FIRST FLAG IN BATTLE

The question of when and where the American
flag with stars and stripes first carried in bat
tie has been the subject of much controversy among
historians since the Revolution. In fact in
spite of the Betsey Ross tradition the origin of the
flag is uncertain
1t is matter of history that the flag of 13 stars
and 13 stripes adopted by Congress June Ia,
1777, but the exact date which the first flag was
made is unknown.
AS the flags first display in battle, there have
been conflicting claims. Until recently it was gen.
orally supposed that this occurred at Fort Schuyler
N. Y, August 3, TIT, when that post beseig-
ed by the British The flag used that occasion
said to have been made from a blue jacket and a
soldiers wifes red pettcoat, with stars cut from
white shirt.
War Department officials who have recently
made researches with view to clearing up the
matter declare that the evidence favors Coochs

he made study of farm conditions
and it is his opinion that condi-
tons are better in Minnesota than
any other state which he visited
Speaking of the present situation
in the real estate market Mr.. Ho-
falling said: cit is my belief that
shrewd investors and farmers look
ing for homes are taking advantage
of the fact that Minnesota land
prices are at the bottom and are
buying now. Farms that have been
taken by banks, insurance compan-
les and others on mortgages are
being bought up and the surplus
of farms for sale is quietly but
steadily being eliminated. In GER
tain sections of the state, accord
ing to newspaper information, this
surplus has been exhausted and
the price of land is raising. AS 9th
er sections relieve themselves e
this land which mas been a drug on
the market for the last few years
/ they also will experience raise in
land prices and we will be back to
normally as far as land sales and
values are concerned"

ton in bulletin issued today
warns the public to promptly re-
port to health authorities any
symptoms among children which
may indicate the disease. The
health bulletin declares that if Min
nesota exercises rigid authority,
any outbreak like that which oc-
Cured in 1916 may be prevented.
Despite years of research the
real cause of the infection is un-
known; hence no definite rules
can be laid down in regard to pre-
vention," declares the bulletin
During the latter part of the
summer, any child with an unex-
planned stomach or intestinal dis
turbance and a temperature up to
102 degrees, with discomfort out
of all proportion to the symptoms
should be kept apart from other
children for few days and the
family physician called. Pains in
the neck, back and limbs, general
weakness and clumsiness about the
fourth day of illness mark the on
set of paralysis and may establish
the diagnosis. Then strict quar-
antine must be established.
after the first week of the di
sease, the second and most diff
cult period begins, namely-tht
period of rehabilitation. Neigh
bors are usually prolific with adj
vice at this time; suggestions rang

skunk oil to long and vigorous per
iods of walking. This creates &
very difficult situation for the at

BETTER DEMAND FOR FARMS
IN STATE SAYS HOTALING

Increased interest in Minnesota
farms is being shown this year and
there is every indication that there
will be an Improvement during the
coming months in land sales &C
cording to H. G. Hotaling, secre-
tary of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association.
Mr.. Hotaling has drawn his con-
illusions from interviews with per-
sons in close touch with the farm
situation in Minnesota, from the
number of inquiries being received
by the Association concerning
farms and from articles that have
appeared in Minnesota newspapers
in recent weeks.
OF special interest is the state
ment of the president of one of
Americas leading insurance COM
panies with immense holdings of
all the states in which his COM
pany does business, farm loan con-
ditions are best in Minnesota This
official says that his company is
receiving prompt returns on it's
Minnesota mortgages, that foreclos-
ures here are few and that there is
demand for land which the COM
pany may foreclose on here. Sub
lstantiating this viewpoint, is an
other statement made by officials
| of the Minnesota Rural Credits
Board to the Ten Thousand Lakes
! Greater Minnesota Association to
the effect that payments are being
made more promptly on farm loans
than in several years and that there
is greater demand for foreclosed
farms than in the past.

