Stripes. The coming Flag day will be
the seventeenth year that this day has
been observed Yearly it becomes more
general and it will be one of the great
est holidays.
On the i4th day of June, l777, con-
gress enacted That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes alternate red and white; that of
the union be thirteen stars, white in
blue field, representing new constel-
lation. The number of the stars hav-
ing been increased by the admission of
new states, the possibilities of the ma
tons future development dawned upon
the fathers, the original thirteen stripes
were unchangeably restored by act of
congress on April I, 1918, when 1t was
enacted, That from and after the fourth
d@y Of July next, the flag of the United
States be thirteen horizontal stripes ell
ternate red and white, that the union
be twenty stars, white, in hlue field.
and that on admission of new state
into tne union, one star be added TO the
unsoli flag, and such addition take effect
on the fourth day of July next succeed
ing such admission.
Since the struggle of lS6l-lS65. the
flag has become the symbol of mighty
nation. 1t has been carried to the ut
most parts of the earth, carrying lib
erty wherever il has been thrown to

A Striking Contrast

There passed down the main street OF
viroqua, last Wednesday, an OK team
drawing a lumber wagon. The animals
we're in harness and they walked as
rapidly as fleet span Of horses. It
was an unusual sight, being about for
ty years since oxen were used to do the
principal part OF the road hauling and
farm work of this county.
On the street at the same time stood
no less than dozen expensive automo-
Diles, property of individuals. And in
operation but few rods away was the
great tractor engine and road scraper
used by the city.
Visions Of the past, achievements OF
today and speculation as to the future,
ran through our craniums.
