Wheat was lower last week. The
earthquake leaves thousands In need
of food, but that doesn't help the price
of wheat. Nations always find mon
ey to buy wheat for war, no matter
how high the price. They do not
spend so easily merely to relieve hu-
man suffering.

Kemal Pasha comes back to the
front page by preventing restoration
of the harem in Turkey. 1t was once
as difficult to imagine Turk with
out many wives as a Chinese with
out a pigtail. The pigtail is gone, and
the harem wives are going. Wise Ke.
NAL says that one Turkish wife, OF
the new woman type, is as much as
any one Turk can or ought to own.

Flag Day Titles ,.+s Inspire Casper
Crowds; Impressive Parade Feature

A magnificent assembling of n
organizations. band music. oratory
and inspired crowds featured the
Elks' F.ag Day festivities this morn
ing. Opening with the flag raising
ceremony on the green of the city
hall. continuing with a parade
through the business section and with
another flag raising at the county
court house and closing with the dis.
banding of the organizations at their
starting point. the observance OF the
day could scarcely have been more
impressive than 1t was.
Probably never before has Casper
been able TO celebrate such a beauti-
full ceremony with SO beautiful a
background as it did the raising OF
the national emblem on the staff
erected at the city hall. C. T. Weld
ner. exalted ruler Of the Elks. made
the presentation in a fitting speech
to Mayor John NJ. Whisenhunt who
replied in an appropriate manner. The
Parkerton and the American Legion
bands Joined in playing THE Star
Spangled Banner" while Boy Scouts
raised h flag to the top of the
staff where it will wave throughout
the day.
Before the parade Dick Leferink
flew over the city in his aeroplane
and threw out nearly 10000 copies of
the Elks' Tribute to the Flag.
The flying over the city was an
event in itself. Several clever twists
and turns were made by this accom-
plished pilot for the benefit of the
spectators below. The copies Of the
Tribute were thrown in punches at
different intervals, resembling a flock
of birds as they first scattered. Nc
part of the city was missed.
The lineup OF the organizations on
adjoining streets was also impressive.

flag they stood at salute or un
