Sun-kissed and wind-tossed, red and blue and white,
The one Flag the great Flag — the Flag for me and you=—
Glorifies all else beside—the red and white and blue,
OUR Flag and my Flag! And how it flies today
In your land and my land and half a world away!
Rose-red and blood-red the stripes forever gleam;
Snow-white and soul-white—the good forefathers’

Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to gleam aright—

Your Flag and my Flag! To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat and fifers shrilly pipe!
Your Flag and my Flag—a blessing in the sky;

Home land and far land and half the world around,
Old Glory hears our glad salute and ripples to the sound!

English Musician Said to
Have Composed Music
for Key's Anthem.
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. Duke Street, Second |
Floor, with W. C. Rehm.

was most probably composed by John
Stafford Smith, an English musician
who lived between the dates of 1750
and 1836.
Anacreon, the old Greek poet who
sang the praise of wine and beauty,
was the patron saint of the Anacreon-

convivial meetings first at Ludgate Hill
and later at the Crown and Anchor
inn in Britain's old capital. Ralph

stirring words, of course, referred to
the second president of the United
States. 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,

floated in May, 1812, from a log
schoolhouse which stood on this
place.
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. Cutter, |
bought the bunting and four of his
teachers made the flag. 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.
In his essay, “Perpetual Peace,” pub-
lished In 1795, Immanuel Kant de-
clared that we can never have univer-

sal peace until the world is politically |
organized, and it will never be possible |
to organize the world politically until
the people, not the kings, rule. And he
added that the peoples of the earth

Many women possess some favorite |

fn which different kinds can be kept
separate from each other, so that any
particular pattern can be selected
without trouble.

BRIGHTENING UP THE FROCK

can brighten up an afternoon frock

in, and flowing along, ruts.
(b) It is desirable to keep the cross

sistent with good drainage, because
traflic distributes itself over a flat road
surface much better than over one
that is heavily crowned, and an even
distribution of traflic makes toward

that the water may be conducted to
some point where it may be turned
off from the road. 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

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.

But sand roads must be surfaced with

improved to any extent, and in that
case the surface of the traveled way
would have to be crowned as usual.
Also, where curves occur in the align-

thus make the crown one way.

Nicotine,
Properly Applied, Is Fatal to
Larvae, Says Expert.

(By WILLIAM MOORE, Minnesota Ex-

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-

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.
