THE FLAG.
There's no coward stripe upon
It.
And no shame is written cn It.
All the blood that's in its crim
son Is the blood of manhood true:
There's no base and brutal glory
Woven sadly In its story
It's a bright flag, and
flas.
And the flag for me and you,
right
It's the flag without a fetter;
It's the flag of manhood better;
It has never done a mean thing,
Never waved above a brute;
Greed and hate it never shields
ed,
Unto wrong It never yielded.
It's a fine flag, a divine flas
That in reverence we salute.
KEEP THE RESERVOIRS
FILLED
v ENDLETON'S best meth
yl od of defense against fire
. consists in keeping the
reservoirs filled at all times,
summer and winter. The res
ervoirs have such a capacity
that if filled they afford enough
water to combat a fire almost
indefinitely. The heaviest
fire we have had in years low.
ered the reservoirs only six
inches. With full reservoirs
Pendleton is a good fire risk. A
pumping plant as a auxiliary
will be of slight benefit and
might prove a drawback. That
the insurance men do not re-
gard a pump as of much use is
attested by the fact they figure
it means only a difference of
six per cent in insurance rates.
If through having a pump plant
as an auxiliary our officials in
the future grow indifferent as
to the reservoirs the pump plant
will be worse than a needless
expense. It will prove a me
nace rather than a protection.

DER TAG
wr NSPIRING news comes
from the front. 'Der Tag"
is surely coming to Ger
many, but in ways the reverse
of what were expected. The
enemy is not only unable to
withstand the allied onslaught,
but is seemingly breaking down
within. Internal dissatisfac
tion and disappointment are
rapidly rising among the Ger
man people, who are gradu
ally awakening to the fact that
they have been cruelly deceiv
ed by their own rulers and that
they have made lasting enemies
of the entire civilized world.
They are not only awakening
in this respect, but are realiz
ing the terrible consequences
of the worldwide ostracism
and economic boycott which
thev have brought down uoon
themselves. Germany's fall is!
Belf inflicted, and there is dra
matic justice in the fact,- that
the policies which she aimed to
impose upon others are likely
to fall upon the German peo
ple themselves with crushing
force. As despair grows in
Germany, hope strengthens
daily with the allies, aiyi con
fidence in victory was never
more vivid nor better founded.
Overconfidence may be dan
gerous, but peace on allied
terms is practically assured
and cannot be far distant. If
Germany's armies collapse
under Fochs strategy, as now
seems imminent, the end may
come cooner than expected.
From the Clews Financial Re
view.

an American village an American
Eed Cross Refugee village, by the
way, built of concrete and with the
most approved hygienic arrange
ments. Where as late as last April
an orchard bloomed, this village of
cottages, stores and workrooms is
springing up like Jack's bean stalk.
Before September it will be a hive
of industry for two thousand refu
gees from the German smash, many
of them wives, children and grand
parents of Italian soldiers.
The structures already bnilt or
under way will bouse two thousand
people, but the plans provide for
, the erection of homes for three
thousand more on the thirty acres
constituting the town's site. The

a large central square. A church
and modern sehoolhouse face each
other from opposite sides. A day
nursery is nearhy, a hospital is on
the outskirts, and a large eating
house to be operated by the Eed
Cross is so situated as to be most
convenient for all. Elsewhere there
are stores, workrooms and work
shops fully equipped for various
trades and so built as to be an
ornament rather than a detriment
to this twentieth century suburb of
this ancient city. The streets and
roads of the village are to be an ob
ject lesson to other Italian commu
nities. Its water from the historic
Mediclnn aqueduct is so pure that a
glass of It will show no sediment
after standing a year. Sewage dis-i
posal, plumbing and other sanitary
facilities nrj to he as modern as
those of an up-to-date American
suburb.
The ground for this village, which
was requisitioned by the Governor
of the province when the American
lted Cross agreed to defray the cost
of the structures to house the refu
gees, was formally broken on May 1
by Major Chester Aldrich, repre
senting the ISed Cross. Italian
architects and workmen, tinder
American leadership, ever since
have been breaking all local con
struction records. Many of the
houses now are ready for occupan
cy, and early In August these two
thousand homeless people at last
will have a permanent habitation
y.
and be given facilities for resuming
their old trades.
Model Town to Be Carried on
Women.
It will largely be a woman ruled
town, lany of the citizens of this
new community will come from
Venice, and in the main they will be
women, for In Italy every able
bodied man whose work has not al
ready been cut out for him behind
the lines is fighting at the front for
the women he has left behind him.
Therefore, it fs a case of the woman
who is behind the man who Is be
hind the gun. Many of these wo
men will be home workers by both
Instinct and training, though, almost
every class known to the country
will be represented. Many of the
WORK.MEN AT GATEWAY TO REt
liotue industries for which Veiilc
is famed will be carried on under
Red Cross encouragement and aid
In this modern suburb of Pisa,
There will be lace-maklng and gar
ment making, shoemaklng and doai
ens of other activities, for In select,
lug the site for the town all thes
matters bad to be borne in mind,
Those not engaged In borne indus
tries will find ready employment lit
the factories of Pisa.
This village, however, Is only one
of tha many measures employed by
the American Red Cross to assist
refugees and families of soldiers in
Italy. In practicaly every villaga
on mainland and Islands Red Crosa
relief is operative. The families of
over 800,000 Italian soldiers have
been visited and their immediate
needs supplied. In co-operation
with Italian Governmental and oth
er agencies, workshops, day nursw
erles, schools, soup kitchens, cloth
ing centers, dry food shops, sewing
rooms, factories for the manufac
ture of hoes and furniture and 0th

summer camps for children, bospl

opened in many places.
Italian relief organizations havo
been assisted financially to carry oa
and extend their work to cope with
the refugee problem. Everywhere
behind the line these activities ara

fighters' victory spirit. Just as surely
as are the Red Cross canteens and

What is a Branch
House?
The Branch House is the place in
the packing organization where what
the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it
Both are the natural result of
growth and development in the living
thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch Houses
are located in distributing centers all
over the country. They are fitted
out with refrigerating equipment to
keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a
man who believes in what Swift &
Company is doing for people and
wants to help do it
They are directed by men who
have spent years learning how to get
better meat cheaper to the places
where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch
houses direct from the packing plants
in Swiit & Company's refrigerator
cars, in such quantities that it can be
disposed of while fresh and sweet
Your meat dealer comes here to
buy your meat for you unless some
one else can treat him better then
we can.
So you need the branch house in
order to live well; and the branch '
house and the packing plant need
each other.in order to be useful to you.

QUEEN CORRECTED IN ijjpjH
PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME H
LONDON. AllK. 11. (By
Mail.) Queen Alary has been
corrected in public tor the
first time.
Recently the king and queen
were visitinff some day nurser

Rrranffed to present a bouquet
to the queen
So the kins would not lie left
out of It the Infants made for
hi in a crown of laurels-
The. queen received her bou
quets from one of the elder
girls with a gracious smile and
many kindly remarks, and then
a tiny infant came forward with
the laurel wreath. The queen
held out her hand. ,
"It's not for you,'' cried the
infant. "It's for the king!"
Whereat both their majesties
laughed heartily.
