He says that the road there is a joke, but we rode over it several times of late and couldn’t see any joke about it. Evidently he doesn’t know what a joke is. He also says that it has been prom-| ised for several years that this street| and Dewey avenue be paved to the State Teachers college. So far, we are safe in saying that if it has been paved, it has been paved with prom- ises—promises never to go over that road again. —Pitch Holes in Summer— The Judges Didn’t Play A prize was offered for the home- liest man in attendance at the Labor Day celebration at Diamond Point Monday. This contest was adver- tised as being “frec-for-all,” but as far as we can find out, the judges didn’t play in that game. —Must Have Been Women— Everybody Loves a Fat Man We also understand that the “fat” men had some argument as to weight after the r: We didn’t see them| run, but it’s a safe bet that the guy | who won weighs little less than an over-size horse. The plumber who came in second has heretofore had| easy pickings in these races, but he| must have been over-worked in the past year—or something. —Don’t Get Fat— Bemidji Men Don’t Do This 1t is said that men read newspa-| pers with interest, but never with as| much interest as when a lady is stand- ing in front of them in a street car| looking for a seat. | | —Only One Reason— pronouncing 'UNION SUNDAY SCHOOLS | The regular {a fund of valuable information.

A new theory about the origin of the American flag is .told 'by the writer of the By the Way column in the London Daily Express. It is sent by a correspondent evidently versed in such matters, who expresses the opinion that the attribution of “0ld Glory” to the arms of the' Wash- ington family is exploded. “It is much more probable,” he writes, “that the flag of the old East India company formed the pattern. This flag seems to have.been used as the oflicial flag of the 13 original states from January, 1776, ‘to June, 777, when a blue canton charged with 18 stars was substituted for'the can- ton bearing the English' ‘Union.’ The flug then became, in substance, that of today, though stars have been add- ed as other states adhered to the fed- eration.” The correspondent quotes authorities. “Truth’ must prevall, whatever it s, but,” says the colummist, “I like the story told by Newman in his address- es to the Brothers of Ovatory. There was once an old priest, he tells us, who for years began a certain part of the service with ‘the words: ‘Quod ore’ mumpsinmus,” One day a more Ienmqfl pérson heard him and after- ward told him that the:'third word should be “sumpsimus,’ Fhe old priest admitted that it 'might be-so, ‘but,’ he added; ‘T will not chinge my old/ mumpsimus for your new sumpsimus.’ I like the old mumpsimus, story asso- ciating ‘Old Glory’ with manor.” X LR EaR T ] FOR RENT—Two furhished house- keeping rooms.
