By ELMO SCOTT WATSON UNE 14 is Flag day because it was on June 14, 1777, that the Second Continental congress passed a resolution which reads: “Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate’ red and white, that the union I be thirteen stars, white in a blue I field, representing a new constellaI tion,” The original of this historic resolution (a facsimile of which is shown

E T

above), in the handwriting of Charles Thomson, secretary of the Continental congress, is preserved in the archives of the nation. The reason for the thirteen stars and thirteen stripes, as authorized in this resolution, is. of course, that they represent the thirteen colonies or original states which were fighting for freedom from England. Historians have varied in interpreting the meaning of the colors in the flag, and there have been at least 40 different varieties of symbolism attributed to the three heraldic tinctures. However, a recent investigator in the records of the State department found the following meaning of the colors: Red —hardiness and valor, White—purity and innocence, Blue—vigilance,' perseverance and justice. . 5 Flag day this year has a special significance for several reasons. Last year was the sesQuicentennial of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States, the sesquicentennial of its first appearance in the face of an enemy of this country, of its first appearance on the seas, and of its first being carried into hattie. This year marks three important sesquieentennials for Old Glory. They are based upon the following dates and events: January 28, 17'8: First appearance on a foreign stronghold at Nassau, Bahama islands. The Americans captured Fort Nassau from the British, and promptly raised the Stars and Stripes. February 14, 1778: First foreign salute to the Stars and Stripes. John Paul Jones entered Queberno bay, near Brest, France, and received a salute of nine guns from the French fleet, under Admiral La Motte Piquet. Jones had previously saluted the French fleet with twenty-one guns. April 24, 1778: John Paul Jones achieved the honor of being the first officer of the American navy to compel a regular British man-of-war to strike her colors to the new flag. But more important still is the fact that for the first time in history there is a federal statute to preveift desecration of the flag and insignia of tlie United States. Every state in the Union, except one, has at one time or another passed a law to prevent such desecration, but there had never been such , a federal law applying to all parts of Uncle Sam's dominions until March 19 of this year when congress passed the following bill: • - . * Be it enacted, etc., That any person or persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations, or other organization or organizations, who, in any manner, for exhibition or display, place or cause to be placed upon the flag, color, design, standard, coat of arms, or other insignia of the United States, •or upon any intended representation any inscription, picture, design, device, symbol, name, advertisement, words, marks, notice, or token, or who shall possess, distribute, display, or exhibit, or cause to be distributed, displayed, or exhibited any flag, color, design, standard, coat of arms, or other insignia of the United Spates, upon which shall in any manner be placed, attached, annexed, affixed, associated, or mad’s a part thereof, any inscription, picture, design, device, symbol, name, advertisements, words, marks, notice, on tokeii whatever, or who willfully and publicly .show open or hostile contempt for, trample upon, or otherwise deface or defile, any such flag, color, ensign, standard, coat of arms, or other insignia of the United States.

The young will be ready to learn from the old in proportion as their teaching is not thrust upon them. We all have to be learners till the day of our death, and we learn most from, one another. If the young see that the old are as anxious to learn as they are to teach, they will be ready to listen to them, but there is no room now for the attitude of superior wisdom which tries to impose ex-

