Many States Will Celebrate
Birth of Our Flag June IA

ment dawned upon our fathers, and the
original thirteen stripes were unchange-
ably restored by act OF congress on April
4, 1918. when it was enacted that from
and after the fourth day of July next
the flag Of the United States be thirteen
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 and such
addition take effect on the fourth day of
July next succeeding such admission. -
Since 1918 twenty stars or sovereign states
have been added to the Union, making
forty-five in all.
Since the struggle of 1915 the flag
has become the symbol of a mighty ma
ton. 1t has been carried to the utmost
parts of the earth, carrying liberty wher-
ever it has been thrown to the breeze.
Americans cannot fail of a feeling of
pride and satisfaction nor restrain the
swelling of patriotism in the breast when
we contrast the meaning in far distant
lands of ours and other flags displayed
together.
The stars and stripes within the recent
past have come to possess new beauty
for friendly eyes and new terror for the
foes of liberty.
We respectfully appeal to the governors
OF all the states of our land and to the
mayor of each American city to herald
the coming of the day in 1915 and its cele-
bration on Monday. June IA. by proclama-
ton; We call upon every public officer.

to call public attention. to arouse enthn-

bration in 1915 a great event. Let us. from
one end of our land to the other. fling

Sweet clover is not as valuable as
alfalfa for hog pasture, but can be sue

years of careful experimenting at the
Iowa experiment station has developed
this fact. If a good stand is secured
in the spring sweet clover will furnish
considerable pasture for hogs the first
season. 1t could not be recommended
in the place of alfalfa, but where al
