The arousing of the ever-present pa-

the developments leading up to the dec-

many has brought forth a great demand
here fbr Old Glory, a demand that has
not seen an equal since the Spanish-
American war, if then. Every man, wo-
man and child that could raise the price
has been buying flags. In the few rare
instances where there were la^ge flags
already on hands a number of the
business men have placed them on poles
on their buildings and a number of fam-
ilies have placed them on their homes.
A canvass of the merchants of the
city dealing flags reveals that all to^i,
flags, big, little and medium, tq the to-
tal number of 4,296 have been disposed
of and nearly all within the short period
of a week. These sales include about
twelve large flags and over 2,000 of the
small button-hole size and the remaind-
er were medium sized flags.
In addition to the twelve large flags
enumerated in the list of sales there

JUDD MORTIMER AND WE-ALL.
Mr. Judd Mortimer Lewis, who is our
friend in spite of State Press' skepti-
cism in the matter, writes us a very
slim note occasionally on matters of
newspaper interest. In the last slim
note he quotes “his favorite poet" to
strengthen a point, and as the quotation
is his own. and, we strongly suspect,
(since it was so very much to the point
and we have rrot seej. it among his po-
etical works) written for our particu-
lar benefit, we reproduce it. It tits the
world:.
“They who strive for fame shall miss
it, and that's what they ought to
do;
But if you put samp of loving, and if
you put some nf you
In the task that is before you, and if
you put some of pride
Into it. and you go at glad of heart and

You will find that there’s a sweetness in
the task of every day.

pretty soon to look your way.

and, pretty soon, will speak your

The sunrise observance of Easter by
the young people of the city under the
leadership of the Epworth League of
the First Methodist cnurch held in the
church af. 6 o'clock Sunday morning
was even more successful than had been
hoped, as there were representatives
from practically every young people’s
society in the city present in the con-
gregation of a hundred and fifty or
more. Decorations were beautiful in
their nature and carried out the idea
of Easter in the green and white color
scheme. Ferns and other potted plants
formed a background for the large Eas-
ter lilies placed in the windows and
while the front seats were
beautifully covered with honeysuckle
vines and white crepe paper. The' Amer-
ican spirit pervaded the decorations as
well as the service, as a large American
flag held a prominent position on the*
wall.
The Easter service was fitting to the
occasion and the following program
was carried out:
Hymn.
Scripture Lesson—1 Corinthians 15:
50.58—Mis* Storrie.
Solo—Miss Vernelle Allison.
Easter Lesson—Mark 16:1-14—Miss
Miller.
Prayer—Mrs. McFarlane.

N. T. S. N. Students' Election
The annual election of'officers of the
Normal College Student association, us-
ually held during the fall months, will
be held this year the latter part of this
month. The change in the date of the
election was made recently,by the Pub-
lications Council in order that the new
officers will have an opportunity to
familiarize themselves with the duties
of the positions and be prepared to take
t the opening of the term.
_iion of the Council made
the staff o||icers of the Avesta, quar-
terly publication, appointive instead of
elective because of the literary nature
of the work. The Council wHl appoint
these officers. The Freshman class will
not elect in the spring because of the
changes that are made in the personnel
of the class each year.

No Action on Flag Request
The County Commissioners’ court
convened Monday morning for the
monthly session of the court and most
of the day has been spent in allowing
accounts. Reports will be checked and
»ther routine matters disposed of Mon-
day afternoon and Tuesday.
A committee from the 'Young Men’s
Business League—J. W. Simmons, E. D.
Curtis and T. V. McKinney—visited the
court Mohday afternoon to urge that a
flag be placed on the court house. The
Commissioners advised with the com-
mittee and instructed it to secure esti-
mates for what the work could be done
and submit them.

curred at about 1 o’clock Sunday morn-
ing.
. Among the out-of-tow’n attendants at
the funeral, in addition to relatives pre-

