For of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is none other so full of meaning is the flag of this country. That piece of red, white and blue means five trousand years of struggle upwards. It is the full-grown flower of ages of fight inp: for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom. Your flag stands for humanity, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course, we haven't ar rived yet at that goal; there are many injustices yet among us, many senseless and cruel customs of the past still clinging to us, but the on ly hope of righting the wrongs of in our bosoms by the sight of that flag. Other flags mean a glorious past, this flag a glorious future. It is not so much the flag of our fathers as it. is the flag of our children, and of all children yet unborn.

Pwatledge of Nehawka Writes on Method of Selecting Fowls For Best Exhibits. We are all very well aware of the preat live stock industry in Cass coun ty. Nowhere, perhaps, will better quality or greater numbers be found in u.11 branches of live stock breeding tiian is scattered over the fertile hills and farms of our county. There is another industry of which we wish to call the attention of the people because of its connection with the farm, city and village life of our county. The poultry industry has outgrown its swaddling clothes and towers as a giant among the agricul tural pursuits of our county and state. It is not today a mere side i.-sue, but has become one of the specialty lines of farm pursuits. Ex clusive poultry farms are being es tablished rapidly with greater prom ise of success. Government and state demonstration farms are taking a loading part in all branches of poul try raising. Farmers and city peo ple are fast taking up standard bred poultry and working with their fa vorite breed or breeds. Not everyone i3 familiar with the meaning of Standard Bred poultry, hence the writer will try to enlighten those who care to know more about Standard Bred poultry, especially those who are breeding one or more of the many varieties of our domestic feathered tribe with a view to main taining the, characteristics and re quirements of the Standard. The organization of the American Poultry association was effected at Buffalo, N. Y., in February, 1873, by delegates from different state and county associations, prominent breed ers, fanciers and other interested persons from different sections of the United States and Canada. At that time the fundamental object of this organization waf to standardize the different varieties of domestic and ornamental fowls, and to that end, a complete Standard of Excellence for all varieties' then recognized, was formulated and adopted which was recommended as the guide for judg ing at all poultry exhibitions. The American Poultry association has since greatly broadened its scope until now it is the recognized and only authoritatire method employed in judging all classes and breeds of fowls. The rules of judging and scoring according to this Standard of Per fection are not known to many other than those whom we term the "Chicken Fancier." The fancier is familiar with the standard require ments of his fowls and breeds them along these lines, according to his' ability to interpret the Standard, hence we see the uniformity of color and breed characteristics in all our! many varieties and breeds of chick-! ens, geese, turkeys, ducks, etc. Realizing that there are some per haps who would like to exhibit their poultry at the Cass county, fair next week, were they more sure of making a creditable showing, the writer will lend his aid. in helping them select the birds that will give credit to the fhow and their owners. To enable those who desire to bring their best birds, it will be necessary to choose those free from disqualifications, be cause a Judge will not place a ribbon on a disqualified bird. than white or pinkish white, comb other than single.
