Explain It
BY BERTON BRALEY

~ OAAAb1 O4N lOA@<AAAA3A
THE Grand Panjandrum sits and
thinks
- By the shore Of the sobbing sea,
And whenever the Grand Panjan-
drum winks,
Which he does quite frequentlee,
The Snickery Fish come up to
laugh
Sometimes for an hour or two,
Or maybe it's only an hour and a
half,
But what does that mean to you
The Grand Panjandrum's shape is
queer
And subject to frequent change,
And whether you view him front or
rear,
He's certainly very strange;
He's a circular cone with a spiral
90 twist,
Which Is known to a very few,
I'll tell you more If you still insist,
y But what would 1t mean to you9
When the Grand Panjandrum goes
10 sleep
He shores In a minor strain,
Which causes the Snickery- Fish to
weep
And laugh in a way insane;
But what does all Of this mean to
you?
Why, nothing that I can see =
But the verse is done that had to
do
And that's what it means to me

Rushville Republican


The projected Memorial Park for
Rushville probably will be Of greater
benefit to the next generation than to
the present one, though those who
will be responsible for its coming into
existence expect to derive much
pleasure from it. The city council
and the people of Rushville, in de-
Gliding to add thirty acres of land to
the present city park, have started a
movement that will mean much to the
future Of Rushville, and that will be
Of great service to those who are to
carry on after those now In the mid
die Of life's journey have passed off
the stage of action.
With this idea in mind, it will be
well for the city authorities to pro-
coed carefully and to do nothing with
out giving serious thought to what
effect 1t will have on the coming gen

AT OTHER TIMES, TOO

When Congressman Whazzisname,
home in Indiana for the summer, or
a towns leading citizen fares forth
to deliver the patriotic Grafton at the
Fourth of July celebration, he may
ride to the scene in an automobile
swathed with American flags and
thunder from a platform draped with
the same emblem.
It's all wrong, says the National
Flag Conference, which is calling at
tention to the proper manner in which
to display the American flag.
Briefly, the code is: "a
When carried in a parade with
other flags, the United States emblem
should be at the right Of the line or in
front Of it.
In decorating the speakers plat
form. spread the flag above and be-
hind the speaker and do not use it
for covering the table.
In decorating an automobile. fly the
flag. preferably from the radiator cap;
never use it for draping the car.
Old Glory in Center
When a number of flags are
grouped or displayed from stats. Old
Glory should be in the center or at
the highest point Of the group.
Never fly any other flag above or
to the right of the American flag. 5.
Never dip the colors for any reason
except when saluting the flag Of a
foreign nation.
Always display the flag with the
field Of stars toward the right the
Observers left when on a wall or the
side Of a house.
When hung in the middle of the
street, as between buildings, the union
should be to the north in an east
and-west street, and to the east in a
north-and-south street.
Never use the flag for festooning,
draping or in any similar manner.
For draping, etc., use colored bunt-
ing, the blue above. the white in the
middle and the red below.
Overlapping Improper
Never overlap any pennant or en-
blem on the American flag, or dis
play such above 1t or to the right
of it.
Never use the flag as a covering for
a ceiling.
In displaying the flag in church.
it should be from staff placed on the
congregations right as they face the
clergyman with the service flag, State
flag or other emblem on the left wall
If in the chancel the flag should be
placed on the clergyman's right as
he faces the congregation.
