"GOD WITH U.s."

During the late war the Germans
were. obscessed with the notion that
the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob was going before their armies
and blessing them while they devas-
tated Belgium and northern France.
The execution of Edith Cavall and
Captain Fryatt were supposed to be
pleasing to the deity.

stroke of lightning, now regarded as

creatures, mainly birds. Foxes arc lynx and the bobcat have been taken as far south as Connecticut and Cape Cod.
 Various reasons are assigned for the descent of predatory creatures in large numbers upon New England woods and fields. The cold is one. Another is the failure of the rabbit crop uS about Hudson bay, chief food supply of the birds of prey. Whatever the cause, the predatory birds have come south in very large numbers. Bald eagles appeared in December and January. Snowy owls were seen along the coast, rarely in the interior. Great horned owls and especially goshawks have been very numerous. One game keeper on southern Connecticut es- tate is reported to have trapped or shot 225 hawks, mostly goshawks, ana 76 owls, mostly great horned owls. At least three Arctic horned owls, rarely seen in New England, have been talk en here. One of these was captured in Mount Auburn cemetery by one of the cemetery employees. There has been a large influx of northern shrike feeding largely, it is reported, on spar rows. All these northern visitants are picturesque and interesting, but very destructive to our native wild | life.

''GET OUT OF RUT"
 BREACHES EDITOR
(Kansas City Starr


 In Fayette, Missouri, lives Walter Ridgeway, sane and sensible Mis- sourian. He believes that a change of occupation temporarily. at least is necessary to keep one out of a rut.
 Some years ago RidgeWay moved to Columbia and several years was con nected with the publication of the Co NImbia Herald. He then went to Fay cute and bought the Fayette Adver- tiser. He had a good paper and made money, but he sold out in the late summer of this year and bought farm near Surgeon. He laid aside his s50 suit of tailored clothes and dressed in a suit of khaki which cost about s4.30. \ friend discovered on his farm tent, and found out that he and his family would come to the farm once a week and spend the weekend
 The friend asked Ridgeway if he had given up the newspaper game and he said that he had not. that he was farming for the period of the war and perhaps for a few years after. but that it was only a side line and that he intended to keep his eye on the newspaper game.
 "The ancient Jews" Ridgeway said had q custom Of letting thelr land lit ldiAOW dbOul one year III StNeu SO the land might be renewed by Nature have notion that it is d good thing for d newspaper man or any other man, if he can do it. to take a littla rest from his business. lie fallow, so 10 speak, check uD accounts and get physically and financially fit. l have been in Fayette seven years, and this l figured, was my year to change work.
 The call has come from our coun- try to try to raise more than We can eat. With a half section of land on my han5s, I felt that l could serve my country better by making this land productive than l could by run ming my printing press, and therefore found man who could run my press as well or better than I could any, way.
 1T have three little girls in the town schools whose education would be incomplete, it seemed to me, un- less they came in contact with farm life and farm problems. A weekly trip to the tent and it's environs offer some opportunities for this contact as well as an outing and an oppor- unity to get away from modern i'm provements.

DOUBTS BETSY ROSS LEGEND
(Rear Admiral Chester in the Yale
 RevieW)

(Rear Admiral Chester in the Yale
 Review)
 The coincidence of the adoption of the national flage (i. c. the Stars and Stripes) in the same act of congress (June If, 1777) which appointed him to command the Ranger, fitted out to display that flag in foreign countries, let John Paul Jones to write: That flag and I are twins, born the same hour from the same womb of destiny. We cannot be parted in life or in death- So long as we can float, We shall float together. If we must sink, we shall go down as onei"
 There was nc clause in this law of congress readna, ''The stars shall be placed in a cir e" as has been erro- neously stated ny some so-called his torians of the fi-.g and copied by many other chroniclers. And no such flag as that called the Betsy Ross flag was ever authorized, saluted, or recog- nized by any foreign government In the Betsy Ross legends the period be- tween May 20 and June 5, 1776, is given as the time when General Washington, Robert Morris and Col onel Ross sat over a ''cup of tea in tue INOSS pdIIOT pidHnIHS tue SldI Spangled Banner. No authentic rec ords of such a committee, established by congress, can be found anywhere in the congressional archives. AS a mat ter of fact, Washington wrote to Gen eral Putnam, June 6, 1776, to have the colonels of regiments select colors for their regiments" showing that at that time there was no thought in his mind LII | carried by the army.
 It happens, moreover, that Colonel Ross, although a member of congress at later date, was then in the Penn sylvania legislature, which did not au- thorize the delegates to congress to discuss the question of separation from the mother country until June 19. 1776. Robert Morris was the secretary to the secret war committee of congress and

WINTER ESPECIALLY

A red shouldered hawk, accidentally killed not far from Boston, was found all sooty underneath. It is believed that he had been roasting nights on q chimney top for warmth. Wintering ducks have starved weak and then frozen because the flats where they usually feed have been so long ice blanketed.
