or part OF
costume, and when worn as a
badge it should be small and pin
ned over the left breast or 20 the
left collar lapel.
Displaying the Flag.
The flags, out-of doors. should
be flown from a pole whenever pos
sible. In the United States army,
all flags are suspended from poles
and in no other way.
Used in Decoration.
When the flag is hung vertically
(s6 it can be viewed from one side
only) the blue field should be at the
right, as one faces it. When hung
horizontally. the field should be at
the left The flag should never be
placed below a person sitting.
Days wheL the flag should be
flown, Washington's birthday, Feb.
22d; Lincoln's birthday, February
18th; Mothers Day. I'd Sunday
in May; Memorial Day. May 30th
Flag Day, June l4th; lndepend'
ence Day, July 4th; also many To-
cal patriotic anniversaries.

the following verdict was rendered: !:
Just what were all Of the con-
tributing causes to the accident it
will be hard to say. One Of these,
however. was that a string Of box
cars had been left standing for two
days on the track just north Of the
track the moving train was upon,
and obstructed the view from the
north. and it is probable that
Arndt not seeing the locomotive,
which was down near the coal chute,
and was backing the divided train
in order to get coal and water, was
unable to see the moving cars, and
did not stop the auto until it was
too late and the machine was on the
track. Mr.. Wiseman, the watch
man and others called out to Arndt
to stop. but he either did not see
or hear the signal in time or be-
came confused and failed to stop
quick enough.
The two victims Of the accident
were married about nine years. and
they had been on the Chas. Bracht
farm for the same length of time,
and were recognized as an honest,
industrious couple.
The funeral services were held at
the Grant Center Evangelical church
Thursday Afternoon at 2 o'clock,
q large turnout out of friends and
neighbors being in attendance.