shall upon conviction be fined not less than SIOO, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both, for each such offense; Provided, that flags, colors, ensigns, standards, coats of arms, or other insignia the property of or used in the service of the United States, or any state or territory, or the District of Columbia, may have placed thereon such inscription, names of actions, words, figures, marks, or symbols as are authorized by law or by the rules and regulations of the United States government or any department or division thereof. Sec. 2. That the words “flag,” “colors,” “coat of arms,” or “insignia” used herein include also any picture or representation or simulation of the same. See. 3. That this act shall not apply to the use, ■wholly disconnected from trade advertising, of the flag, colors, coat of arms, or other insignia of th<4 United States on newspapers, books, cards, certificates, commissions, decorations, banners, pictures, stationery for correspondence, or in or on any article or in any position where Its use is purely and obviously for ornamental or patriotic purposes. See. 4. That this act shall go into effect upon its passage and publication, except as to. goods which shall have been made and marked and in stock at that time, and as to such goods it shall be in force six months after its passage and publication. In fact, it is rather remarkable that our government has paid so little attention to this symbol of the nation, so far as legislation affecting it is concerned. Flag day itself has never been officially recognized, by the government and there is ” no federal law pertaining to the manner of dis-<t playing, hanging or saluting the flag, nor prescribing any ceremonies which should be observed in connection with the flag. The only federal laws dealing in any way with the flag are the following: (1) The act of congress of February 20, 1905, providing that a trademark cannot be registered which consists of or comprises, among other things, “the flag, coat of arms, or other insignia of the United States, or any simulation thereof.” (2) A joint resolution of congress approved May 8, 1914, authorizing the display of the flag on Mother’s day. (2) The act of February 8, 1917, providing certain penalties for the desecration, mutilation, or improper use of the flag within the District of Columbia. (4) The act of May 16, 1918, providing, when the United States is at war, for the dismissal from the service of any employee or official of the United States government who criticizes in an abusive or violent manner the flag of the United States. For nearly 150 years tradition and popular custom were virtually the only guides which American citizens had for the correct methods of displaying the flag and honoring it as it should be honored. However, on June 14 and 15, 1923, a National Flag conference was held in Washington which formulated a flag code and since that time the United States Flag association, a patriotic organization founded for the promotion of reverence for the flag and the ideals and institutions foi which it stands, has been the leader in a campaign of education for general, observance of this code. The outstanding points in this code are as follows: The national flag represents the living country and is itself considered as a living thing. The union of the flag is the honor point: the right arm is the sword arm and therefore the point of danger and hence the place of honor. The flag should be displayed only from sunrise to sunset, or between such hours as may be designated by proper authority. It should be displayed on national and state holidays and on historic and special occasions. The flag should always be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. When carried in a procession with another flag or flags the flag of the United States shall be either on the marching right, or when there is a line of other flags, the flag of the United States may be in front of the center of that line. When displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, the flag of the United States should be on the right, the flag’s own right, and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.

perience and knowledge. It is foolish to claim attention and veneration on the ground of years only. The weakness of old age should be treat- , ed tenderly, just as all other weak ness is treated, but to claim attention simply because of years which may have been spent in lazy acquiescence to existing and conditions is unjustifiable. The wisdom which life has given to those who have al-

ways been learning will make itself felt and will be recognized, it need not be asserted.—Exchange.

