The New Jersey Farmer has most
valuable suggestion for the relief of
the depleted State Treasury. Its
scheme is to sell the voting machines
now stored in cellars and the back
rooms of saloons. True, they cost
a whole lot of money, but the fellows
who needed it at the time the ma
chimes were bought have got it." They
must still be worth something as
Junk, and their sale would further
furnish "a capital excuse for the ap-
pointment of another commission.

This law still remains in force. No
provision was made for the manner of
arranging the stars, and since ISIS
there has been considerable diversity
in this respect. The army and navy
regulations as to the arrangement of
the stars and other matters regarding
the flag not provided for by law are
considered authoritative.
On July 4, 1908, the forty-siXth star
was added to the flag. This star was

The regulation flag of the United
States at present has thirteen horizon
tai stripes, seven red and six white, the
red and white stripes alternating, and
the union of the flag consists of forty
six white stars in a blue field placed II
the upper quarter next the staff, and
extending to the lower edge of the
fourth red stripe from the top. The
stars are arranged in six rows, the first
third and fourth and sixth having eigh'
stars each. and the other two rows

What is known as the American
Jack" is simply the blue union and

1t Is Known, However, That She
Was Employed Making Ban
r1ers for Government.
CHAPTER IL.
~ HE credit of making the first flag
containing the Stars and Stripes,

TT HE credit of making the first flag
containing the Stars and Stripes,
is given to Mrs. John Ross, or
Betsy Ross, as she is popularity called,
of Philadelphia. The story is that in
June. 1875, a committee of Congress,
accompanied by Washington, called
upon Mrs. Ross. who was an uphol-
~sterer, and engaged her to make a flag
from a rough drawing, which was
shown. The flag thus designed was
adopted by Congress. and is said to
have been the first star-spangled BAN
ner yer f1oated to the breeze. This
fitg was made in a small two-story and
attic house, at 239 Arch street, Phila
delphia. A few years ago the house
vas purchased by popular subscription
and transferred to the United States
Government to be preserved as an his
toric shrine. The account of Mrs. Ross
making the first flag was first brought
forward by William j. Candy, a grand
son of Mrs. Ross, who claimed that the
story was not based on tradition, but
was old to him when a boy. and also
to others by Mrs. Ross shortly before
her death. Many authorities, however,
doubt the story on the ground that
there are no accounts Of such an Incl
lent among any of the records of the
time. 1t is known. however, that Mrs.
Ross was employed for many years in
making flags for the United States
Government, according to the Free
Public Library, in Jersey City.
The earliest use for the new flag on
land appears to have been at Fort
Stanwix, or Fort Schuyler as it was
afterward called, situated on the site
of the present village of Rome, N. Y.
This fort was besieged by the British,
early in August, 1777. The garrison
