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"?

Dodge Brothers Cars
Are Selling Fast
Many Dodge . Brothers dealers are now report
ing shortages of various models of these popular
ears.
Many buyers arc asking for the full value and
well known servicability of these good cars, and
are placing their orders and taking out their cars
daily.
If you want the style, strength and long wear
and economy which Dodge Brothers have always
built into their product, it surely would be ad
visable to get your car ordered now.
Before the end of April, I predict a long wait
ing list of Dodge car buyers. Do not be-'disap-.pointed,
but order your car today. Satisfactory
terms can be arranged for deferred payments.