When a number of flags are grouped and displayed from staffs, the flag of the United States should be in the center or at the highest point ot the group. • • • When the flags of states or cities or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the national flag should always be at the peak. When flown, from adjacent staffs the flag of the United States should be hoisted first. No flag or pennant should be placed above or to the right of the flag of the United States. When flags of two or more nations are displayed they should be flown from separate staffs of the same height and the flags should be of appiroxi mately equal size. International usage forbids the display* of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony or front of building, the union of the flag shall go clear to the head of the staff unless the flag is at half staff. When the flag of the United States is displayed In a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed the same way—that is, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes, or drapings, of blue, white and red are desired, bunting should be used, but never the flag. When displayed over the middle of the street, as between buildings, the flag should be suspended vertically xvifh the union to the north In an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. When used on a speaker’s platform, the flag should be displayed above and behind the speaker. It should never be used to cover the speaker’s desk nor to- drape over the front of the platform. If flown from a staff it should be on the speaker’s right. • • • When used in unveiling a statue or monumerS. the flag should not be allowed to fall to the ground, but should be carried aloft to wave out. forming a distinctive feature during the remainder of the ceremony. When flown at half-staff, the flag is first hoisted •to the peak and then lowered to the half-staff position, but before lowering the.flag for the day it is raised again to the peak. When the flag is displayed in church, it should be from a staff placed on the congregation’s right as they face the clergyman. The service flag, the state flag or other flag should be at the left of the congregation. If in the chancel, the flag of the United States should be placed on the clergyman’s right as he faces the congregation and other flags on his left. CAUTIONS 1. Do not permit disrespect to be shown to the flag of the United States. 2. Do not dip the flag of the United" 1 States to any person or any thing. The regimental color, state flag, organization or institutional flag will render this honor. 3. Do not display the flag of the United States •with the union down except as a signal of distress. 4. Do not place any other flag or pennant above or to the right of the flag o* the United States. 5. Do not let the'flag of the United States tbucfi the ground, or trail in the water, 6. Do not place any object or emblem of any kind on or above the flag of the United States. 7. Do not use the flag as drapery in any form whatever. Use bunting of blue, white and red. 8. Do not fasten the flag in such manner as will permit it to be easily torn. 9. Do- not drape ihe flag over the hood, top, sides or back of a vehicle, or of a railroad train or boat. When the flag is displayed on a motor car. the staff should be affixed firmly to the chassis, or clamped to the radiator cap. 10. Do not display the flag on a float in a parade except from a staff. 11. Do not use the flag as a covering for a ceiling. 12. Do not use the flag as a portion of a costume or of any athletic uniform. Do no embroider it upon cushions or handkerchiefs or print it on paper napkins or boxes. 13. DO not put lettering of any kind upon the flag. 14. Do not use tne flag in any form of advertising nor fasten an advertising sign to a pole from which the flag of the United States is flying. 15. Do not display, use or store the flag in such a manner as will permit it to be easily soiled or damaged. Bunti-ng of the national colors should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping over the front of a platform and for decoration in general. Bunting' should be arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle and the red below. During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in a review, all persons present should face the flag, stand at attention and salute. Those present in uniform should render the right-hand salute. When not in uniform, men should remove the headdress with the right hand and hold it at the left shoulder. Women should salute by placing the right hand over the heart. The salute in a moving column is rendered at the moment the flag passes.

TON-LITTERS IN I 1927 NUMBER 752 (Prepared by the United States Department : of Agriculture.) The 1927 hog-raisiug contest, in •which swine growers in 29 states coin- , peted was won by Pennsylvania with 126 litters that reached a weight of ; a ton or more each in 180 days, according to Dr. C. D. Lowe, extension animal husbandman of the United States Department of Agriculture. Indiana and Tennessee tied for second place with 80 ton-litters each. Illinois produced 59, Texas 46, Kentucky 43, and Minnesota 40. Wisconsin produced the heaviest litter reported. 12 pigs that weighed 3,59 S pounds at six months of age. Pennsylvania is credited with the largest litter, one of 18 pigs. A total of 752 ton-litters were produced in the -29 states. This year's results again demonstrated the value of well-bred hogs for pork production, for no litter in which pure breeding did not predominate reached the goal of a ton at six months of age. The selection of sows having tlie ability to farrow large litters. as well as the application of improved practices to save every pig farrowed, was also an important factor in the production of these tonlitters, most of which consisted of ten pig§ or more. Feeding tests long have indicated that pigs make the cheapest gains when “crowded” from the time they begin to eat until ready for market. The shorter feeding period lessens the feed required for maintenance and reduces the disease hazard. Another reason for the practice of finishing pigs within six months is that March pigs will be ready for market before the seasonal drop in prices which usually comes about September. The experience of the 192“ ton-litter producers not only proved the advantages of a short feeding period for securing cheap gains and in reducing disease, but also demonstrated the distinct advantage of having the pigs ready for early Marketing. Hog prices “broke” from $2.50 to $3.50, a hundredweight between September and December, causing reduced returns and in some cases heavy losses to growers whose hogs were not ready for market before this period. Although the 1927 contest produced 56 fewer ton-litters than were produced in 1926, this falling off, according to Doctor Lowe, is partly because of the fact that many farmers sold their hogs when prices began to drop in late September. The fact that four of the leading hog-producing states are now giving more attention to the so-called pig crop contests than to single ton-litters is another factor responsible for the fewer ton-litters ths past year. Pig crop contests are becoming popular as a natural follow-up of ton-litter work in improving pork production, and have for their objective the production of a maximum amount of pork from every sow in the herd. Two Horses Per Farm Is Illinois Estimate With only enough horses being raised in the United States to maintain an average of two to the farm, a horse shortage looms in the near future, according to H. C. M. Case, farm management department, University of IHinois. During tire past 12 years the number of horses on farms has been cut one-third by the introduction of power machinery. In the main this substitution has been economical, he points out. However, it is reasonable to believe that an average of two horses for each farm in the United States will not be adequate for economical power supplies in the future, he points out. Present low prices of feed is a factor which should encourage an increase in horse and mule production. Many deficiency ailments are remedied by including forage crops in the hog’s ration. Sows should be in good condition and gaining slightly in weight when breeding season begins. * • • Meat brine or too much salt will kill pigs, also old hogs. Watch where you throw even the water from boiling a salted ham. • • • Close observations of sows and pigs have many times indicated that animals on self-feeders look better, and are more thrifty than those that are hand fed. • • • A number of sows may be kept in one house, but they should be in small enough groups so they will not crowd and pile up. • • • Serviceability, durability, convenience, sanitation, comfort and safety are the features to be sought in a movable hog house. • • • The addition of skim milk to a swine ration does not make up for the deficiency of the fat-soluble vitamine in white corn, which should be supplemented with tankage or meat meal. • « « Hogs multiply more rapidly than other farm animals and make greater gains per hundred pounds of feed consumed. • • • When hauling hogs in summer, use sand, as it keeps the hogs cool. In winter, use straw to keep the bogs warm. * * * Limestone, calcium carbonate or air-slaked lime are all suitable for feeding live stock; about one-fourth pound per day for a heavy producing cow or average size.

