NO SUBSTITUTE FOR FLAG

Every community in the coun-
try has some civic Organization
Kiwanis, Rotary Lions, Civitan,
Optimists Clubs, Chamber OF Com
merce, Boards of Trade, CONNER
cial Clubs. Business Mems Lea
que, Womans Clean Town Club
they are many in kind and all good
in intent.
Sometimes they find themselves
without worlds to conquer or
abuses TO correct.
Here is an example for all such
10 follow:
The Scottish Rite Consistory OF
Sioux City distributed free, three
hundred and forty-seven American
flags TO the public schools OF its
city. Each school received large
flag, and in addition a smaller flag
for each room in the school.
The flag is responsible for the
school. Had there been no flag,
and all for which it stands, there
would be no public schools and all
the opportunity they offer to rich
child and poor child alike.
The school is responsible for the
flag; had we no schools, and no
young men and women growing
up in them, we would have no de
tenders OF the institutions for
which the flag stands, no men and
women to glory in its red, white
and blue, stand for it, believe in it,
swear by it, honor it, protect it.
Flags belong in schools. The
school without a flag, to be seen
every day and. all day, is under
equipped. If there are not seats
enough children can, and do at
times, sit on boxes. Where there
are no blackboards, states can be
used. If there are not enough
books, two or more can share a
volume between them.
But THERE is NO SUBSTI-
TUTE FOR THE FLAG
Sioux City Consistory has point
ed the way; every organization in
every truly American community
can follow with profit where they
have led.

ReincarnatiOn.

1t is a fascinating belief. a reaction
from the university desire TO escape

thing under the sun. especially a

Usually street faker "came reg
ularly, once a year" but rarely
twice to the same town, especially
when the Chinese peach trees he
left behind turned out to be dog
wood or black haws.
The street faker flourished before
the days of scientific salesmanship,
OF which he was the original dis
coverer, and many captain OF
industry owes much of his selling
ability to boyhood evenings listen
ing under the gasoline torch.

hold them when they grew rest

The game isn't what it used to
be. The street takers had too much
business ability to continue on a
small scale; they branched out.
Then. too, it's hard to get street
crowd together in these days when
! pedestrians have nearly all taken
to autos, nobody walking.
The street faker is vanishing into
memory, where he stands out clear
and conspicuous, enticing, likeable,
monument to the simple pleasures
and thrills of days when Bryan was
young man and his champions
were vowing not to get their hair
cut until he entered the White

ers, according to- revelations by police

sion of the conflict between the White
Russians, as Kerensky's adherents are
known, and the oBlsheviki, is that the
two men were sentenced to death and
poisoned after being lured to a

The alleged private execution took
place after a quiet investigation had

Kerensky's home in Paris and Rus

Mexican Bandit Threatens
Tampico Oil Pipe Lines
Gorozabe Demands $4,000
Pesos, Says Report From
u. S. Vice-Consul Shaw
from The Tribune's Washington Bureat

From The Tribune's Washington, Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Threaten-
ing to blow up oil pipe lines and pump
ing stations unless he received the pay
ment of $4,000 pesos by to-day, General
Gorozabe, the Mexican bandit leader
operating in the Tampico district, is
again on the rampage, according to ad-
vices received to-day by the State De-
partment from American Vice Consul
Shaw at Tampico.
Consul Shaw said the inform on
came from the La Corona Oil Company,
a British owned concern, which re-
ported that Gorozabe was making his
headquarters at it's Pecero camp. The
message did not disclose from whom
Gcrozabe demanded the $4,000 pesos,
but added that the bandit leader was
becoming more "ugly."
The Pecero camp is twelve miles from
the Aguada camp of the Cortez Oil
Company, an American firm, where Co
rozabe two weeks ago seized the plant
and forty Americans as security for
the payment of $4,000 pesos. Payment
of this sum was. demanded by July 3.
The State Departments adyices did not
disclose whether this ransom or any Of
Gorozabe's demands for money had
been paid.
Consul Shaw said that Mexican Fed
eral troops were now encamped on the
Aguada property, but gave no informa-
tion as to whether the pursuit of the
bandits had been started. The first re-
port of Gorozabe's activities in the
Tampico district said he led q band of
240 weil.armed men.
