Agricultural Expert.

E~nterprising farmers and bankers OF
Otter Tail county have notified the de-
partment of agriculture that the coun-
ty will raise the necessary money to
pay the expenses of an agricultural ex-
pert to be located In the county. The
expenses have been apportioned be-
tween the different parts of the county,
and with one or two exceptions every
village has given assurance that its
share would be raised, and yen In
these villages there is little doubt that
they will do their part with the rest.
In some parts of the country a senti-
ment prevails that the funds should be
raised by taxation, that a cent per acre
would produce a fund of $4,000, enough
TO supply an expert and four assistants,
without state or national aid. How
ever . the present the work is to be
inaugurated on a small scale.

ITO the rapid settlement OF these new
countries. Admission OF several new
states began to increase the number
Of stripes. making its appearance IN
calmly. The possibilities of the na-
tons future development dawned upon
the coHntry's fathers. and to keep the
American flag in its former graceful
proportions, further legislation was
necessary.
Wisely 1t was concluded to I'M
changeably restore the original thir-
teen stripes and to show the increas-
ing states to add the corresponding
number OF stars in the blue field. Ac-
cordingly on April 4. 1913, congress en-
acted a second flag law that from
and after July next, the
flag OF the United States be thir-
teen horizontal stripes, alternate. red
and white that the union be twenty
stars, white in a blue field, and that
on the admission of a new state into
the union, one star be added to the
union of the flag; such addition to
take effect on July 4 next, succeeding
such admission.
Since 1878. twenty-eight stars or
sovereign states have been added to

Flag Day, June ia.
To commemorate the anniversary
Of h adoption Of the flag, June Ia, is
celebrated al Flag day In a large part
of h United States though the exact
date when the observance OF this time
began is not definitely known, Prior
to 1890 such a day was % legally
recognized, but upon the expression of
public sentiment of various patriotic
figures in national life, celebration of
the day has become more prevalent
throughout the country each succeed
ing year.
Public spirit developed and led to
the formation of an association whose
sole object was to promote reverence
for and prevent the Dissertation of
the American flag, and to urge upon
congress the enactment of a law pro-
viding for the legal observance of the
anniversary Of it's adoption.
The American Flag association was
planned first July 10, 1897, but was
not completely organized until Feb.
18. 1898. when 1t was chartered. It's
motto is; One Flag, One Country, God
Over All.
Since it's formation it has been ac-
tive to secure national and state leg
~islation for the protection of the flag
from degrading uses. 1t has been
largely instrumental in procuring the
general observance of June IA as Flag
day and this year has asked all the
governors, who are not too busily en-
gagged otherwise just now in their po-
lftfcal futures, to issue a prociama-

Mrs. Ross was quick to see that a

she told the great man, VINO at first

piece Of paper I'm a triangular shape
and clipped off one end, which, when

The cleverness of the idea so caught
the fancy of Washington that at once
he permitted the star of his original
design to be dropped and that Of Mrs.
Ross to be substituted. That IS the
only distinction to be accorded Mrs.
Ross. That she made the first Amerf-

is often attributed to her.
