WHERE SOLD GLORY" WAS BORN
Story of Its Origin in Betsy Ross's
Little Philadelphia Home.
(From the American Boy.)

(From the American Boy.)
If you were walking down one of
the business streets of Philadelphia
to-day, you might see little old
house, almost hidden by the ware
houses that tower above it on both
sides; and probably you would won
der how in the world that little house
came to be left there when all the
property around had been built up
for business purposes. 1t is just an
other proof that while Americans are
apt to think a good deal Of money
and business, they also save room in
their hearts for patriotism, for it is
just in that little house that "Old
Glory was born. And that happen
ed l40 years ago-in 1776.
"'rhe colonies" were then at war
with England, and Gen. Washington
asked the Continental Congress to
decide upon some one emblem to
stand for all the colonies. Congress
appointed committee of three men,
one Of whom was Washington him
self, TO "designate suitable flag for
the nation"
Gen. Washington and his friends
had their own ideas about how the
flag ought to be made, and they de-
cided to talk to Mrs. Betsy Ross
about making it. She lived in the
little house in Philadelphia and kept
an upholstery shop there. In their
design the flag was to have thirteen
stripes, and on blue field a star
for every colony. The men had de-
cidcd on siX-point star, but Mrs.
Ross thought a five-point star would
look better, and we have used five
point star ever since. She was a
very skilful needlewoman, and there
in the room back of her little shop
she made the first star-spangled ban
ner. 1t was neatly made, and very
beautiful. and when Gen. Washing
ton saw it. he was delighted.

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS.
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its International Popularity.

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma Of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that this
one brand could be SO different from
all others.
The answer to this question is to
be foun;, Oil the reverse side Of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: process Patented July 30,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men Of every taste Of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to perfect. But
the result has proven to be worth all
that was expended upon 1t, because it
has set free men who believe they
never could enjoy pipe or makin's
cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke a pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process, leaving for
the smoker only the joys of the fra
grant tobacco.
1t Is fact that since Prince AL
bert arrived" just about six years
ago, it has made three men smoke
pipes where one smoked a pipe be-
fore!-Ady.

25-Ccnh Cotton After War =?
(Atlanta Journal.)

That cotton will go to rs cents af-
ter the war is clear, according TO c..
K. Porter, formerly of Rome. but now
president OF the Consolidated Petro-
lcum Corporation, Of New York.
Cotton will bring more after the
end Of the war than at any time
since our Civil War;" said Mr.. Por-
ter Europe will clamor for it
when she starts her aggressive man
ufacturing campaign, and in my opin-
ion the price will 90 to 25 cents"
Mr.. Porter said that profits from
war orders in the east had filled the
banks in that section to overnowing,
and money at low rate was availa-
bic for all kinds Of enterprises.

PAPERS TO INCREA SE PRICE.
University Says Newspapers Will Be
Forced to Raise Prices.

A dispatch from Lawrence, Kan
sas. says:
After a thorough investigation and
canvass of the newspaper situation
the department Of journalism Of the
Kansas University has issued the
following bulletin:
The newspapers Of the United
States to-day face a situation unpar-
alleled in the history of the press of
the country. The public has felt the,
effect of the European war in pur-
chasing commodities, and it IS about
to feel its effect upon the price Of
| newspapers. 1t Is now up to the
| newspapers to tell their readers and
| advertisers why an increase in price
| Is necessary. In other words, the
| press faces an educational campaign
| for it's own salvation.
when the average man purchases
staple article to-day and finds the
price has increased from 25 to SO per
cent he already knows or is told that
the war has brought about such n
condition. The manufacturer Of that
article has already perhaps advertis-
ed the fact that he is compelled to
increase his prices. No industry Is
more seriously affected by the war
than the newspapers Of this country,
and yet an increase in advertising or
| circulation rates is immediately
frowned upon because the newspap-
ers have failed to inform the public
to what great extent they are al
fected by the war.
IF the newspapers will tell thei. :
readers and advertisers that the price
of some inks has increased 400 per
cent; that rags, the raw material for
paper-making, are also used for the
manufacture Of high explosives and
has ascended in cost on a level with
the Eifel Tower; that French bleach,
so necessary for the manufacture of
paper, can hardly be had at any price,
and that score Of other necessary
chemicals have jumped almost out of
sight, they will find their tasks of
raising rates much easier That all
newspapers will be compelled to take
such action Is certain. Many have al
ready done so, and the paper
attempting to adhere to it's old rate
basis will soon find the sheriff lock-
ing the front door. The big paper
mills Of the country see no relief in
sight for many months, even should
the great war cease this summer
something now unexpected. The
newspapers of this country will be
compelled to do what the big manu-
facturers have already done-raise
their rates in proportion to the in
creased cost Of production.

