the army and put in charge of the de-
partment of agriculture SO that the
farmers and all interested in the pro-
duction and distribution of food might
have comprehensive information as to
rainfall and weather representations.
Protecting Nation's Food Supply
From all this he reasoned that the
government recognized it as proper
function of government to encourage,
aid and protect agriculture, and he
held that it was the duty of the gov
eminent to guard against any shortage
in the food supply of the nation. There
fore. he said, when this great under
lying industry stood in need of funds
for operation or for development, it
was clearly the duty of the govern
ment and clearly within it's rightful
powers to provide the means by which
the necessary fundsscould be placed at
the disposal of those engaged in the
cultivation of the soil
Here is great activity he said.
(which has received financial support
from the foundation, of the govern
ment.
GI1"Our position rs that the federal gov
ernment was competent in the applica-
ton OF money and investment of
moneys In the stock of the federal
land banks. to organize these banks
and to invest moneys in their stock, to
borrow money, and to loan money for
these purposes and TO provide for the
issue Of bonds for these purposes. Be
ing competent to do this. the govern
ment could organize whatever agencies
were necessary and convenient and
could authorize them to borrow to do
this thing for the government"
Bonds Had to BE Exempt.
Mr.. Hughes contended that as con-
gress could create the land banks as
corporations and clothe them with
power to lend money and to issue
bonds, the government could, of course,
protect these corporations and these
bonds issued by them from discussion
or impairment by any action. He said
that "as the power to tax was the
power to destroy" the government, of
course, had the right to exempt these
bonds from taxation. And this rule,
he said, had particular force in this
case, as the bonds of these banks had
to be sold in competition with other
tax-exempt securities, and that with
out their being tax exempt money
could not be secured for the farmers
at low rates of interest. To help the
farmer the rate had to be low, and to
get the low rate the bonds had to be
exempt from taxes.

Mr.. Hughes pointed out that from

has been a continuous disbursement OF
hubble money in aid of agricultural de-
Velopment He showed how, while
congress had not attempted to operate
garfns and had not stepped into any
state to legiSlate as to the use of farm
lands, still congress had provided IN
formation, had disseminated instruc-
gions, had distributed seeds, and had
supported in every manner which was
deemed wise, the great national inter-
est of agriculture. He told how the
government had sought to protect agrl-
culture from great pests such as the
gypsy moth, the brown-tail moth, the
boil weevil, or even the grasshopper-
all for the general welfare.
He showed how the government had
provided for the distribution of seeds
III new and useful varieties and how 1t
had provided for the introduction and
protection of insectiyGrous birds and
bow 1t had provided also for the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of labora-

The flag may'fy officially night and
day continuously over only three
buildings in America; the east and
west fronts of the national capitol and
over the house of representatives and

two latter the flags fly only while
these bodies are in session and during
a recess. At adjournment they are
lowered.

THE ORIGIN OF the STARS AND STRIPES"
READ AT BRUNSWICK FOURTH CELEBRATION

The following paper was written by
Mrs. Tibbitts and read by Mrs. E. G.
Miner at the Brunswick Fourth of
July celebration:
The Origin of the "Stars and Stripes.
Compiled from many sources.)
To all mankind the flag is an en-
blem of faith, Of hope, Of loyalty to
the highest principle in his power to
achieve. The theory has been ad-
vanced that the red, white and blue
of our flag may be traced back to the
early Jewish church whose table Of
shew-bread was covered with cloth
of blue, scarlet and white. The church
and the nation are so closely inter-
woven:that it appears the early West
em church must have taken over
these colors and designated them to
be used by the Western nations for
their flags. 8F Il y essa
Red Is said to signify courage;
white is1for purity and. blue is for
loyalty and Justice. The star is in

dominion, In the "'Stars, and Stripes

star of each state is given a fixed
position by government regulations.
Ohio is number II. or the first star in
the third row.
May regulations and customs are
comparatively little known outside mil
itary circles. The flag should be
raised at sunrise or after, never be-
fore. When the flag is hung against
a wall the blue field should be in the
upper left hand corner if the stripes
are horizontal. In the upper right
hand if they are perpendicular. The
flag should never be allowed to touch
the ground, deck of a ship, nor trail
in water or dust. A flag reversed,
that is, with the blue field down, is a
sign of distress. To display the flag
at half-mast it should be first raised
to the top of the flag staff and then
lowered little. } -.
At all times the flag should be
raised briskly and lowered slowly and
always by hand, never by mechanical
means. 9a@ "~t ,
On the death of president the flag
should be displayed only one day at
half-mast. On Memorial day it should
be at half-mast only one half day. At
noon it should be raised to the top
Of the staff to remain until sunset.
V, When used as a banner the union
should fly to the north in streets run
ming east and west, and to the east
in streets running north and south

flag be used as table cloth or as
drapery. If festooning is needed use

emblematic of the morning stars
which shine forth even while it grows
light.
In 1776 Washington flew a flag at
Cambridge with the thirteen red and
white stripes but with reproduction
Of the British union jack in the place
now occupied by the blue field and
stars. June ID, 1777 Congress adopt
ed resolution that: "The flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing new constel-
lation."
Both stripe and star were added
for each new state admitted but in
1918 when the number of states was
increased to 20 Congress altered the
design to the one we now use except
ing that for every new state admitted
to the Union one star should be added
to the Union Of the flag, such addi-
tion taking effect on the 4th day Of
July next succeeding such admission.
In the war Of the Revolution the
flag had 13 stars. In the war of 1912
it had, 18, stars. In the war with
Mexico it had 20 stars. In the Civil
war it had IS. It bore As as II
