Rev. C. G. Fox. rector of Calvary Episcopal ChuiTh, made the principal Just prior to his talk, Hugo nationally known authority on salesmanship, and who is in Sedalia to conduct a series of lectures on this vital subject, made a ten minute address to the club, in which he said in part; that flag day presented an occasion for us to take an inventory of our patriotism (liid to see or not really patriotic.

Mr. Swan argued from the standpoint that patriotism in a begins in our every day life, especially so In those men who in charge of large business organizations. He stated that by treatment of ployes, not as cogs in machines, but by studying their problems as well as those of their business, by encouraging them and giving them such opportunities as available to you to bring out the best that is in them, increased their earning both for you and for themselves. It would result In better home life for the emnloye. and his procedure, he said, w'ork both to the advancement of the employer and employe.

He closed an appropriate poem, the contents of which told of a successful man. The gist of the poem is that lie who lives laughs lots and loves much, hard, and is carefully considerate of the other Rev. Fox was introduced by Dr. Geiger, who is in charge of the program for the Rotary club during the present month. The speaker told of the early history and description of flags down to the pres ent day, and of our adoption of Old Glory in its earliest form by Congress on June 14.

1777. He also told of the proper display of the flag, staling the flag should always be flown at the top of all flags, except the flag of the chaplain of the ship while services being conducted, wiiich indicated that the ship during the service, was the Temple of God. He dwelt at length on the respect that should be shown the flag, stating that through carelessness, many neglected to pay the proper respect to the flag, and that too many people confused, especially in decorating, the use of flags and the use of bunting. He also criticized very bitterly the display of the flag except on patriotic occasions. That it should not be displayed just because the town wa.s having a con vention or some other little unusual event.

He suggested that all employers instill respect of the flag ill his employe. Just prior to the program of speaking. W. P. Stanley read a very interesting letter from Rev.

He became knowm as Davis in 1923 when he persuaded prison officials to permit him and a cellmate to be taken in an automobile to Columbia, to see a professor of the University of Missouri about a perpetual motion machine Davis claimed he had perfected. On the way he told the two guards about $40,000 he knew buried near Marceline, in Linn County.

The officers drove Davis and the other convict there and w'hile tramping around in the woods on the treasure hunt Davis escaped. He was captured later in Texas. The convicts told Warden Leslie Rudolph of the plot Friday night and it was made public by the ofiicials late Saturday. A quantity of acids and glycerine, which Davis claimed he to compound into nitroglycerine, w'as turned over to officials by the convict, together with some dynamite detonating caps and fuse. Some of the officials doubt it would have made an explosive.

After guards had been killed and the wall blown Davis said it was the general plan to rol) homes here, steal automobiles and flee. Davis said about 150 convicts leaders in the plot, but that he did not know many of them and dealt only several men. His mother, Mrs. Arch March of ton, who visited him, persuaded him to tell of the he said. Six prisoners have been placed in solitary confinement pending the outcome of the investigation ot story.

It learned today at the prison that his story as much inside as it was outside, and that it was given little credence by old officers. Warden Rudolph explained that silch stories had to be thoroughly investigated, no matter what the source. TO GIVE ADDRESSES ON SALESMANSHIP PRESIDENT OFF FOR VACATION TONIGHT Fire Companies Called.

June and Mrs. Coolidge leave Washington tonight for a far corner in South Dakota to spend their summer vacation in the state game lodge of the Black Hills. It is the first time the president has planned such an extended trip in so comparatively a remote section of the country and in consequence the preparations for the journey inordinately taxed the energies of the White House staff.

The presidential train will make its first scheduled stop after leaving Washington at Hammond, where Tuesday Mr. Coolidge dedicate the Wicker Memorial Park to the war veterans. No other formal stops are planned except at Pierre, S. where the president will be welcomed to the state of his summer residence by Governor and other officials.

Stalesky put a gun against the ribs and ordered him to drive from the stockade.

As the car started guards opened fire. Stalesky slumped seriously w'ounded. At the same time another group of guards began firing. Thus the sheriff was two lines of fire. he shouted, as a bullet plowed through his hat.
