From the standpoint of the unusual, Bryan's stay at the White

OLD GLORY
BY Ruth


We all know that we love orr
flag the best. For of all the signs
and symbols since the world began
there is none other so full of
meaning as the flag of our country.
1t is the full grown flower of
ages of fighting for liberty. Our
Tag stands for humanity and for
equal opportunity to all men. It's
spirit is the spirit of the Ameri-
can people. Its history is the his
tory of the American nation.
Our flag is the third oldest of
the national standards of the world
June IA. 1777, is observed as
flag day throughout America.
1t is estimated that Betsy Ross
and a few of her friends made
our first flag. They decided they
would have the flag of the thirteen
united states to be the thirteen
stripes alternating red and white,
and that the union be thirteen stars
and they should be white on a
field of blue. Red for va1or; white
for hope and purity; blue, the col
or of heaven. for reverence to God
and Loyalty.
The flag rose first over the thir-
teen states along the Atlantic sea-
board. Today it flies over forty
eight states and over great islands
OF both oceans. Love and sacri-
flee have brought it TO this proud
position. Let us always give it
honor and loyalty.
When you see the stars and
stripes displayed, face the flag,
stand at attention and salute.
When Star S~pang1ed Banner is
played, get up, even if you rise
alone, stand there and don't be
ashamed because:
Your heart and my heart
And oh how much it holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its foldi
Your hart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight:

OUR FLAG
tBy Mikkel Hilde)

10y Nlihhel f1llue)
Our Flag has seven red stripes
and six white stripes. The forty
eight stars stand for the number OF
states in the Union. The union
now contains forty-eight stars, ar.
ranged in six horizontal and eight
vertical rows, each star points up
ward. If a state is entering the
union a star will be added to the
union of the flag, and will take
effect on the fourth day of July.
Washington wanted Betsy Ross
to make a six pointed star but she
made a five pointed star. When a
state entered the union they were
going to add a star and one stripe,
so they decided to add one star
The thirteen stripes showed the
number of the colonies.
The flag should be displayed on
ly from sunrise to sunset and then
be taken down. When we pull the
flag up We should pull it briskly
but should lowered it slowly and
tremendously. The flag should be
displayed ON all national and state
holidays.
When the flag is carried with a.
mother flag or flags, the United
States flag should be on the right
side always. The flag should not
be any higher than the other flags.
The flag of United States should
be first hoisted and lowered last.
When the flag is displayed in the
window, it should be displayed
with the union or blue field to the
left of the street.
When the flag is used for a
speakers platform, the flag, is dis
played flat, should be displayed
above and behind the speaker. 1t
should never be used to cover the
speakers desk.
Flags flown from fixed stats
are placed at half-staff to indicate
mourning. When used to cover a
casket the flag should be placed

BRING THEM TO MONTANA

Not long ago, many of the larger cities appealed to the east
ern railroads to give serious consideration to reduced vacation
rates in order to encourage Americans to "see America first.
Government reports show that about 100000 Americans an
nually travel to Europe. They spend in the neighborhood of
SSOOOO0,OO0 a year and it isn't spent for travel in this country.
Europe gets the golden flood. 1t isn't used to buy tickets on
American railroads, but if those millions were spent in Amer
lea in travel, the railroads with low rates, would undoubtedly
get the major portion of it. 1t would be new business and serve
to bolster what the railroads maintain are decreasing revenues.
Surprising those 100000 Americans were travelling in their
own country. They would be building up the cities and would
aid materially in bringing back prosperity which has been on
what we all believe is a temporary vacation. These Americans
would aid in developing territory now served by the railroads,
thus adding to new business for the lines.
Many of the down-easterners who are addicted to the Euro
pean travel habit, have never seen their own country. They
haven't viewed the wonders of the west and are not likely to
enjoy that privilege, SO long as they find travel to Europe cheap
er than travelling in their own country.
Montana and other states of the northwest appreciate the
Importance of what for want of a better word, may be called

