Deputy Warden W E Corwm of Mc
Cook is in receipt of the following letter
from the chief warden of the state
Lincoln Nebr July 1 1906
My Dear Sii
I desire to remind you that the time
is near at hand when our young prairie
chickens will need protection and that
it is your duty as an officer to prosecute
any one found killing them before the
open season which is Sept 1st I want
to impress upon you the fact that I
with my two State deputies would be
almost powerless to prevent the killing
of these splendid birds throughout the
large territory they inhabit in the
State without the assistance of our
special deputies and other officers
It is probable yo u know those myour
locality who are most likely to go out
before the open season and I find it is a
good plan to go them and urge with
them that it is wrong that it is unlaw
ful unfair and unsportsmanlike to de
stroy the birds while they are unable to
protect themselves Let your position
be known then anyone who violates
will do so with the knowledge that they
will be prosecuted so they cannot blame
you and the better class of people will
respect you more for having done your
duty I found when attending the
National meeting of Wardens at St
Paul Minn last winter that reference
to prairie chickens was always coupled
with Nebraska and we are highly com
plimented for the stand we have taken
for preservation of these noble birds
Let st be remembered that our prairie
chicken and quail are worth more to
the people of Nebraska than to the
millionaire and to others in the large
cities who can afford to pay for them
so let us determine that they shall not
be shipped out of the state and at the
same time see that our own people are J
moderate in tneir destruction of them
and wo will have these birds for genera
tions to come
Yours for game protection

A St OOD RED LAKE
Peculiarity Manifested by a Sheet of
Water In Switzerland
Lake Morat in Switzerland has a
queer habit of turning red about two
or three times every ten years It is a
pretty lake like most of the sheets of
water in that picturesque country and
Its peculiar freak is attributed to a dis
position to celebrate the slaughter of
the Burgundians under Charles tla
Bold on June 21 147G but the French
say that it blushes for the conduct of
the Swiss who in that battle gave the
Burgundians no quarter
This phenomenon of course has its
legend The old fishermen of the lake
who catch enormous fish called silures
that weigh between twenty five and
forty kilograms say when they see the
waters of the lake reddening that it is
the blood of the Burgundians As a
matter of fact some of the bodies of
the Burgundians killed in the battle
were thrown into the lake while others
were tossed into a grave filled with
quicklime This historical recollection
angered the Burgundian soldiers of the
victorious armies of the republic in
179S so much that they destroyed the
monument raised in honor of their
compatriots who fell heroically in that
battle and Henri Martin very justly
reproached them for that piece of van
dalism
It would hardly do to attribute the
reddening of the waters of the lake to
the blood of the soldiers of Charles the
Bold The coloring Is due simply to
the presence in large quantities of little
aquatic plants called by naturalists Os
cillatoria rubescens The curious thing
about it is that Lake Morat is the only
lake in which this curious growth ia
developed
Salt tlie Civllizer
The uie of salt as a necessary sup
plement to diet has had much influence
In shaping the civilization and explora
tion of the world It is most probable
that the oldest trade routes were cre
ated for the salt traffic as salt and
incense formed the chief necessaries
of theancient days This was certain
ly the case with the caravan routes in
Libya and the Sahara while the mines
of north India were the center of a
large trade before the time of Alexan
der
Another interesting fact is that salt
has played a considerable part in the
distribution of man When it became
absolutely necessary to him as it did
at an early stage of his development
he was forced to migrate to places
where it could be obtained This
brought him to the seashore where he
gained his ideas of maritime commerce
Lastly the preservative effects of salt
on flesh food made long ocean voy
ages possible and thus opened i the
world to commerce and civilizatw
An Envied Editor
John Black for many years editor of
the London Morning Chronicle prided
himself on being a judge of men His
pride was justified by the fact that he
secured the services of many very able
contributors Mr Black was noted for
his independence and contented spirit
both of which are illustrated by the
following story
Mr Black was in the habit of calling
on Lord Melbourne then at the head
of the government who one day said
to him in his abrupt way Mr Black
you are the only person who comes to
see me who forgets who I am You
forget that I am prime minister
Black was stammering out an apol
ogy when Lord Melbourne continued
You never ask me for anything and
I wish you would