I7ise Balance Between Saving and Spending Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric company. urged moderation in thrift, at the one hundred twenty-second annual dinner of the New England society in the city of New York. This sentiment, supposedly alien to New England traditions, amused the audience of ,400 New Englanders and their guests, who received its expression with composure. They heard Mr. Young bantering absolve the present generation of charges of unrestrained extravagance • and suggest that self-condemnation, “even to exalt our fathers.” be not encouraged. “Let it be said at once that 1 am a poor advocate of thrift.” said Mr. Young, “not that I do not believe in it—for others—but it does not excite my enthusiasm or fire my imagination. I have been widely advertised as saying that 1 got exercise enough as a boy bringing home the cows so that I do not need to play golf now. 1 feel the same way about thrift. Then, too, there is the frnitlessness of the subject. There is about as much need of ia.king thrift to the descendant of our New England fathers as there would be to the sons of Scotch pioneers. “The mere statement of our own extravagance exalts the thrift of the fathers. One does not need to ask whether thrift with them was com pulsory. That would be ungracious and outside the method. If our grandfather. having no house, saved to build one, that was thrift. If we. having a house, save to buy a motor ear or a radio or to go to the movies, that is extravagance. If we wish to throw the prudence of the fathers in high relief, we need only mention installment buying. It is unnecessary to speak of the fact that the fathers had no credit or credit machinery. It is clear whatever the reason that they did not do the wasteful and wicked things which we do. We are condemned, trerefore. and the fathers are praised. That is my casei “The old notion that saving Is, always an economic virtue and that spending is always an economic crime has, at least, been questioned in our day. Savings, after all. can only mean from the standpoint of society, additional plant account—more or better houses to live in—more factories to produce—more railroads and highways to transport. “Whether we put our savings in a savings bank or in life insurance or in investment, it all goes to plant. If thrift were so universal and extreme as the prudent urge, our plant ae count would quickly outrun our needs. It would not be unlike a farmer, having a suitable house in which to live, haying to build another for which he had no need. His savings under those circumstances might well turn out to be waste. “So we are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he .could prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two. saving enough to keep a plant account adequate to our needs and spending enough to keep that plant busy in our service is the desired end.” 7 ower a Woman's Gift Mfs.
