OBSERVE FLAG DAY.
Tomorrow, June IA, Should Be Object
Lesson IN Patriotism.

AT the ninetieth national convention
OF the ladies Of the q. a. r., It was
recommended THAT they support the Of
forts and cooperate with The tirand
Army in tho whole matter Of. patriotic
education. 1t is our earnest desire to
instiil ii the minds Of the children what
the. civil war veterans have implanted
by acts. We cannot place too high an
estimate on the value of teaching patri-
otism. 1t was recommended that the
fourteenth day of June be recognized
As flag day." to be observed annually
in the display OF the United States flag,
at their dwellings and places of busi-
ness, to commemorate the birthday OF
the flag On the date Of its adoption BIZ
Congress, June II, l777. Even boys and
girls, though their influence may not
be great, may do something To show
their public spirit. Let us see to it
that we uphold its banner.
This question is asked 4AVhy should
the flag Of such d country be called
Old Glory'?H Because it is twenty
three years older than the present flag
of Great Britain, seventeen years older
than the French tri+color, nearly one
hundred years older than the present flags
Of Germany and Italy and eight years
older than the flag Of Spain. This flag
representing d nation Of eighty millions
OF people stands for independence, Dig
nifty and power. Il has been stormed
with shot and she'll and torn to tatters
in hundred BATTLES, but has always
waved for freedom. Il stands now for
d united people. 1t is beloved III every
section Of our territory and when it
waves aloft IL II all one to us whether