Jlo Most Recently Wed L^y was in a re^denTof Texas andVor tfte

think?” she said, “My husband told me
LrSd ” ,0°k WMn 1 that
“What do you mean?’’* said we, re-
' serviiDr judgment. The Most Recently
Werl Lady has an extra nice husband.
“Well, f was thinking and biting my
lips and he said, ‘Don't do that. You
don't look nice.’ He never said any-
thing like that to me before.”
“Do you know anyone who always
looks nice?” we askeu.
“No, but-----”
“You didn!t like having him say it."
. “Yes, that's it.. He made me feel as
if he didn’t love me."
She Admitted She Would Rather Slop.
"Wouldn’t you rather he said It and
you stopped doing it than to have him
think it to himself every time you did
it?” -
“Oh, yes."
"Of course you had," we encouraged
her, and she left, apparently on the way
out of the dumps.
Poor little Recently Wed Lady—she
was passing through one of the inevita-
ble crises of married life!
That Bubble Has to Be Pricked.
Most courtships proceed on the as-
sumption that each lover thinks the
other absolutely perfect. Some time
after marriage the bubble has to be
prfeked.
All of which brings
first question—should
criticize each other?
If we mean find faun with each other
—emphatically no.
If we mean criticize in its sense of
giving helpful tactful suggestions, em-
phatically yes.
There are some people who do not
think they need improvement. But most
of us are more humble, and would be
capable of Nnuch self improvement if
we had someone to show us the way,
not in a critical antagonistic spirit, but
with the genuine wish to help us make
the most of ourselves—and be helped in
the same way in return.
Never Critic^re Before Outsiders.
Husbands and wives should never
criticize each other m the presence <?f
outsiders. They should he very care-
ful not to seem sensorious or nagging
in their criticism.
Moreover, suggestions for change
should always be well seasoned wtfh
appreciation.
My notion of an ideal marriage is ex-
pressed by Stevenson in Virginibus Pu-
erisque:
“Nay. you will be wisely glad that you
retain the sense of blemishes; for the mr lines
faults of married people continually»p|SPWhere
spur up each of them, hour by hour, to
do better and meet, and love upon a
blither ground. And ever between the
failures there will come glimpses of
ikind virtues to encourage and con-
sole.”

of houses from bnused lots. We are not
certain if the Governor has approved
it or not, but the recent Legislature
passed a bill whereunder the Commis-
sion is empowered to compel owners of
unused lots to keep them from becoming
eyesores and nuisances to other people,
and" we Join Mr. Bralley suggesting
that, if the bgl Tias become a law, to
invoke its authority to that end. There
is no good reason why citizens who are
glad to keep their own premises clean
and sightly should have their efforts
nullified by the carelessness nr indif-
l-';- ference of others who permit their va-
can lots to get and remain unkempt and
unsightly.

Small Crowd Attended the
Community Meeting S0day
The usual good crowd al the Commo-'
nity meetings being held at the Lee
school by the City Federation was not,
present SatuMMv, probably because of;
the windy xwlher. Prof. C. L. Davis'
of the Normal, on that account, did not j
make the talk on school projects which
was of especial interest to those con-
cerned in rural schools.
Miss Willie Floyd of the Normal col-
lege talked on color theory, illustrating
her points by pupils of the Fifth Grade
in the Training school and by specimens I
of their work. Subjects discussed inolud- ;
ed proportion, spacing, contract of light
and dark colors and color work from na- !
ture. *
Saturday evening B. B. Harris of the I
Normal colege gave an interesting lan- !
tern-slide lecture on birds before a good i
sized group of young people. He ex- I
plained the two-fold purpose of the lec-
ture and pictures—to acquaint people, j
especially the young, with facts about.
bird life and habits and to furnish a >
plea for their protection against shot- i
guns and marauders which threaten to I
•— exterminate some forms of bird life.
Most of the slides were of birds in-
timately known and the young people '
did not "ait for the lecturer to tejj the I
names, but shouted them in rivalry as i
to who should first recofigize the spe-
cies sho\|;n.

AUTO SALESMEN.
I journeyed forth to buy a car, a mod-
em car with sea^ and wheels; I went
where auto salesmen are, and listened
to their divers spiels. And that is why
you tee me n</w, here in my padded cell
atone, a cold wet rag upon my brow,
my reason shaky on Its throne. I saw
ten thousand in my quest, ten thousand
cars, from last to first; and every car
was quite the best, and every other
one the worst. If you behold ten thous-
and cars, of which each tumbril is the
best, your intellect receives such jars
as promptly knock it galley west.’ If
you behold ten thousand boats, and all
but one of them the worst, though You
may have ten thousand goats, you’ll
lose them all, the Last one first. The
agents talked three weeks to me, ad
kinds of facts did they advance: they
would not chop a cherry tree—a man
could see that at a glance. They talked
to me by day and night, each agent
sang nis sad sweet song; the car he
handled was just right,'and all the oth-
er cars were wrong. So in my padded
cell 1 stand, filled up with mind-restor-
ing drifts, and, with slipper in my hand,
I swat the roaches and the bugs.
