THE HISTORY OF OUR FLAG.

When the colonists first came over
to America they fought the Indians
and had their drills under the English
flag. But John Endicot who was the
leader of the Massachusetts Bay col
ony thought it was wrong for the peo-
pie to fight under the red cross they
hated and he cut it out of the flag
Then the people used that flag until
the Revolutionary war broke out and
then George Washington and some OF
the officers of his army went to Miss
Betsy Ross and told her to make them
a flag. George Washington drew on
a piece Of paper the picture of the
flag. He made the stars with ouly four
points but Betsy Ross said the stars
in the sky have five points and that
she would make five. points on her
stars. She made her flags with thir-
teen stripes. They were red and
white. In one corner Of the flag was
field of blue and in it were thirteen
stars and when they added another
state to the union they put in another
star but the number Of stripes never
change. Our flag now has forty-six
stars and thirteen stripes.

Dear Editor
One Fourth Of July little girl
named Mary invited us to her Fourth
of July party. She invited many girls
and boys. We went in wagon and
took our dinners with us. When we
got to the wood we put our dinners
under a shade tree. We played until
dinner time, then the boys went to
the tree and got our baskets OF dinner
and while we girls set the dinner out,
the boys jumped the rope.
We ate our dinners, and while the
girls packed away the dishes the boys
put up swings.
we had lots of fun swinging, and
when we got tired Of that we sat down
in the shade and told stories and rest
ed before time to 60 home.
Then the boys got the teams ana
carried our baskets to the wagons.
We all started home. and little boy
called George fell out Of the wagon,
and we whipped up and went OF and
left him., When we got to the bottom
of a big hill we waited for him. He
got into the wagon and we stopped at
Mady's house. u;
She gave us all flag so we would
remember that day we spent with her.
Then we departed for our own homes.
We all had pleasant time and hope
to meet again. Your Junior friend,

HISTORY OF THE FLAG.

On June II, 1777, General Washing
ton, Robert Morris and Colonel John
Ross went from Congress hall in Phil
adelphia to the home Of Betsy Ross on
239 Arch street for her to make the
national flag as she had been making
General Washington nice tucked and
ruffled shirts. At that time there were
thirteen colonies and there were thir-
teen stripes and thirteen stars in our
national flag The stars are blue and
the stripes red and white. In 1875 when
Vermont and Kentucky were added to
the union two stars and two stripes
were added to the flag and these fiji
teen stripes were on our banner until
1918. 1t was then though that If they
added stripes to the flag as well as
stars when a territory was made a
state the flag would be awful large or
else the stripes would be awful small
so they reduced the number Of stripes
to thirteen and added star whenever
a territory became state. We now
have forty-six stars in our flag. Our
flag is the most interesting flag in the
world and is the oldest existing flag in
the United States and of great historic
value for it was the first American
flag to be hung over an American YES
