FLAG REGULATIONS

With the near approach of the
time for decorating for the Fourth
of July, the following authoritive
statement of the regulations for the
display of Gid Glory, is of general in
terest. The letter was written to w.
b. Rhodes of Manhattan, Kan:
My Dear Comrade Your inquiry
in regard to the proper way in
which to display the American flag
has been received. In the absence
of Commander in Chief Ketcham
am answering that the blue field of
the flag is always in the north or
east whenever a flag is displayed
This is the Z. S. Government regu-
lation.
Yours very truly in F. c. & L.,

AN OPPORTUNE TIME

There never has been and prob
ably never will be a more opportune
time than the present for the United
States to take the lead in a move
ment to halt the feyerish competi-
ton in navy building between the
great nations of the world
In the first place the people every
where are rebelling against the ever
increasing burden of taxation and
are demanding curtailment of gov
ernmental expenditures. By declar-
ing holiday in the battleship build
ing program billions of dollars could
be saved by the governments of the
United States. England, France and
Japan.
In the second place, our navy to-
day ranks with that OF England as
the most powerful in the world and
for that reason we are in position
to call a halt without any possible
danger TO our interests, If the other
nations follow our lead
Seven years ago the navy Of the
United States was surpassed by both
that of Germany and Great Britain
and was closely pressed by that OF
Japan. Today the German navy is
no longer in existence, the British
navy has been reduced to a level
with our own, and the Japanese navy
is markedly inferior in size. If our
present program of naval construc-
tion is carried TO completion, our
navy will exceed that of Great Brit
ain in power by from 80 TO 80 per
cent
The above facts are taken from a
recent editorial in the Scientific
American, which has long been q
strong advocate of naval prepared
ness, but recognizes that condition.

premacy or in forcing the other pow
ers to keep up the pace. There is
lot of truth in the following observa-
lions of the Japan Chronicle, which
it would be well Tor our people and
statesmen to ponder over carefully:
1T is the big nations which al
ways are i'm state Of nervous trepi-
dalton, and who see an enemy Turk

countries like Holland Norway,
Sweden. Denmark, and switzerland
feel peacefully secure while, to Judge
from the newspapers people in heay-
lily armed countries like France.
England, the United States and ia
pan can not sleep at nights because
of the perils they visualize all
around them?
THE only explanation that seems
to fit the case is one that runs cOun-
ter to ali the assurances of arma-
ment-makers and armament-defend-
ers. Conscience, we are told, doth
make towards of us all. Can 1t be
possible that all this talk Of self
defense. Of preparation against i'm

being thriCe-armed not in the jus
tice of our cause but in good solid
weapons of steel is a mere camou-
flage? Is it in reality the insignia

good old rule, the simple plan, that

be said for this explanation"
There is also food for thought in
the comment of Herbert Hoover:
There is no more uncomfortable
folly than this continued riot of ex-
penditure on battleships at a time
when great masses of humanity are
dying of starvation"
General John J Pershing calls at
tention to the fact that the estimates
recently presented to congress for
the support of our naval and military
service contemplate appropriations
of more than 100000 a day for
every working day of the next fiscal
year.
Instead of trying to lop off a few
hundred dollars from the annual
taxes for the support Of our schools.
why don't the residents of every
school district in the United States
devote their energies to demanding
that this government take prompt
and vigorous action to induce the
other nations to cease preparations
for war The adoption of such a
program would mean substantial re-
lief for the taxpayers and would fur

ity and progress of the world.

THOUGHTLESS VANDALISM

The mental makeup of men and
women who scatter papers along the
highroads, who trample down grow
ing crops, who break down farmers
fences. and who are responsible for
surrounding our woodland streams
with a beadwork of tomato cans is
quite easy to understand. Such peo-
pie are merely primitive individual
lists They have not yet advanced in
civilization to point where they can
visualize the property rights of 9th
ers, They scatter their trash broad
cast through the land because they
have not imagination enough to see
how such action can rebound to their
own hurt. There are many who are
neither homeless nor landless them
selves who can still act and live, so
far as the rights of others are con-
Cerned, as though they were race of
nomads wandering across trackless
desert of swiftly cleansing sand.
Their mental processes are as OBJ
vious as the trail they leave behind
them in the landscape, We can un-
derstand them, but we do not like
them.
There is another group Of wayfar-
ers which, though allied closely to
the first, we both dislike and can
not understand. This is the group
which not only scatters refuse over
private lands. but also leaves a trail
which he who runs may read over
the land belonging to cities, states
and the nation. a public park,
whether it be but a triangle of grass
at the intersection of three village
streets or a rolling meadow land set
down in the heart of a great city, or
a forest reserve of a hundred thou
sand acres of the national domain,
is property TO which each and every
one of us has an inalienable right.
To scatter trash over a hit of green
in the heart of a city or to slash off
the Top of a pine tree in a national
park is to damage part of the com
mon land to which every citizen is
heir. We can understand how a
man can disregard the rights of a
neiehbor but it is not so easy to un-
derstand how q man can destroy the
hpauty of land which is his own and
his children's II we are to continue