DRY POLITICAL BONES WILL RATTLE IN
FINDING SUCCESSOR TO THE LATE
CONGRESSMAN KVALE

The sudden death of Congressman Kvale, of
the Seventh district, last week, has caused furry
among the politicians and near statesmen.
Governor Christensen will call special election
within short time to a successor.
Mr. Kvale hardly cold before candidates.
potential and active began to bob up from almost
every quarter of the district.
From st. Paul the report that former
Congressman A j. Volstead who buried by the
late M Kvale when the latter entered congress-
might be candidate if there insstent de-
mand from the citizenry
During all the years volstead served the Seventh
district he played lone and selfish hand. When
he in real trouble, politically the average Re
publican did not rush to his rescue in great num-
bers. AS candidate this year he probably would
not carry single county in the district
The ableSt man suggested to date is Jim Nor
rison, editor of the Morris Tribune.
Mr. Morrison is a real political economist and
has never fell for any of the political vargaries which
has found fertile ground in the Seventh dis
trict. He is Scotch instead of Norwegian. On the
whole shedding would be pretty tough for Jim.
Attorney Frank Murphy, of Wheaton who de-
serted the Republican party last fall to support AL
Smith, has been suggested as Republican cand-
date. Frank was not very successful in lining up the
Seventh for the Democratic candidate for President
Mr.. Murphy has been the most persistent calamity
bowler in the Northwest in late years. The Herald
is of the opinion that the voters of the Seventh
would not cuddle very closely to Mr. Murphy as
congressional candidate.
Paul Kvale a. son of the deceased congressman
and his private secretary will be candidate
coed his father. Victor Lawson, Socialist state
ator from Kandiyohi county, has his political light
ming rod out Then there is Magnus johnson.
AS son of the man who lost his life under such
sad circumstances Paul Kvale will command large
sympathetic vote. Before he entered congress his
father was a Norwegian Lutheran minister Paul
has several elements of strength which will COM
mend him to the voters of the Seventh.
1t will be great scramble and the ablest can
ddate will likely be defeated.

MILLION DOLLAR SALE

Sounds big, and it is big event each year In
Munice, Indiana.
The Munice merchants go together each year
(this being the fifth year. of the event) and place
their entire stock of merchandise on sale for three
days during the month of August. They all use
space in the two daily newspapers in announcing
their specials and combined space advertising the
event for several days prior to the appearance OF
their individual announcements. Below the coop
erative advertisements the merchants names are
listed The issues containing the individual sales ads
are usually twenty to thirty pages. Big signs are
erected all over the city and adjoining towns adj
vertising the event and usually some street carnival
event is held for the free entertainment of the visit
ors this of course added inducement to attract
visitors to the city during the sale.
The combined stocks total million or more dol
lars and it is therefore referred to the million

PUBLIC NOT EXCITED

In recent Washington news letter VIM. L.
Daley, of the National Editorial Association refers
the fact that current issues before Congress do
appear agitate the public to the extent that
the legislators would like He says:
"Other topics outrank by far the questions IN
which Senators and Representatives have person
al interest Legislators regard it healthy
sign when they share second-rate positions in the
reading public's daily bill Of fare"
It is probably true that the general public takes
far less interest dongs of Congress than poit
clans suppose In other words, the public does not
take politicians seriously as they take them
selves Even a red-hot Senate investigation leaves
majority of people cold in spite of the efforts OF
sensational newspapers to make the most of it.
People are interested in things which directly
concern them to an appreciable extent The average
citizen has enough problems of personal nature to
occupy his mind and does not get excited over mat
tiers which only remotely affect him.
And nothing before Congress at the present mo-
ment not even the tariff is of sufficient Importance
to the average person to him to worry much

recent statement of the Department of Agriculture.
Last year more than $4,000 tons of concentrated
milk for poultry feed produced in the Unit

product promises to become important factor in
providing an added source of income to the dairy
farmer who is unable to all his skim milk for

No longer is the banana regarded
