SHOWING RESPECT FOR
THE AMERICAN FLAG.

No real American needs to be
told to reverence and respect
his flag. No real American ever
fails in showing respect to the
Stars and Stripes.
Sometimes a real American
may fail in respectful treatment
of his flag from lack of knowl-
edge that what he does is not
respectful. There is occasion to
decarAte-April 26, thirtieth Of
May, July the Fourth, Washing
tons birthday OF what not-no
matter what the occasion may
be. Mr.. American Citizen gets
out a lot of American flags and
drapes his place. of business or
his house. He drapes the flag
in rosettes, in festoons in criss-
cross and circles. And he does it
because he thinks the American
flag the most beautiful in the
world, and wants to honor the
occasion with his flag. 1t doesn't
occur to him that he is doing
wrong, or that his pretty curli-
cues and intertwined streamers
are a desecration of his flag.
1t is therefore unfair to
blackguard him as unpatriotic,
or ridicule him for lack of taste,
what is to be done is to edu-
cate him. he is to be taught
that the flag, representing the
heart and soul and ideals of
this country, is never to be used
as decoration for something
elsel 1t must be treated as a unit
in itself. 1t must hang free, or
be stretched flat against a wall
or house; never draped in ro-
settes or circles. Tel the often
der he can use all the red, white
and blue bunting he wants in
any shape his fancy dictates;
tell him he can make his ro-
settes and his drapes of any
thing he pleases, but that the
American flag is The American
Flag, to be honorcd with tho
first place, and the finest posi-
ton, the utmost freedom, and
never to be twisted or tied or
curled or draped SO that it be-
comes a mere establishment to
something else.
Nothing comes ahead of the
flag!

story to cover his own shortcom-
ings. Same way with most sto-
ries which have to do with
disappearance" The alleged
victim just naturally wants to
get away from certain asso-
ciates and maybe from his own
family and simply vanishes for
all time. No doubt about it,
most of the folks who are now
breaking into the news columns
as mysteriously disappearing"
are very much alive but far
away from their old haunts.
It would be surprising to most
folks to know that in most
cases the two classes of news
stories here mentioned are fakes
pure and simple, concOcted and
palmed off on the newspapers
and the news associations to
cover up some raseality on the
part of the alleged victim who
usually gives the story out as
news.

BEACON LIGHTS
OF BUSINESS.

Along perilous coasts, light
houses throw their guiding rays
far into the night to warn the
mariners and help them safely
past the shoals.
Business, too has its beacons.
They are the advertisements,
which throw powerful light to
guide you in your buying. They
show you what to buy, where to
buy and when to buy.
Spend few minutes a day
running through the advertise
ments in this paper. Then buy
the products that have proved up
in the light of advertising.
Merchants ..41 manufacturers
who adverse deliberately focus
thousands of eyes on their prod
ucts. Their wares must be good,
their values honest and their
prices right or they could not
advertise successfully.
In the advertisements you see
products that have made good
under the critical inspection of
buyers. These products are full
value products, They return
you dolalr for dollar. Buy
them.
Let the beacon of advertis-
ing guide you as it is guiding
so many astute buyers.
Then you can know that ev-
cry cent you spend buys it's full
quota of value.

TAKING THE NEWS
WITH GRAIN OF SALT.

1t has got to be an almost
daily occurrence in newspaper
offices that news to the effect
that some man or other has
disappeared" from home under
mysterious circumstances, or
that man who is supposed to be
carrying large sums ot money
is "sandbagged" by some lone
highwayman, and that after
wards he turns up with some al
most incredible story of his dis
appearance or Of the way he was
knocked out"
1t seems that the Associated
Press lately have "fed' us up on
such stories to the exclusion of
other news. Unless the happen
ing is within the state, such items
are of little news value.
Our theory is that, as a rule,
when a man is supposed to have
any money at all about his per-
son and is met with so called
foul play at the hands of anoth-

ployer which is stolen and not

ALABAMA'S PLANS FOR
MANUFACTURING PLANTS.

Every state and community in
that state has it's own plans for
getting manufacturing plants To-
Gated in its community. Over in
Alabama several cities are MAX
ing a drive for new industries
and as usual they are adopting
methods different from others
to induce manufacturers to turn
their way. Selma and Mongom-
cry are particularly active just
now, judging from the Alaba-
ma exchanges which come into
our office. The Montgomery Ad-
vertiser in commenting on a
speech recently delivered in that
city on the location of new
plants says:
"The investing people of
Montgomery have the capital
necessary to belt this city with
industrial enterprises. There
may not be among them the
skilled specialist needed to oper-
ate the plants, but they can find
this talent. They will find, too
that the bigger interests outside
viii be more ready to come to
Montgomery once they find that
local capital is willing to invest
with them. Factories have the
herd instinct like sheep. Once
the bellwether leads Soff toward
new field; Others follow. If
ever we get the factory ball to
rolling toward Montgomery, it
will not stop, hut will gather
weight and increase its size reg
ularly." a-ar
Over at Selma, that city is
offering to new manufacturing
plants as an inducement for
coming to Selma, that taxes will
be free for a period of years,
ten years we believe it is.
1t may be all right for a city
to make such an inducement,
but it seems to US that Of itself
alone would not be a drawing
card if we we've "a manufacturer
and hunting a location. Manu-
facturers, as a rule, are busi-
ness men, and they go to
place not SO much to accommo-
date that place, but to make
money and they therefore ex-
pect to share their part of the
burdens falling upon the city.
We believe it poor policy for
any city to make the tax-free
campaign the one and only in
ducement to offer the manufac-
turer.
We believe that much good
time is literally wasted by cham-
bers Of commerce. going after
the big fellow when their atten-
tion should be directed to the
little fellows. More would be ac-
eomplished and besides a small
city would be benefited more to
have several small concerns that
make variety of articles than
one large one That turns out
just one product.

The dinosaur is seen no more,

Old Cheops, hid in his pyramid,
Win never awake from sleep;

But Willard is coming back!

And Moses is meath the clod,
Samson the strong has joined the throng
Under the grassy sod;
Caesar is through, Napoleon too
Will never again attack,
