RUN UP OLD eLoRYl
By Wilbur d. Nesbft, author Of your Flag
and Ny Flag"
Run up Old Gloryi Let it blaze
In red and white against the sky,
And tell the story of the days
When hearts were stout and hopes were
high.
Forget the daily fights of greed,
Forget the struggles, the dismay
OF facing cruelty and need
Run up Old Glory for the day.
Run up Old Gloryi Think Of all
The old flag means to you and me,
OF how the blast of freedoms call
Shook out its folds from sea to sea;
Red with the blood that it has cost,
White with the souls of them that died
Today by laughing breezes tossed
1t whispers of a nations pride.
Run up Old Glory! Fling it forth
And feel anew the country call
That thrills East. West and South and North
And has its word for one and all.
Run up Old Glory-aing il far
Across the blue of heavens dome,
And feel that every stripe and star
Is warder of your hearth and home.

LAUNDRY HINTS

To remove ironmould, rub stain with a lemon dipped in salt. When the stain disappears, rinse immediately.
 When washing pink cotton goods the color may be made fast by using red" instead of blueing. Boil a piece of Fur key red in a pint of water. Bottle this and use it like liquid blue, experiment. ing with a little at a time until the right tint is secured.
 When materials are too delicate to take starch, use sugar in rinsing water, Sheer fabrics. such as organdie, chif- ions and all other delicate materials, will gain their original crispness if three tablespoonfuls of sugar are add ed to the rinsing water. This also is the proper treatment for all veils.
 To wash chamois, wet it in a weak solution of washing soda and water. rub plenty of white soap into it. Let it lie for two hours, then rub between the hands until clean. Rinse in a weak solution of soda and water with a lit tie soap powder shaken in. This will prevent it's becoming hard when dry.

loss that has been sustained in those eight months of nearly $c75.00o, 900. On top of this is to be added the increase in operating expenses caused by the recent award to the railroad shopmen of increased pay amounting to about S4,ooo, 900 a month and retroactive to May first This item alone wipes out the surplus that has been earned dur ing the month of August and leaving the railroad administration practically $273.oo0,0 900 in the hole for two-thirds of the year.
 With a surplus showing up in July and handsomely increased during August it is possible that this gain if it can be continued through the re- nnainder of the year will help to cut down the loss from operation but it cannot fail to be appreciated that there is slight prospects of this unless there is a quick end to the unrest and curtaned production prevailing through the country.

THE NON PARTISAN LEAGUE.

Four years ago there was formed in North Dakota what is known as the Non-Partisan league. political eco homie organization started for the purpose of reforming the marketing system of farm products. It is in fla vor of public ownership of public nec-
 essities and much has been claimed
 essities and much has been claimed for it since it was launched. It gained many supporters as the result of it's allur- ing claims and set out to gain politi- cal control. It started in to change things all around and it succeeded in many respects.
 In this connection it is interesting 10 note that federal bank examiners have just closed the Scandinavian American bank at Fargo. N. D.. and from the early reports given out 1t ap-4 pears that the institution's affairs are in a deplorable condition.
 This bank appears to have been used extensively in promoting the Non Partisan projects such as chain of country newspa pers. system of CO., operative stores and league ex- changes. all of which required large gums of money and this bank was apparently so bound up in the league and it's head that it readily compiled with requests for funds regardless of the legal limit for it's loans or the se- curity received. The bank is thus de- clared to be hopelessly insoivent.
 Whether this will have an eye-open- ing effect upon those who have been blindiy supporting this league remains to be seen but such a disclosure cer- tainly should reveal the dangers of go-' ing against established methods of government without giving thought to experiments that have previously been 1~, l.,e tended to number of other states it is significant that this revelation should come from the very state where 1t was started

PREVENTING ACCIDENTS.

When one stops to consider that there are in the neighborhood of 1o,- p00 killed each year and somewhere aDout Poo coo injured in railroad acci- dents. according to the latest availa- ble statistics, it cannot fail to be real ized that whatever efforts can be put forth IT. behalf of greater safety are b.I nd to result to the Soo1 o: trav- eil:; humanity
 In this connection it must be ap- preciated that beneficial results should attend the drive that is to be con ducted by the safety section of the op- era ting division of the railroad ad- ministTstion during the fortnight com mencins October IS. for no matter whether the deaths and injuries result from collisions, derailments or other reasons connected with the opera tion of the trains or whether they come from striking trespassers upon rail road property, it is perfectly evident that the number is too large and that there is plenty of opportunity for bringing about an improvement by giving the situation proper consider ation.
 Good results have been obtained from safety first efforts. The implanting Of that idea in the minds of the people has unconsciously accomplished much good and with the railroads bringing the importance of accident prevention to it's employees and passengers over a two weeks period valuable additional benefit should be gained. Prevention work in every direction is entitled to the deepest consideration and with everyone cooperating desired results are bound to be obtained.
