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. Tho

United Stutes flag should be on tho
right and its staff in front of the other
flag. 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

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

than from n staff It should be hung

should bo uppermost nnd to tho flag's

cunrters of a million dolhi").
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

of the flock more room nnd a better
chance all around. Sale of tho non

chase of feed for the growing stock."

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.
