American FlGg
In Postoffice Building

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-What is
probably the largest American flag in
continuous use hangs in the court OF
the post office department building on
Pennsylvania avenue in Washington.
The flag. suspended from the level
of the eighth floor, reaches down to
the third. 1t would make a good hefty
load to carry around, since it weighs
80 pounds. Accurate measurements
of the banner show it to have a fly
of 10 feet four inches, hoist 81 feet,
field 20 feet by 2S feet. The stars ara
80 icnhes between the tips and the
stripes are a yard wide.
It is literally as big as a house, since
a comfortable six room bungalow
could be built on the space it would
cover.

Answering the City's Call.

DR.. KENYON l.. BUTTEEFIELD Of the
Massachusetts, Agricultural College
has sighted a new danger in the So
cial life OF America. AS president OF
the Country Life Association he
opened its annual conference at Co
lumbia University with speech En-
whick he said that unless a great
Improvement I'm rural education SIS
forthcoming we are likely to develop
n peasant class" In the United States
because OF the increasing social con-
trast between the country districts
and the city.
No doubt education in some rural
districts has not received the atteu-
tion Il should have received, just os
public health In some rural districts
has not been advanced as II has in
the cities. Both are conditions which
will be corrected, aud Il must be re-
mombered that all cities do not regis
ter perfection in schools and IN sani-
lotion.
But Dr.. BUTrrRFIELps vision Of a
peasant class IS far fetched. $50 far

saying, that in most parts Of the
world the peasant farmer So the

The Football Classics.

To-day that football cycle which
we call the classic series viii be
started with the twenty-fifth meeting
of Harvard and Princeton in a rivalry
which dates back to 1877. For weeks
football experts have speculated about
this contest in the cold terms OF foot
bali technic.
Harvard has been established as a
slight favorite. But neither the cold
facts of football form in previous
games this season nor the circum-
stance that the Crimson has the ad-
vantage over the Tigers in the odds
are likely to have even a remote
bearing on the way in which the bat
tie will be decided.
These big football games have q
habit of upsetting predictions as to
their scores and the way in which
tho eleyens Will conduct their cam
paigns. They are hard contests be-
tween we'll conditioned sets Of sturdy
young men who have been primed
for these major objectives-and fight
ing spirit plays an important part in
them. The breaks usually decide
a tumble, an intercepted forward
pass, man getting loose for a long
run, muff and a drop Kick. These
games are man to man encounters, in
which true sportsmanship and clean.
virile competition predominant. They
are the outstanding features Of our
sporting life.
To-day Princeton faces what may
be called a mental hazard. Not since
1896 has a Tiger eleven beaten the
Crimson on a Harvard fed. It IS
true that between 1896 and 1911
there was a break in football rela-
tlons between the two institutions.
But the date stands-it Is twenty-six
years since THOMPSON and BRoKAw
went over the Harvard goal line and
defeated the Johnnies on their own
field, Il to 0.
TO counteract the psychology Of
that fact Princeton presents the truth
that Harvard, in spite OF It's great
success against Yale and other strong
contenders. has not been able TO de-
feat a Tiger eleven since 1916, and
the margin then was only 70 O..
There have been two ties and q
Princeton victory since then.
While It's major rivals have 1t out
IN the stadium Yale will sit by to-
Nay and watch the strategy Of tho
Crimson and the Orange and Black.
Next Saturday IL viii be Yale against
Princeton-and the answer to a most
important question for football at
New Haven.

basket OF Wild Rose Sweetings, was
one of the sensations Of the event
Although he charged the unheard Of
price of four cents apiece for them
they went off like hot cakes. Apple
/ growers offered fifty cents each for
scions for grating purposes and
WILLIS booked scores Of orders at
that figure. Visions of wealth loomed
before him.
But prosperity ever breeds envy.
All the boys for miles around were
out to find that apple tree. They
dogged Willis everywhere he went.
But he lodged them all by stealing
out to his tree only at night, and he
kept right on marketing the apples.
Then two of the boys stumbled on the
tree quite by accident. Just out of
pure mischief and to get even with
Willis for not dividing his good for
tune with them they girdled it--cut
three deep rings around 1t clear
through to the sap. And that was
the last OF the Wild Rose Sweeting.
All this occurred upward of fifty
years ago. but that marvellous fruit
fingers like a perfume in the memo
riN Of Oxford county old timers.
For, In old inhabitant opinion, there
are no apples now like those of long
ago. The fruit of the far Northwest
has largely taken their places. They
are handsome to look at, these Pacific
coast apples. But as for flavor ask
any old farmer who knew the Rambo
the Sopseyvine, the August Sweeting
the Pippin, the Sheepnose, the Pound
Sweet, the Rhode Island Greening-
ask him How the gorgeously tinted
fruit of the Northwest compares in
juicy favor with these former
monarchs of the New England, New
York and Ohio orchards. He will
have no hesitation about giving his
real opinions on the subject, and very
likely he will give them in expletives
