The Flag

The Flag should not be raised be-
fore sunrise and should be lowered at
sunset.
On Memorial Day-May Both, the
National flag should be displayed at
half-mast until noon, then hoisted to
the top of the staff, where it remains
until sunset.
CoIors on Parade-When the colors
are passing on parade, or in review,
the spectator should, if walking, halt;
if sitting, arise, stand at attention and
uncover.
When Portrayed-The flag when
portrayed by an illustrative process
should always have the staff so placed
that it is at the left of the picture, the
fabric floating to the right. In cross.
ing the flag with that of another ma
ton, the American flag should be at
the right.
Sixty-eight National organizations
at a recent conference on the Flag
adopted the widely used Pledge of Al
legiance in a slightly modified form
AS revised the pledge will be used gen
orally in the public schools and on all
patriotic occasions. It is the practice
in many schools to use patriotic holi-
days as occasions for instructing pu,
pills in the meaning of the pledge and
of the flag as symbol of the great
Republic The revised pledge follows
II pledge allegiance to the Flag OF
the United States and to the Republic
for which it stands, one Nation, indiv.
isible, with Liberty and Justice for
all"

Making Survey Of Lake
Region for Fish Work
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR TO DE-
TERMINE KIND OF FISH SUIT
ED BEST TO LAKES HERE

To determine the species of fish
best adapted for planting" in some
of the lakes Of Villas county, weeks
study will be made, beginning today
by Prof. George Kemmerer of the
chemistry department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and G. Juday, lee
turer in zoology, to secure biological
and chemical data.
They are going early in the season
to make the study before the vegeta-
ton has grown very much. Their
study of the lakes will be much like
a scientific study of the soil to deter
mine what soil produces the largest
yield per acre of a certain crop. Ger
tain lakes are now known to be adapt
ed to certain kinds of fish only.
For instance in some lakes, there
is much vegetable plankton, growing
near the surface, which later dies,
drops to the bottom of the lake, and
in decaying uses up the oxygen. AS
the summemr advances, and oxygen
in the lower layer of the water is
used up, the fish are forced to move
up higher. Such lake would not be
suitable for trout, for instance as they
thrive better in a northen lake where
the water stays colder and fewer al
gaze grow
Until recently, little was said about
the chemical and physical changes
which take place in a lake and still
less about the effect of these changes
on the animal and plant life in the
lake.
About twenty years ago DR.. E. A.
Birge, now president of the university
started such study of Lake Mendoza
Later the work was EXTENDED to mere
than 200 Wisconsin lakes The United
States Bureau Of Fisheries then car
ried on similar study of the lakes
of Washington and Idaho, and includ
ea 2 few lakes in Oregon and Cali
fo4l4itt. Che Finger Lakes and Lake
George of New York state and few
others have also been studied.

COSTS MORE THAN oNE-FoURTH

Grading in road construction includ-
es virtually everything except paving.
In many cases it means retaining
walls, piling to prevent slides, guard
rails, deep cuts and fills, the blast
ing of large quantities of rock, and
numerous small bridges, in addition
to the clearing of rights of way, ordi-
nary excavation, culverts, and drain
age bitches.
With the same transportation facili-
ties there is not much variation in the
cost of the same type Of paving as
between the different States, but
grading costs rise and fall in differ
ent localities, like the temperature
chart of patient with chills and few
er.
On the sandy plains of the South
west, grading costs are almost moth
ing. In any comparatively level or
rolling country they are low. In hilly
country they advance rapidly, and in
mountainous TSSlOuS ISdCH Lu01I u1ctAl-
mum. Thus no definite figures as to
grading costs can be given.
From 1917, up to March 1, of the
present year, the Federal Government
had helped to build 33,036 miles of
completed roads. These roads in
clude all of the leading types, and are
distributed among all of the forty
eight States. On this work the average
cost of grading was 1883 per mile.
Up to the first of March, of this
year, the average cost of all road i'm
provements in the United States, as
shown by the Federal report, was
$25,562.69 a mile, so that the average
ocst of road making, exclusive of grad
ing, was thus $17,904.69 per mile.
Grading may thus roughly be stated
to cost slightly more than one-fourth
of the total price per mile of road.

servance of Memorial Day is being
prepared by the American Legion and
tentatively, the program will be as
follows;
Starting at the bridge at $50 a. m.

Poppy Day

Memorial Day which comes on Fri
day, May Goth, this year, has been
chosen as Poppy Sale" day by the
Women's Auxiliary and the members
of the Frederic J. Walsh Post of the
American Legion. On that day and
the evening before, the red silk pop
pies made by the disabled in the vet
Grams hospitals will be on sale for
local people. To each poppy lis attach
ed a little sticker bearing the emblems
of the American Legion.
Proceeds of the sale, being made
through practically every Post, will go
toward the Legion's child welfare pro-
gram.
Aside from the monetary considera-
ton, the aim is to educate the public
to honor and respect the poppy, to
wear it on Memorial Day, not as a tag,
but with reverence in memory of the
boys who died for their country.
WE SHALL NOT SLEEP
I'm Flanders Fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing by
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead
Short days ago, we lived, felt dawn,
saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from falling hands we throw
the Torch
Be yours to hold it high;
If We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies
grow
In Flanders Fields"
To all who would do honor to the
living and the dead who gave their
all for their country, the poppy is the
outstanding emblem of respect. Wear
it on Memorial Day.

bullet through his heart

JOHN DlETz PASSES AWAY

John Dietz of Cameron Dam re-
nown died last week in Milwaukee
closing the career of a man who
twenty years ago and for several
years after attracted much more at
tention in Wisconsin from his spec
tacular method of settling his differ
ences with a numbering company. AT
last matters were brought to a eli
max when deputy sheriff one of
the members of a posse sent to arrest
Dietz was killed and Dietz surrender
ed. He was tried for murder and SEN
fenced to state prison for life, after
serving ten years he was pardoned
because of the condition of his health,
and since that time had resided in
Milwaukee. From a legal standpoint.
Ditez was perhaps wrong in most of
his attempts to adjust his troubles
over his property, but in the estima-
ton of many people who followed the
case during the time that it was being
fought by himself and family with no
assistance from the outside world, and
advertised by his opponents as an out
law, he was admired for his courage
and independence in fighting for what
he and many others considered his
just rights. His mind became affect
ed toward the last and was not sur
prising in view of the discouraging
events of his life and his death has
caused a renewal of the sympathy felt
for him in former years.
