HONOR THE FLAG! Sy*fc*L la The auiivnrNKy of the birthday of the flag of the United States, June 14, 1777, the date on which it was adopted by Congress as the National emblem, has been set apart as a fit ting occasion for the American peo ple formally to pay to the National colors the honor and respect which is their doe, and thou manifest their lore and affection for their country. The commemoration of Flag^ Day served in 1890, upon the recommend ation of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. The propriety of this custom was at •once recognised by the several pat riotic societies and the public gener ally. The celebration of Flag Day has since developed widespread pop ularity- _ Among tiie objects of Flag Day are the crystallisation of sentiment ■against the desecration of the 'flag, and the promotion of public opinion in favor of the customary observ ances of respect due the national em blem. Many civic and patriotic so cieties have cooperated to these ends and all citixens should give every such effort loyal support. Meaning of Colors The colors of toe flag may be thus •explained:‘The red is for valor, seal and fervency; the white, for ‘hope, pnrity, cleanliness of life and recti tude of conduct; the blue the color -of heaven, for reverence to God, loy alty, sincerity, justice and tljato. _ The star (an ancient symbol of In dia. Persia and Egypt) symbolises dominion and sovereignty, as well as lofty aspiration. The constellation of the stars within the union, one star for each State, is emblematic of our Federal Constitution which reserves to the States their individual sover eignty except as to rights delegated by them to the Federal Government. The symbolism of the flag was thus interpreted by Washington. “We take the stars from heaven, the red from our mother country, sep arating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liber Deep Significance The American flag is unique in the deep and noble sigmfance of its message to the entire world, a mes sage of national independence, of in dividual liberty, of idealism, of pa tF It* incarnates for all mankind the spirit of Liberty and the glorious ideal of human Freedom; not the freedom of unrestraint of the liberty of license, but an umque ideal ol equal opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness safe guarded by the stern and lofty prin ciples of duty. of. righteousness and • of justice and attainable by obedience to self-imposed laws.

Wimington Star. __. When the State Highway Commis sion meets for its next session m Ra leigh two projects of unusual interest t0 Wilmington will, likely be given consideration. One is the big bridg to be erected over the Cape Fear ri ver at Elisabethtown, Bladen county, and the other is the highway which it is proposed to build between Wil mington and Wrightsville sound. * Official announcement has come from Raleigh that contract for the Elisabethtown bridge is to be let at the commission meeting on June 27., This bridge, when completed will be a most important link in the .high ways that are complete, and m tne process of construction in the third district, which is in charge of W. A. McGirt, of this city. This project covers the construc tion of a bridge of concrete andsteel having a total length of 2,293 1-2 feet, and will be of concrete except for the steel span of 350 feet oyer the Cape Fear river. In addition the project includes one 365-foot bridge across an arm of the . Cape Fear, and one span of 50-feet. Although the engineers are not yet finished with the preliminary survey of toe proposed hard-surfaced road connecting Wilmington and ... Wrightsville Sound, it is likely that this project wili be given considera tion by the commissioners when they gather for their next session. To Resume Road Lettings dons 27. After a lapse of pearly 8 mouths the State Highway Commission will resume the totting of ?«w contracts for road construction on Jane 27, when bids will be opened on more than a score of project# aggregating ' a mileage of approximately 125 miles, states the Raleigh News and Observer. The tentative list of pro jects gives 71.18 miles of gravel road and 55.22 miles of hard surface. Further lettings of contract was sus pended indefinitely several months ago on account of shortage of ma terials and labor and congestion of transportation.

