APPEAL MADE ' FOR FUG DAY HOW 10 RILL L u ' 1' - m m' ft G. A. R. Wants It Mori, Gener ally Observed Address to the Public. Yesterday was Flng Day nnd nltho It was not as generally obsorvod ns nro other days sot nsldo for patrfotlo expression, not a few flags wcro Hy ing around town. The Q. A. R. Is en deavoring to hnvo tlio day more gen erally observe.!. S. K. Lathrop, chaplain of tho J. W. Geary Post of the Oregon O. A. It., this year sent out the following address for 1t: Wo Kladly eclebrato Washington's nnd Lincoln's birthday shall wo not also obsorvo tho birthday of "Old Glory," which Washington originated am) Lincoln preserved? Juno 11 Is "Flag Day," tho anniversary of tho! day when tho denr old stars ana stripes first became America's em blem. Let everybody display tho Hag on that glad day. It Is tho Incar nation of freedom, tho sign of hope, tho symbol of human equality. Thnt old Hag docs not mean "somo rnon up and somo men down" but It means' all men up and no man down!" Tho' eight of It always quickens tho pulso j Of All old Soulier, sonuing u new uuiu of patriotic fervor through Ills veins. That ensign for which wo Imperiled our lives on many a bloody battle Held, and for which a half million of our comrades gladly died on tho Hold of battle, Is unspeakably dear and precious to our hearts. Many a vet eran cnrrlcs In his pocket next his heart a mlnlaturo copy of tho dear old Hag which ho followed through storms of shot and shell. I remem ber ono old comrade who sat by my iildo at a camp flro dlnnor provided by patriotic Indies. Thoso good la dles, In their patriotic zeal, had pro vided paper napkins upon which was printed tho old Hag In npproprl nto colors. This old gray hnlred comrndo said, "At Chlckamaugun I aaw six color bearors of my regiment shot down, ono after tho other, whllo trying to carry tho colors. Tho old Hag Is too sacred for mo to wipe my mouth on though It Is only a printed picture. I'll never desecrnto tho flag that way!" And ho rever ently folded tho napkin, put it In Ills pockot and used his handkerchief no a napkin Instead. Every old sol dlor who has fought for tho Hag en dorses that sentiment thcro Is nothing In all this great country so sacred aa the banner of freedom. I romombcr how in 18CJ, having boon a prlsonor of war at Llttlo Itock, Arkansas, a squad of uh woro llnnlly parolod nnd sent northward undor gunrd of Texan rnngers, who woro kind to us nnd did all they could. Wo tramped throo hundred nnd flfty miles on foot, up into southorn Mis souri, whoro tho escort loft us. Wo woro onfooblod by imprisonment, poor food nnd exposure without arms or blnnkots, most of uh barefooted, Imrolinudcd. nl or us ragged and omnclntud, Vn V0?6 pllotod by n faithful no gro to the houso of n Union man, an old Kontucklan, who had omlgratod from Kentucky thirty yonrs before. Ito had boon robbed of nearly all his stack and farming Implements, but still had an old blind horso nnd n inulo, hidden In tho woods. Ho hid us In a barn a wholo day, for tho country was full of bushwhockerB who had no regard for parolod pris oners or tho law of wnr, and would nhnot any Union soldier on sight. Ho mondod up an old immigrant wagon, togged up a harness from ropes nnd RtrnpH, put six of uh Into tho wagon undor Uh ragged cover, and started for tho noarest Union post twenty miles away. Wo traveled by old for saken ronds, and had sovoral nar row escapes. Just before sundown tho old man said, "Hoys, I soo some thing on tho hill ovor yon lor." I nskod "Whnt Is It?" nnd tho answer was, "U'h tho old flag!" Thoro was n whoop and shout nnd a war dnnco of delight InHldo thnt crazy old wng on. Weak, Hick, worn, ragged and hungry as wo woro, that doar old flag was n haven of rest to uh. It meant freedom, friendship, homo, food, clothing, gladness. Wo wero soon within tho lines of comrades at Hol la, Missouri, and our deliverer wan tho hern of tho day, Whnt tho old flag meant to uh In our time of distress, It ban meant ovor since Uh birth, to multitudes of tho oppresso I nnd downtrodden of nil lands. It Ih tho boacon light, tho star of hope to tho wholo world. It re" Inds uh nlwayn of Hunker Hill, Saratoga, Yorktown, Gettysburg, Vlcksburg, Chlokumuugun, and the groat doctrines of liberty, quality, and patriotism which (Iioko geograph ical names stand for. It Is tho one compact Hiimmary and crystallization of thnt declaration of our foro fathom "All men aro created free and equal," Therefore, let "Old Glory" looson! On Flag Day, this day, let every pri vate dwelling unfold tho glorious bannor. In token of what It means. Tho old soldiers of Kugono respect- Washington College Experts Tell Best Methods of Eliminating Pest. PULLMAN, Wash., June 15. Thoro are two common species of tout caterpillars In Wnshlngton, rpo clmcns of which nro often sent to tho State Experiment Station for nd vlco as to how to combat them. Ono of thoso lays eggs on twigs tho slzo of a lead pencil, making n glrdlo of tho small eggs around tho twigs. Tho other species lays Its eggs In n blotli tho slzo of n. ten cent plcco, covoring tho eggs with a frothy material. Tent caterpillars aro particularly abundant In tho spring. Thoy nro easily rocognlzcd by their habit of spinning a web In tho forks of somo branch near whoro tho eggs hnvo hatched. At times they mlgrnto from their tents to feed on tho fol lago of the trco. They feed on n great many kinds of plants In Wnsh lngton, working on tho aider groves nnd thenco Into tho orchards. Dur ing cold wonther thoy aro npt to gather together in numbers on tho trunk of tho trco. Tent cntorplllars can bo controlled by several methods. During early spring tho egg masses may bo sought nnd destroyed. Tho ordlnnry sul phur lime spraying of spring do stroys n great ninny of thoso eggs. When tho young hatch they may bo burned In their tents by means of n torch. A common prnctlco is to fast en on tho end of a polo a funnel of wire screening and plnco korosono rags at tho bottom of tho funnol. This sort of torch will catch thoso cntorplllars ttiat drop when thoy fool the heat. A plain torch would .per mit such cntorplllars to cscapo. Tho tents may bo cut out of tho trees when flrst notlcod or tho adjacent branches niny bo sprnyod In tho spring with an ursonlcnl. Orchards that aro regularly sprayed In tho spring with nn arsenical rarely suff or from nn attack of tent cntorplllars. It Is claimed thnt tho now spray, nr scnlto of zinc, Is particularly ndaptod to tent caterpillars. It Is n concen trated poison and may bo used ono pound to 80 or 100 gallons of wator for this pest.
