Monday night the county loses one
of its eNcentric characters.

WHEN OLD GLORY DIPS

Raymond Poincare, former Presi.
dent OF France, says the Chicago Tri.
s"ne II writing tc interpret the spirit
and purpose of the United States
says:
Have you ever noticed that the
Star Spangled Banner is the only flag
IN the wide world which does not din
before the head Of a State, a king or
a president? That is little detail,
but it is significant?"
1t is significant, but 90 per cent
OF the Americans who read it did not
know that the ideal of their nation
mad this ritualistic observance. The
flag in the United States is dipped in
courtesy to another nation, but never
to an Individual. If the French col.
ors saluted the American, the flag
OF the United States would return the
courtesy, but it would be n salute
to the French nation.
In the United States the nation.
even in ritualism, precedes all per-
sonalties. The symbol of the nation
cannot salute even the President of
the United States and cannot salute
any other ruler of State.
In that fact is the revelation of a
principle which has made it possible
for the United States to draw its citi
zens from nearly every quarter of
the world and remain a nation.

Panaman appeals to
Heaven" Against
Injustice"

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. s7.-"Pan-
anna has been forced to bow to the
United States" in the award Of Coto
to Costa Rica, Narcisco Garay, sec
retary of foreign affairs of the
Panama Republic, declared In his
final note in the correspondence be-
tween him and Secretary Hughes.
The note was made public here to-
day by Garay.
In retaliation for the defeat of
the mission which brought him to
this country, he said Panama will
sever telephone relations between
Coto and Panama.
In the face of the unequivocal
attitude taken by the Department OF
State of the United States. Panama
Is compelled to bow to her cruel
fate, but in her weakness itself, she
feels sufficient energy to appeal to
Heaven against tho injustice and
the violence to which she Is at pres.
ent submitted, and to declare, that
as long as Panamaian hearts beat in
the world she will keep open the
deep wound inflicted to her dignity
and pride, and that she will look
eagerly to the future, longing for
that redeeming justice which is to-
day denied her. but that shall arr
rive for her some day through th'
inexorable design of God"

Asks Court Order.
Property of Dead
Sister Be Shown


Herman +. Passman, brother Of
Matilda G. Struck. who died Feb
ruary 2s last. fled a petition in
Probate Court yesterday requesting
that his brother-in-law, Ludwig T.
Struck. of lit E street northwest.
be required to reveal the alleged
hiding place of certain personal
property left by the sister.
Through Attorneys Neudecker and
Emerson. jr., Passman claims that
his sister owned real estate and
certain jeYelry when she married
Struck and that the latter induced
him to sign a paper renouncing his
right to the property. 1t is also
alleged that 1t was Mrs. Struck's
intention to divide her estate be-
tween her husband and brother. ex-
cepting the real estate, which is
valued at about $4,000 and was not
to be sold until three years after
her death. Passman alleges the
wishes of his sister have not been
carried out because of the refusal
of his brother-in-law to allow him
access to the woman's belongings.

were to get the men back on the
job, leaving the settlement of
grievances to proper authorities.
Il heard from two of these men
this afternoon after they arrived in
Cincinnati. They had arranged 4
meeting with the men, and believed
the shopmen would return to work.
The walkout was absolutely unau-
thorized."

CHEAP FEED WILL
MAKE SCRUB DAIRY
COWS PAY PROFIT
Trouble Lies in Fact That Many Farm
crs Are Led by Temporary Con-
dition to Believe That
Scrubs Pay.

Government reports show a consid-
cradle decrease in butter held in stor-
age this year as compared with last
year. The quantity of butter in stor-
age has a considerable effect on the
market price for butter fat. All pro-
spects seem to be for storage-butter
market this coming fall and winter.
Farmers who have cows in this state
have good chance, with cheap prices
for hay, to make reasonable margin
of profit. The dairy COW is produc-
ing a profit at the present time.
The only danger in such a profit is
that men will be tempted to keep milk
ing poor-producing cows because the
lew feed cost will enable these cows
to produce at a profit when normally
they do not do so.
1t is all right to keep these cows
that produce a profit under certain
conditions, provided the owner keeps
clearly in mind the fact that these
cows will not pay that profit when
feed costs arise, or when the margin
between cost and selling price is mar
rowed. This is the view taken by
Geo. E. Morton of the Agricultural
College at Fort Collins.
The effort of every man who ex-
poets to stay in the dairy business
should be to make his herd of cows
better every year. In order to do
this he must continually weed out
the poor stock and save heifer calves
only from his best cows.
