Certainly Oregon has no rea-
son to be dissatisfied with the
progress being made in popula-
ting the state, since the report
recently issued by the State La
Dor Commissioner at Salem in
dicates that there are now 122,-
S22 more residents in Oregon
than there were when the 1910
census was compiled. Four
years ago there were 672,765
reople in the state, as compared
with 795,5S7 at this time. The
report was compiled from the
enrolment and attendance fig
ures of the school department
| in each county. The report ir-
dicates that the growth in popu-
/ lation is somewhat "patchy"
throughout the state, some
counties having made remark
able advances while others have
grown but little, while in several
Instances there appears to have
been a loss. Multncmah count!
shows the largest gain, 50,9z2
while Hood River Josephine
Morrow and Sherman counties
show q population slightly
smaller than four years ago.

Respect for The Flag

F the celebration OF Flag Day, each
year, accomplishes nothing else of
a practical nature, it at least re-
. wives in the breast Of every true
American a respect for his flag. Not
every one, you know, even though he
might be eager to tight for the nag
should occasion arise, feels a venera-
ton for the Stars and Stripes, for the
flag itself, at all times. All too often
many Of US are inclined to look upon
II as simply a piece Of bunting.
But there was one little fellow, in
a moving picture show the other even
ing, who quite evidently considers the
flag always the sacred emblem Of his
country and. therefore. to be re-
spected.
This little lad, with his mother, was
intensely interested in a thrilling bat
tie picture" being shown on the
screen. A desperate charge was be-
ing made by the Union soldiers upon
the entrenched enemy Suddenly on
the screen the color bearer was seen to
stop, throw up his hands and fall to
earth. presumably dead. And as he
fell. the flag fell with him.
Hey! Catch it," shouted the little
boy, jumping to his feet. Don't let
the flag touch the groundi"
Hush Hush!" commanded his
mother, selling him by the arm. 1T

"A STAR FOR
"A STATE

ar course you know that each
white star on our Flag represents
W a State Of the Union. And a very
pretty and effective idea It is. too;
but do you know how the plan origl-
mated?
When General washington raised
his flag at Cambridge. on January
End. 1875. it consisted Of thirteen
stripes. alternate red and white, with
a blue canton. or field. upon which
was emblazoned the English crosses Of
St. George and st. Andrew But one
year later Congress decided that the
field be changed to thirteen white stars
upon blue background. And In 1874.
when Kentucky and Vermont were
admitted TO the Union as States, the
number Of stripes were increased to
fifteen and two more stars were ad-
ded to the thirteen already there.
Twenty-four years elapsed before
any further change was made In the
design Of "Old Glory" and then Con-
gress at the suggestion OF Samuel G..
Reid, reduced the number OF stripes
to the original thirteen, but decided to
add new star to the Flag on the
Fourth Of July Immediately succeed
ing tho admission OF each new State
10 the Union. And from then on,
this plan has been followed.

You have your WISH" said the
Good Fairy. with a smile. From now
on you shall be called Nightingale.
And your sweet song, rich and mellow,
and laden with wonderful love-notes,
shall fill the night and make it beau
tiful. When the other songsters are
deep in sleep, your notes shall ring
forth beneath the stars and bring joy
and love to the hearts of mankind
But, alas, even with you there must
be the bad with the good. Such is all
life. Your life shall be short and your
body frail, for your real strength is
in your soul and your song. Other
birds shall envy you and make cruel
war upon you. But in the heart OF
man you shall be enshrined and, in
deed a sweet singer Of the human
race shall deem 1t truly an honor for
people to call her nightingale
"Pihe!" spoke up a queer-looking
bad-tempered bird quite near to
Nightingale. Il wish nothing so silly

Good Fairy hesitated a moment and
then cast har spell; and presently Pea
cock blinked a few times and gazed
down at his reflection in the snim-
mering pool close by.
"Oh!" he exclaimed, and then
"Ah!" and then "Ohl" again, so de-
lighted was he with his fan-like. yari-
colored tail and his neck and breast
of an iridescent, greenish blue and his
delicate crest. So proud was he that
he lifted up his voice to cry out "Oh, ]
ami so beautiful"
But at the first note he stopped
amazed. stunned, for his voice was a
thin. high screech that gave all the
other birds the shivers. Indeed, they
quickly clapped their wings over their
ears to shut out the dreadful sound
you said nothing about your voice
remember" said the Good Fairy
gazing sadly at the astounded Pea
cock, NOR your feet either-look al
them"
Peacock looked down. Instantly hi:
proud tail dropped until it touched the
ground and the tears began to flow
for his feet were large and scaly and
hideous. He skunk back in the crowd
crestfallen. And to this day, the pea
cock has but to hear his own voics

crowd.

boys are afraid to go to sleep in the
dark or, at least, not entirely satisfied
that the huge black shape over in the
corner Of the room is an armchair
and not a desperate, cruel burglar.
Now, 1t happened, that one of the
family's choicest possessions was a
flag which the Grandfather had car
ried through many battles of the Civil
War. 1t was torn and tattered from
shot and shell and stained and wealth
er-beaten. Butt was a flag Of tho
United States and. moreover, a flag
that had been on the firing line. So,
you may be sure, the little fellow con-
sidered it a rare treat indeed to be
allowed to feel it with his own hands
every now and then.
One night, not long ago, when the
wind was blowing a gale outside and
the rain was pouring in torrents, the
little chap found it most difficult to
close his eyes and go to sleep; some-
how, they just seemed bent on staying

And so the meeting continued. with
all the birds, one by one, asking and

These are cut up into the proper
lengths and then the strips are sewn

out OF white bunting by machines, are
placed in their proper places. The
sewing completed, the flags are care

can be found in them.
But when Uncle Sam has made the
American flags for his battleships, he
has not finished his task. Each vessel
in the Navy must carry the flags OF all
nations and a number OF others for
special occasions. Indeed a ship Is

in her lockers two hundred and fifty

p%E n HEN we celebrate Flag Day
on June I4th each year, are
~ all Of us aware that the Star
Wv Spangled Banner floating
above US is not the same IN APP
pearanoe as the one for which
our ancestors fought In the Rev
ol1uaon7 There are many points
Of similarity, OF course, between the
Ffirst American flag and the one Of to-
day, bait the two are truly different.
The red and white stripes were in the
origtnal flag and SO were the white
stars on blue field, but the flag itself
possld look strange indeed to our eyes.
Tl1is firHt American aag was adopted
lhy Congress on June IA, 1880. And
sise. story OF how it was designed Is an
1otepesting one. even though you may
have read Il before. During the Rev
lolnfiun there had been many different
gcolpniaf flags, but at the close OF the
lwar 4 was felt that a flag for the whole
country should be chosen. SO a com
mittee was appointed TO look into the
matter 'and decide upon a suitable de-
aAgn-
This committee was composed OF
General George Washington, Frank
i4hf 0rN&Nia anu AAtUHtl iAhHht the lhI-
ter an uncle Of the famous Betsy Ross.
They we're all agreed that the coiorB
should be red, white and blue and
that rhe white stars should be upon a
blue fieid: but for quite a while the
conmitbee could not decide upon the
grouping Of the stars. It is said that
the patriotic John Adams wanted them
ARRANGED like a harp: but the COM
xnittee did not approve this design.
Instead, they went TO see Mrs. Betsy
Ross In Philadelphia, who kept a
store where furniture was upholstered.
General Washington, so the story
runs, displayed for her inspec-
tion stars with six points. but the deft
fingers OF Betsy Ross seized a piece
OF cloth, folded II and with single
snip OF her scissors cut out fve-
pointed star which was perfectly
