and passed it along to their fellow citizens There is
still, however, a deporable want of knowledge of
some Of the established practices relating TO the
1ulors, and the former service men composing the
American Legion better able to supply the need.
ed information than anyone else.
Here are some of the courtesies that should be
paid the flag. 1t should always be given the position
of honorat the front at the highest elevation at
the right. When 1t is draped or crossed with other
flags it should be the rightthe onlookers right.
When it is used as a decoration for a pulpit or
speakers rostrum nothing should be allowed to rest
upon It except the Bible. 1t should never be used
as table cloth, sofa pillow or the like. and should
not be twisted up to make rosettes similar orna-
ments. Bunting should be used for such purposes.
As the flag is carried by in parade men among
the onlookers should remove their hats and hold
them with the right hand against the left shoulder
Women should stand at attention.
The foregoing are among the most important
points to be remembered. But there others which
1t would be we'll also to learn. Some Of these matters
seem to be trivial but there is good for all
of them. They taken in most cases from the
customs of the army and navy. When the flag Is
flown at haf-saff, 1t should first be raised to the
top of the pole and then lowered to the desired posi-
ton and when it is to be taken down it should first
be raised again the top of the staff In raising or
lowering 1t its folds never should be permitted to
to touch the ground. When the flag is hung
wall the starry field should be the onlookers left
but when it is hung vertically the starry field should
be on the onlooker's right.
These finer details of flag etiquette will not be
learned quickly by the public. but IL the Legion
persists in it's campaign it will eventually be sue
cessful, and people will show as polite manners In
their treatment of the flag they do in less import
ant matters of etiquette.

''Dear me! That is to bad!" ex-

The grasshopper jumped up on

around with the records, and soon
the insect was whizzing along just
as though he sat on a merry-go-

"Hurray" he happily cried.
This is great! Hurray! Hurrahl

The grasshopper rode until he
was tired, and Nurse Jane gave
him some carrot bread and rose leaf

told his brothers and sisters what

they all flew over to the rabbit

they wanted until Nurse Jane made

No such number of unemployed ever before

We opine that what congress wishes as far it