THE RACE OF LIFE.
A Talk With the Bows,
Progressive Farmer.)

zone Of the foremost men in the
United States Senate, the chairman of
the committee on agriculture and the
occupant Of other positions Of high
| responsibility. is blind man-Sena-
tor Thos. p. Gore, of Oklahoma. The
fact that he has won such distin-
guished success despite handicap
that would have disheartened and
ruined many a man, certainly quail

the qualities essential for success.)
AS chairman of the Committee on
Agriculture Of the United States
Senate. appreciate the privilege af-
forded me by Editor Poe to say a
word to the farm boys of the South.
The nation Is interested in your sue
cess. The nations chiefest asset is
to be found not in its material riches,
but in the character and conscience
Of it's people.
The life Of every individual is
made up largely Of failures and sue
cesses. Analyze every failure. Make
it tell you its secret, why it hap
pened and how it could have been
avoided. Generally speaking, the
failures are due to one of the three
following conditions:
!. The thing attempted may have
been in the nature OF things an i'm
possibility.
2. The thing attempted may have
been possibility and yet may have
been beyond the capacity and re-
sources Of the person attempting It
an impossibility in given case.
3. The thing attempted may have
been a possibility even for the person
attempting it, and the failure may
have resulted from inattention or in
efficiency on his part.
Analysis will show that perhaps
half of your failures are due to TAX
ing things for granted, expecting
things to go right on their own ac-
count without taking the pains to see
that they go right. Nearly the other
half of your failures will be due to
putting off until tomorrow what
ought to be done to-day. Things do
not wait; opportunities do not loiter;
time does not linger. This is an age
Of the keenest competition. All the
intellects Of all the earth are fiercely
engaged in this competition. Things
worth doing will find somebody eager
f0 n hn,, %1 <3,,
than Macbeth meant it, LET the
firstling Of your heart be the firstling
OF your hand"
Many young people who are not
"favorites Of fate, in fortunes lap ca
ressed," seem to think that the sun
has set upon the day Of opportu
seem to think that the gateways OF
opportunity have been bolted and
barred against them. This is not
true. But if it were true. intelli-
gence. persistence, is the passkey and
the only key that could be relied
upon to unlock the closed doors OF
opportunity.
Keep your word. Keep your faith.
Deserve the confidence of your fel-
lowman. Time and experience will
teach you that this confidence is the
best Of all commercial assets. They
will teach you infinitely more than
this. They will teach you as the
years come and go that there is no
substitute for personal integrity; that
without this all other virtues wither
away and die. They will teach you
that after all a good name is the i'm
mediate jewel Of the soul.

HUI BAND AND WIFE
In A FATAL DUEL

Williamsburg, Ky, Feb. 9.-Mrs.
Everett Burnett is dead and her hus-
band is in the county Jail with two
pistol balls in his breast as a result of
a duel between them at their home at
Savoy. Burnett had been drinking,
it is alleged, and got out his pistol.
When his wife succeeded in taking it
from him, he grabbed a shotgun that
was near, it is said. Both shot about
the same time, his shot taking effect
in her abdomen. She died two hours
later. Both of her shots took effect,
one in each side of the breast. He
will likely recover. Burnett was
section foreman for the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company on the
Pine Mountain division, and is about
thirty years old. Both are natives of
Whitney county, having been reared
in Woodbine.

tate at East Island, Glen Cove, has
won a verdict for $4,000 damages
