THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES The celebration of Flag Day, as conducted all over the country on June 14, is not merely an occasion for the exhibition of surface emotion; nor is it designed simply to provide an opportunity for public display; nor to arouse temporary patriotic enthusiasm. Its purpose is to teach, in an entertaining and effective manner, what the American Flag really typifies: to impress anew upon the minds of all. the history that has glorified it; and to inspire in every heart that true patriotism which prompts to peace time loyalty and devotion no less than tc war time sacrifice. President Wilson, in an elo quent address on Flag Day, in 1917, said: “But one may live as well as die for a flag and for the ideals which it svmboliy.es. Every flag that floats free in the breeze is a living thing. It speaks with the voice of the great past and the mighty present. It is a challenge tn us, the Americans of today. ’ The fhig has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours." Flags symbolize the noble aspirations and glorious achievements of the human rare; they epitomize the romance of history and incarnate the chivalry of the ages. Their origin dates from the time when Jehovah made a covenant with man to never again cover the face of the earth with water, and unfurled the first flag—the multi-hued banner of the rainbow. Around the bits of varicolored! bunting which the people of each j land nominate as a national flag there cluster thoughts of patriotism, of personal sacrifice which has moved the world forward from the days when each man struggled for himself alone, like other wild animals. The prestige of our flag was achieved by the practice of civic virtues and steadfast adherence to the principles of democracy. Patriotism is more than a sentiment; loyalty is more than an expression. Piercing the clouds of war that enshroud the civilized World, there shines forth in effulgent light of freedom and justice the emblem of the hopes, the ideals.; and the achievements of America, the standard of honor and of victory, the Flag as the United States. Its stars and stripes voice the spirit of America; to live the tenets of Christianity, to teach the gospel of work and usefulness, to advance education, to demand purity of thought and action in public life, and to protect the liberties of f-ee government from the aggressions of despotic power. It is the-sym-bol of Light—the bapner of Dawn. o GERMINATION TESTS In a letter received by County Agent Parker, of Kosciusko county. on Wednesday of last week. Prof. Hansen, of Purdue, reports that he has just completed germination tests of Canada thistle seed, collected in the northern third of Indiana last fall. He states that some lots of Canada thistle seed germinated as much as 91 per cent. Many people have the idea that Canada thistle , eeed will not grow here but this test shows that a large per cent of it will grow. o Canada ranks third in the world as a gold-producing country, being exceeded only by the Transvaal and the United States. Ontario is now the principal gold area in the dominion producing about 40 per cent of the output.

God bless them! THE MEANING OF A TREE To some folks a tree is just a tree, a stick of wood carrying, foliage. If it is slightly in the way, they remorselessly cut it, down, as if it had no value other than for firewood. To others a tree is a spot of refreshment in the heat of summer, a touch of beauty out of the hands of God in the towns; that man has made. Many of the } older trees are associated with people now gone, who planted I them years ago, and left this noble monument to their love j for their home towns. The older places have famous trees that go; back into early history, like the! Washington elm recently removed in Cambridge. Mass., which dated back to days when this! country’ consisted only of a few* scattered colonies. ! The trees of Syracuse are one! of this community's most valuable possessions. They transform> the scenes of daily life into hem-1 ey neighborhoods, and give the; touch of affection to streets that j otherwise might seem prosaic, I Our people should watch carefully over these trees, and see that they get the best protection that can be given against the insect enemies that raise so much havoc. —-— —o- * — FINED Several Syracuse parties were accused of flirting with the 18th amendment and were hailed into Mayor Sloane’s court in Warsaw this week, who imposed a flue, and a penal farm sentence in one case. • -o ' TO DREDGE CHANNEL The Conservation Department of Indiana has granted a permit to the Syracuse Commercial Club to dredge the channel between Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake. t _4 Or Violett Sheets wishes to announce that she will begin teaching.

10,000 i MURDERS LAST YEAR Statistics compiled by the Prudential Insurance Company covering most of the cities indicates an increase in murder from 9 per 100,000 of population in 1922 to 10.2 in 1923. They show that the homicide rate has doubled in twenty years. The number of murders committed in this country in 1923 shows the regular annual increase in “the American murder wave,” and indicates that we are slowly drifting toward a degree of acquiesence in crime and criminal traits which, if not sternly dealt with, will permeate every stratum of society. The percentage in New York is half that of Chicago, about one-third that in Cincinnati, while Memphis heads the list—twelve times as many as New York. Jacksonville, Fla., a close second, Nashville third. St. Louis has four times as many as New York in proportion to population. The records show that the indiscriminate sale of fire arms, especially by mail order houses, , is one of the most fruitful sources of murderous crimes. n O When the Panama Canal was constructed nobody expected it would be most helpful to Canada. Yet Canadian farmers are sending their wheat to Europe in advance of American farmers who have to depend on railroads tied up with foreign ship owners.

GIANT CYPRESS TREE The fifth oldest known living thing on earth, and the third oldest in North America, is a giant cypress tree in what is known as the Edenborn Brake, in Winn Parish, Louisiana. The age of the tree has been placed at 2,500 years by Professor Herman Schrenk of St. Louis and other scientists who have examined it. According to records, it is exceeded in' longevity only by the Santa del Tule cypress, near Oaxaca, Mexico, 5,000 to 6,000 years old; the dragon tree at Oratava, Islands of Teneriffe, 4,500 years old, the redwood tree, California, 4,000 years old, and the baoab tree, Senegal, 4,000 years old. This tree was 600 years old when Christ was born. It was over 2.000 years old when Columbus discovered America. o — Congress has agreed on a bill to loan $25,000,000 each year for five years to American ship owners to help them install the Diesel Marine engine. Farmers can Wait a year er two. o San Joaquin county, Calif., proposes to plant walnut trees 100 feet apart on either side of roadways, to be cared for as ordinary shade trees. In ten years these trees should yield fifty pounds of walnuts each, the sale of which should provide a fund of nearly $200,000 per year to be applied to road upkeep.
