Tho manufacture of the knitted bnthlng suit has especially Patriots of tho United Stnteo at last may pay the llag of tho nation full re spect, without fear of violation of some phase of llag etiquette, due to tho outcome of a national conference called for the purpose of codifying rules for ling observance. Noting tho dlsslmllltudo of practices toward tho flag, and tho inability to 1 inuko military observance coincide with that for civilians, tho American Legion set out to settle all such ques tions and succeeded In the purpose by . culling together representatives of ' nearly seventy organizations of varl I ous character for tho promulgation of certain rules for future llag usage. J The conference was held at Conti nental hall In Washington. Gathered I there were representatives of the army and navy, government agencies, veterans' organizations, patriotic so cieties, associations for welfare nnd or ganized movements for national devel opment. These delegates represented 5,000,000 Americans. Tho conference was opened by an nddress by Presi dent Harding. Garland W. Powell, director of the Americanism commission of the Le gion, presided and named n committee which fonnulnted a definite code, later to no adopted by tho conference. In addition to settling on tho code for flag usage, plans for education In proper flag observance were formed nnd ii program of contemplated legis lation outlined, which would fix by tntuto certain rules for display of tho natlonnl emblem. A point which will bo stressed ulong this lino will bo the setting aside of June 11 as n day of appropriate ceremony nnd respect to tho flag In every state. Another sug gested measure calls for the Hying of the llag from every main administra tion building and nt every polling place la tho nation. Schools would fly the flag during school hours, If a recom mendation of the committee Is fol lowed, while general laws relating to punltlvo measures for misuse of tho flag also aro urged. The code suggested by tho commit tee contains many suggestions for nsago of the emblem, with certain "don'ts" as violations. The Hag should bo displayed from sunrlso to sunset, only between such hours nB designated by proper author ity on national and state holidays, or on historic or special occasions.

When flags arc grouped or dis played from staffs the United States flag should be In the center or at the highest point of the group. The United States flag should fly from tho peak of a halyard on which flags of states, cltleB or societies are flown. If such flags are hoisted tho United Stutea flag should always bo raised first. No flag or pennant should bo pluccd above or to the right of the emblem. In fly ing flags of two or more nations tho lings should be flown from scparato staffs of the same height nnd the flags of equal size. A common misuse of the flug takes place when tho staff projects horizon tally or at an angle from window sills, balcony or front of buildings. The union of the llag should go clear to the head of the staff unless at half stuff. If tho emblem Is displayed other than from n staff It should be hung flat. If displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should bo uppermost nnd to tho flag's right, that Is, to the observer's left.

