The first striped flag was flung to

crosses of st. George and St. Andrew
on blue field. When reported in
England it was alluded to as the

In 1775 a navy of seventeen vessels,
varying from ten to thirty-two guns,
was ordered. The senior of the five

it on record that the Flag Of Ameri:
ca" was hoisted by his own hands on
his vessel the Alfred, the first time
it was ever displayed by a man-of-
war. This was probably the same de-
sign as the Cambridge flag used in
January, 1776.
We now come to the time when the
crosses of st. George and St. Andrew
were taken from the Union flag and

the powers. The country's standard,
with its thirteen stars and stripes,
which was first unfurled June IA, 1777,
just 125 years ago. has remained prac-
tically unchanged through the prog
ress and growth of the country Of
which it saw the birth. The star
spangled banner which now floats
over Uncle Sans possessions on
lands and seas, is unaltered, with the
exception of the number and arrange

There are many traditions afloat
concerning the origin of this design.
but the one in which there is un-
doubtedly the most truth is that which
credits the idea of the design to Wash
ington. The General found in the
coat-of-arms of his own family a
hint from which he drew a design for
the flag. The coat-of-arms of the
Washington family was two red bars
on white ground, 0nd three gilt
stars above the top bar. The Ameri-
can flag. once decided upon, was
rushed through in hurry. for the
army was in need of a standard.
Betsy Ross enthusiastically under
took the work, and in a few days a
beautiful star-spangled banner was
ready to be unfurled. She had made
one alteration in the design submitted
by Washington. The General had
made his stars six pointed, as they
were on his coat-of-arms. Betsy Ross
made her stars with five points-and
five points have been used ever since.
For several years Mrs. Ross made the
flags FOR the government.
The first using of the stars and
stripes in military service, it is
claimed, was at Fort StanwiX. re-
named Fort Schuyler. now Rome, New
York, 1777. Aug. of that year the
fort was besieged by the British and
Indians; the garrison was without a
flag, but one was made in the fort.
The red stripes were of petticoat
furnished by a woman, the white for

officer, who gave his shirt for the pur

tory. 1t has been stated that its use
grew out of a humorous suggestion
made by a writer in Franlllins paper
the Pennsylvania Gazette-taat, in
return for the wrongs which England
was forcing upon the colonists, a
cargo of rattlesnakes SHOULD be
sent to the mother country and dis
tributed in St. James Park and other
places of pleasure Col. Gadsden,
one of the marine committee, pre-
sented to congress on the Sth Of Feb
ruary, 1916, "an elegant standard, such
as is to be used by the commander
in-chief of the American navy" be-
ing yellow flag with a representa-
ton of a rattlesnake coiled for at
tack.
Another use for the rattlesnake was
upon a ground of thirteen horizontal
bars. alternately red and white, the
snake extending diagonally across the
stripes. and the lower white stripes
bearing the motto, Don't Tread on
Me" The snake was always repre-
sented as having thirteen rattles. One
of the favorite t1agS also was Of white
with a pine tree in the center. The
words at the top were: AN Appeal

were the words: Don't Tread on

ing ahead some twenty or more years,
saw that this plan OF adding a stripe
as well as star for each state added
to the Union would mean constant
changing of the flag, which would, in
a few years, become so large and un-
calmly that its beauty would be lost.
A committee in 1872 was elected by
congress to decide upon a permanent
design for the flag, and the result
was that the thirteen original stripes
were again used, the stars arranged
on the blue field in the form of a
square, with one constellation for each
new state. In 1918 this plan was for
mally adopted by congress, and the
flag, with its thirteen stripes and stars
corresponding in number to the states
in the Union, became the established
emblem Of America.

A letter from the John Church Music
Co., sole agents, in the United States, OF
the Everett piona, in speaking of piano
dealers who claim, (surrpetitiously) to
have had the agency in this vicinity,
states as follows: Now the way they
spell the word Everett they evidently
are trying to mislead the public and
think they are safe in printing the
name the way they do. You can state
to the public generally that you are the
only authorized agency for Everett
pianos and you can also call the atten-
ton of individuals to the evident desire
on their part to mislead the public, and
with right thinking people you will
come out ahead every time"

Van Dyke & Eaton Company Presents

The Van Dyke & Eaton Company
played again to big business Tuesday
night when they presented a melo-
drama entitled Across the Desert"
The performance was not up to the
standard of dramatic merit of the
opening night, but pleased the aud
fence. Among the numerous special
ties the Juggling turn of James Mccoy
was especially good. The company is
giving good satisfaction and is a Won
derfully big show for the money. Some
of the specialities alone are worth the
price OF admission.
