The first rebel flag had three broad
stripes, red, white and red, with a
blue field in the corner, bearing seven
white stars arranged in q circle. This
was adopted as the official flag by the
Confederate Congress at Montgomery,
Ala.
General Beauregard designed the re-
bel battle flag This design was adopt
ed by Gen. Joseph f. Johnston, after
the first Manassas and later by the
Confederate Congress. The stars and
bars had been too easily mistaken
for the stars and stripes.
The battle flag consisted of a solid
white field with a red square in the
corner. cut diagonally both ways by
broad red stripes, studded with stars,
counting seven in each direction.
The first national flag of the Confed-
crate States was adopted May J. 1863,
by the Confederate Congress. 1t con-

It has been reported that the auto
mobiles are now entering Maine at
the rate of one a minute. No way is
known of verifying this statement
though it is hoped it is true. Automo
bile owners from other states are al
lowed 80 days in Maine without reg
istering, and of course many merely
pass through and others stay but a
few days or even hours But anyway,
the autos are now bringing thousands

do not realize the danger arising from
fresh injuries to tree. The tree own
CT should realize that prompt attend
ance to fresh injuries will largely do
away with the need of tree surgery 10

must realize that if they make fresh
injuries in the living bark, when treat

the tree open to more dangers of infec-

Just as a person is subject to infec
ton through cuts and scratches, trees
are rendered subject to infection by
having their living bark torn. Notwith-
standing this, many tree surgeons use
pruning hooks and climbing spurs and
cut fresh gashes in the tree. To break
