Observer: Patriotism means a lot to most of us when it is accompanied by a sort of grandstand play. We can all feel thrills and chokings in our throat at the sight of Old Glory borne up the street ahead of a brass band playing patriotic airs. The time when we get over that and feel the hardships of a patriot are when we go home and plan for meals or count up the change left after doing the day's marketing, or debate upon what we can afford to have for dinner.

"The casualties were small." There were some fires. The President of Nicaragua has tplesrranhed the president of Salvador offering aid. He has ordered the or ganization of relief committees to send help to the. suffering and the homeless. A report received from San Miguel fays San Salvador was destroyed, on ly one hundred houses left standing. Strong earthquakes, the report says, were followed later by lava and boil ing water. San Salvador is about three miles southeast of the volcano of San Sal vador and is the seat of government of the smallest, but most densely pop ulated of the republics of Central America. First record of an earthquake there was in 187.'!, when the entire city was nearly leveled and fifty persons per ished. The city, which was founded about 152.1, is located about 120 miles south east of the town of Guatemala and is on a small stream which flows into ;he Pacific ncean. The city is connected by rail with Acajutla and La Libertad and con tains a large university the national palac, the national library and astronomical observatory and a bo- cultural trade. The county of San Salvador itself consists mainly of a plateau about 2,- 000 feet above the sea, broken by a number of volcanic cones. Its pop ulation is 1,133,000, and the most re cent census places the number of in habitants in the capital at 64,000 Public Library.

Next will come the apportionment bv States according to population and the division of the State quotas by county and city election districts.

The man was made to crawl on his knees to the flag, which had been spread upon the floor, and after kissing it, compelled to salute. The police in formed him he would be arrested it he failed to register. At Butte, Montana, a parade of several hundred men and women, who appeared of foreign extraction, protest against registration, tarted a riot, which was soon quell ed without serious damage. Three hundred Russian colonists, trans-Caucasians, settled near Glen dale, Arizona, declined to register Tuesday. They are members of a re- igious order, the Molokans, a branch of the Doukhobars, and had aken a vow against warfare. Some of them changed their minds and registered before the day was over. Ute Indians on their reservations near Ignacio, Col., refused to regis ter under the selective draft act and spent most of the day dancing war and "bear" dances, in native costume. In Virginia one man was arrested for cursing the President and anoth er was arrested tor registering twice. The latter evidently though t was an election and he was proba bly following his custom of voting twice. Navajo Indians drove an Indian agent and other Federal officers off the government reservation in Ari zona when the agent went to regis ter them. E. L.

Three men were shot in a saloon fight in Detroit, resulting from an argument over the selective draft. Over 100 men participated in the struggle which took place after two men had come to blows.

FLOUR) DEMONSTRATION Several hundred people visited the big Eagle Roller Mills on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to witness the flour demonstration. The idea was to acquaint local people with the methods of making flour, how up-to- date the mill is, what good bread can be made from the Eagle Mill brands and get local people to buy home ground flour and thereby save the freight that is paid on flour from dis tant mills to points in this territory. The Eagle Mill has a capacity of 100 barrels per day of the very best flour i to be had. The machinery is the most modern and the wheat used is the best the market affords. All visi tors were showi through the mill where they were pointed out the var ious processes through which wheat goes by the millers, W. R. Hartness, Maynard Washburn and the book keeper, Stough Hopper. A free auto ride to and from the demonstration was extended to all who had no other means of conveyance. As the visitors arrived they were carried to the second floor of the warcroom which had been converted into a veritable parlor by the skilful decorations by Mrs. W. R. Hartness. On the spotless white walls were the flour, meal and feed bags into which the products go to the consumers, Bunting and flags hung from the ceiling and columns and flowers and evergreens arranged on taberettes a- round the room. Wheat heads and corn stalks added to the decorations and harmonized, with the occasion and idea of the managers in showing the steps through which grain" goes from the field to the table. Misses Elsie Hartness and Mary Morris kept the register on which the visitors re corded their names. Mesdames Stough Hopper W. R. Hartness, W. L. Saunders, C. T. Hord and J. R. Morris served the delicious lunch The visitors were shown how to make biscuits and loaf bread out of Coma Lily flour, the leading brand put out by this mill. Mamie Laney, an ex cellent colored cook, had charge of the bread making and cooking. The lunch consisted of hot rolls, hot bis cuits, butter, cheese balls, coffee and lemonade served in a bountiful man ner. All who attended the demon stration pronounced it a great success from every standpoint and rendered unstinted praise to the mill and its management It will be a stimulus to the use of home-made Coma Lily Flour.

Pershing, its command er, the first representatives of the' American army that is to enter the J European war, disembarked this morning at a British port nfter an uneventful voyage of ten (lavs on board the Wrhite Star Liner Baltic. The patty was received with full mi liary honors, and immediately en trained for London where it arrived this afternoon and was welcomed by the Earl i( Derby, ;he minister of war; Viscount French, commander of the British home forces and the Am erical officials. General Pershing's personal staff and the members of the general staff who will perform the preliminary work for the first fighting force num ber fifty-seven officers, and are ac companied by about fifty privates and a large civilian clercial force. The American residents of London and various British organizations have prepared an extensive program of entertainment for the American party, but it is doubtful if much of it will be carried out, as General Per shing, before being informed of the plans, expressed a desire that there be a minimum of anything in the na ture of a celebration of a social char acter. The entire contingent devot ed itself to the hardest kind of work of an organizing nature throughout the journey. Among those taking an active part on the various committees of enter tainment for the American contin gent are Mrs. John Astor, and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. The Americans were surprised to learn of the elaborate arrangements for their entertainment by their countrymen and women, and also of the plans made to facilitate their work. The privates in the contingent will be the guests of the British army in the barracks in the historic Tower of London. At their hotel, the American offi cers met many British and Canadian officers. Everywhere from the port of arrival to London, the American and British officers scrutinized each other with professional interest, each sizing up the other. There was no atmosphere of an excursion jaunt about the trip of the American con tingent, however. It has been work, and work of the hardest kind with them since they boarded the steamer in civilian clothes after she left her pier at an American port.
