GOLD GLORY'S" DAY.
A Timely Account of the Origin
Of the Flag.
First Coiors Used Before the
"DeClaration."

The Star-Spnngled Banner was born
June II, 1777. The colonial flag chief
ly used by the colonies of New England
previous TO the Revolution, was red,
with field of white crossed by red
bar from top to bottom and from right
to left.
At the battle of Bunker Hill, June
II, 1775, the flag displayed by the
Americans was similar to the one de-
scribed, except that its color was
blue, the white field with the red
crossed bars remaining the same,
while pine-tree was shown in the
upper corner of the field. The Pine
Tree flag of the navy, used by our
ships during the early part of the
Revolution, was white, with n pine
tree, and the words, Gan Appeal to
Heaven"
Early in the Revolutionary War the
patriots showed their earnestness by
using what is known in history us
''The Rattlesnake flag" While it
cannot be claimed that this emblem
was very mystic, yet it was typical
of the resolution of the Americans in
their struggle for independence. The
flag was yellow in color, and showed
a coiled rattlesnake in the centre,

There are truck "farms" in New

About forty such acres are to be seen
in the vicinity of the Kingdom Come

tween the 104th and 116th street sta

or two years at a time, but no lease
falling in is now renewed for more
than six months in advance.

no distant day the increasing number

no distant day the increasing number
of stripes would destroy the beauty and
symmetry OF the flag. The stripes were
fixed forever at thirteen, the field was
elongated, making it rectangular, and
it was ordered that new star should
take its place in the field from the
Fourth of July succeeding the birth Of
each new State.
The Star Spangled Banner is the
most beautiful flag ever devised. As
you will observe, the flag of 1777 con-
tanned square field, in which the
five-pointed stars formed an endless
circle. The arrangement of the stars,
MS the new States were admitted, some
times required study and skill, but it
invariably retained its impressive
beauty, and will always be the most
striking among all the emblems of the
different nations of the earth.

Some countries have SO many ami.
yersaries to celebrate that they lose q
great deal of their significance. The
boys and girls will agree that the
fault of the United States lies rather
in the opposite direction, and that we
do not have enough of them. While
l am not prepared to say this, yet l
do insist that there should be one
more national holiday added to the
calendar; that is, the birth lay OF
"Old Glory" Little heed was paid

Greater New York, Typographical

area of 317 square miles; three times
the size of London and twelve times
that of Paris. Rome, Babylon and
Memphis are not to be mentioned in
the comparison, and the only real com
petitor, contemporanoous or historic,
will be Chicago, which, according to
the New York Tribune, spreads its
municipal outlines as far out on the
prairie as it chooses and is not going
to be left behind in any race for big.

EARLY AMERICAN ILAGs.

underneath which were the words,
''Don't Tread On Me-"
The first national fag used in 1776,
before the Declaration of Indepenl-
ence, contained thirteen red stripes,
alternating with white, signifyinS the
thirteen colonies The field was blue,
crossed with red bars, as in the colo
nial flag, and crossed again diagon-
ally by two narrow bars of white.
AS have stated, the first Star Span
gled Banner was unfolded to the
breeZes of heaven June IA, 1777.
Congress was then in session i'll Phila-
delphia, and there were well-founded
rumors of an invasion of the colonies
by Burgoyne, from Canada Congress-
appointed committee, of which John
Adams was Chairman, to examine the
various designs submitted, and to re-
port on n suitable flag for the new na-
tion, then in the throes of its first ex-
istence. The report of the committee,
made June IA, 1777, was the recon-
mendation:
"Ihat the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be thir-
teen stars, white, in blue field, rep
resenting u new constellation.
The report was adopted unanimous
ly, and Il sample flag OF silk was pre-
pared for Congress. The number of
stripes was made to correspond with
the number of States, and the colors
red, white and blue--were chosen
because of the distinctness with which
they can be seen at distance Fif-
teen years later, the Republic of
France, emerging from the Reign of
Terror and tempest OF blood, adopted
the same colors for its flag. The
pretty conceit was that the red repre-
sentcd the blood of the patriots, white
the purity of patriotism, and blue the
smiles of heaven.
The first idea of the American pa
triots was that n new star and new
stripe should be added to the flag for
each new State admitted into the
Union. May l, 1875, Kentucky and
Vermont having been admitted, Sena-
tor Bradley, of Vermont, offered n
resolution, adding two stars and two
stripes to the flag,
This would have answered if our
Union had been content to grow slow

tinually knocking at the door for ad-

The beet-sugar crop Of 1898 was
manufactured at seven factories, the
largest being in California, and others
in Nebraska, Utah and Virginia, the
latter only recently established and
with production for the past year of
only eighteen tons. The amount of
capital invested in the seven factories
is about $2,000,O0o. Tributary to
these factories, under cultivation in
beets are about 90, 900 acres of land,
the best of the California farms being
rated at 5000 an acre. The average
yield of the lands was ten tons of beets
to the acre, for which the farmers re-
ceived, delivered at the factories, aA
average of $3.50 per ton. Apparently
this is profitable crop; but not only
is fertile soil required, but high fer
tilization, and great deal OF hand
culture; SO that, on tue whole, the
crop is seldom heavy enough to be
profitable except on fertile land which
is too valuable for ordinary crops.
These requirements, and the fact that
sugor-beet cultivation must be in the

tory results are to be reached, will al.