CONSTRUCTIVE WORK

The campaign which is being con
Quoted by a committee of the cham
Der of commerce in cooperation with
H. II. Curtis and several other farm
ers to demonstrate that, ny a proper
rotation of crops, the fertility of the
soil can be maintained without re-
sorting to the costly system of SUM
mer following is piece of valuable
constructive work, In these days
when the farmers have difficulty in
realizing the cost of production from
the sale of their grain, any method
which gives promise OF reducing the
cost of production is well worth try
ing.
II is an expensive proposition for
any business man to let a half of his
capital or of his manufacturing plant
lie idle every second or third year,
and ii is equally expensive for the
grain grower to summer fallow half
of his land every year or two. for the
land represents both his capital and
his factory. The part which lies
idle adds to the cost of production on
the part which is in crop.
The experiments which have al
ready been conducted on the farm
of Mr. Curtis indicate that by grow
ing legumes in proper rotation with
grains the land of this section can
produce a crop every year continu-
ously without any impairment of its
fertility. In fact, there is ground
for believing that by the use of this
system the fertility of the soil can
not only be maintained but even in
creased.
Land in summer fallow yields no
returns, but entails considerable eX-
pense. which must be paid out of the
earnings of the part of the ranch in
crop and charged as a legitimate
item in the cost of production of that
crop. Any system which will en-,
able the farmers to use all of their
land every year in growing market
able crops without running the fer
tility of the soil, will be of tremen-
dous benefit to the Palouse country.
In inaugurating this campaign
the chamber of commerce is work
ing along the right lines. 1t Is folly
for any commercial organization to
waste its energies in peddling hot air
and in chasing rainbows, with manu-
featuring plants at the end of them,
for which the locality can offer no
advantages or inducements 1t is
the part of wisdom for any such body
to concentrate all its efforts in study
ing, developing and improving the
natural resources and advantages
of the section tributary to it. If the
Pullman chamber of commerce can
help to demonstrate that the farmers
of Whitman county can grow crops
on all of their land every year with
out impairing its fertility, instead of
letting half of ii lie idle in summer
fallow every two or three years, a
great service will have been rendered
TO the grain growers and to all lines
of business affected by the earning
capacity of the farmers

AN IDEA

1t is a natural tendency for peo-
that time will reveal to them the
secret of success; that some other
town. state or country holds posi-
bilities they do not enjoy where they
now live.
These ideas are without founda-
ton. They might as well start in
search for the bag of gold at the
end of the rainbow. 1t is as absurd
as the search once made for the
fountain of youth.
The biggest money today is paid
for ideas. Ideas that are practical,
can be applied to present day indus
tries and thereby converted into
money.
The greatest ideas like the great
est men of the world are generally
originated or born in some small
out-of-the-way town or even on the
farm.
This being the age of mechanical
industry offers greatest opportuni-
ties to men of mechanical turn of
mind. Inventions should be in de-
mand which will improve the pres
ent day machinery. much of which is
! far from perfect and very inconveni-
ent and inefficient. Yet for lack of
an idea we go on for years using
what we have.
Occasionally we read where some
farmer boy down in Kansas or Mis-
! souri, has won fame by putting an
idea into execution and we no long
er have the bulky. unhandy ineffi-
Client tool or piece of machinery,
That farmer boy might have come
from this locality as well as any
other, but for lack of encourage
ment and appreciation for his eff

SAVING THE ELK

A check-up Of the elk In Yellowstone
National park, last stronghold Of these
largest members Of the deer family
shows a dlscouragingly small number
there, and It Is now feared that many
more have perished than had been
thought. The elk's existence depends
upon his freedom to wander from the
highland SHOWS to the shelter and for
age Of the valleys below. Early bllz-
yards drive him outside the protection
Of the national reservation into the
midst Of the open season for hunting
In the two adjacent states.
The southern herds follow the riv.
ers, which flow out Of Yellowstone In
all directions, to fhe famous Jackson
Hole country, once the haunt Of BAN
dts and cattle thieves, where human
life now Is safe but where the influx
Of civilization spells death for the elk.
The northern herds when driven by
snowstorms usually descend into the
Montana borderlands where settle
ments have flung barrier for wild
animals across the edge Of the park.
Wholesale shooting Of the elk has
been the first consequence In the past.
Much Of this shooting, according to
reports received In Washington. does
little credit to sportsmanship. Some
nlarksmen have not troubled to follow
and capture animals they have wound
ed. Their sheltered life In the nation
al reservation has made the elk tame !
and they wander into many bact-
yard to and unexpected enemies.
But this shooting does not mark the
climax Of the tragedy. As noted, the
settlements have cut of the grazing
lands. There Is some provision for
tn, southern herds, though woefully
inadequate. but practically nonei for
the northern herds.
The protection afforded the elk
which STRAY into Wyoming is THAT Of
the state game preserves, known as
the Hoodoo Shoshone and Teton.
Further protection Is that afforded In
q limited way by the winter elk fefuge
at jackson, Wyo.. founded by the bio
logical survey. There hay Is raised
for feeding the elk, but some SEASONS
far from enough has been on hahd for
the feeding Of the thousands forced
out Of the park, and even out 4 ths
reservations, by the early winter
In ordinary and mild wintersl such
as the present one the animals remain
In the park; In more severe winters,
when the cold and SHOWS come late,
the preserves and the refuge have
taken care Of many Of them.
