Hurrah! Today is the day we cele.
brate. and the day of all days when the
American heart swells with patriotic
pride at the sight of Old Glory flung to
the morning breeze. and he feels like
screaming with the great eagle that
proudly perches above the billowing folds
of the Stars and Stripes.
And it is on this anniversary of the ma.
tion's birth that the American reflects
upon the glorious history of that gallant
standard, and be is fervently thankful
when he realizes what each OF its stripes
and each Of its stars means to his race.
With the full realization of what it cost
to keep that banner whole and pure, be
tosses his hat high up and yells II urrah! /!
And the small boy, going the way of his
fathers, blows off his fingers. and likes
to do it if ha can celebrate the Fourth IN
necomiug manner.
Los Angeles enters upon a celebration
today the like OF which will not be sur
passed by any city of its size and which

American flags, but they are the finest
made.

fully and regardless of expense, the down
town houses vying with each other in
their patriotic display.
