More Flag Pole Dope

Sparta folks are soon going to have
a flag pole if the following, clipped
from the Sparta Sentinel-Leader'
counts for anything: Sparta was to
have a flag pole, before July a, 1919.
Sparta had flag pole sometime be,
fore Christmas 1919. Sparta stal
has flag pole. But the flag pole is
of the modest sort and so far is said
to be clad only in union suit and so
has not ventured forth into the public
gaze. There seems to have been
some difference of opinion as just
what the proper garb for a self re-
specting flag pole. Some thought 1t
should be apparalled in decollette,
others contended for Puritan garb,
some believed white would be proper,
others preferred more somber shades.
And so as aforesaid the pole lies IN
the painters shop, half clad. But 1T
is now stated that the time for its
debut is near and that the stars and
stripes of Old Glory will soon float
above the central square of the town.
When it comes to real lonk lived never
TO be forgotten flag poles, the Suarta-
cans have nothing on us Bedding folk,
now, have they?

DELAWARE HOLDS
 FATE OF SUFFRAGE
tBy United Press)

Dover, Del, March GA special session to act on the constitutional amendment granting women sugrage was called by Governor Townsend to- day to assemble on March 22. The call does much to break the high ten sion brought about by the statement of the National Woman's Party last night that the Republican party will be responsible if the amendment fails of ratification by the required major lty. Three states are needed to rati- fly, the party declared, and the Repub- lican party holds majorities in Yer mont, Delaware. and Connecticut. Should West Virginia, which is in a deadlock on the suffrage issue, fail to ratify, the women's party must se- cure ratification by two of the states already named before the federal amendment is effective.
 Suffrage also will be the issue be- fore the special session for Washing ton state, called to meet on March 22.

 Washington, March 6.-The United States must continue it's pre-war naval building program until it is determine whether this country is to become a member of the league of nations, Sec retary of the Navy Josephus Daniels told the house committee on naval af- fairs at hearing this morning.
 If the senate fails to ratify the treaty and covenant the United States must immediately proceed to build the greatest navy in the world, Secretary Daniels declared.

 The naval program, Secretary Dan lels told the committee, in case the treaty fails of ratification. should be carried into the appropriation bill now being framed by the committee. It should include, he declared, the fol- lowing:
 Two battleships, larger than any others in the world.
 One battle cruiser.
 Six scout cruisers.
 Twenty light cruisers.
 Eight mine-laying cruisers.
 Twenty flotilla leaders.
 Six fleets of submarines.
 Four airplane carriers.
 One submarine tender.
 One destroyer tender.
 The cost of the immediate program was estimated by Secretary Daniels at $195,3OO,0OO.
 The secretary said, however, if the United States should join the league or nations the construction of the bat tieships and scout cruisers could be abandoned.
