War Bond Elephant
Taken by Pranksters

Simeon Lupton's wooden ele-
plant has strayed; and he wants
him back.
The five feet high signboard,
which has stood for years in
front of the Lupton home, 3104
North avenue, was stolen Mon
day night-presumably by Hal
loween pranksters who weren't
really so very funny.
The sign is used as patriotic
reminder of the necessity for
purchasing war bonds.

Let the chips fall where they
may but we have had a
number of persons call our at
tention to flags in various parts
of the county, including some on
public and quasi-public build
ings, which fall into the cate
CORY of neglect.
It's a dishonor to the flag to
fly II in q dirty and tattered
condition. when warships are
in battle, or q military point
Is under siege, Old Glory can
be pardoned for taking a lot
Of scuffing and Old
Glory can take 1t!
But the authorities in charge
of a public building or the
janitor or caretaker or the
merchant or private citizen fly
ing the nations flag should keep
it in clean and proud condition,
and replace 1t when it reaches a
disreputable stage. The old
flag should be burned with rev.
erence not on rubbish
heap, but appropriately folded
and respectfully destroyed. 1t
should not be kept around where
it will lie among junk or refuse
II it is kept it should be
preserved in a box or on an in
side wall as a patriotic souvenir.
Folks, look to your flag to-
day. II you see 1t being
flown in any condition de-
tracing from its honor
politely request the authority
In charge Of that flag to pay
1t the respect it demands.

steep. they had lowered ladder
into the stream
Suddenly the ladder slipped
on the river bottom and both
husband and wife were
thrown head first into the
river. Neither could swim.
BY dint Of splashing and
plunging, the near-drowning
couple made their way to a
shoal we'll out in the river, and
from that reached shallow
water and the opposite bank.
Then, soaked to the
skin, they were obliged to ira