AN ANSWER IN THE SOIL AND RIVER

In the opinion of an economist America faces the dole system un
less the federal government starts works on a large scale and does it
soon.
Alright, why not make one of the first projects a irrigation ss-
tenn on the Missouri flats between Oswego and Brockton. a survey
was nee made by the government of a part of that land. Such a
project is practicable and would provide labor while under construct
ion and when finished would have an important economic place in
the successful development OF this region. 1t would supplement the
rain-gran farming and the stock raising or the uplandsa The soil
has been proven productive for alfalfa, sugar beets, beans, potatoes
and many other intensive farming crops.
a small tract of land with crops made reasonably sure by triga-
ton is lone of the few answers to the problem of the unemployed. It
would be wise economy for the government to complete such a sys
tenn and not burden the first settlers on it with the heavy construct
ion charges. Let the farmers pay the maintenance charges from the
time the water is ready to use.
There are tens of thousands of acres of rich irrigabe soil along
the north side of the Missouri river, now not producing the one humid
redth part of its potential possibilities. Let the soil and the abundant
waters OF the river feed a few of the horde OF unemployed and hungry
whom the government will soon have to feed or allow to perish.

sPEED-ITs RESULTS AND CAUSES

Auto accidents, some of them with serious results, have become
so numerous IS to be alarming-eyen appalling. A single word stands
as the reason for a extremely high percentage of all car accidents
It's SPEED Of course there re a variety of reasons for the speed
-fntoxicaton, recklessness, inexperence and Incompetence.
A drivers license law in every state would seem to be the
entering wedge for partial control of the situation. But of course
the Montana legislature refused to pass such a progressive measure.
Possibly the situation will come to such a serious stage that cars not
throttled to a limited speed will not be allowed Oh the highways.
Something must be done and the makers of automobiles will do
we'll to take the initiative. Already the menacing danger the crazy
or incompetent driver brings to the highways has married the pleas
ure, discounted the usefulness and increased the cost of motoring.

to Cincinnati in special train leaving
Washington Friday night.
The death of Speaker Longworth

MT. Longworth served his fellow

COMMISSION ACTS
TO ANSWER PEPCO
Utilities Group to Send Re.
quest for Legal Advice to
Brides Office Today.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day appeared to have accepted the
challenge of the Potomac Electric Power
CO. to go to court about Washington
electric rates.
At its regular meeting the commits
-'2n considered at length the action
II the corporations board of directors
'2st Wednesday, fatty refusing to enter
into any compromise with the COM
mission looking to reduced rates. Finally
1t was decided to send to the corpora
ton counsel's Office a list of possible
courses of action, and ask for legal ad-
vice on which would be the best to
pursue.
Bride on Sick Leave.
The list will be sent up sometime this
afternoon. Corporation Counsel Will
liam w. Bride is away on sick leave,
and not expected to return until next
Tuesday. The commission will not
make public the nature of the possible
courses of action to be submitted TO
Mr.. Bride, but judging from the tone
OF their letter to the power company Of
March IA, they intend to take the mat
ter to court.
The present disagreement between
the commission and the corporation
has been brewing since December 80,
when the commission found as a fact
that the return enjoyed by the COM
pany on its agreed valuation since the
present consent decree regulating rates
went into effect in 1924 was too high.
Since that time there have been two
conferences with power company Of
f1cialS in an effort to arrive at some
compromise, neither of which yielded
anything.
Company Declines Plan.
The commission suggested at one time
that the consent decree be modified so
as to change the 7l2 per cent return
allowed to the company before rate
reductions are made to 634 per cent
and also to make other changes as the
company's earnings increased
The company declined to accept this
suggestion. In its letter of March II
the commission pointed out that it had
the power to revalue the company's
properties at any time should the COM
pany not go with 1t on the matter oil
modifying the consent decree.
The commission accepted the pro-
posal OF the Chesapeake & Potomac

for the installation of hand-set tele-
phones, with no extra monthly charge
or to charge each consumer $3.50 for
the new type telephone, payable in IS
cent monthly installments dating back
to June 80. 1880.
Schedule Is Filed.
The company's schedule was filed
without either approval or disapproval
and will remain in effect until the
commission decides to take any other
action with respect to it.
The telephone company has in
formed the Public Utilities Commits
sion that only the usual installation
charge will be made to hand-set users
when they move and that they will
not be forced again to pay the $3.50
charge for the phones after they have
done so once. The company pointed
out. however, that the instruments re-
main the property of the company and
the amount paid for the privilege of
having a hand set in ones home or
office does not purchase the instru-
ment.
