N regard to the tune of the | “Star Spangled Banner” much has been said and written. Over the first ap- pearance of the poem in print were the words, | PaachA in Heaven.” The | question as to who set Key's words to | this alr is yet unsettled. Some friends of the descendants of the poet declare that Key was stone deaf and could neither sing nor recognize a tune, and that his friend, Judge Nicholson, who seems to have acted as press agent in the matter of placing the song before the public, found that the lines fitted this air, already used for several pa- | trlotic songs of the day. Others say | perfectly have that Mr. Key wrote his lines to fit this popular tune, otherwise it could not so followed {ts peculiar meter, This is still an open question, but Mr. Sonneck has run down the facts of the creation of the tune now fa- miliar to practically every man, wom- | an and child in the United States to an day at N6. 56 N.

Anacreon, the old Greek poet who sang the praise of wine and beauty, was the patron saint of the Anacreon- tic society of London, which held its convivial meetings first at Ludgate Hill and later at the Crown and Anchor inn in Britain's old capital. Ralph Sommers was the first president of the Francis Scott Key. soclety and to him is ascribed the au- thorship of the following nonsensical lines, which were sung at every meet- Ing of the society: To Anacreon in heaven, where he sat In full glee, The bold sons of Harmony sent a peti- tion, That he their Inspirer and Patron would be, When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian: ““Voice, Fiddle and Flute, No longer be mute; I'll lend you my name and {inspire you to boot | And besides I'll instruct you like me to entwine | The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus’ Vine.” very popular in intercourse was too The tune became England and the musical between the two countries | lively in those days to permit a well- known air to remain barred from our shores.

The first lines are as follows: Ye sons of Columbia, who bravely have fought For those rights, which unstained from your sires had descended, May you long taste the blessings your valor has brought And your sons reap the soll which your fathers defended. Other patriotic words carried the same alr at later periods and it was familiar to the American people when it was added to “The Star Spangled Banner” for all time. FIRST FLAG OVER SCHOOL Honor Is Claimed for Colrain, Mass., Where National Banner Was Raised in May, 1812. Today the United States flag flies over millions of schoolhouses, in every city, town and hamlet, throughout the United States, Porto Rico, the Philippines. otic observance exercises are held at which the flag is saluted and the pupils | standing give a military salute and in chorus slowly and distinctly repeat: “I pledge to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The distinction of antedating all other schoolhouses in raising the flag | belongs to a little log schoolhouse on Catamount hill, Colrain, Mass., in May, 1812, | tain was threatening at that time, and the people of the community raised the flag in an outburst of patriotism and loyalty to the United States govern- ment. make the flagpole and three members of the committee In charge hoisting of the flag were a short time later marching away to the war.

Less than a month after the flag on Fort Sumter had been fired upon a flag was raised over the Fifth street gram- mar school at New Bedford, Mass., May | 11, 1861. This was eight months after the dedication of the school building. One of the earliest instances known of a flag being ralsed over a school building or grounds was over Wash- ington school, Chicago, three days after Fort Sumter had been fired upon. | The principal, Benjamin F.

One of these | women was a native of Maine, one from Massachusetts, another was born in New York state, and the fourth, Mrs. Calista Robinson Jones of Ver- mont, was afterward a past national president of the Woman's Rellef corps. This flag has been an inspiration to the pupils of that schoel for more than a half century, school day. Pure Reason.

The accompanying figures show typical cross sections for earth side ditches. The cross section shown in the first figure is suitable for steep grades where the depth of water in the side ditches must be kep* low in order to prevent washing of the soil. The second figure shows a modified section which gives a greater capacity for the same widths of ditch than the cross section shown in the preceding figure, but which can be employed only flat grades if wash- Figure 3 shows level stretches of road, because the tendency for water to wash away the surface by collecting in and flowing along ruts depends largely upon the steepness of the grade. Also the care with which a road is to be maintained may have an important influence on the amount of crown that should be given to the surface. It is evident that a road surface maintained in a smooth uniform condition will shed water off te the side ditches with much less crown than would be required where ruts are allowed to form.

(By WILLIAM MOORE, Minnesota Ex- periment Station.) A concentrated nicotine solution of which there are several brands on the properly applied, is fatal to the larvae of the cucumber beetle, which sometimes does a large amoufit {of damage to cucumbers whether ia | the cold frame or in the fleld. One tea- spoonful of a 40 per cent solution of nicotine in a gallon of water Is enough. The gardener should look for the lar- vae of the beetle just at the surface When he discovers them he should pour his nicotine solution on carefully with a narrow half-pint cup, being sure to let it run down all sides of the stalk. Fighting the larvae of the cucumber beetle is better than fighting the adult beetle itself, as the adults work chief- { ly on the leaves and do not get at the vital parts of the plant. “w ‘x
