plain to the government.
II some citizen feels patriotic enough TO
want to raise the flag, and vet doesn't
know Just precisely how the army likes Ia
have It raised, what difference does it
make?
Certainly he means all right. He likes
TO raise the flag or he wouldn't bother
about raising 1t. He has the spirit even
II he isn't up on the letter of the cere-
mony. So let him raise the flag whenever
ne wants to, and quit bothering him about

FINING AN EDITOR Sl5
THE state of Kentucky has what il calls

THE state Of Kentucky has what It calls
i gossip law
The city commissioners of Covington,
Ky. decided to borrow $4,000.
The Kentucky Post printed piece about
it, The Post said: "Those who have held
positions in the city financial department
say that, insofar as they can remember
this is the first time in history that the
city was broke within month after the
June taxes had been collected.
Mayor O'nonovan caused the editor 10 be
arrested, charged with violating the gossip
law Judge Manson fined the editor Sl5
and denied request that the fine be made
large enough TO permit an appeal.
Last week Judge Mansons name was
before the primaries for denomination,
after lively political campaign. The cam
paign was fought almost entirely on the
question of whether he should have made
that fine large enough TO allow the editor
TO appeal. He had been Judge eight years
and, save for that slip-up, had been n good
Judge,
The Judge was overwhelmingly de-
feated.
Which would seem TO establish n Ken
lucky editors right to be fined more than
Sl5 if he wishes to be.
Seriously, this is real right. Many
citizen in many n city has been given a
nominal fine of this kind which under the
law is not appealable, and so prevented
from carrying his case TO n higher court
where he might be indicated. A man
falsely arrested often has no recourse
against those responsible and no means of
clearing his name of an unjust conviction.

improvements
Many and Varied

There is a prevailing idea that
ii does not pay to spend much
time or money on property that is
not one s own, even to making it
more convenient and attractive.
This attitude is sometimes taken
by people who rent house or a
farm year after year, and put up
with unattractive and uncomfort-
able surroundings because they are
always hoping next year they viii
have a permanent place on which
10 put their efforts.
Extension workers. however, have
frequently persuaded rural home
makers to make minor changes. This
can be done if they can be con-
vinced that there is no time like
the present in which TO live, and
that the sooner convenienceg are
added the sooner they will have
time and leisure for lettering their
situation permanently. Many simple
inexpensive improvements can be
made, especially in the kitchen,
to save needless steps and prevent
fatigue.
