That's mean, we'll say. On the .Blind From the Country A couple of Bemidji men, so it is reported, traveled to the Twin Cities in their horseless carriage and soon after arrival were accosted by a pa trolman because they failed to dis play a license number plate. One of the "birds from the country'' told the cop that he was sending for one, and right away the cop told him not to get too fresh: Isn't it strange what lack of proper environment will do? Some Don't Call It That Just for Practice A suggestion has been made for some of the once notorious "Reds" that like to play with dynamite by hurling bombslet them come up to northern Minnesota and make use of their "art" by assisting in the stump blowing. You might call that a little constructive criticism. Or Destructive Picturetk "Mbre*Sulr* The above picture is still a differ ent kind of bull than that shown in this column Friday. Still another kind of bull Monday. Have Plenty Left Looking Before Leaping A stranger in the city noticed one of our bow-legged clothing mer chants standing on a street corner a few days ago and acting rather sus piciously. After watching him for several minutes, he approached the clothing dealer and said, "Go ahead and jump, if you want to." Isn't it funny what an impression bowed legs will give a stranger? And Also the Owner Even Admit It The Little Falls Transcript says that the Elks put on a wonderful min strel show there this week. And, as is customary with the order, the Elks even admit that they were good. This was where Mr. Kidwell, the travel ing man, sang. Mr. Kid Well Why Not Storage? "And that's what we are paying rent for," exclaimed an angry user of the telephone as he heaved the re ceiver back to its ornamental posi tion after endeavoring for at least five minutes to get the party he want ed. Why not just call it storage?

STUDY CLUB BAHaUET IS ENJOYABLE SOCIAL AFFAIR The banquet given by the Woman's Study club Friday evening at the Markham hotel to the members and their husbands was a very pleasant social affair. The tables were laid for about forty guests and a four-course dinner was served, after which Mrs. L. B. Wilson acted as toastmistress, and Rev. L. P. Warford, President M. W. Deputy and. H. Z. Mitchell responded to toasts. This completes the club's activities until fall.

It is as follows: The Flag should be raised at sunrise and low ered at sunset. It may- be raised at other times but should never be left out over night, except when it is un der fire of any enemy. On Memorial Day the Flag should be -displayed at half-staff from sunrise until riobn, and at the peak from noon until sun set In raising the Flag half-staff or half-mast, it should always be run to the peak and then lowered one "55*'. f*i .*i. r,,^.... .1 .MII^OWOW^'*" breadth of the.Flag. In retiring it, it should first be run back to the peak, then retired. It should never be al lowed to touch the ground. When the "Star Spangled Banner" is being played or sung, stand}.and remain standing at attention in silence until it is finished. When the. Flag is passing on parade or in review", if you are walking, halt if sitting, rise, stand at attention, and uncover. The Flag should never be worn as the whole or part of a costume. As a badge it should be worn over the left breast. In decorating, the Flag should never be festooned or draped. Always hung flat. If hung so stripes are horizontal, the'.:Union should. be in the left upper corner. If hung perpendicularly, the Union should be in the right upper corner. When the national Flag and anoth er flag fly from the same pole, there should be double halyards* one for each flag. The Flag should never be placed below a person sitting. It. should never be used ih such a way ?mm% MlTiD iE HELD ON TMETARM OF tHOSPORTE7 MILES NORTH OF BEMIDJI Program al IB S'tfloclt Basket Lunchat 11:30 Blowing on an Acre of Stump&at 12^00 The.

When the Flag is used In unveiling a .statue or monument, it should never 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 the Flag fc placed over a bier or cas ket, the blue field should be at the head.