I am truly obliged to you answer
ed Black but I dont want anything
I am editor of the Morning Chronicle
I like my business and I live happily
on my Income
Then sir I envy you exclaimed
the premier And yon are the onJy

T is not generally known that flags
of the common and cheaper va
riety are printed on a press simi
lar to that used for newspapers
yet such is the fact At present a new
plate and hence a new impression are
required for each color Thus for our
red white and blue banners which
blossom all over the land each Fourth
of July two plates and two impres
sions are needed one for the red and
one for the blue The white is fur
nished by the original color of the mus
lin or other goods on which the flags
are printed It is hoped in time that
one plate may be made to do the work
when the expense will be lessened and
the facility of production increased It
must not be imagined that two run
nings through the press are required
Just as four or more colors are printed
on newspapers at one running through
the press so the two colors are sup
plied to the national emblem in tho
same way This effect is reached by
the use of two sets of rollers and
plates the goods passing from one to
the other
It is said that the largest flag fac
tory in America and for that matter
in the world is located in Cincinnati
Here are manufactured a large share
of the flags used in the United States
and some even for England There are
123 people engaged in the factory and
ten wholesale establishments handle
the output This factory was made
possible by the invention of the flag
press before mentioned which was tho
work of a Cincinnati man
In the manufacture of flags muslin
is bought in bolts of 1000 yards each
This is cut to the right width and fed
through in long strips Each day 15
000 sheets are used making 375000
flags in all These range in size all the
way from 2 by 3 inches to 30 by 42
The colors for printing are mixed in
the factory so that the right shades
may be secured The sticks are also
NEW YORK SCHOOIj CHILDREN LEARNING
TO MAKE THE FLAG
made there The fias are allowed to
dry for twenty four hours before being
placed on the sticks Needless to say
the largest trade is in the little five cent
flags Silk banners are also got out
In addition to the muslin ones and the
most expensive hand sewed flags are
also produced but these are only made
on special order Fourth of July canes
bunting confetti and other similar
decorations that adorn the American
Fourth and other patriotic holidays aro
likewise the product of the Cincinnati
factory Festooning plumes and all
the rest go forth from this printshop of
patriotism It is from tho waste of
these by the way that the confetti is
made Cincinnati has baen in the flag
manufacturing business since 1S51 It
is not without significance that the
Buckeye State which has been dubbed
the mother of presidents is also to
an extent the mother of the nntinnnl
colors The native sons of this states 1
man producing commonwealth may
thus wave Ohio grown banners and
grow doubly patriotic over the fact
that they can honor their country and
state both at the same time
There are innumerable other facto
ries for flaginaking in the country one
SEWING ON THE STAllb
of the largest being in New York city
In many of these the old press which is
much like the newspaper hand press
is necessarily used This renders the
production of Old Glory somewhat te
dious and laborious compared to the
new way
hile a great number of the national
emblems are used on the Fourth of
July an ev6u larger number are em
ployed on Memorial day They are
likewise in demand on Flag day to say
nothing of national state county and
municipal conventions political cam
paigns schoolhouses public and pri
vate buildings ships and the thousand
and one other places and occasions that
call for the display of the star span
gled banner All over the earth now
the flag of the free is known and hon
ored and it is not without a pardon
able pride to the American that no na
tional emblem is more universally
loved and respected than his own sym
bol of the night and the dawn of lib
erty and progress
Although the ordinary flags are print
ed the larger and more expensive ones
are cut from bunting and sewed
There are many factories where this
work is done The numerous flags re
quired in the American navy are made
In the Brooklyn navy yard To give
an idea of the large number of ban
ners required for each vessel the new
battleship Connecticut was supplied
with 250 varieties at a cost of 2500
Among these are flags of the signal
code flags of every nation admirals
flag presidents flag etc The presi
dents flag alone requires a month in
making Some of the foreign banners
are of exceedingly difficult design and
cost over 50 each to construct
In the New York public schools and
some others the children are taught
how to make flags out of bunting
What Is thought to be the largest
flag ever made was displayed at Den
ver a year ago It was 115 feet In
length and 55 feet wide The stripes
were over 4 feet broad and the slars 2
feet across
