THE HOOSIER BANNER:— What Is known as the Indiana state flag has been hoisted over one of the dunes in northern Indiana, whore the state eventually will have a park. ■Few of the people of the state have ever seen the flag, which the law enacted in 1917 calls a banner, and describes thus: Its dimensions shall be five feet and six inches fly by four feet and four inches hoist and the field of the same shall be blue with nineteen stars and a flaming torch in gold or buff. Thirteen stars shall be arranged in an outer circle and representing the thirteen states, five stars in a half circle below the torch and inside the outer circle of stars, and representing the states admitted prior to Indiana, and the nineteenth star, appreciably larger than the others and representing Indiana, placed above the flame of the torch. The outer circle of stars so arranged that one star shall appear directly in the middle at the top of the circle And the word: “Indiana,” to be placed on a half circle above the star representing Indiana and midway between it and the star in the center above it. Rays to be shown radiating from the torch to the three stars on each side of the star in the upper center of the circle. This banner shall be regulation in addition to the American flag, with all of the militia forces of the state, and in all public functions in which the state offcially appears. The act of raising it over a dune may not be taken as official. It was more a mark of sentiment or an indication that Indiana had made a start in the direction of acquiring dune property. A deed for the first parcel of dune land has been delivered to Governor Jackson and one of the sand hills will bear ■his name. The legislature authorized the purchase of land but the money was provided in such small sums that years would elapse before ell the contemplated tract could be paid for. Arrangements are being made to hasten the purchase and insure obtaining the land before it is taken over by private ownership.— Indianapolis News. Forty business men have signed the contract for a Citizens Community Chautauqua here next year and a i copy of same has been forwarded to the Indianapolis office. That's fine, but our work should not end there. I Already more than five hundred . season tickets have been sold, a sufficient number to make the guaran- \ tee safe. If another hundred or two tickets were sold, the money would be divided fifty-fifty between the Chautauqua company and the local organization. We should accept this splendid opportunity/ to place the institution locally on a sound basis. With a few hundred dollars in the treasury we could safely arrange tor several splendid features for next years event, making it the best Chautauqua in this part of the country, increase the patronage and continue as long as interest is maintained. The men in charge of the work here have done splendidly and deserve support and co-operation. We can make it a good one if we will, and we will if a little more effort is made. The coal strike is now well into'the' second week and so far there have 1 been no riots, no bloodshed, no trouble

Evidently it is going 'along just as planned for the only ill effect up to date is the boost in prices and an increased business through the east. But don't jolly yourself that it won't effect you. One of these mornings you will feel chilly and begin to think about winter and you may be surprised to find that fuel will cost you twice as much as before the strike and the local dealer has nothing to do with the price- He must buy his coal at the market price

and sell it accordingly. The Woman's Club of Decatur, in well chosen words has added their endorsement to the movement to acquire and dedicate a suitable memorial to the memory of Gene Stratton-, Porter and her work. They have pledged their assistance and that means much to the cause for their organization is a large and capable one. The efforts to continue the “back to nature” thoughts originated and told in verse and prose by the talented Mrs. Porter, will go on in this county and will culiminate in a memorial and the marking of Limberlost Trail. Maybe they have been dunmping some of that bootleg whiskey into the St. Marys river at Fort Wayne and perhaps the committee may find that to be the cause of the fish being in a stupor. Whatever the source of slaughter, it is now definitely understood that the cause is right there in their own yard and not twenty miles away. And that’s a good thing to keep in mind.

One day when I was very small I fell against the garden wall; And smarting with the hurt and pain 1 kicked that wall with might and main. Struck at it with my little fist And bruised my hand and sprained my wrist. I screamed with rage, as children will Who fancy things have done them ill, With more of anger than of pluck Again that so'id wall I struck. Resenting what had gone before I madly hurt myself the more. Th ; s was the error of a child! How oft at such a scene we’ve smiled

RESENTMENT

And.yet how often still does age Seek comfort in defiant rage. Thinking in bitterness to find Sweet consolation for the mind! When grief has hurt us. as it must. We cry aloud: "God is unjust!” We strike at faith, that solid wall Which shelters and sustains us ali. Not knowing when our hearts are sore Resentment only hurts us more. In bitterness no comfort lies. No t»ar of sorrow hatred dries: Who turns upon his God in grief F nds endless woe in disbelief. Who cries that faith in God is vain Condemns himself to greater pain.
