Another matter that the Inspector

hands or the potatoes. He handles

Everybody is making suggestions of
how the stars shall be arranged upon
the field of the Flag. and great many
are trying to fix the stars so that each
will stand for a State, and the people
of each State shall know just which one

for each" is the motto of the stars on
our flag, and 1t would be invidious dis
tinction to try to name any one Of them.
Furthermore, our Flag is known the
world over for its field of blue with its
stars in rectangular rows. To change it
now would be to change the Flag and
then we would no longer be able to
boast that we have the oldest flag in the
world, because the minute we change
the stars in the field to make one BIZ
star, as is just now being suggested, we
change the Flag SO that foreigners will

the very least, and it is not patriotic TO

he can from his farm seldom has
