Wiulh THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, tfEB., APRIL 5, 1921. No25 1 RESPECT FOR THE FLAG o NORTH PLATTE CITIZENS TO SHOW REVERENCE FOR THE FLAG ON PARADE As tlio body of O. C. Duckworth who Tvaa killed In action in Franco, va3 taken from tho depot to tho Court House, last Friday, hundreds of men lined the streets and stared. Again Sunday, as the body was being convey ed to tho church and to tho cemetery, men of all degrees merely looked. Such action Is so contemptible that It vrould meet with rough handling wore 1 the result of anything but Ignorance American Legion boys were qulio bitter Saturday when discussing tho matter. Tho Legion is pledged to pro moto the observance of patriotism, and respect for tho flag on parado is one 'of tho things which It should require of all people. Tho rule Is about as follows: When tte flag Is on parado every man comes to attention and uncovers. By ittten tlon they moan to stand not sit or walk, face tho flag, erect. This Is rpected of men, women and children. "When a man uncovers ho usually places his hat on his left breast. Tho exact directions were not available yes terday but if one will follow the abovo or inquire from any Service man ho will find out the accepted reverence duo tho flag on parade. Ono of tho North Platte Legion mom bers furnished us with tho following verso which is appropriate now Pardon, stranger, as you stand there. Won't you uncover, leave your head bare? Itfs only respect for a soldier goes by. You don't know him? Neither do I. But he fought for Old Glory, for you and for mo. That we might still have a land that is free. What need we know of his rank or his famo. whether he won particular fume? IJs caBket is clothed in the flag, my friend, Proof ho was a soldier true to the end. Listen, stranger, and can't you hear The tread of feet as they disappear? A firing squad, a buglar, and all, Last tribute to ono who has answered "last call"? .rBGH0G iiif. post, Brooklyn, N Y PARENT-TKACHEIt" ASSOCIATION' PLANNING ON INTERESTING MEETING WEDNESDAY.
