THE AMERICAN FLAG.
(By Stafford King, Minnesota LIZ
. gion Adjutant)

When the American Flag was ere
ated,
God, in His infinite wisdom,
Blessed it as a symbol of freedom,
Inspired it as thing of beauty,
And wrote it deep within His book,
"A Melody of Service.
1t is fashioned
With the gold and CLEAN of the stars
Against the vaulted azure of sum-
mer sky;
1t is spaced with the sheen of sill
vered moon
Upon the pure sweet snow
Which CLEANS from the lily's petals;
And striped with the crimsoned
flame
Which leaps and glances
From the ruby's heart.
Within its Blue and White and
Red
Is embodied all there, is
Of Liberty, Justice and Democracy,
Sanctifed to US by Blood and Tears
Mothers tears,
Which shine thru sacrifice
Like glistening pearls
Beneath the softly undulating waves
of Southern Seas;
And blood of men who died,
As One has died upon the Cross
That other men might live.
To such a Flag Americans can
say: ....
"Whither thou goest, / will go,
And whittier thou lodgest, | will
: lodge:
Thy people shall be my people,
And thy God, my Cod.

Minnesota has long felt the need

patients. At Aberdeen Hospital, in
st. Paul, where such patients are
now confined, the accommodations
are inadequate, and a competent
staff finds it difficult to give proper
: treatment under present conditions
=. The hospital originally was intend
ed merely as receiving center but
so many patients requiring immedi-
ate attention were admitted that the
institution evolved into a perman-
ent clinic. ---.-.....- ,....

will insist that it be placed in sur

tim, not too far from expert med.

Brazil Business Man Declares
Government Afraid to Send
Troops to Fight

Montevideo, Uruguay, July IT,
Fighting between the Brazilian
government forces and insurrec-
tionists at Sac Paulo is continuing
without advantage to either side,
according to authoritative advices
received here early today. Recent
arrivals from Santos declared that
port is virtually closed and the
situation extremely grave.
A prominent South American,
who arrived in Montevideo, from
Santos, in an interview asserted
the rebels at Sac Paula apparently
were in control and that the fed
eral' troops beseiging the metro
polls have been unable to dislodge
them.
IL can state that the resolution
aries have been masters Of the sit
uation since the first moment,
said the South American. "On the
day of the outbreak, state president
Da Campos was obliged to seek
refuge in Rio Janiero. The re-
bells engaged in the fighting num-
ber about 10000, not counting the
large contingent of Civilians who
morally support the revolutionary
movement.
"The reason no decisive action
is being fought is that the gov
ernment fears big battle as it
has no faith in it's soldiers. 1t is
afraid they will go over to the en-
emy any time. There is no doubt
but what the rebels can gain pos
session of Santos when they wish
to do So"