Sold Everywhere; L gw LASKER’S MILLION DOLLAR JOY RIDE Chairman of Shipping Board Has .. Sent Invitation to 600 Guests for .. Delightful Junket at Public Ex* pense. (Washington Correspondence) The pretense of the Republican ad ministration that it is practicing eco nomy apparently has not fooled Al bert D. Lasker, chairman of the shipping board. Chairman Lasker’s intimate association with (President Harding may have led him to regard the utterances of the Chief Execu tive, including his economy preach ments, as purely Pickwickian. While other “best minds” among Republi can leaders were putting out economy propaganctaV (Chairman Lasker was planning and is about to carry out what has been called a ‘'million dol lar joy-ride” on the shipping board vessel Leviathan in southern waters. Invitations were sent to 200 prospec tive guests for this delightful junket at public expense. In a manner of speaking this is a sort of celebration of Mr. Lasker’s retirement from the {Shipping Board and considered solely in this light, the junket is probably worth what it will cost. Of course, a million dollars is a great deal of money, but it must be remembered that Mr. Lasker has been squandering millions upon mil lions of dollars of the people's money in a futile attempt to operate the merchant marine, for which work he has had neither previous training nor experience. One confession of his in competence and his recklessness in wasting publie monies was the at tempted passage of the ship subsidy bill which would have disposed of the shipping board vessels at a nominal cost and have levied an additional tax upon the people of $760,000,000 in the next ten years, and, perhaps, in definitely, in the nature of a subsidy to private ship owners. SUGAR GOUGING NO AID TO REVENUES. (Washington Correspondence) No matter how much the Sugar Barons may gouge from consumers of sugar by reason of the present and recent excessive price of sugar, the Federal Government gets only what the Fordney-McCumber tariff act al lows—1.7648 cents a pound. And it collects this on Cuban sugar. It col lects no revenue from the domestic product, which sells as high as Cuban sugar. It is estimated that the American people this year will im port and consume something like ten billion pounds of sugar, upon which the Government will collect about $176,000,000 in duties, while the pro fiteers wiU take a toll upward of $200,000,#). The tariff offers the profiteers the opportunity and occasion to exploit the people and its vastly mere bene ficial to the Sugar Barons than it is to the Government. For every cent the profiteers pay into the public treasury they take three or four cents out of the consumer’s pocket. It is plain, think that while the tariff influences the cost of the consumer’s sugar the amount of revenue collect ed by the Government is in no way dependent on the price the Profiteer forces the public to payv HER THIRD ATTEMPT ___ By Helm Harrington Downing It was the day before the club meeting and it was Mrs. Newlywed’s turn to entertain. It was her third at tempt that week to bakeia cake and each had been a failure-i-but why, she could not tell—and Mrs. Newly wed was in despair. Everyone o£ the club members had served such de licious cakes and surely she most too. T She sat down to have a good cry when a cheery voice called to hear from the kitchen door. When Mrs, Bestfriend came in, with a glance at the look on her friend's face and then at the cake which had just been taken from the oven, she at once sensed the trouble. “I’m in a hurry but just ran Over to WINNING lWBAY A hot contest is on at Efird’s de partment store It is between the red team and the fclue team composed of salespeople there, and the win ning team is to receive a prise of a three-day vacation with pay, besides a etna of money.

You don't have to worry if you are called away from your baking for a few minutes. “Be careful with your mqasure ments, follow your recipe closely and remember one level teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of flour. "Try again and I’ll run in this af ternoon to see your cakes when you have finished your baking,’’ added Mrs. Bestfriend. It was a smiling, happy face which greeted Mrs. Bestfriend later-^-“Come and see my cakes,” said Mrs. Newly wed—“they are perfectly wonderful— I followed your advice and see—how light—and jook at the texture,—just i taste this sample. I never dreamed that I could make such a cake. I know I shall never have another failure. “And, now I know two of my best | friends—you and my baking powder.” OATHS NOT ALWAYS AD MINISTERED PROPERLY The following statement is issued1 by the U. S. Collector of Internal Revenue for the district of North Carolina: With a view of prosecution and dismissal from (Government service where the offender is a Federal em ployee, investigation is being made by the Bureau of Internal Revenue of reports that persons authorised to administer oaths are not, in all oases, performing such duty properly and in accordance with the law. Section 106 of the United States Penal Code provides a penalty of $600 fine or imprisonment for one year, or both, for “whoever, being a public officer or other person autho rized by any law of the United States to make or give a certificate or other writing, shall knowingly make and deliver as true such a cer tificate or writing containing any statement which he knows to be 'false”. ... Such misconduct, it is declared by 'the commissioner of internal revenue, D. H. Blair, in addition to the Enmi ties prescribed by law. will be deem ed sufficient reason for requesting the cancellation of the oath-administ ering authority for any officer guilty of the offense, and in the case of bureau officers* for dismissal from the service. “JUDAS” To the Editor. ...- v “Judas, is it?” “Well, I may be a Judas all right!” But it is a glorious thought to know that the persons I have been trying to betray don’t quite measure up to the standard set by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, At least one member of the “high and mighty” is getting a little sore, judging from the fact that he pro mised me along with a mixture of [terrible cuss words that he would knock my head clear off if I ever wrote another word insinuating in his direction, classing my writing* to The Robesonian as a lot of bunk stuff. * After visiting the jail several times in an effort to get admission, I succeeded in being allowed to en ter last Thursday evening peaceably enough: But the getting out propo MRS.