In order to properly understand these two characters, It will be neces sary to look at tho several narratives In which they nro brought to our view. These are three In number. I. The Behavior of Martha nnd Mary In the Dnya of Sunshine. (Luke 10:!13- In this picture we see Martha en gaged In preparing a meal for Jesus. In her effort to make the best prepara tion for her honored guest, she became distracted. She not only was cum bered with much serving but she found fault with Mary for not helping her. Sho even censured the Lord for per mitting such neglect. Mnrtha has had hor followers In all ages. Every church knows them. The busy, troubled nnd fussy women who ure engaged In erv Ice for the Lord with little patience for those who fit at the feet of .Testis. Mary sat at Jesus' feet and heard Ills word. She had taken her turn In the service ns the word "also" would Im ply. She did not neglect service, but hnd the keenness of perception trt dis cern thnt communion with the Lord was more prized by Illm than the serv ing of n meal. Both of these women loved the Lord and it Is Impossible to sny which loved Him more. In tho days of sunshine in this home, Mary made the good choice of communion with her Lord. II. Mary and Martha In the Day of Great Sorrow. (John 11 :1-U1.) The next hcow which occupies our attention Is the occasion of the resur rection of Lazarus. In the time of the sickness of Lazarus, these sisters had sent for Jesus. Jesus loved the mem bers of this household, and yet, strange to sny, Ho delayed Ills going unto them. Martha met Him with rebuke, saying that If He had been there her brother hud not died. This carried with It tho censure for Ills delay un der such trying circumstances. This net of Martha called forth some mar velous teachings on the resurrection. After this Interview with Mnrthn, she came to Mary with the message of a call from Jesus. Mury was composed nnd remained In the house until called for. She Immediately responded to this call and used the Identical words of Martha, but Instead of rebuking her, He mingled His tears of sympathy with hers of sorrow. The reason she had such composure In this dark hour was that she had patiently sut at Ills feet and listened to Ills word so thut she understood the meaning of the tragedy. The difference then In the behavior of these two women In this dnrk hour was doubtless due to tho fact that In tho days of sunshine Mary hud entered fully Into fellowship with the Lord and thnt Martha had lost this grace through her fretfulness. III. Jesus Entertained at Bethany. (John 1:1-0.) At this supper appeared Mary, Mnrtha and Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. Doubtless this supper was In grateful appreciation of His help und sympathy In the days of their trial. At this meal Martha was buck at her old business of serving, but It would seem with an unruffled disposi tion. Mary took n pound of spikenard, very costly, and annolnted the feet of Jesus nnd wiped them with her hnlr. This wu8 a token of her great love and devotion. Sho was back In her ac customed place nt the feet of Jesus. With tho keen Intuition of true love, sho brought her costliest gift as nn evl- denco of her love. Sho thus antici pated His death and burial, knowing thnt she could not minister unto Him then. Tho Lord received this net of lovo at Its full value. Against the foul crltlclsn; of Judns, Jesus defended Mury. no deelnred thut It wns no more u wusto than tho ointment placed tho bodies of the dead in embn'mment. In fact It was tho doing of this vry act beforehand unto Him. Only Mary o? all Ills disciples had really understood Jsafl when He said He must he crucified and raised again the third day. The announce ment of His crucifixion brought unto tho others dismay. They refused to believe In the resurrection, hut Mary camo to annolnt His body for burying. Most Important Breeds of Ducks for Marketing Ducks are the most valuable of all domesticated waterfowl, for commer cial purposes. Ducks can he successfully raised In almost any locality whero they hnvs n good supply of green food and plenty of drinking water. In recent years tho production of broiler ducks foi market has become a largo business The raising of ducks for tho produc tion of eggs for market, while still In Its Infancy, promises to grow to con siderable proportions. Tho most Im portant broods of ducks for tho produc tion of market poultry aro tuo Peking, Ajlcsbury and Itoticn. As ducks are rather hardy "birds I they do not rcqtilro mom than ordlnn- ' rlly good shelter from the weather. It 1 Is it custom to placo them In low-built houses on a range, where they will i hao plenty of room to range. Duck i houses should he placed on ground that bus sulllclent slopo to drain It at nil Union of tho year. The floors or houses for ducks should preferably bo of sandy soil. The ground composing the lloor of I he houses should be dug out to tho depth of six Inches each spring and full, and replaced with fresh soil. Tho lloor should be kept contlnuully cov ered with n litter of dry straw on which the ducks can roost or rest nt night. This litter should he taken out frequently and dried In tho sun, and whenever It becomes filthy It should bo removed, the floor carefully cleaned, and fresh litter placed In tho houses. A small housu well suited for ducks Is 12 feet wide, 10 feet long, 7 feet high In front, 5 feet high nt the back. With a yard 50 feet square thu houso nnd yard are sulllclently largo to nc coinmodate 0T ducks. Ducks need lots of fresh nlr nnd In building tho houses provision should be made for abundant ventilation. If a large number of ducks nro kept In n close house, the air will got so bad that somo ducks will nctunlly go blind from tho Irrltntlon of their eyes by tho ammonia arising from the manure. l'Vw nrtlcles of equipment nre essen tial for duck houses, the principal ones being water vessels, feed hoppers and nests. Where ducks nre supplied with nn nmplo swimming pool they will have a sufficient water supply; where they do not have this water supply they must have water continually be fore them In troughs, small galvanized Iron buckets, stone crocks or water fountains. Right Time for Culling Indifferent Laying Hens Look for a high death rato among farm poultry. The culling season, when the Indifferent layer and nil her sisters should be disposed of to the best advantage, Is nt bund. Culling demonstrations nre In order from June to January. Nine hundred nnd eighty-six demon strations wero put on In 75 counties of MInnesotn last season. Three thou sand eight hundred nnd thirty-eight flocks, totaling 813.507 birds, were culled; 100,032 birds, or practically one-third, wero discarded ns unprofit able. "It Is evident from these flgures,, says N. E. Chopman, poultry special ist with the agricultural extension division of the university, "that about one-third of the farm flocks should he culled, and this culling should be cin ns soon as the hens begin to molt. Early molten having smnll combs ani wattles and yellow legs of the Amert cun nnd Medlterrnncnn breeds nro the ones thnt should bo dlscnrded. Such fowls may bo consumed Immediately, canned for future use or put on the market. This will give the remainder of the flock more room nnd a better chance all around.

Duck Is Distinguished From Drake by Quacking Tho duck Is distinguished from the druko both by nppenrilnco and sound. Tho drake, when fully feathered has in his tull fenthers, two feathers on the top which curl up. This Is not an In fulllblo test because sometimes the curled feathers may have been pulled out, or lost out from molting or other cuuse. Tho curled feather shows on n drake when ho 1b four mouths old. A duck qun!k, but a drako does not. ''I li.; yttUAJ-sr - - w-iryttw-ggLiamg vtiafasssrsaiatesraf.
