Flag Etiquette

In bulletin of the National Geo
graphical Society the following "fag
etiquette" is found
"In raising the flag, it should be free
during the act of hosting, which
should be done quickly. 1t should be
taken in slowly and with dignity. 1t
should not be allowed to touch the
ground, nor should it be permitted to
to trail in the dust.
"The flag should not be festooned
over doorways or arches. Always let
it hang straight.
international usage forbids the
display of the flag of one nation above
that of any other nation with which
it is at peace.
when the national colors are pass
ing on parade or in review, the spec
tators should, if walking, halt; and, if
sitting, arise, stand at attention and
uncover"

the prospective yield. Private esti-
mates are that spring wheat will be
twenty-five per cent less in yield. The
corn acreage is also reduced"
In March of this year the farm work
ers were only seventy-two per cent of
the total employed two years ago. In
some States the falling off in labor
supply was over fifty per cent. In the
grain States they fear that the migra-
tory labor on which they depend for
harvesting, will be insufficient for even
the reduced acreage, and many farm
laborers are demanding full pay for
eight hours work The farmer who,
equipped with a fair supply of ma
chinery, is willing to put in full
days work, is sure to reap golden
harvest at higher prices than even
in war times.

his land he is much more likely to
succeed. Credit will probably be

The Farm BeckOns

Two years ago we were feeding our
selves and a large part of Europe be
sides. Today, with the incentive of
war gone and the drift from country to
city setting in more strongly than
ever, we are in danger of food short
age-a shortage that has already be-
gun to be felt, and which promises Is
become more serious from month to
month.
Many thousands of young men are
daily in search of opportunity in our
overcrowded cities, and for every
chance to obtain material gain in
cities there are now dozen in the
country. Agriculture, the oldest pur-
suit in the world, may soon become
the master profession, for more and
more do the farmers realize that they
can force urban communities to give a
larger and larger share of the fruits of
their labor for the products of the soil
which they must have to live. The
building up of western Canada is an
example of the superiority of agricul-
ture to other kinds of labor in pro-
ductiveness. OF the 1egions who
rushed to the Klondike in 1897 to seek
the riches they could not gain in cities.
perhaps a few dozen made fortunes.
Hordes of disappointed ones, returning
to the United States through Canada,
were attracted by the money made in
wheat, and many of them stayed there
and became richer than the lucky
hunters of gold.

The Plow AS A
Weather Maker

From the beginning of the race man
has been trying to control the ca
prices of the weather. Even among
most primitive tribes the black art
profession, albeit precarious one
the mortality running high in time of
drought. We of the twentieth century
have largely outgrown our early trust
in wizardry And yet, dry spell
a long dry spell-has power to revive
in us primitive faith in the weather
man.
Only recently a professional rain
maker brought suit against Western
city for a ten-thousand-dollar fee. In
a drought he had offered to fill the
city's dried up reservoir for a price.
The council agreed-jocularly, it was
claimed in the answer to the suit.
Within week came the biggest rain
on record. 1t filed the reservoir and
washed away the dam, and with it
ranches and villages. But after due
deliberation, jury decided the rain
was purely an act of God.
Although we cannot yet summons
the clouds at will, we have quite an
effective maker of weather in the
pillow. Thus it was the advent of the
plow into Kansas and Eastern Ne
braska that so increased the rainfall
as to transform the arid land into a
crop country. But, perhaps, its most
spectacular achievement has been the
change it has wrought during the last
few years in the climate of the Cana
Clan Northwest, including the Danish
ing of the summer frosts. -
The scientific explanation of the
plow's effect upon the climate is this:
The sun could not penetrate the heavy
growth of vegetation that shaded the
ground, consequently the earth had
no chance to absorb and store up solar
heat. But when the land was cleared
and plowed and the suns rays could
shine direct upon the bare earth, suf.
ficient heat was stored up to raise
the summer temperature a few de-
grees, which was enough to keep 1T
above the frost line while the wheat
was growing, except in abnormal
years.-Popular Magazine.

Saccharin and Sugar

The controversy over the merits of
saccharir and sugar seems destined
to endure as long as the human race
demands sweetening in its food, or I'M
til some new undreamed of substitute
for both shall have captured the pub
lie taste. The warning issued by the
bureau of chemistry of the Department
of Agriculture against the too-free use
of saccharin is now combated by vari-
Gus authorities, including some of the
best-known chemists in the country.
1t was only forty years ago that
saccharin was discovered by Professor
Ira Remsen of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. At first its cost of manufac-
ture made it expensive for common
purposes, but when the process was
improved until twas much cheaper
than sugar, its use in Eurape as well
as in America became widespread.
Vigorous opposition was encountered
by the manufacturers, in Germany
especially, where the beet-sugar indus
try was being developed There and
in other countries arbitrary laws were
enacted, which were generally admit
mitted to be for the purpose of pro-
tecting established industries that
yielded the government huge reve-
nues.
In recent years, however, and partic-
ularly since the acute sugar shortage
occasioned by the war, the same Euro
pean countries have not only toler-
ated the manufacture and sale of
saccharin, but have encouraged it's
wider use. In America the fight has
taken a different course. Following
official regulations based upon the
Food and Drug Act of 1906, the con-
troversy was brought to the attention
of President Roosevelt, who appointed
a referee board of scientific experts,
with Professor Remsen as chairman
Professor Herter, of Columbia, and
Professor Folin, of Harvard, in collab-
Grafton with number of the ablest
scientists of the country, were on this
board They investigated the question
from all angles, including the influence
of the chemical substitute for sugar
on digestion, metabolism, nutrition,
and general health. Their report was
not unfavorable to saccharin.
Notwithstanding this report, Doctor
Wiley, before it was made public, pre-
cared another hostile regulation.
which was adopted by the pure food
board under the impression that it
met the approval of the Remsen IN
vestigators. When the discrepancy
between the referee board and the
Wiley regulation was realized by the
pure food board, the matter was
again referred to Professor Remsen
and his collaborators, who prepared
supplemental report, which again justi-
fed the claims of the manufacturers
as to the harmlessness of saccharln.
