ioned blue stem hay was brought to

grass are now found growing on the
same farm in this section of the coun-

BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Friday, the l4th of June, will be the
one hundred thirtieth anniversary of the
birth of flag OF the United States. The
flag was designed for nation of thir-
teen colonies, stretched like belt along
the Atlantic coast, made up of less than
three millions of people without com.
mon traditions or language; drawn to-
gether only by common danger from
savages within, and oppression from
without, which threatened their eXis-
tence and liberties. The flag now
waves over great nation, extending
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Lakes
from the Atlantic to beyond the Paci-
fic Sea; and inhabited by nearly ninety
millions of people, who speak a com
mon language.
Our flag is now-in form the oldest
flag of civilized nations. The resOu-
tion 10y Congress for the adoption of
the stars and Stripes on June the 18th,
1777, was as follows: -"Resolved that
the flag of the United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and white
that the union be thirteen stars, white
in blue field, representing a new con-
stellation." The design of this flag is
credited to George Washington, and in
part was taken from his family coat of
arms. Such is the origin Of flag ded
icated TO the proposition that "All men
are created equal" Let us honor the
natal day of our National flag display
ing II from our public buildings,
schools, and homes in recognition of
this memorable day.
The men of the Grand Army of the
Republic who preserved the nation i'm
the greatest struggle of modern times
and made vital the Declaration of our
fathers call upon all who live under the
flag to recognize this day by patriotic
Observances in schools and, on the sun
day preceding, in churches. To this
end we suggest that the Governor of ev-
cry state by proclamation announce
the day and promote its recognition;
that the press scatter this call, as seeds
of patriotism, broadcast over the land.
Such recognition will nourish the great.
ness of our nation, inculcate noble cit
izenship, the principles of civil liberty
and be an object lesson to the new gen
erations that have come upon the stage
since the Civil War.

THE NAIION'S SABBATH.

"And this day shall be unto you for
memorial. Exodus xii, Ia.
The day is meant for silence; the day
that is set apart
To show all the love and honor that
throb in the nations heart;
To show that we still hold sacred theii
hope, and their faith and their trust
by placing the tender tribute of roses
above their dust.
The day that is meant for quiet, except
that the muffled drum
Shall thrum to the whispered fling that
tells when the marches come
Except that the soft-voiced bugle shall
sing of the growing gaps
I'm the ranks of the living comrades
that lullaby low of "Taps."
The day that is meant for silence: a
day that is meant for thought;
The flag as a sign and symbol of all
that those dead have wrought:
And roses and waxed lilies, adrip with
the dews of dawn:
To CLEAN to the silent places where
slumber the soldiers gone.
This day-it is meant for stiffness, foI
stiffness on land and sea;
For bushes on hill, in valley-whereveT
their places be;
For some rest below the billows and
some sleep beneath the sod,
But all have country's honor, and all
have the peace of God.

be done under the supervision of one
township road inspector, who shall
have one assistant. The town meeting
annually shall designate the amount to
be raised for the roads, but it shall not
exceed 80 cents on each 500 valuation
The new law abolishes the old system
which has been in force since territori.
