AMERICAN BREAKFAsT

Our American breakftst-fruit, cereal and milk or cream, eggs and bacon, with toast or breadstuff of some sort and cof- fee or cereal beverage-is one of the most wholesome meals that have ever been devised. It is admirably suit ed to do just what it does-break the nights fast and fit you for the work of a new day. Of course in a large meas ure the success of the meal lies in having time enought to eat it. Many man has an hour for luncheon, with only a meager repast to consume, and he leaves a good, wholesome breakfast only half eaten because he has allowed himself ten minutes

BLOCK EFFECTS FOR SKIRTS.

Although in the novelty fabrics for skirts stripes appear to predominate, sev- eral of the satin prunella models show fondness for block treatments. A navy number shows biege blockers, the skirt fashioned so that the blocks predominate Another model in the same combination of colors features both box and side plaits, the block effect being especially effective in this handling. Striking color contrast is achieved in black satin pru- neHa, plaited to simulate a panel effect, zigzag lines in royal blue and beige marking the panels.

Americanism and pstriotism

MT. Editor During the war there was a great furere of patriotism but 1t seems that after the great crisis that it has died a natural, or better still unnatural death. Judging from our ob- servationh, during the funeral of one of those who made the supreme sacrifice on the field of battle. We observed while the cortege was 7assIng through Moosup that very few cit 1cr sa,uted the flag or the corpse. And they were not all the so-called ignorant for eigners. bu tincluded some of the most respected citizens.
 Even if they did not respect the flag they sholld have at least respected the man who died for the flag.
 With all our agitation for American ism it seems a poor example fer our native bofn Americans to set for the foreigners We noticed also the same independence was shown 'i'Iring the af- ed some caustic remarks among the members of the Legion. It may be the people are so fed up w1th patriotism that they fail to show that mark of respect, but to those who have fought for the flag 1t looked the same as what the famous General Sherman said about war, We hope that through you paper this will help to revive that feeling of patriotism or at least a decent respect for Old Glory.

TAHLEQUAH-It il probable that
the old farm once owned by IrinCi-
pal Chief John Ross of the Chero-
KEGS will be sold as soon as nego-
tiatinnS Ia that and are completed
The farm Is near the hamlet Of Park
Hill, all the land now enclosed. Up
on the arrival of the Cherokees IN
Indian Territory In 1893, in which
year the Cherokee nation as n body
polite was rcorganized, John Ross,
the principal chief selected as the
site for his home in the new land
n spot near the summit of "A small
elevation, surrounded by large forest
trees The house built upon this
site received the name OF Rose Cot
tage," because of the wealth OF
Clinging and climbing roses which
covered all the front Of the two
story home in the summer season.
Within the walls of the cottage were
to be found historical material and
data of vast value, the collection
being the most extensive ever as
sembled in the home Of a citizen of
the Indian nation. The monetary
valuc could hardly be estimated. but
all was lost when a marauding band
bent on pillagc, made a descent into
the fertile valley Of Park Hill in the
autumn of 1868. The torch was ap-
/ piled to the home of the chief and
within a short time all that re-
mained was a mass Of grey ashes.
| Never again was the home rebuilt,
1 for the chief, aged and worn by the
cares OF many trying years died in
| the city OF Washington in the sum-
incr OF 1866. at the age of 76 years.
| The farm however, remained In the
! possession of descendants for many
years following the close of the Civil
/ war, but several years ago passed
/ into the possession of new owners,
( who were members OF the white race.
| But it Is said that once again within
a. comparatively short period of time
/ the historical place may come into
